Application Steps
Admission relies strictly on national level merit ranks through NEET-UG for undergraduate studies and NEET-MDS for postgraduate specialisations. Sumandeep Vidyapeeth releases program-specific cutoff lists following the central counselling rounds conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) or designated state authorities. Eligible candidates must match these declared cutoffs to secure a position on the institutional merit list.
Once your merit rank aligns with the published cutoff, you must present original verification documents—including clinical rotatory internship completion certificates for PG applicants—at the Piparia campus. The admission is formalised only after verification of eligibility criteria and settlement of the first-semester academic fee through the university's specified bank portal.
