Vardhman Mahavir Medical College (VMMC), Delhi, primarily offers medical education integrated with clinical exposure at Safdarjung Hospital, one of Asia’s largest multi-specialty hospitals. Given the nature of medical education, placement processes differ from traditional campus recruitments and mainly focus on internships, postgraduate entrance exam results, and career growth in healthcare institutions.
VMMC’s Placement Cell coordinates training, internships, and support for career advancement primarily for undergraduate and postgraduate medical students. While the college does not have typical campus placements seen in engineering or management schools, the placement cell facilitates connections with reputed hospitals and clinics for internships and employment. It organizes workshops on resume-building, interview preparation, CV writing, and career counseling sessions to prepare students for competitive NEET PG exams and job interviews in healthcare institutions.
The top recruiters for VMMC graduates include well-known public and private healthcare providers:
All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi
Fortis Healthcare
Apollo Hospitals
Max Healthcare
Medanta – The Medicity
Government Hospitals across India
Private multi-specialty hospitals and clinics
Research organizations and pharmaceutical companies also recruit VMMC graduates for research and clinical trial projects.
Though official placement data largely reflects postgraduate and specialty course outcomes:
The median annual package for undergraduate MBBS graduates is approximately INR 1.25 Lakhs (largely reflecting internship stipends and entry-level clinical roles).
For postgraduate students (MD/MS), the median package is around INR 1.48 Lakhs, with opportunities for government medical service, private hospital appointments, and academic positions.
Approximately 90% of postgraduate students find placement or pursue further specialization within six months of graduation.
Internship stipends at Safdarjung Hospital range between INR 15,000 to INR 27,000 per month, increasing over the internship period.
Roughly 30% of students secure placements through campus/faculty assistance, while many others gain positions via competitive exams, government service, or private sector applications.
Internships form an integral part of VMMC’s medical education, offering practical exposure:
Internships are primarily conducted at Safdarjung Hospital, exposing students to high patient volumes and diverse clinical cases.
Students rotate through departments such as General Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Radiology, and Emergency Medicine.
The hospital provides a structured internship program that is compulsory for MBBS students to gain hands-on clinical experience.
Internship experience is highly valued for postgraduate entrance exams and employment in both public and private sectors.
