Established in 2008, the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) in Adilabad is a respected government medical college in Telangana. The institute is affiliated with the Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Warangal, and is fully recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), assuring students of a quality medical education that meets national standards. The flagship course at RIMS Adilabad is the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program, with a total intake of 125 students. For those targeting admissions in the 2025-2026 academic year, a competitive score in the NEET-UG examination is essential. Seats are allocated through state-level counselling conducted by KNRUHS, catering to both state and all-India quota candidates. A major highlight for students is the highly subsidized fee structure, a common feature of government colleges. The annual tuition fee for the MBBS course is expected to be approximately INR 10,000 for the convener quota in the 2025 batch. After completing their academic tenure, graduates are required to undergo a one-year compulsory rotating residential internship. This hands-on training at the institute's associated hospital provides invaluable clinical experience. During this period, interns receive a monthly stipend as per government regulations. Following their internship, most graduates either pursue postgraduate specializations or enter medical practice.
