Shri Balaji Institute of Nursing

About

Established in 2013, IQ City Medical College in Durgapur has quickly become a notable private institution for medical studies in West Bengal. It is affiliated with the West Bengal University of Health Sciences (WBUHS) and holds the all-important recognition from the National Medical Commission (NMC), ensuring the quality and validity of its medical degree. While its position in the 2025 NIRF rankings is awaited, its modern infrastructure and large teaching hospital make it a popular choice among aspirants. The college's flagship program is the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS). Admission is strictly based on the performance in the NEET UG examination, with seats allocated through both state and management quota counselling. For the upcoming 2025 academic session, the annual tuition fee for management quota seats is expected to be approximately INR 24 lakhs, though the final figure will be confirmed by the college authorities. The college also offers postgraduate MD and MS programs in various specialities for those looking to further their medical education. A key strength of the college is its attached 798-bed IQ City Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, which provides students with extensive hands-on clinical exposure. After completing their course, graduates undergo a mandatory one-year compulsory rotating residential internship (CRRI), for which they receive a stipend. While specific post-graduation placement data for the 2025 and 2026 batches will only be available after they complete their studies, graduates typically go on to prepare for the NEET PG entrance for specialisation or join healthcare institutions as medical officers.
