SGT MD FAQs

For the management quota, closing ranks were 35,709 (2022), 25,885 (2023), and 35,109 (2024). Candidates typically need a NEET PG rank within the top 15,000-35,000 (UR category) to have a realistic chance, though this varies year to year.
Ques. Is the MD Radiodiagnosis seat at SGT University available through the All India Quota (AIQ) or only through Haryana state counselling?
Ans. MD Radiodiagnosis seats at SGT University are filled through the Haryana NEET PG state counselling conducted by DMER Haryana / Pt. BD Sharma UHS, Rohtak. The 50% state quota seats are reserved for Haryana domicile candidates or those who completed MBBS from a Haryana institution. The remaining management quota seats are open to candidates from other states as well. There is no AIQ allocation for private university seats in Haryana; non-domicile candidates can apply for management quota seats through the state counselling portal.
Ques. What imaging equipment and facilities are available in the Radiodiagnosis department at SGT Medical College?
Ans. The Radiodiagnosis department at SGT Medical College is equipped with modern diagnostic imaging infrastructure including digital X-ray units, multi-slice CT scanners, 1.5T MRI machines, colour Doppler ultrasound systems, fluoroscopy units, and mammography equipment. The department also provides training in interventional radiology procedures such as image-guided biopsies, drainage procedures, and vascular interventions. Being a 1000+ bed teaching hospital in the Delhi-NCR region, the department handles a diverse and high-volume case mix including trauma, oncology, and emergency radiology, providing residents with comprehensive exposure.
Ques. Do MD Radiodiagnosis residents at SGT Medical College receive a stipend, and is there a bond requirement?
Ans. Yes, all PG residents at SGT Medical College receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 56,100 throughout all 3 years of the programme, as mandated by the Haryana government for private medical colleges. There is no service bond requirement at SGT. However, if a candidate leaves the seat after joining, a penalty of Rs. 10 Lakh is levied along with a 3-year debarment from Haryana NEET PG counselling. This is an important consideration for candidates who may be simultaneously participating in multiple state counselling processes.
Ques. Can the MD Radiodiagnosis fee at SGT University be paid in instalments, and what is the total financial commitment?
Ans. The course fee of Rs. 45 Lakh is payable on a per-annum basis (approximately Rs. 15 Lakh per year), not as a single lump sum. For state quota admissions, the first-year fee is deposited at Pt. BD Sharma UHS, Rohtak, during the counselling process. In addition to the tuition fee, candidates must account for other charges totalling approximately Rs. 3,04,500 (including caution money of Rs. 3 Lakh which is refundable, plus non-refundable charges of Rs. 58,500). The monthly stipend of Rs. 56,100 (Rs. 6.73 Lakh per year) partially offsets the annual fee burden.
Ques. What are the career prospects after completing MD Radiodiagnosis from SGT University?
Ans. MD Radiodiagnosis from an NMC-recognised institution like SGT University opens up excellent career opportunities. Graduates can work as consultant radiologists in hospitals, diagnostic centres, and imaging labs across India and abroad.
