Cutoffs / Closing Ranks
Cutoffs vary by category (General, OBC, SC, ST) and by quota (All India, State quota) and from round to round. Below are typical recent (2024 / 2025) cutoffs as indicative benchmarks.

For OBC, SC, ST categories, the closing ranks vary widely (OBC ~ 17,411 AIQ; SC / ST ranks much higher)

MD / MS closing ranks in 2024: for MD general medicine, pathology, etc., ranks in tens of thousands (e.g. pathology ~ 29,700)
For competitive branches like Dermatology, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, cutoffs are steep (e.g. OBG general ~ 8,136 rank)
Cutoffs also differ in state quota vs All India / open categories
These cutoffs should be taken as indicative; actual cutoffs in 2025 may shift.
Placements & Career Opportunities
As a medical college, “placements” are less about corporate recruitment and more about clinical practice, government postings, academic / hospital appointments, specialist practice, etc. Information specific to placement (salary packages) is limited in publicly available sources.
HIMS provides clinical exposure via its hospital, which helps graduates in securing internship, residency, fellowships, and practice opportunities.
There is limited data about average or highest salary / stipend placements in non-clinical roles. Some sources mention “highest package ~ INR 1 lakh” but this is not a standard metric for medical education.
Many MBBS / PG graduates from HIMS may take government medical officer positions, join hospitals (public or private), pursue super-specialization or academia.
Because the nature of medical education and careers differs from typical engineering / management placements, “placement statistics” are often not a key metric for medical colleges.
Ranking & Reputation
In some listings, HIMS Hassan has been ranked ~ 215 at all-India level and ~ 14 in Karnataka among medical colleges.
In another source, it is said to have NIRF ranking ~ 191 nationally, and rank ~ 13 in Karnataka.
It has recognition, established track record, affiliation to RGUHS, and enjoys a decent reputation in Karnataka’s medical education sphere.
