Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. RML Hospital (ABVIMS & Dr. RML Hospital), New Delhi have a traditional "placement cell" like engineering or management colleges, as it's a government medical institution. There are formal campus recruitment drives for private sector jobs. Instead, career progression relies on clinical training, mandatory internships, postgraduate entrances (NEET-PG/SS), residencies, and government/private hospital opportunities. The attached Dr. RML Hospital (1,500+ beds) provides excellent hands-on exposure, leading to strong employability.
