MCh Plastic Surgery is positioned after postgraduate surgical education.
Applicants enter the program after completing MS General Surgery rather than directly after MBBS. The academic pathway therefore progresses from undergraduate medical education to postgraduate surgical training and then to higher-specialty Plastic Surgery.
MMC includes Plastic Surgery as a separate academic department within its surgical structure. Other related departments include General Surgery, Neurosurgery, Orthopedics, Cardiothoracic & Vascular Surgery, Surgical Gastroenterology, Urology & Kidney Transplant Surgery, Anaesthesiology, Critical Care Medicine, Emergency Medicine, and Radiology.
Eligibility: Applicants must hold MS General Surgery from Tribhuvan University or an equivalent degree recognized by Tribhuvan University.
Professional registration is also required. The stated eligibility requires registration with the Nepal Medical Council for the candidate's MBBS and MD/MS qualifications.
The academic and professional requirements therefore include:
An MBBS qualification alone does not meet the stated academic entry requirement.
Candidates must pass the entrance examination applicable to DM/MCh higher-specialty programs.
The selection criteria require applicants to secure at least 50% in the entrance examination. Admission is then made on a merit basis.
The stated examination duration for MCh Plastic Surgery is two hours.
The admission process operates within the higher-specialty medical education framework connected with the Medical Education Commission.
Seat allocation is intake-specific and should not be treated as a permanently fixed course characteristic.
A candidate who has a government or non-government service bond from a previous academic program must complete the applicable bond period before appearing in the DM/MCh entrance examination.
This requirement forms part of the higher-specialty selection criteria for candidates whose earlier medical education carried a service obligation.
Completion of the previous bond is therefore relevant to entrance eligibility where such an obligation exists.
Passing the entrance examination is one stage of the admission process.
Candidates must obtain at least 50% and are then considered according to merit.
Meeting the academic qualification alone does not confirm admission, and obtaining the minimum entrance score does not by itself establish institutional placement.
Plastic Surgery is an established academic department at Maharajgunj Medical Campus.
MMC's higher-specialty surgical portfolio includes:
This places Plastic Surgery within a broader higher-specialty surgical academic structure under the Institute of Medicine.
MS General Surgery and MCh Plastic Surgery represent different stages of surgical education.
MS General Surgery is the postgraduate qualification required for entry, while MCh Plastic Surgery is the subsequent higher-specialty pathway.
Candidates therefore need to complete the prescribed postgraduate surgical qualification before entering the MCh admission process.
Professional Registration: Nepal Medical Council registration forms part of the eligibility requirements.
The course-specific eligibility requires candidates to be registered with the NMC for their MBBS and MD/MS qualifications.
Academic eligibility, professional registration, entrance qualification, and merit-based admission operate as separate requirements.
