Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Teaching Hospital and Research Centre is a private medical institution located in Hyderabad, Telangana. It offers undergraduate medical education leading to the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) degree, along with postgraduate programmes in select clinical and non-clinical specialities. The institution functions as an integrated campus combining a medical college with an attached teaching hospital, enabling students to receive clinical exposure alongside their academic training. It is affiliated to Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences (KNRUHS), Warangal, which is the nodal university for health sciences institutions in Telangana, and is recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the apex regulatory body for medical education in India.
The institution is part of the broader expansion of private medical education in Telangana and the greater Hyderabad region, which has emerged as a significant hub for health sciences education in South India. Hyderabad hosts a considerable number of medical colleges, both government and private, drawing students from across India and from neighbouring countries. Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences was established to serve the growing demand for trained medical professionals and to provide clinical services to the surrounding population through its attached hospital.
The college is managed under the Shadan Educational Society, which also oversees other educational institutions in the region. The name "Shadan" is associated with the broader group of institutions run by the same management trust in Hyderabad.
The primary undergraduate programme offered is the MBBS degree, which follows the curriculum prescribed by the National Medical Commission. The MBBS programme spans four and a half years of academic and clinical study, followed by a compulsory rotating internship of one year. The curriculum covers pre-clinical, para-clinical, and clinical subjects in a phased structure as mandated by the Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) framework introduced by the NMC.
Postgraduate medical education is offered in select departments, leading to the Doctor of Medicine (MD) or Master of Surgery (MS) degree. Admissions to both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes are governed by the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA) on behalf of the central government.
The attached teaching hospital serves as the primary site for clinical training of medical students and postgraduate residents. The hospital provides outpatient, inpatient, emergency, and surgical services across multiple departments including general medicine, general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, ophthalmology, and ear, nose and throat (ENT), among others. Diagnostic services including radiology, pathology, and microbiology laboratories support both patient care and student training.
Clinical postings form a structured component of the MBBS curriculum, with students rotating through various departments to gain hands-on experience under the supervision of faculty and senior residents.
The campus houses lecture halls, dissection halls, laboratory spaces, a library, and hostel accommodation for students. The library maintains a collection of medical textbooks, journals, and digital resources to support academic study and research activities. Separate hostel facilities are generally available for male and female students. The campus is located within the Hyderabad metropolitan area, providing students with access to the city's broader infrastructure and transport network.
Admission to the MBBS programme is conducted through the centralised NEET-UG counselling process managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for All India Quota seats, and by the Telangana State Medical Counselling authority for state quota seats. Candidates must fulfil the eligibility criteria set by the NMC, including minimum age requirements and qualifying marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology at the higher secondary level.
Students at Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences participate in academic and extracurricular activities including cultural events, sports, and medical awareness programmes. Student associations and departmental clubs provide platforms for professional development and peer engagement. The institution's location in Hyderabad allows students to access the city's cultural, recreational, and professional resources during their course of study.
