The verdict
Strong fit
If you've finished MD Medicine and want elite neurology training without massive fee baggage, this is peak value. NIRF #6 prestige, 100% placements, and an average CTC of ₹24 LPA against a total fee of ₹1.5 Lakh is unmatched. Just remember: only 4 seats exist, and NEET SS is notoriously competitive. Treat this as a high-reward target, not a backup.
