AIIMS Bilaspur offers MS ENT as a full-time postgraduate surgical degree specialising in otorhinolaryngology. Over the course of 3 years, trainees receive exposure to both clinical and surgical management of ENT/head & neck conditions. They attend outpatient departments (OPD), emergency, and inpatient settings; perform diagnostic evaluations (e.g. audiology, endoscopy), and assist/lead surgical procedures. The training includes anatomy, pathology, clinical reasoning, operative skills, postoperative care, and often interdisciplinary cooperation (e.g. with radiology, anaesthesia). Admissions are competitive—only a few seats are available. For example, the AIIMS Bilaspur seat matrix for MS ENT indicates 2 seats total in the ENT department. The curriculum aligns with INI-CET / AIIMS norms, ensuring standardisation in evaluation, clinical exposure, and academic rigour.
