The Institute of Medicine (IOM) started Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) programme in 1978. The course is community oriented and problem based.

In the Department of ENT-HNS, MBBS students are involved in the teaching learning activities as much as possible. Prior to recent revision of curriculum students used to have clinical posting in the ENTDepartments 4 weeks in 4th year and as a junior intern for 2 weeks in the final year. They used to appear in exit exams at the end of 5th year and then 2 weeks internship after final exam.

From 2009, the 29th  batch they are having only 4 weeks posting in the Department during 4th year (3rd phase) and they appear in final exams at the end of 4th year. However,the distribution of marks in theory and practical exams is still same as before ie. 50 marks each. Duration of Internship is also same.

Actually, after the ward round the students are taught by the one of faculties about the history taking and ENT examination for the first four days. From the 5th day onward they are divided into two groups. One group attend OPD whereas another group works up case in the ward and present infront of  the faculty. They also attend operation theatre for 4 days during their posting, once a week in each unit of the Department. Similarly, students also attend Audiology and Speech Pathology unit every Friday after the ward round.
