Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Science

Indira Gandhi Institute of Medical Sciences (IGIMS), located in Sheikhpura, Patna, is one of Bihar’s most prestigious autonomous medical institutions. Established in 1983 by the Government of Bihar, IGIMS was modeled on the lines of AIIMS New Delhi, aiming to provide super-specialty medical care, advanced education, and impactful research.

Recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and affiliated with the Bihar University of Health Sciences (BUHS), IGIMS offers MBBS, MD, MS, DM, MCh, and paramedical courses. It stands out not just for undergraduate education but also as a leading center for postgraduate and super-specialty medical training.

The institution is backed by a state-of-the-art multi-specialty hospital, which acts as both a treatment hub for patients from across Bihar and a dynamic clinical training ground for students. With advanced diagnostic services, modern ICUs, oncology care, and transplant units, IGIMS has earned its reputation as a healthcare leader in Eastern India.
