Manipal Tata Medical College (MTMC) Jamshedpur, is the first private-private partnership initiative in health sciences. A collaborative venture between the Manipal Institute of Higher Education (MAHE) and Tata Steel, the college is located at Baridih, Jamshedpur, in the east Indian state of Jharkhand.
In 1953, Dr T M A Pai founded the Kasturba Medical College on a barren hill on the outskirts of the town of Udupi in Karnataka, India. In the subsequent years many other academic institutions followed, and this vibrant campus developed into the town of Manipal. All these institutions were brought under the umbrella of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) that became deemed to be University in 1993.
Today, MAHE is synonymous with excellence in higher education. Over 30,000 students from 65+ different nations live, learn, and play in the sprawling University town nestled on a plateau. It also has nearly 2,500 faculty members and 10000+ support and service staff, who cater to the various professional institutions for Health Sciences, Engineering, Management, Communication and Humanities, which dot the WiFi-enabled campus.
The University has off-campuses in Mangalore and Bangalore, as well as off-shore campuses in Dubai (UAE) and Melaka (Malaysia). The Mangalore Campus offers medical, dental and allied health programmes. The Bangalore Campus offers programmes in regenerative medicine. The Dubai campus offers programmes in engineering, management and architecture, while the Melaka Campus offers programmes in medicine and dentistry. Every institute under MAHE Manipal has world-class facilities and pedagogy, which are constantly reviewed and upgraded to reflect the latest trends and developments in higher education.
It is an MBBS degree so there are no placements given to students. After MBBS, every doctor can practice either in their clinic or a private hospital or can even apply for government jobs.
