Located in the coastal city of Visakhapatnam, the NRI Institute of Medical Sciences (NRIIMS) is a private medical college established in 2012. Affiliated with Dr. Y.S.R. University of Health Sciences and recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the institution has become a significant choice for medical aspirants in Andhra Pradesh. While specific national rankings for 2025 are yet to be announced, its consistent academic record and modern hospital facilities maintain its strong regional reputation. The flagship program at NRIIMS is the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), with an annual intake of 250 students. Admission is exclusively based on NEET-UG scores, with seat allocation managed through state counselling conducted by Dr. YSRUHS. The college also offers postgraduate MD and MS degrees in various clinical and non-clinical specialities for those looking to pursue further specialisation. For the upcoming 2025 academic session, the annual tuition fee for the MBBS program under the management quota is expected to be approximately ₹12 lakhs, with different fee structures for convener and NRI quota seats. Upon completion of the 4.5-year academic term, MBBS students undertake a one-year compulsory rotating residential internship (CRRI) at the college's associated 1280-bed teaching hospital. During this period, interns gain practical experience and are provided a monthly stipend. Following the internship, graduates typically either begin preparing for postgraduate entrance exams like NEET-PG or join various healthcare establishments as medical officers.
