ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The DASA (Direct Admission Special Access) Medical PG Entrance Program offers an alternative pathway to conventional postgraduate medical entrance examinations such as NEET PG and INI CET. It is designed for admission to select postgraduate clinical programmes, including General Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Radiology, Dermatology, and other participating specialities.

Launched in 2026 as a public–private partnership, the programme brings together participating medical colleges and teaching hospitals under a unified admission framework. It is intended for capable candidates with strong academic and professional profiles who have not secured a postgraduate seat through previous entrance examinations. Applicants who qualify and meet the programme requirements may apply to participating institutions according to their eligibility and preferences.
