RMU Rawalpindi invites doctors for 8 diplomas and 2 certificates in 2027-28. Apply by 19 November with a Rs 2,500 draft. See fees, eligibility and the steps.
Rawalpindi Medical University (RMU) is taking applications from doctors for eight two-year diplomas and two six-month certificate courses for session 2027-28. Forms must reach RMU by 19 November 2026, 2 pm, with a Rs 2,500 bank draft. Course fees run from Rs 100,000 to Rs 300,000. You need an MBBS recognised by PMDC, a one-year house job and a valid PMDC registration.
These are paper applications, not an online portal. You download the form for your diploma from the RMU website, fill it, and send it by post or by hand to the Medical Education department on Tipu Road. No stipend is paid during training, which matters more than the course fee for most doctors.
