Kalinga Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Bhubaneswar, is a premier private medical institution and a constituent unit of Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) Deemed to be University — one of the fastest-growing deemed universities in India, NAAC A++ accredited and NIRF 2023 ranked 16th best university in India. Established in 2007 at Kusabhadra Campus, Patia, Bhubaneswar, KIMS combines the academic prestige and infrastructure of one of Odisha's most celebrated educational institutions with a 2,600-bed super-specialty hospital, making it one of the largest and most comprehensive private medical college-hospital complexes in eastern India. KIIT is globally recognized for its student welfare ethos — founded by Padma Shri Dr. Achyuta Samanta, the same visionary educator who established KISS (Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences), India's largest tribal residential school that provides free education to tribal children from Odisha. This philosophy of inclusive education, where excellence and compassion coexist, deeply informs KIMS's academic culture. KIMS graduates are trained not just as clinically competent physicians but as socially responsible doctors committed to community healthcare. The flagship hospital — Pradyumna Bal Memorial Hospital (PBMH) — is a 2,600-bed super-specialty hospital that serves as the primary clinical training ground for KIMS students. Named in memory of Pradyumna Bal (1947–1995), a prominent Odia politician and former Chief Minister of Odisha, PBMH provides high-quality and affordable healthcare across numerous specialties including Cardiology, Neurology, Neurosurgery, Nephrology, Oncology, Gastroenterology, Urology, Ophthalmology, and more. Additionally, a recently opened Super Specialty Hospital with 12 super-specialty departments further expands clinical training opportunities. With 2,600+ beds and KIIT's massive campus of 25,000+ students, PBMH has a consistently high patient volume, providing excellent clinical diversity for MBBS and PG trainees. KIMS offers MBBS with 250 annual seats and MD/MS with 105 seats across 20 disciplines. The campus is the Kusabhadra Campus within KIIT University, Patia — approximately 21 km from Biju Patnaik International Airport.
