* Estimated duty hours: drawn from other residents at the college or speciality, not this department. “—” means not reported. Stipend bands are survey reports, not official quotes.

How this is calculated · methodology & source context

Source: The Nachiket Bhatia Show, Resident-Rated Department Toxicity Index. The source reports 2,912 responses, with 2,395 used in department scores, across 516 colleges and 146 hospitals / DNB sites. Data through 6 October 2026. Department-level counts are not provided.

Resident-reported score = 100 − (weighted mean × 10). Each domain is rated out of 10, with 10 indicating a more positive experience. The source uses these weights:

Environment
15%
Hands-on experience
15%
Academics
12%
Faculty
12%
Senior-resident experience
12%
Work-life balance
12%
Mental health

Stipend paid on time
5%
Safety
5%

Scores reproduce the source; they are not independently verified institutional assessments. Source verdicts and recommendation percentages are withheld because department response counts are unavailable. No department-level count is inferred from rounded averages. Scores use unrounded source ratings; displayed domain averages are rounded.

Duty-hour values marked Estimated come from other residents at the college or, if unavailable, the same speciality elsewhere. They are not responses from that department. Sorting uses the order of the reported hour bands, not invented exact hour totals.

The source says institution-name variants were reconciled and near-identical repeat submissions within an hour counted once. RankGood has not independently verified those findings or merged additional institutions. Speciality filters group only the explicit MD/MS, DNB and Diploma suffixes; each department's original label stays visible.

The report lists Tele-MANAS for mental-health support: 14416.

Corrections, replies and removal requests

Residents, departments and institutions can request a correction, submit a reply or request removal. Include the institution, speciality, disputed entry and supporting information. Choose “Request” and mention “Resident report review”. Do not send resident identities or confidential documents. We review requests; submission does not imply automatic removal or a guaranteed response time.

This dated third-party survey does not establish misconduct, patient safety, accreditation or the quality of an entire institution. Read it alongside current department information and independent sources.
