How to apply

  1. Check the course schedule and NIM's seat allotment, cancellation and refund terms (Terms & Conditions on nimindia.net).
  2. Apply online at nimindia.net and pay the full fee online or by bank draft — part payment isn't accepted.
  3. Download NIM's indemnity bond, fill it in, sign it and upload a scan with your application.
  4. Seats are allotted first come, first served; if a course is full you're offered the next one.
  5. Arrive the evening before the course starts — late arrivals, even by one day, can't join.

Documents

  • Signed indemnity bond (scanned and uploaded with the application)
  • NIM medical form, filled in and verified by a practising MBBS doctor, handed in when you report
  • Insurance: compulsory; NIM insures Indian trainees for an extra Rs 850 (Rs 3 lakh cover) or Rs 1,200 (Rs 5 lakh cover). Foreign trainees bring their own adventure cover.
  • Foreign nationals: passport and valid visa when reporting

Rules to know

  • The fee includes food, accommodation, equipment, transport, medicines and training during the course.
  • You can't repeat a course you've already done at NIM, even with a 'B' grade.
  • Serving armed forces, paramilitary and NCC personnel apply through their service headquarters (or as private trainees).
  • Before going into the mountains NIM tests fitness with a 10 km walk carrying 15 kg; only those who pass continue on BMC/AMC.
