The primary objective electives policy is to allow students opportunities to select, direct and organize a placement during their undergraduate training responsive to individualized needs and/or interests. RLKU Medical College offers elective rotations to its students during the summer & winter breaks. They are encouraged to utilize the holiday breaks in choice of their clinical specialty to develop future clinical career directions. Research oriented electives are offered by all teaching departments of RLKUMC. After clearing their 3rd Professional exam of academic session, interested students do their elective program planning in consultation with Heads of the Departments they are interested to take up electives in. Other than that, the students with good academics and research record can opt for electives both nationally and internationally at medical universities recognized by PMDC/ HEC.
