PGIHA - Admission 2025, Fees, Courses, Placement, Ranking

Post Graduate Institute of Hospital Administration (PGIHA), Kolkata Established in December 2006 is a world-class institute in Kolkata that imparts specialized education in hospital management and healthcare. It operates under the umbrella of the B.K. Roy Foundation and is situated in the Peerless Hospital campus, granting students firsthand access to actual hospital functioning as well as practical training. PGIHA was the very first institution in eastern India to provide specialized hospital management programs.

The institution is partnered with the Maulana Abul Kalam Azad University of Technology (MAKAUT), previously West Bengal University of Technology. All its academic programs are MAKAUT-approved, thus meeting standardized educational standards.

PGIHA offers two key programs: a four-year Bachelor in Hospital Management (BHM) and a two-year Master in Hospital Administration (MHA). Admission to the BHM program requires completion of 10+2 and success in the Common Entrance Test (CET) by MAKAUT. MHA aspirants must hold a three-year bachelor’s degree and qualify through JEMAT, also conducted by MAKAUT.

The institute emphasizes practical, hospital-oriented training, leveraging its location within an operational hospital to provide students with hands-on experience. Facilities include air-conditioned classrooms, a well-equipped library with national and international journals, and internet access. This integration of academic learning with real-world healthcare operations prepares graduates for effective management roles in the healthcare sector.
