What College of Medical Sciences Bharatpur does

College of Medical Sciences (COMS), headquartered in Bharatpur, Chitwan, Nepal, is a private medical college and tertiary-care teaching hospital established in 1993 under the International Society for Medical Education Pvt. Ltd. (ISME Pvt. Ltd.) and operated by Indian management led by Chairman & CEO Nagender K. Pampati and Director Dr. V. Natraj Prasad. The institution is affiliated with Kathmandu University and accredited by Nepal Medical Council, GMC UK, Medical Council of India, Sri Lanka Medical Council, ECFMG, Medical Board of California, FAIMER, and the WHO World Directory of Medical Schools, enabling cross-border graduate practice rights.

The academic portfolio spans undergraduate programmes (MBBS with 100 seats annually of which 50% are reserved for foreign students, BDS with 50 seats, B.Sc. Nursing, B.M.L.T., and a new Bachelor in Yogic Sciences/Health Informatics), postgraduate MD/MS in basic and clinical medical sciences, M.Sc. programmes, and super-specialty DM/M.Ch degrees across Cardiology, Neurology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology, CTVS, Urology, GI Surgery, and Neurosurgery. The attached 800+ bed teaching hospital — featuring ICU, NICU, PICU, casualty/emergency, 3 Tesla MRI, 160-slice CT, a cardiac catheterization lab, dedicated neurosurgery OT with Moller Weidel ICG microscope, and a 10-machine hemodialysis unit — provides clinical training and direct patient care, with documented firsts including the first open heart surgery outside Kathmandu (2014) and the first kidney transplantation outside Kathmandu Valley (2015). The peer-reviewed JCMS-Nepal journal (NepJOL and Google Scholar indexed) is published quarterly.

The business model is dual-revenue: (1) tuition and fees from medical programmes, with international MBBS students paying approximately 58-65 Lakh NPR total over 5.5 years; and (2) fee-for-service revenue from the multi-specialty teaching hospital. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the college website, WhatsApp, social media advertising (Google/Meta/TikTok), and education fairs, with admissions for Nepali citizens routed through Kathmandu University entrance examinations and 20% of seats allocated via government nomination. Customer segments split between medical students (primarily Nepal, India, Sri Lanka and SAARC region) and patients (Nepal-wide and cross-border from India).
