Hello,

HIMS (Hassan Institute of Medical Sciences), like most medical colleges in India, officially prohibits ragging as it is illegal under the guidelines set by the Medical Council of India (MCI) and other regulatory bodies. The institution likely has strict anti-ragging policies in place, and students can report any incidents anonymously. However, it is always advisable for new students to stay vigilant and understand their rights.

Regarding the "4 batches of 150 students," this refers to the intake of medical students at HIMS across four years of the MBBS program. Each year or batch admits 150 students, and these students progress through their academic years in sequence. Thus, at any given time, the college hosts four different batches of students.

As for hostel amenities in the girls' hostel, it is common for medical colleges to provide basic facilities. HIMS offers geysers for hot water. However, washing machines may or may not be provided, and students might need to rely on laundry services or hand washing. The cost of staying in the hostel, including mess and accommodation, typically ranges from Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 50,000 per year, though it may vary slightly depending on room type and additional amenities.

Hope it helps !
