Pune, May 9, 2025 — For many aspiring doctors, gaining admission to the Armed Forces Medical College (AFMC) in Pune is a dream come true. However, this dream comes with a significant commitment: a mandatory 7-year service in the Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) and a ₹69 lakh bond agreement.

What Does the Bond Entail?
Upon admission, MBBS candidates at AFMC must sign a bond agreeing to serve as Commissioned Medical Officers in the AFMS for a minimum of seven years after graduation. The type of commission—Short Service Commission (SSC) or Permanent Commission (PC)—will be determined based on merit and available vacancies at the end of the course.
If a candidate withdraws from the college after seven days of admission or fails to fulfill the service commitment, they are liable to pay the full bond amount of ₹69 lakh as a penalty.
Exceptions to the Rule
Candidates declared Non-Service Liability (NSL) due to medical reasons beyond their control are exempted from the bond penalty. However, they are required to pay the cost of training, tuition fees, and other applicable charges from the date they are declared NSL.
Seat Allocation at AFMC
AFMC offers 150 MBBS seats annually:
- 115 for male candidates
- 30 for female candidates
- 5 for government-sponsored candidates from friendly foreign countries.
Voices from the Aspirants
“Joining AFMC is not just about pursuing medicine; it’s about serving the nation,” says Ananya Sharma, a NEET 2025 aspirant from Ranchi. “The bond is substantial, but the honor and experience of serving in the armed forces are unparalleled.”
Many students echo this sentiment, viewing the bond not as a constraint but as a commitment to a greater cause.
Final Thoughts
Choosing AFMC means embracing a path of discipline, service, and dedication. While the bond and service commitment are significant, they offer an opportunity to serve the nation and gain invaluable experience in the medical field.
