One society.
Every discipline, one campus city.

The Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes is one of the most comprehensive multidisciplinary education clusters in the Karjat Taluka of District Raigad, Maharashtra. Established under the banner of the Saraswati Education Society (SES) - a public charitable trust founded on 10 October 2003 by its Chairman and Founder Dr. Nandkumar Yadavrao Tasgaonkar (M.D. Radiology) - the group has grown, true to its motto "Shaping Minds, Transforming Futures. Since 2003", into a family of eleven institutions spread across three green campuses at Chandhai, Diksal and Vadavli. For students and parents searching for medical, engineering, pharmacy, nursing, Ayurveda, physiotherapy, polytechnic, management or school education near Mumbai and Pune, this single destination brings nearly every major discipline together on one welcoming, residential, nature-rich corridor.

What makes the Tasgaonkar Group distinctive is breadth combined with continuity. From a child entering the Yadavrao Tasgaonkar Public School and Junior College, to a young adult pursuing a Diploma in Engineering, a B.Pharm, a B.E., a B.Sc Nursing, a Bachelor of Physiotherapy, a BAMS in Ayurveda, or the flagship MBBS at the Dr. N. Y. Tasgaonkar Institute of Medical Science, and onward to postgraduate MD/MS, M.E. or MMS study, the group offers an academic ladder that can support a learner for almost their entire educational journey. Twelve distinct programs are delivered across these eleven institutions, supported by two teaching hospitals and a living, breathing campus ecosystem.

Location is a deliberate part of the philosophy. The campuses sit in Karjat, Raigad - PIN 410201 - close to and effectively opposite the Bhivpuri Road railway station, on the well-connected Mumbai-Pune corridor. This gives students the rare advantage of a calm, green, low-distraction setting for focused study while remaining reachable from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Panvel and Pune by road and the Central Railway local and express network. The combination of clean air, open space, residential hostels and serious academic infrastructure is exactly what families look for when they want a safe, immersive environment for a multi-year professional course.

Every program in the group is delivered with the appropriate statutory approvals and university affiliations - names you will recognise such as the National Medical Commission (NMC), the Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS) in Nashik, the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM), the Indian Nursing Council (INC), the Pharmacy Council of India (PCI), the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE) Maharashtra, the Maharashtra State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE), the University of Mumbai, and the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC). This long-form guide walks through each institution, the programs it offers, who it suits, how admission works, the entrance examinations and counselling routes involved, fees and scholarship governance, campus life, and the most commonly asked questions - so you can decide with confidence.

The expansive campus and INC recognition make it a dependable route into a respected, in-demand healthcare role.

9. YTIP Degree - Yadavrao Tasgaonkar Institute of Pharmacy (Degree)

Established in 2003 - among the founding institutions of the group - YTIP Degree offers the Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm).

11. YTPS - Yadavrao Tasgaonkar Public School and Junior College

YTPS, established in 2003, is the school and junior college of the group, completing the educational ladder from the early years through senior secondary study. It provides a structured foundation in academics, values and co-curricular development on the same campus environment that supports the professional colleges, helping young learners grow within a setting designed for discipline, safety and holistic growth.

YTPS suits families who want quality schooling within a larger education ecosystem - one where a student can progress from school and junior college toward professional courses in medicine, engineering, pharmacy, nursing and beyond without leaving the trusted Tasgaonkar fold. The continuity from school to higher and professional education under one society is a genuine advantage for long-term planning.

Approvals and affiliations explained

Professional education in India is governed by statutory councils and universities that protect standards and ensure your degree or diploma is valid for registration, practice and further study. Understanding these bodies helps you evaluate any college objectively. The table below lists each approval and affiliation associated with the Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes, the full form, and what it governs.

When you see that a Tasgaonkar college carries the relevant council approval and a recognised university affiliation - for example NMC and MUHS for MBBS, INC and MUHS for B.Sc Nursing, PCI and University of Mumbai for B.Pharm, or AICTE, DTE and University of Mumbai with NAAC accreditation for engineering - you can be assured the qualification is legitimate, examinable through a proper university and valid for professional registration and onward study.

Location and connectivity

The Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes is located in Karjat Taluka, District Raigad, Maharashtra, at PIN 410201, near and effectively opposite the Bhivpuri Road railway station - a position squarely on the Mumbai-Pune corridor. Three green campuses at Chandhai, Diksal and Vadavli host the eleven institutions, offering a spread-out, nature-rich setting that is increasingly rare for professional colleges so close to a major metropolitan belt.

Connectivity is a practical strength. The campuses are reachable from Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Panvel and Pune by road and by the Central Railway local and express services that serve the Karjat and Bhivpuri Road stations. For students commuting from the Mumbai-Navi Mumbai-Panvel side, the rail link is direct and dependable; for those from the Pune side, the corridor and expressway access keep the campus within comfortable reach for weekend travel and family visits. This balance - quiet enough to study, connected enough to never feel cut off - is one of the most appreciated features of studying here.

A green, residential campus matters more than many applicants first realise. Professional courses such as MBBS, BAMS, B.E., B.Pharm and B.Sc Nursing run for several years and demand sustained focus, long study hours, lab and clinical work, and a supportive peer environment. The clean air, open spaces and calm of the Karjat hills, combined with on-campus hostels and facilities, reduce daily commuting stress, encourage healthy routines and create the kind of immersive, distraction-light atmosphere in which serious learning thrives. For parents, the safety and self-contained nature of a residential campus near a well-known town is a strong reassurance.

Campus life, hostels and facilities

Life at the Tasgaonkar campuses is built around two ideas: academic infrastructure that supports demanding professional programs, and a residential community that helps students feel at home through multi-year courses. The colleges are equipped with subject-specific laboratories - from anatomy, physiology and pathology labs for medical and health-science students, to pharmaceutics and pharmacology labs for pharmacy students, to engineering workshops and computing facilities for technical programs, and skill and simulation areas for nursing learners. Central libraries provide access to textbooks, reference works, journals and digital resources that underpin coursework and exam preparation.

Beyond academics, campus life includes sports and physical activity, cultural events, festivals and student-led initiatives that build teamwork, leadership and confidence. This blend of study and student life is essential for well-rounded growth and for the kind of memorable college experience that students carry with them. Hostels for both boys and girls allow students from across Maharashtra and other states to live on or near campus, with the security, routine and community that residential living provides - particularly valuable for first-time-away-from-home students in long professional courses.

The two teaching hospitals are a defining feature of the health-sciences ecosystem. The Raigad Hospital and Research Centre (RHRC) - a 400-bed hospital with 19 departments and 6 major operation theatres - serves as the clinical training ground for MBBS, MD/MS, physiotherapy and nursing students, ensuring high and varied patient exposure. The Jeevak Ayurved Rugnalay provides clinical training for BAMS students in Ayurvedic and integrative care. Having teaching hospitals on the same campus means students learn medicine, physiotherapy, nursing and Ayurveda where real patients are treated, which is exactly the kind of hands-on grounding that distinguishes confident, practice-ready graduates.

Admissions overview

Admission to the Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes follows the standard Maharashtra entrance and counselling framework for each discipline. Most professional programs are merit-based, filled through state Common Admission Process (CAP) rounds and the relevant counselling authorities, with eligibility determined by the appropriate entrance examination. The table below maps each discipline to its entrance exam and counselling route so you can plan your application calendar.

Across all routes, the key admission authorities you will interact with are the Maharashtra CET Cell (which conducts MHT-CET and related state entrance tests and manages CAP), the Admission Regulating Authority (ARA), and the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), which runs CAP rounds for technical, pharmacy and management seats. For medical and AYUSH programs, NEET-UG and NEET-PG scores feed into state and central counselling under NMC, NCISM and MUHS norms. Applicants should track official notification dates closely, complete document verification on time, and fill CAP preference lists carefully to maximise their chances at their preferred Tasgaonkar college.

Scholarships and fees

Fees for the professional programs at the Doctor N Y Tasgaonkar Group of Institutes are governed by the Fees Regulating Authority (FRA), Maharashtra, together with the relevant statutory bodies for each discipline. This regulatory oversight is an important safeguard: it means tuition fees for regulated courses are reviewed and approved by an independent authority rather than set arbitrarily, giving students and parents a transparent, rules-based fee structure. Because approved fees are notified through official channels each academic year and can vary by program and category, prospective applicants should confirm the current, exact figures directly with the institute's admission office and the official FRA notifications rather than relying on informal estimates.

A wide range of merit-based and government scholarship schemes can substantially reduce the net cost of study for eligible students. These include support under categories such as EBC (Economically Backward Class), SC/ST/OBC (Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe and Other Backward Classes), EWS (Economically Weaker Section) and TFWS (Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme), along with various central and Maharashtra state government scholarships and freeships for which students may qualify based on income, category and academic performance. Merit scholarships can also reward strong entrance and academic results.

• EBC concessions for economically backward students who meet income criteria.
• SC, ST and OBC scholarships and freeships under applicable government schemes.
• EWS benefits for eligible economically weaker section candidates.
• TFWS (Tuition Fee Waiver Scheme) seats for qualifying meritorious students from eligible families.
• State and central government post-matric scholarships based on income and category.
• Merit-based recognition for high-performing students in entrance examinations and academics.

The group's admission counsellors and scholarship support teams help students identify the schemes they are eligible for, understand the documentation required, and complete applications through the appropriate government portals during the admission cycle. This guidance is genuinely valuable, because many students miss out on benefits simply due to incomplete paperwork or missed deadlines. Speaking to a counsellor early - ideally at the time of counselling and seat allotment - ensures you make the most of every scholarship and fee-concession opportunity available to you.
