IIT Bombay requires a medical fitness certificate from all new students (B.Tech, M.Tech, PhD) and faculty as part of the joining/admission documentation. You can get a valid NMC-registered doctor's certificate online in 30 minutes for ₹699 — without visiting a hospital.
Why IIT Bombay Requires a Fitness Certificate
IIT Bombay's Dean of Students Affairs office and the hospital on campus require a fitness certificate at the time of admission/joining for the following reasons:
- Hostel allocation: IIT Bombay hostels require health clearance before assigning accommodation to new students.
- Sports and gym access: The Sports Activity Centre (SAC) requires a fitness clearance for gym and sports facility registration.
- Group health insurance: IIT Bombay enrolls students in a group medical insurance scheme. A fitness certificate at joining is part of enrolment documentation.
- Faculty/staff joining: New faculty members and project staff joining IIT Bombay HR require a fitness certificate as part of standard onboarding.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does IIT Bombay accept online medical fitness certificates?
Yes. Certificates issued by NMC-registered MBBS/MD doctors via telemedicine are valid under the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020. IIT Bombay's admission office accepts certificates from registered doctors regardless of whether the consultation was in-person or online, provided the certificate contains the doctor's NMC registration number.
Can I submit this certificate for IIT Bombay hostel allocation?
Yes. The certificate is a general fitness declaration from an NMC-registered doctor, which satisfies the hostel allocation requirement. If your hostel warden specifically asks for a certificate from IIT Bombay's on-campus hospital, visit the campus health centre after arrival with your existing certificate as a supporting document.

Our fitness certificates are valid for 6 months from the date of issue. If your IIT Bombay joining date is within 6 months, you can apply now. If your date is more than 6 months away, apply closer to joining.
