Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Master Diploma in Hospital Administration?
The Master Diploma in Hospital Administration at TMS is Stage III of the 18-month TTMSTR Council certification pathway. It covers strategic administration, AI in Healthcare, healthcare leadership, a research project with viva, and an extended live hospital internship. It is the highest professional certification available in hospital administration — positioning graduates for senior administrator, operations head, and CEO-track roles.
Do I need to complete the Diploma and PG Diploma first?
Yes. The Master Diploma is Stage III — it builds directly on the foundation of the 6-month Diploma (Stage I) and the 12-month PG Diploma (Stage II). However, students may exit at the end of Stage I with their Diploma certificate or at Stage II with their PG Diploma certificate, without continuing to the Master Diploma.
Is a Master Diploma better than an MBA in Hospital Management?
For practical hospital careers in Kerala and the GCC, the TMS Master Diploma offers several advantages: 18 months vs 2 years, a fraction of MBA fees, live Hinall HMS software training that no MBA provides, guaranteed internship in named hospitals, and 100% placement assurance. MBA holders rarely have hands-on HMS experience — TMS Master Diploma graduates do from day one.
What is the TTMSTR Council and is it recognised?
The TTMSTR Council Trust is a registered educational trust (Reg. No. 377/IV/2024) that acts as TMS's parent body and awarding authority for professional skill certifications. It sets curriculum standards, validates assessments, and issues the Diploma, PG Diploma, and Master Diploma credentials. TMS graduates also receive the UGC-approved university skill course credential — two independent certificates together on one CV.
What hospitals do Master Diploma graduates get placed in?
TMS has placed 500+ graduates in hospitals including Aster Medcity, Rajagiri Hospital, VPS Lakeshore, KIMS, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Ernakulam Medical Centre, and GCC healthcare facilities. Master Diploma graduates, with their extended internship and senior-level training, are targeted for managerial and leadership roles in these institutions.
