Welcome to HITEC‑IMS MedExpo 2026

The Student Research Society (SRS), HITEC Institute of Medical Sciences, invites students from Medical, Dental, Nursing, and Allied Health Sciences institutions to participate in MedExpo 2026 — a one‑day celebration of student research and clinical reasoning, built around the theme of advancing healthcare through knowledge, research, and innovation.

The expo brings together oral and poster presentation competitions with a live clinical problem‑solving challenge, giving students from across the country a platform to present original research, sharpen diagnostic reasoning, and compete for recognition and cash prizes.

Three ways to compete

Register for one or take on all three — each highlight tests a different research and clinical skill.

01

Oral Presentation

Present your research live to a panel of judges in a 6‑minute timed session, followed by a Q&A round.

Competition
02

Poster Presentation

03

Clinical Diagnosis Challenge
