MS in ENT ( Ear, Nose, and Throat ) or Otorhinolaryngology ( Head and Neck Surgery ) purpose is to standardize Otorhinolaryngology teaching at Post Graduate level across the country. This will help in achieving uniformity in undergraduate teaching as well and resultantly creating competent ENT Surgeons with appropriate expertise.

It involves the diagnosis and treatment of ear, nose, throat, and head and neck disorders.

M.Sc. in ENT or Otorhinolaryngology is a postgraduate specialty focusing on diseases and surgeries related to the ear, nose, and throat. Though MD/MS in ENT is the more commonly pursued degree, M.Sc. ENT is offered by select institutions as a non-clinical, academic-focused program or as a super-specialization for professionals with a paramedical or allied health background.
