A J Institute of Medical Science is equipped with campus management software[1] for automation of workflow processes and has thus enhanced communication and user experience for the students, faculty and parents as well.

A 2020 pandemic controversy highlighted that the college was withholding the full stipend for the post-graduate doctors. While the administration denied any discrepancy, evidence of doctors working under-risk conditions without full payment came up.[2]
