MBBS rows are KEA's official CET-2024 cut-off publications for college code M010 — Round 2 of the general (government/state-quota) list and Round 2 of the separate private/NRI/Others list; in Round 1 the GM seat had closed at 38,521. KEA has not published a consolidated CET-2025 medical cutoff PDF at the URLs checked, so CET-2024 is the latest published UG cutoff. The private-list 'ranks' for management (Others, 13,69,069), minority (MU, 3,94,528) and NRI (10,41,680) tiers are closing positions in those paid tiers, not merit-GM cutoffs. MD/MS rows are NEET-PG 2025 All-India-Rank readings COMPUTED from KEA's five final allotment lists (code M31): for each course and quota the worst (last) allotted rank in the final round where that seat type appears — allotment-list readings, not an official KEA cutoff publication. AJIMS PG seats are KEA-counselled, not MCC-counselled: the college has no rows in any MCC NEET-PG 2025 allotment round (R1, R2, R3, stray — checked).

Infrastructure & facilities

Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities

AJIMS sits on a 30-acre campus at Kuntikana on NH-66 in Mangalore — the college's own campus page calls it 'the coastal paradise of Mangalore'. The library is a 5,000-square-metre complex with a 40-desktop computer lab for e-journal access. The campus page says about 650 hostel rooms are available, all double-occupancy with attached washrooms; the older NMC pro-forma details 480 rooms (240 men's + 240 women's, each 240 rooms x double occupancy including intern blocks) — both official figures are shown since they differ. The anchor is the on-campus teaching hospital, AJIMS Hospital — 940 beds per the hospital page (910 plus 30 emergency beds in the older pro-forma), with the NMC clinical-material disclosure for March 2026 recording 953 beds occupied at 81% occupancy, 55,532 OPD visits, 6,851 admissions and 3,622 operations in that single month. A food court with laundry and stationery counters and a floodlit sports ground (visible in the college's own campus imagery) complete the campus.

Research & rankings

Centres, patents, grants & MoU partners

A J Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre (AJIMS), Mangalore is a private medical college at Kuntikana on NH-66, established in 2002-03 by the Laxmi Memorial Education Trust of the A.J. Group of Companies, affiliated to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS) and recognised by the NMC (code KA/001/P/3). It is one of Mangalore's larger private MBBS intakes — 250 sanctioned seats (200 recognised + 50 NMC-permitted for AY 2025-26) — alongside 154 MD/MS and 14 DM/MCh seats. KEA's fee notification classifies it as a 'Minority (L,R)' — linguistic and religious minority — institution. The NMC pro-forma carries department-wise faculty publication lists (Pub Med/Scopus-indexed work across 2018-2024), and the college's homepage highlights a NABL-accredited BSL-2 PCR laboratory in the Department of Microbiology that ran COVID testing. The college publishes year-wise admitted-batch lists from 2012-13 onward and per-exam RGUHS result notices; its 27-row NMC archival record traces every course's seat-growth history — MD General Medicine 4→8→12→16 seats, MD Radio Diagnosis 8→15 in AY 2024-25, MCh Urology 1→4 — a steady quarter-century build-out. One disclosure worth knowing: the four DM/MCh courses (14 seats) are listed Recognized in the college's NMC papers, yet AJIMS has no row in the NMC Super-Speciality Seat Matrix of 02-04-2026 — super-speciality counselling availability should be confirmed directly. NIRF Medical rank: none is claimed — nirfindia.org could not be reached for verification (HTTP 504 on the 2024 and 2025 ranking pages) and aggregator claims are not used. NAAC: the college site displays no NAAC grade and none is asserted.

FAQ

A J Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Mangalore FAQs

What is the management quota fee for MBBS at A J Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalore?
The management (Others/Q category) MBBS tuition is Rs 40,11,950 per year in the KEA 2025-26 fee notification (college code M010) — and the NRI tier is notified at the SAME Rs 40,11,950, an unusual equality reproduced verbatim from the official PDF. The private/state-quota seat is Rs 12,00,117 per year and the government-quota seat Rs 1,53,571. Over the 4.5-year course, management tuition works out to roughly Rs 1.81 crore (computed, tuition only). KEA's note says fees include RGUHS registration; the college publishes no separate fee schedule.
What was the NEET cutoff for AJIMS Mangalore?
In KEA's CET-2024 Round 2 publication (code M010), the government/state-quota General Merit MBBS seat closed at NEET-UG rank 42,638 (Round 1: 38,521). Category closings in R2: GM-Rural 60,375, 2B 61,040, 3B 61,358, 3A 61,808, 1G 64,438, 2A 81,717, GM-Kannada 94,978, ST 1,72,484, SC 2,07,560. In the separate private-tier publication, the Open private seat closed at 62,531, minority (MU) at 3,94,528, NRI at 10,41,680 and the Others/management seat at 13,69,069. KEA has not published a consolidated CET-2025 cutoff PDF at the URLs checked, so CET-2024 is the latest published.
How many MBBS seats does A J Institute of Medical Sciences have?
250 sanctioned for AY 2025-26 — of which 200 are NMC-RECOGNIZED and the newest 50 are NMC-permitted under a Letter of Permission, not yet recognised. The NMC's UG seat matrix of 03.12.2025 shows the intake rising from 200 (AY 2024-25) to 250 (AY 2025-26). The college opened in 2002 with 100 seats and grew 100→150→200→250 over two decades per its NMC archival record.
Is there direct admission to MBBS at AJIMS Mangalore?
No. Every MBBS tier at this college — government, private, minority, management (Others) and NRI — is allotted through KEA's NEET-UG counselling under college code M010, and KEA's own CET-2024 publication shows closing ranks for each tier, including the management seat at 13,69,069. NEET qualification plus KEA eligibility (50% in PCB at 10+2; 40% for reserved Karnataka categories; 17 years of age by 31 December) is mandatory for every quota. Treat any agent promising a seat outside NEET/KEA with extreme caution.
Is A J Institute of Medical Sciences recognised by the NMC?
Yes — MBBS is Recognized for 200 seats (NMC code KA/001/P/3), and the college's own NMC disclosure lists all its MD/MS and DM/MCh courses as Recognized too. The newest 50 MBBS seats (taking the total to 250) are LOP-permitted for AY 2025-26 and await recognition — the normal lag when a mature college adds seats. The college's first Letter of Permission is dated 14.08.2002 (100 seats); RGUHS affiliation for 2025-26 is current vide RGU/MEDICAL/AFF/33/2025-26 dated 24/11/2025.
What are the PG (MD/MS) seats and fees at AJIMS Mangalore?
154 PG seats across 23 courses per the college's NMC disclosure — the largest being MD General Medicine 20, MD Anaesthesiology 16, MD Radio Diagnosis 15, MD Paediatrics 12 and MS General Surgery 12. KEA's PG fee notification 2025-26 (college code M31) tiers the tuition: pre-clinical Rs 1,11,015 (government) / Rs 1,87,668 (private) per year, para-clinical Rs 2,07,027 / Rs 3,58,253, and clinical Rs 7,83,108 / Rs 13,87,994. Management/NRI amounts are course-wise: Rs 75,15,000 per year for MS General Surgery or MS Ophthalmology, Rs 1,00,15,000 for MD Paediatrics/MS Orthopaedics/MS OBG/MD Respiratory Medicine, Rs 1,10,15,000 for MD General Medicine, Rs 1,25,15,000 for MD Radio Diagnosis and Rs 1,35,15,000 for MD Dermatology — all per year, per KEA's notification.
What NEET-PG rank do I need for MD/MS at A J Institute of Medical Sciences?
Computed from KEA's official NEET-PG 2025 final allotment lists (college code M31, all five rounds): the government-quota MD Dermatology seat went at All-India rank 6,460 and MD Radio Diagnosis at 8,022 (3B), while MS General Surgery closed at 14,596 (GM) and MD General Medicine at 63,340 (ST). In the private tier, MD General Medicine closed at 16,752 and MD Radio Diagnosis at 24,121 (both minority-MU seats in the mop-up). Management (MNG) seats ran much deeper — MD Paediatrics 1,30,428, MD General Medicine 1,98,661 and MD Radio Diagnosis 2,10,172 in the stray rounds. These are last-allotted ranks read from the official lists, not an official KEA cutoff publication.
Is AJIMS Mangalore a minority medical college?
KEA's 2025-26 medical fee notification classifies A J Institute of Medical Sciences as 'Minority (L,R)' — a linguistic-and-religious-minority institution — and KEA's private-round cutoff publication accordingly carries a minority (MU) column for it: the MU MBBS seat closed at NEET-UG rank 3,94,528 in CET-2024 R2, and several NEET-PG 2025 private-tier PG seats were allotted under MU. The minority classification is KEA's own; the college's site does not elaborate on it, so nothing beyond the KEA record is claimed.
Is A J Institute of Medical Sciences the same as A.J. Institute of Dental Sciences?
No — they are different colleges of the same Mangalore trust family. A J Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre (NMC code KA/001/P/3, KEA medical code M010) is the MBBS/MD/MS college this page covers. A.J. Institute of Dental Sciences is a separate BDS/dental college with its own KEA code, and the group also runs an engineering institute and allied-health colleges. Their fees, seats and cutoffs are different — nothing on this page applies to them.
How big is the teaching hospital at AJIMS Mangalore?
The college's hospital page describes AJIMS Hospital as a 940-bed hospital serving since 2003, with 300+ doctors, 1,000+ staff, six ICUs (MICU/SICU/CCU/PICU/NICU/EICU), a cath lab, dialysis and a blood bank. The older NMC pro-forma records 910 beds plus 30 emergency beds, and the NMC clinical-material disclosure for March 2026 shows 953 beds occupied against 1,179 required (81% occupancy) with 55,532 OPD visits that month — three official figures, all shown. Note: A.J. Hospital & Research Centre is the trust's separate super-specialty hospital in the city, distinct from this on-campus teaching hospital.
What internship stipend does AJIMS Mangalore pay MBBS interns?
Rs 10,000 per month, per the NMC's national Stipend Detail List (row 641, college response dated 06.11.2025). For contrast, Karnataka's government medical colleges pay their interns Rs 30,000 per month — the private-college rate here is a third of the state benchmark. The same NMC row records stipend as 'Given'; the PG stipend amount is not stated in the list.
Is AJIMS Mangalore safe — does it have anti-ragging and grievance committees?
Yes. The college's NMC mandatory-disclosure page lists its Anti-Ragging Committee, Anti-Ragging Squad and mentor lists (the committee order itself is published as a scanned PDF), as NMC regulations require. The pro-forma names Dr. Kalpana Shridhar Murulya, Professor of General Surgery, as the grievance/public-information officer. Students can additionally use the UGC's national anti-ragging portal, antiragging.in.
