Overview
About AJIMS Mangalore
A J Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Mangalore is a private medical college (rguhs-affiliated trust; kea-classified minority institution) in Mangalore (Kuntikana, Dakshina Kannada), Karnataka. A J Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Mangalore offers 28 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 23 at postgraduate level. These include MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), MD General Medicine, MD Anaesthesiology, MD Radio Diagnosis and MD Paediatrics, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 418 seats. The campus page says about 650 hostel rooms are available on campus, all double-occupancy with attached washrooms, 'built to provide a feeling of Home away from Home'. The older NMC pro-forma details a different, more granular count — a men's hostel of 240 rooms x double occupancy (200 UG + 40 intern places) and a women's hostel of 240 rooms x double occupancy (200 UG + 40 intern places), furnished with chair, study table, bed, full-size cupboard, book shelf and shoe rack — 480 rooms in that document. Both official figures are shown since they differ. Hostel and mess FEES are not published on any official page found — ask the college at admission. 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 (PubMed/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. 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. 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.

Cutoffs · NEET-UG
AJIMS Mangalore NEET-UG cutoffs
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).

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.

FAQ
AJIMS Mangalore FAQs
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 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.
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.
Does A J Institute of Medical Sciences offer DM/MCh super-speciality courses?
The college's NMC disclosure lists four Recognized super-speciality courses — MCh Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery (4 seats), MCh Urology (4), DM Cardiology (4) and DM Endocrinology (2), 14 seats in all. However, AJIMS has NO row in the NMC's Super-Speciality Seat Matrix of 02-04-2026, so these seats did not appear in that MCC SS counselling matrix — candidates should confirm current-cycle availability with the college and MCC before counting on them. DM Endocrinology additionally carries recognition flag 'O' in the NMC archival data (its 2 seats were permitted in 2022-23).
What are the hostel facilities and fees at AJIMS Mangalore?
The campus page says about 650 hostel rooms, all double-occupancy with attached washrooms; the NMC pro-forma details 480 rooms (240 men's + 240 women's including intern blocks) furnished with chair, study table, bed, cupboard, book shelf and shoe rack — both official figures are shown since they differ. Hostel and mess fees are NOT published on any official page found — ask the college directly at admission.
