K S Hegde Medical Academy NEET-PG 2025 — MCC deemed + NRI quota (last allotted rank, computed from official MCC allotment lists) cutoffs
K S Hegde Medical Academy cutoffs for NEET-PG 2025 — MCC deemed + NRI quota (last allotted rank, computed from official MCC allotment lists) 2025. category-wise opening and closing ranks are listed below. MD Dermatology (DVL) Deemed (Paid Seat) MCC R1 closing rank is 13,569.
NEET-PG 2025 — MCC deemed + NRI quota (last allotted rank, computed from official MCC allotment lists)2025
BranchCategoryRoundOpeningClosing
These closing ranks are for the KEA Karnataka GOVERNMENT-quota seats at K S Hegde Medical Academy (college code M053, course listed by KEA as 'MBBS-GOVT.') — the state-counselled slice that exists alongside the deemed seats: General Merit closed at NEET-UG All-India rank 27,471 in Round 1 and 29,389 in Round 2 of CET-2024. The deemed General (management-tier) and NRI seats are counselled by MCC under Deemed/Central Universities and have NO KEA rank cut-off; MCC publishes its own round-wise allotments. KEA's separate private-category cut-off publication has no M053 row at all, consistent with the zero Private/Other/NRI columns in KEA's fee notification. Only the CET-2024 Round-1 and Round-2 General PDFs are published at KEA's official paths — no Round-3/mop-up or 2025 file was found there. The values were read manually from the official PDF layout because automated row-matching can pick up the adjacent row of Yenepoya Medical College (M052), the same-city deemed neighbour. For MD/MS (postgraduate) seats the route is again MCC: the NEET-PG 2025 rows are LAST-ALLOTTED NEET-PG All-India ranks per specialty, computed from MCC's official round-wise final allotment lists (the Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and Stray Vacancy Round result PDFs on mcc.nic.in) — each row shows the latest round in which MCC actually allotted a KSHEMA seat in that specialty, under the Deemed paid-seat or NRI quota. These are computed last-allotted figures, not college-published cutoffs, and they shift with year, round, quota and category.

Infrastructure & facilities
Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities
KSHEMA sits on the Nitte (Deemed to be University) health-sciences campus at Deralakatte, about 15 km from Mangaluru city, with the Justice K S Hegde Charitable Hospital alongside as its teaching hospital. Academic infrastructure on the campus includes the Central Research Laboratory, the Centre for Advanced Neurological Research, departmental museums and skill labs, a gym, cafeteria, playground and sports facilities, and university transport. The same Deralakatte campus also houses Nitte's other health-science institutions — A.B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences (dental), Nitte Usha Institute of Nursing Sciences and NGSM Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences — which are separate colleges of the same university: dental, nursing and pharmacy facts, fees and ranks belong to those siblings, not to the medical college. The college's research collaborations include Wake Forest University (USA), the University of Toronto (Canada), BARC, Mangalore University and St. John's Research Institute.

K S Hegde Medical Academy (KSHEMA), Mangalore — NMC code KA/029/P/4, KEA code M053 — was established in 1999 and became a constituent college of Nitte (Deemed to be University) in 2009. It is named after its founder, Late Justice K S Hegde, former Judge of the Supreme Court of India and Speaker of the Lok Sabha, who founded the Nitte Group. Beyond NMC recognition, the college is recognized by the Malaysian Medical Council per its official recognitions page — useful for Malaysian students taking their degree home. Research infrastructure includes the Central Research Laboratory and the Centre for Advanced Neurological Research, and the college lists research linkages with Wake Forest University (USA), the University of Toronto (Canada), BARC, Mangalore University and St. John's Research Institute; fellowship and certificate programmes (including CCrISP) run alongside the MD/MS departments. B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences, not to this medical college. KSHEMA pays MBBS interns Rs 30,000 per month per its Dean-signed NMC stipend disclosure for 2026-27, with PG residents at Rs 56,250 to Rs 68,750 per month by year. B. Shetty Memorial Institute of Dental Sciences (BDS/MDS), Nitte Usha Institute of Nursing Sciences, NGSM Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences and the engineering school NMAM Institute of Technology are separate Nitte institutions whose fees, cut-offs and ranks do not apply to KSHEMA.

FAQ
K S Hegde Medical Academy FAQs
What is the NRI quota fee for MBBS at KSHEMA?
Rs 30,00,000 tuition per year under Nitte's official NRI-category fee structure for 2026-27 — first-year total Rs 30,19,000 including the Rs 11,000 university fee and Rs 8,000 exam fee, then Rs 30,08,000 in years II-IV and Rs 15,04,000 for the final half-year (a computed course total of Rs 1,35,47,000). NRI seats are allotted through MCC's Deemed/Central Universities counselling on NEET-UG merit, with the sponsor and embassy documentation MCC requires.
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at KSHEMA?
Per the college's admissions page: a pass in Class 12 with 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology with English as one of the languages of study, age 17 completed by 31 December of the admission year, and NEET-UG qualification. The programme runs 4.5 years of academics plus a 1-year compulsory rotating internship. Indian nationals, NRIs and foreign nationals apply through the same NEET-MCC route for deemed-university seats.
Is K S Hegde Medical Academy recognised by the NMC?
Partly Recognised, partly Permitted — and the distinction matters: 150 MBBS seats are Recognised (MCI/MoHFW letter of 9 May 2016, renewed by NMC in 2021), while the increase to 250 rests on an NMC MARB Permission letter dated 15-06-2023, so the additional 100 seats are Permitted, not yet Recognised. This split comes verbatim from the college's own NMC pro-forma. KSHEMA is also recognized by the Malaysian Medical Council per its official recognitions page.
Which university is K S Hegde Medical Academy under?
Nitte (Deemed to be University), Mangalore — KSHEMA has been its constituent college since 2009. Being deemed, its General and NRI MBBS seats are counselled by MCC, not KEA — though KEA also runs a government-quota slice at this college (code M053).
What MD/MS and MCh courses does KSHEMA offer?
136 NMC-approved MD/MS seats across 20 broad specialties per the NMC consolidated PG seat matrix — the largest being MD General Medicine (17), MD Anaesthesiology (16), MS General Surgery (12), MS Orthopaedics (9) and MD Paediatrics (9) — plus exactly one super-speciality course: M.Ch Urology/Genito-Urinary Surgery with 3 seats. There is no DM programme. PG admission is through NEET-PG and NEET-SS via MCC counselling for deemed universities.
What NEET-PG rank do I need for MD/MS at K S Hegde Medical Academy, Mangalore?
There is no fixed cutoff — KSHEMA's MD/MS seats are allotted by MCC in the deemed quota, so the honest yardstick is the last rank MCC actually allotted, computed from MCC's official round-wise final allotment lists for NEET-PG 2025. On the deemed (paid-seat) quota the last-allotted All-India ranks were 13,653 for MD Radio-diagnosis and 15,961 for MD General Medicine (both Round 3), 39,537 for MD Paediatrics, 48,830 for MS Orthopaedics, 60,110 for MS Ophthalmology, and — in the Stray Vacancy Round — 69,763 for MS General Surgery and 75,184 for MD Anaesthesiology. Pre/para-clinical seats ran far deeper (MD Pathology 1,21,717; MD Physiology 2,28,775), and NRI-quota seats closed deeper still (MD General Medicine 1,78,525). These are last-allotted figures computed from official MCC allotment PDFs, not college-published cutoffs; they move every year, round, quota and category, so treat them as indicative.
What stipend does K S Hegde Medical Academy pay its interns and residents?
KSHEMA's Dean-signed NMC stipend declaration for 2026-27 states the college pays MBBS interns Rs 30,000 per month. PG (MD/MS) residents receive Rs 56,250 per month in year one, Rs 62,500 in year two and Rs 68,750 in year three; super-speciality senior residents go from Rs 68,750 to Rs 81,250 per month.
Is KSHEMA safe — are there anti-ragging and harassment committees?
Yes. The college's NMC disclosure names an Anti-Ragging Cell with a nodal officer (the Professor and Head of Forensic Medicine) and reports zero ragging cases for 2023-25, an Internal Complaints Committee for prevention of sexual harassment headed by the Professor and Head of Physiology, and a Grievance Redressal Officer (the Professor and Head of Community Medicine, with nil grievances reported for 2023-25). A Substance Abuse Monitoring Committee and Women's Cell are also listed. The national UGC anti-ragging portal antiragging.in applies in addition.
What are the hostel facilities and fees at K S Hegde Medical Academy?
On-campus hostels near the college and hospital: 201 rooms housing 384 men and 335 rooms housing 600 women per the NMC pro-forma, with Wi-Fi, TV and reading rooms, solar water heaters, AC rooms in some blocks, 24x7 security with CCTV, and a vegetarian mess with app-based non-veg pre-booking. The fee payable at admission includes a caution deposit, mess advance and room rent, but no current-year hostel fee amount is published — the official hostel-fee PDF link is dead and the old Rs 92,000 annual-dues figure sits in a superseded notification, so verify the current amount with the college.
