Infrastructure & facilities

Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities

The college sits on Light House Hill Road in central Mangalore (Hampankatta), with the pre-clinical Centre for Basic Sciences at Bejai started in 2001 for first-year students. The About page describes seven large air-conditioned lecture halls and a fully air-conditioned central library seating about 500, holding over 10,000 books and subscribing to more than 350 journals a year. Clinical training runs across its own KMC hospitals — KMC Hospital Attavar (described as a 600-bed multi-disciplinary specialty centre on the Teaching Hospitals page and as 500-bed on the About page — both official figures are cited) and the 250-bed KMC Hospital at Dr B R Ambedkar Circle with NABL-accredited labs and a NABH-accredited blood bank (both since 2009) — plus the Government Wenlock and Government Lady Goschen hospitals that have anchored undergraduate teaching since 1955. The college's NMC clinical-workload disclosure for January-February 2026 records about 2,555 and 2,522 outpatients per day and 4,880 and 4,598 inpatient admissions in those months, with roughly 56 major and 92 minor operations a day.

Research & rankings

Centres, patents, grants & MoU partners

Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Mangalore — established 1955, NMC code KA/035/P/3, KEA code M051 — is one of India's oldest private medical colleges and a constituent of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE), the Deemed-to-be-University founded by Dr. T.M.A. Pai that holds a NAAC A++ grade (CGPA 3.65 on the 4-point scale, third cycle, certificate dated 31 May 2022 and valid to 30 May 2027) and Institution of Eminence status. Its About page calls it 'the first College to be developed as a private partnership model in medical education' in India: teaching began in 1955 using the Government Wenlock and Lady Goschen hospitals, the pre-clinical section came to Mangalore in 1961, and KMC Mangalore became an independent unit in 1977 — distinct ever since from its sibling KMC Manipal (KA/036/P/3). The Medical Council of India granted recognition in 1958 with the first graduating class, followed by the General Medical Council of Great Britain and the Malaysian Medical Council, and the NMC record today shows MBBS Recognised with annual renewal for 250 seats. In the official NIRF India Rankings 2025 the college is ranked 35 among medical institutions (its own published banner carries the same 'Ranked 35th' claim; the nirfindia.org listing was verified while the site itself was under maintenance). The college states it is recognised as one of 20 International Medical Schools by the ECFMG for the electronic credentials-verification programme, counts graduates from 45 countries, and describes itself as the medical college with the highest ICMR Short-Term Studentship awards in the country — the latter is the college's own claim, reported as such. Research output flows through 22 NMC-approved MD/MS disciplines (188 seats) and the hospital network's NABL-accredited labs; there are no DM/MCh courses at Mangalore (those run at KMC Manipal).

FAQ

Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore FAQs

What is the MBBS fee at Kasturba Medical College Mangalore?
Per MAHE's official 2026-27 fee notification (Mangalore-campus block), the general-category MBBS fee is Rs 17,83,000 in the first year (Rs 10,99,000 tuition + Rs 6,74,000 other fees, plus a Rs 10,000 refundable caution deposit) and Rs 71,00,500 for the full 5.5-year course, paid in 4 yearly installments. Separately, the KEA 2025-26 fee table (college code M051) lists a state government-quota fee of Rs 1,53,571 per year for KEA-allotted seats. NRI seats are dollar-priced at USD 37,150 for year 1 (USD 148,000 total).
Is Kasturba Medical College Mangalore the same as KMC Manipal?
No — they are two different medical colleges under the same MAHE deemed university, and mixing them up is the most common confusion. KMC Mangalore is NMC code KA/035/P/3 (Light House Hill Road, Mangalore, teaching since 1955, NIRF Medical 2025 rank 35); KMC Manipal is KA/036/P/3 (Madhav Nagar, Manipal, 1953, with its own separate NIRF rank). Both have 250 MBBS seats and share the same Rs 17,83,000 general first-year fee in MAHE's table, but the NRI fee differs (Mangalore USD 37,150/yr vs Manipal USD 49,450/yr), the cutoffs differ, and DM/MCh super-speciality courses exist only at Manipal — the NMC super-speciality matrix has no Mangalore rows.
What is the NEET cutoff for Kasturba Medical College Mangalore?
For the KEA state government-quota seats (code M051), the latest published KEA medical cutoff (CET-2024 Round 2) closed at NEET-UG All-India rank 9,421 for General Merit — in Round 1 it was 6,463. Category closings in R2: 3A 13,123, 3B 19,249, 1G 35,957, 2A 46,714, ST 1,27,246, SC 1,54,683, with GM-Rural at 18,656 and GM-Kannada at 71,621. The deemed/MCC seats have no KEA cutoff; for PG, last-allotted NEET-PG 2025 ranks computed from MCC's official allotment lists ranged from 5,472 (MD Dermatology, paid seat) to 2,25,479 (MD Physiology).
Is there management quota or direct admission at KMC Mangalore?
There is no management-quota or direct-admission route. KMC Mangalore is a MAHE deemed-university college, so every non-government MBBS seat fills through MCC's deemed-quota counselling strictly on NEET-UG merit at the institutional fee of Rs 17,83,000 per year — that MCC route is what 'management quota' searches actually point to here, and it is open to NEET qualifiers from any state. The remaining seats run through KEA's government quota (code M051). Treat any agent who promises a seat outside MCC or KEA counselling with extreme caution.
What is the NRI quota fee at Kasturba Medical College Mangalore?
MAHE's official 2026-27 FNRI fee notification prices the Mangalore-campus MBBS NRI/Foreign category in US dollars: USD 37,150 in the first year (USD 23,000 tuition + USD 13,950 other fees, plus a USD 200 caution deposit) and USD 148,000 for the full course. This is campus-specific — KMC Manipal's NRI fee in the same notification is higher at USD 49,450 per year. NRI seats are allotted through MCC's deemed counselling on NEET merit; the college's FAQ page confirms seats are reserved for foreign students.
How many MBBS and PG seats does KMC Mangalore have?
250 MBBS seats (NMC UG seat matrix of 03-12-2025, S.No 237) plus 188 MD/MS seats across 22 disciplines (NMC merged PG seat matrix of 30-01-2026) — the largest PG blocks are MD General Medicine (30), MD Anaesthesiology (19), MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology (19), MD Paediatrics (14) and MS General Surgery (14). There are no DM/MCh super-speciality seats at Mangalore; all Kasturba super-speciality rows in the NMC matrix belong to KMC Manipal.
Is Kasturba Medical College Mangalore recognised by the NMC?
Yes. The NMC's UG college record for KA/035/P/3 shows status Recognised, reading verbatim: 'Annual renewal permission granted for 250 MBBS seats for AY 2024-25. Annual Renewal Permitted for 250 MBBS seats for AY 2025-26.' The college dates its original recognition to 1958, when the Medical Council of India recognised it with the first graduating class; recognition by the General Medical Council of Great Britain and the Malaysian Medical Council followed, per the About page.
What are the MD/MS fees at KMC Mangalore?
MAHE's 2026-27 notification prices each discipline separately for the Mangalore campus. Clinical examples (first year / course total): MD Radiodiagnosis Rs 34,01,000 / Rs 1,01,83,000 (the highest), MD General Medicine Rs 27,95,000 / Rs 83,65,000, MD Paediatrics, MS Orthopaedics and MD Dermatology Rs 28,73,000 / Rs 85,99,000, MS General Surgery and MS OBG Rs 25,54,000 / Rs 76,42,000, MD Anaesthesiology and MD Psychiatry Rs 21,91,000 / Rs 65,53,000. Pre/para-clinical run far lower: MD Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry Rs 4,98,000 / Rs 14,74,000, MD Pathology Rs 19,63,000 / Rs 58,69,000, MD Microbiology Rs 14,13,000 / Rs 42,19,000. All PG admission is via NEET-PG through MCC deemed counselling.
Why does a deemed college like KMC Mangalore have a KEA government quota?
It is a genuine hybrid, verified in KEA's own documents: the KEA 2025-26 medical fee table lists code M051 with a government-quota fee of Rs 1,53,571 per year (the Private, Other-Q and NRI columns are zero), and KEA publishes category-wise NEET closing ranks for M051 — so Karnataka government-quota seats are KEA-counselled at this deemed college even though all other seats go through MCC. How many seats sit in each quota is not published in any official document, so no split is claimed here.
What are the hostel fees at Kasturba Medical College Mangalore?
MAHE's 2026 hostel-fee schedule (Health Sciences Campus, Mangalore) prices the first-year Bejai New Hostel used by MBBS students at Rs 1,98,000 for a double-seater AC room with attached bath (Rs 1,11,000 hostel facilities fee + Rs 15,000 deposit + Rs 10,000 AC electricity advance + Rs 62,000 annual mess advance) and Rs 1,63,500 for a double-seater non-AC room. Mess membership is mandatory for first-year hostellers, rooms are chosen online through the MAHE hostel portal, and no single rooms are offered to first-years. The college runs nine hostels in all, five of them for women.
What internship stipend does KMC Mangalore pay MBBS interns?
Per the NMC's consolidated Stipend Detail List (college report of 2024, S.No 465), Kasturba Medical College Mangalore reported paying stipends 'as mentioned by state Govt.' — the Karnataka state rates listed in the same row are Rs 30,000 per month for UG (CRMI) interns and Rs 45,000 per month for PG residents. The college itself publishes no separate stipend notification on its site, so the NMC list is the official figure available.
Is KMC Mangalore safe — what anti-ragging protections exist?
The college publishes a dedicated anti-ragging page with its Anti-Ragging Committee under the UGC/NMC anti-ragging regulations, and as an NMC-recognised institution it maintains the mandated committee-and-squad structure along with an Internal Complaints Committee for women's safety under the POSH Act. Students can additionally use the national UGC anti-ragging portal (antiragging.in). Hostels are within campus premises per the college's FAQ page, with separate ladies' hostels and wardens.
