About KMC Manipal
Kasturba Medical College, Manipal is an university in Manipal, Karnataka. Kasturba Medical College, Manipal offers 47 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 46 at postgraduate level. These include MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), MD General Medicine, MS General Surgery, MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology and MD Paediatrics, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 549 seats. First-year MBBS students live in MAHE's named hostel blocks on the Health Sciences campus, with fees published in the official 2026 hostel-fee schedule. Boys (Nehru 'A' Block): double room with attached bath — AC total Rs 1,95,000 for the first year (hostel facilities Rs 1,08,000 + deposit Rs 15,000 + AC electricity advance Rs 10,000 + annual mess advance Rs 62,000) or Non-AC total Rs 1,48,500. Girls: NIH 'B' Block double with attached bath AC Rs 1,97,000, or Indira Hostel single with attached bath Non-AC Rs 1,48,500. The annual mess advance of Rs 62,000 is included in those totals. Postgraduates (MD/MS and super-speciality) use NIH/Amartya Sen blocks — double AC Rs 1,97,000 to single AC Rs 2,81,000. The NMC pro-forma confirms at least 75 percent of students are accommodated on campus. Established in 1953 by Dr T.M.A. Pai, Kasturba Medical College, Manipal is described by MAHE as the first self-financing medical college in the private sector in India, and it remains one of the country's strongest private medical schools: NIRF Medical Rank 10 in 2025 (score 68.05) after Rank 9 in 2024 (score 67.42), per nirfindia.org. The college's NMC disclosure shows MBBS with all 250 seats Recognised, and its postgraduate ladder runs 25 MD/MS disciplines (233 seats) plus 21 DM/MCh super-speciality courses (66 seats) — from MD Radiodiagnosis to MCh Hand Surgery and DM Paediatric Oncology — per the NMC seat matrices. Research infrastructure rides on the 2032-bed Kasturba Hospital, the first medical college hospital in Karnataka to earn NABH accreditation (2009), which also holds AAHRPP human-research-protection accreditation, with a 280-bed cancer research hospital adjacent. Kasturba Medical College sits at Madhav Nagar in Manipal, the Udupi-district university town that grew around it after Dr T.M.A. Pai founded the college in 1953 — MAHE's own history calls it the first self-financing medical college in the private sector in India. Clinical training is anchored by Kasturba Hospital, Manipal, the 2032-bed apex teaching hospital (opened in 1961 with 150 beds), with an adjacent 280-bed cancer research hospital. The campus pairs the heritage college blocks around the KMC Greens with simulation and skill labs, a campus museum, student clubs, and MAHE's named hostel blocks (Nehru, Indira, NIH, Amartya Sen, C V Raman and others) across the Health Sciences campus.

KMC Manipal NEET-PG 2025 — MCC deemed quota (last allotted rank, computed from official MCC allotment lists) cutoffs
KMC Manipal cutoffs for NEET-PG 2025 — MCC deemed quota (last allotted rank, computed from official MCC allotment lists) 2025. category-wise opening and closing ranks are listed below. MD Radio-diagnosis Deemed — Paid Seat (Self-Financed Merit) MCC Round 3 closing rank is 4,555.
KMC Manipal has NO KEA state-quota cut-off because it has no KEA seats — the KEA 2025-26 fee PDF prints 0/0/0 for the Kasturba row's Private/Q/NRI columns, and the college does not appear in KEA's NEET cutoff PDFs. MBBS (NEET-UG): the cut-off that matters is the MCC deemed-quota closing rank on the NEET-UG All-India Rank, decided afresh each year across MCC Rounds 1-3 and the stray-vacancy round; MCC publishes round-wise allotment results on mcc.nic.in but no per-college closing-rank document, and the college's own admitted-students list publishes names only, no NEET ranks — so no official NEET-UG closing rank is reproduced here. MD/MS (NEET-PG): the table above is computed by us from MCC's official round-wise FINAL allotment results for NEET-PG 2025 counselling — each figure is the last (numerically highest) NEET-PG 2025 All-India rank actually allotted a seat at Kasturba Medical College Manipal in that specialty and quota, and the round column names the final round in which that specialty was allotted. These are allotment outcomes, not joining confirmations, and last-allotted ranks move every year and every round.
