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.

Scholarships
Scholarships
MAHE advertises scholarship support across its programmes (the college's own official page carries scholarship announcements, and MAHE's admissions menus list the Dr T.M.A. Pai scholarship schemes), but no official document we verified publishes MBBS-specific scholarship amounts or eligibility for KMC Manipal — treat agent claims about fee waivers with caution. Students from eligible categories can apply to national schemes through the National Scholarship Portal (NSP), and should check MAHE's College And Fees counsellor for the current year's institutional schemes.
Infrastructure & facilities
Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities
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.

FAQ
KMC Manipal FAQs
What is the MBBS fee at Kasturba Medical College (KMC) Manipal for 2026-27?
Per MAHE's official fee notification for the 2026-27 batch, the MBBS General category first-installment total is Rs 17,83,000 — tuition Rs 10,99,000 + other fees Rs 6,74,000 + a refundable caution deposit of Rs 10,000 — followed by three remaining yearly installments totalling Rs 53,17,500, for a whole-course total of Rs 71,00,500 across the 5.5-year fee schedule (4.5 years of study + internship year). These are MAHE's own notified fees: KMC Manipal is a deemed-university college, so there are no KEA fee tiers.
What is the NRI quota fee for MBBS at KMC Manipal?
MAHE publishes NRI category fees in US dollars: for the 2026-27 batch the MBBS first installment is USD 49,450 (tuition USD 30,600 + other fees USD 18,650 + the refundable USD 200 caution deposit), the remaining installments total USD 1,47,750, and the whole-course total is USD 1,97,200 inclusive of that deposit. NRI seats are also allotted by MCC's deemed-quota counselling on the NEET-UG All-India Rank — the higher fee buys no exemption from NEET merit.
What NEET cutoff or rank is needed for KMC Manipal MBBS?
There is no KEA cutoff for this college (it has no Karnataka state-quota seats), and MCC does not publish a per-college closing-rank document for deemed universities — allotment happens afresh each year across MCC Rounds 1-3 and the stray-vacancy round on the NEET-UG All-India Rank. KMC Manipal's own admitted-students disclosure lists names only (no NEET ranks), so no official closing rank exists to quote. Check the round-wise seat-allotment results on mcc.nic.in for the live position. For MD/MS, see the computed NEET-PG 2025 last-allotted ranks in the cutoff table on this page.
Is KMC Manipal the same as KMC Mangalore?
No — they are two separate sister medical colleges under the same MAHE (Manipal Academy of Higher Education) deemed university. Kasturba Medical College, Manipal — NMC code KA/036/P/3, established 1953, Madhav Nagar campus in Manipal (Udupi district), teaching hospital Kasturba Hospital Manipal — is the college this page covers. Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore is a separate MAHE constituent college based in Mangalore, with its own campus, its own NMC mandatory disclosures (manipal.edu/kmc-mangalore.html) and its own fee table on later pages of the same MAHE fee notification. Fees, seat numbers, cut-offs and rankings are NOT interchangeable between the two — always check which college a document names before relying on it.
Is Kasturba Medical College Manipal recognised, and which university is it under?
Yes. The college's official NMC-compliance disclosure 'Status of recognition of various programmes' lists the MBBS UG course with all 250 of 250 seats Recognised, citing NMC UGMEB Letter No. 2021, and the NMC pro-forma records its establishment letter-of-permission dated 22 June 1953 (NMC code KA/036/P/3).
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at KMC Manipal?
Candidates must qualify NEET-UG and meet the national NEET eligibility rules: 10+2/PUC with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English (minimum 50 percent PCB aggregate for general category, 40 percent for reserved categories per NEET rules), and at least 17 years of age by 31 December of the admission year. Selection is purely on the NEET-UG All-India Rank through MCC's deemed-university counselling — open to candidates from every state, with no Karnataka domicile requirement. MBBS at KMC Manipal is a four-and-a-half-year course along with one year of the compulsory rotating internship.
What are the MD/MS (PG) fees at Kasturba Medical College Manipal?
Per MAHE's 2026-27 fee notification (whole-course totals for the 3-year degrees, General category): MD Radiodiagnosis Rs 1,01,83,000 (the highest), MD Dermatology / MD Paediatrics / MS Orthopaedics Rs 85,99,000, MD General Medicine Rs 83,65,000, MD Emergency Medicine / MS Ophthalmology / MS ENT Rs 79,39,000, MS General Surgery / MS OBG Rs 76,42,000, MD Anaesthesiology / MD Psychiatry Rs 65,53,000, down to Rs 14,74,000 for pre-clinical MD Anatomy / Physiology / Biochemistry / Forensic Medicine. NRI PG fees are in USD — e.g. MD Radiodiagnosis USD 2,40,350 and MD General Medicine USD 1,78,550 course totals. PG admission is via NEET-PG through MCC's deemed-quota counselling.
What stipend do interns and residents get at KMC Manipal?
Per the college's Dean-signed stipend declaration for financial year 2026-27 (published on its NMC-compliance page), MBBS interns receive Rs 30,000 per month — matching the state-government benchmark column in the same declaration. Postgraduate residents receive Rs 56,250 per month in the first year, Rs 62,500 in the second and Rs 68,750 in the third; super-speciality (DM/MCh) residents receive Rs 68,750, Rs 75,000 and Rs 81,250 across the three years.
How many MBBS, PG and super-speciality seats does KMC Manipal have?
250 MBBS seats (NMC UG seat matrix, AY 2025-26), 25 MD/MS disciplines totalling 233 seats (largest: MD General Medicine 28, MS General Surgery 21, MS OBG 21, MD Paediatrics 18, MD Anaesthesiology 18, MD Pathology 17, MS Orthopaedics 15, MD Radio Diagnosis 12), and 21 DM/MCh super-speciality courses totalling 66 seats (including DM Cardiology 6, MCh Urology 6, DM Nephrology 5, DM Neurology 4, MCh Neuro Surgery 4) — all per the NMC's official seat matrices. MAHE's fee PDF labels the PG block '36 programmes' because it also counts M.Sc. health-science courses.
Is KMC Manipal safe — are there anti-ragging and harassment committees?
Yes. As an NMC-recognised college, KMC Manipal publishes an Anti-Ragging Committee and a ragging-reporting channel on its NMC-compliance pages, along with a gender-harassment (internal complaints) committee under the POSH framework. Students are additionally protected by the UGC anti-ragging regulations and can use the official UGC anti-ragging portal (antiragging.in). Manipal is a residential university town and the NMC pro-forma confirms at least 75 percent of students are accommodated on campus.
What is the total cost of MBBS at KMC Manipal including hostel?
Tuition and fees: Rs 71,00,500 whole-course total for the 2026-27 batch per MAHE's official notification (including the Rs 10,000 refundable caution deposit). Hostel adds roughly Rs 1,48,500 to Rs 1,97,000 per year depending on room tier (the published first-year totals, including the Rs 62,000 annual mess advance) — so a realistic all-in cost is around Rs 80-85 lakh over the course. NRI-category students pay USD 1,97,200 in course fees instead.
What are the hostel fees at KMC Manipal?
Per MAHE's official 2026 hostel-fee schedule for first-year MBBS students: boys in Nehru 'A' Block pay Rs 1,95,000 total for a double room with attached bath (AC) or Rs 1,48,500 (Non-AC); girls pay Rs 1,97,000 in NIH 'B' Block (double, attached bath, AC) or Rs 1,48,500 in Indira Hostel (single, attached bath, Non-AC). Totals include the hostel facilities fee, deposit, AC electricity advance where applicable, and the Rs 62,000 annual mess advance. PG residents' blocks (NIH 'C', Amartya Sen) run Rs 1,97,000 to Rs 2,81,000.
