All cut-off data is official KEA, college code M036 (UG) / fee block M27 (PG). MBBS rows are KEA's CET-2024 Round 2 closing ranks — the latest cleanly published KEA cutoff PDFs — read from the M036 row by column position in both the government and the private/NRI/Others publications; the government General Merit seat closed at NEET-UG rank 36,898, and even the paid tiers closed on NEET ranks (Others/management 3,35,307; NRI 9,66,111), which is the factual answer to 'direct admission'. Additional sub-category closings in the government publication: 1-Rural 87,153, 2A-Kannada 97,504, 2A-Rural 74,429, SC-Kannada 1,97,079, SC-Rural 1,97,798.

SDM has NO MCC counselling presence: the official MCC NEET-PG 2025 allotment lists (all four rounds) contain zero SDM/Dharmasthala rows — PG admission runs through KEA, not MCC deemed counselling.

Research & rankings
Centres, patents, grants & MoU partners
SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital (SDMCMSH) was founded in 2003 by Dr. D. Veerendra Heggade, the Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala and president of the Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Educational (SDME) Society of Ujire, as a centre for medical education and healthcare for North Karnataka 'at a reasonable cost' — the teaching hospital was registered in June 2003, a year before the first MBBS Letter of Permission of 26 July 2004 (the NMC's Year of Inception is 2004; both dates are official). Since 19 December 2018 the college sits under Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) University, Dharwad — a Karnataka STATE PRIVATE university created by Karnataka Act No. 19 of 2018, UGC-listed under Section 2(f) — which is why its MBBS and MD/MS seats run through KEA counselling (codes M036 and M27), not MCC deemed counselling. Research and academics anchors: a Central Research Laboratory and a Centre for Integrated Medicine and Research, faculty publication annexures on the NMC disclosure, collaborations with Karnatak University Dharwad and KIDNAR (Karnataka Institute for DNA Research) for genetic-analysis research, and partner-institution status in ECFMG's GEMx global medical-exchange programme, under which students from abroad take elective clerkships here and SDM students can do the same overseas. PG teaching dates to 2010-11 and now spans 22 MD/MS specialties plus six newer DM/MCh courses; the hospital performs bone-marrow, renal and cochlear-implant transplant work and earned NABH accreditation in August 2025 (certificate H-2025-1644). The NIRF-2026 cycle has a data submission from the college (IR-D-C-40399) but no published NIRF Medical rank, and no NAAC grade is published — neither is claimed. The college's own pages cite magazine rankings (The Week, India Today) and an 'Oxford EBA' award; those are not official government rankings and are excluded here. NIRF-submission outcome data: of recent MBBS cohorts of ~100, students graduating in the minimum stipulated time were 92 (2021-22), 86 (2022-23) and 95 (2023-24) — an on-time-graduation figure, not an exam pass percentage, which the college does not publish as a clean number.

FAQ
SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad FAQs
What is the management quota fee for MBBS at SDM Medical College Dharwad?
The management (Q/Others) tier is Rs 35,15,000 per year in the KEA 2025-26 medical fee notification (college code M036) — identical to the NRI tier. The government-quota seat is Rs 1,56,621 per year and the private quota Rs 20,15,000. Over the 4.5-year course that is roughly Rs 1.58 crore tuition on a management seat versus about Rs 7.05 lakh on a government seat (computed from the KEA per-year figures). The college publishes no fee page of its own — the KEA notification is the official fee trail.
What was the NEET cutoff for SDM College of Medical Sciences Dharwad?
In KEA's CET-2024 Round 2 publications (code M036), the government/state-quota General Merit seat closed at NEET-UG rank 36,898; other government-tier closings were 3A 38,586, 2B 45,587, 3B 48,623, 2A 52,024, 1G 62,012, ST 1,54,356 and SC 1,71,137. In the separate private/NRI/Others publication the paid tiers also closed on NEET ranks: private (OPN) 1,69,478, GMP 2,22,530, Others/management 3,35,307 and NRI 9,66,111.
Is there direct admission to MBBS at SDM Medical College Dharwad?
No. Every KEA tier for this college — including management/Others and NRI — is allotted through KEA counselling against a NEET-UG rank, and KEA's own CET-2024 cutoff publication shows the management tier closing at rank 3,35,307 and NRI at 9,66,111. NEET qualification is mandatory for every quota, and PG (MD/MS) seats are likewise KEA-allotted on NEET-PG rank. Treat any agent promising a seat outside NEET/KEA with extreme caution.
How many MBBS and PG seats does SDM Medical College Dharwad have?
150 MBBS seats per the NMC's final UG seat matrix of 03.12.2025 (the college started with 100 in 2004; a 14/01/2022 LoP raised it to 150). PG: 136 final seats across 23 NMC-sanctioned entries for AY 2025-26 — including MD General Medicine 14, MS OBG 14, MD Anaesthesiology 13, MD Paediatrics 12, MS General Surgery 12, MD Pathology 10 and MD Radio Diagnosis 8. Super-speciality: 15 DM/MCh seats across 6 courses are NMC-sanctioned, but the college's disclosure reports 0 DM/MCh admitted this session.
Is SDM Medical College Dharwad a deemed university? Which university is it under?
It is NOT a deemed university. It is the medical college of Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara (SDM) University, Dharwad — a Karnataka STATE PRIVATE university created by the SDM University Act 2018 (Karnataka Act No. 19 of 2018, effective 19 December 2018) with UGC Section 2(f) listing. That distinction matters for admission: its MBBS and MD/MS seats are counselled by KEA with the standard Karnataka fee tiers (UG code M036, PG block M27), and the official MCC NEET-PG 2025 allotment lists contain zero rows for this college — there is no MCC deemed counselling route here.
What are the MD/MS (PG) fees at SDM Medical College Dharwad?
Per the KEA PG medical fee structure 2025-26 (block M27), per year: the government (G) tier is Rs 7,83,108 for clinical courses, Rs 2,07,027 for para-clinical and Rs 1,11,015 for pre-clinical. Management/Others (Q) and NRI tiers are identical to each other: MD Radio Diagnosis Rs 1,10,15,000; MD General Medicine and MD Dermatology Rs 95,15,000; MD Paediatrics, MS OBG and MS Orthopaedics Rs 80,15,000; MS General Surgery and MS Ophthalmology Rs 65,15,000; MD Anaesthesiology Rs 50,15,000; MD Psychiatry Rs 30,15,000 — while pre- and para-clinical seats like MD Anatomy or MD Microbiology are listed at just Rs 25,000. DM/MCh fees are not published anywhere official.

Is SDM Medical College Dharwad recognised by the NMC?
Yes for its long-standing seats: the college's NMC mandatory disclosure states verbatim 'Status of Recognition: 100 Seats Recognized & Renewed'. The intake has been 150 since a 14/01/2022 Letter of Permission added 50 seats, and the disclosure does not yet show those 50 as recognised — the current Permitted-vs-Recognised split for the additional seats is not published. The first MBBS LoP was dated 26/07/2004 with 100 seats. Its NMC code per the NMC College & Course Search worklist is KA/053/P/4 (a /P/ private-college code).
How big is the hospital at SDM Medical College Dharwad — and is it NABH accredited?
The Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Hospital was registered in June 2003, before the college itself. The NMC disclosure lists 800 teaching beds; the NABH certificate states 1,000 sanctioned beds; NIRF and the Medical Superintendent cite 1,200 beds with 18 operation theatres and 120 ICU beds; the About page says two hospitals totalling 1,250 beds — each figure is attributed because they differ. In calendar-2025 it registered 6,41,098 outpatients and 51,266 inpatients. It is NABH-accredited: certificate H-2025-1644 on the NABH portal, valid 28 August 2025 to 27 August 2029, with bone-marrow transplant, renal transplant, critical care and surgical oncology in the accredited scope.
What stipend does SDM Medical College Dharwad pay interns and PG residents?
Per the college's own stipend declaration for FY 2025-26 (published on its NMC disclosure): MBBS interns receive Rs 25,000 per month from the college against the Rs 30,000 Karnataka government benchmark shown in the same table. PG (MD/MS) residents are paid ABOVE the state benchmark — Rs 50,000 / 55,000 / 60,000 per month in years 1/2/3 versus the state's 45,000 / 50,000 / 55,000. Super-speciality (DM/MCh) residents: Rs 60,000 / 65,000 / 70,000 by year.
Is SDM Medical College the same as SDM Dental College or SDM Ayurveda College?
No. The SDME Society of Ujire runs many sibling institutions — SDM College of Dental Sciences (Dharwad), SDM ayurveda and naturopathy colleges, nursing and pharmacy colleges among them. This page covers ONLY SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Sattur, Dharwad — the MBBS/MD/MS college with NMC code KA/053/P/4 (per the NMC College & Course Search worklist), KEA codes M036 (UG) and M27 (PG). Dental (BDS), ayurveda (BAMS) and nursing admissions, fees and cutoffs are entirely separate.
Is SDM Medical College Dharwad safe — are there anti-ragging and harassment committees?
Yes. The college publishes its Anti-Ragging Committee on the NMC disclosure (the hostel wardens sit on it), reports NIL ragging cases to the committee, names a Grievance Redressal Officer (a Professor of Biochemistry), and lists a Gender Harassment committee. The national UGC anti-ragging portal antiragging.in applies in addition, and the college's disclosure lists the national anti-ragging helpline and an SDM helpline for reporting.
