at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chikballapur

SMSIMSR's own admission regulation states: 'All the seats, including NRI/Management quota, are allotted by merit through online counselling conducted by Karnataka Examination Authority.' A 5% 'Management or Other Quota' tier (3 of 50 MBBS seats) does exist in the college's published seat matrix at the KEA-notified Rs 45,00,000-per-year tuition (KEA code M093 — the Others/Q seat closed at NEET rank 6,60,558 in CET-2024 Round 2), but it is filled through KEA online counselling on NEET-UG merit exactly like every other seat. There is no seat outside NEET and KEA — the NMC Letter of Permission itself conditions the college on 'Admitting students through common counselling only'. The institute's stated model is the opposite of seat-selling: free medical education funded by the Prashanthi Balamandira Trust, delivered as government-quota seats (free of charge) and mandatory-service-bond-and-free-hostel regulation on all tiers for MBBS.

What is actually available
  • NEET-UG → KEA government quota (40% — 20 of 50 seats): KEA-notified fee Rs 1,41,621/yr, which the college's own regulation makes 'Free of Charge' to the student — tuition, hostel, food, books and uniform included
  • NEET-UG → KEA private quota (40% — 20 seats): Rs 22,00,000/yr tuition; hostel, food, books and uniform free on all MBBS tiers; mandatory 5-year service bond is a condition for admission for all MBBS students
  • NEET-UG → KEA NRI quota (15% — 7 seats): Rs 45,00,000/yr tuition; no NRI allotment took place in CET-2024 Round 2

UG: both official KEA cut-off sets for SMSIMSR (KEA code M093) are from CET-2024 Round 2 — the latest consolidated publication; the fee notification shown elsewhere on this page is the newer 2025-26 one, so the years differ and are labelled. In the government/state list the General Merit seat closed at NEET-UG All-India rank 64,601; in KEA's separate private/Others publication the Private Open seat closed at 1,93,122 and the Others/management seat at 6,60,558, while the NRI column shows NO closing rank — KEA made no NRI allotment for M093 that round. PG: SMSIMSR's PG seats are KEA-counselled (course codes beginning M71), and the ranks shown are last-allotted NEET-PG 2025 All-India ranks computed course-by-course from KEA's official final allotment lists (Round 2 final of 24-12-2025 and the court-ordered 3rd/mop-up round final of 26-02-2026); the college has no rows in the KEA PG Round-1 final list or the stray-vacancy list, and no NRI-coded PG allotments appear. Last-allotted ranks are readings from allotment lists, not a KEA-published cutoff table. Government-quota PG allotments at SMSIMSR carried a listed course fee of Rs 7,83,108 (clinical) / Rs 2,07,027 (para-clinical) in those lists. No allotment rows exist for MD Anatomy, MD Physiology, MD Biochemistry or MD Microbiology in either round.

Scholarships

Scholarships

MBBS and PG financial models differ at SMSIMSR. For MBBS: government-quota seats are 'Free of Charge — including tuition fee, hostel fee, food, books, uniform etc.' per the seat matrix; on every MBBS tier, hostel, food, books and uniform are free. Every MBBS student must sign a mandatory five-year service bond as a condition for admission (per the seat matrix 'Mandatory Rules' and the 2023 prospectus: 'required, as a condition for admission, to execute a social obligation service Affidavit to serve for FIVE years'). Penalty for MBBS service-default (per 2023 prospectus): Rs 3.6 crore plus hostel costs for failure to complete the post-graduation service obligation; Rs 1.8 crore plus hostel costs for mid-course discontinuation or termination of the MBBS course. There is no separate MBBS scholarship — the free model and bond are the standard regulation. For PG (MD/MS): the Prashanthi Balamandira Trust offers a voluntary 100% scholarship to selected postgraduate students, 'covering tuition fees including fees paid to KEA, residence and boarding fees, university fees, skill lab fees and university exam fees', for 'students who are economically disadvantaged, compassionate and committed to serving the underprivileged in rural areas'. PG students who voluntarily elect the scholarship sign a three-year service bond; those who do not elect it pay the notified PG fees without any bond obligation (per the December-2025 PG scholarship agreement: 'admission is not conditional upon acceptance of any scholarship, service bond, compulsory hostel residence, or post-qualification service obligation').

Infrastructure & facilities

Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities

SMSIMSR sits inside Sathya Sai Grama at Muddenahalli, Chikkaballapur district — about an hour from Bengaluru's airport — on the residential campus of Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence. The model is a 'gurukulam': every MBBS student is required to live in the institutional hostel (compulsory for all MBBS tiers per the seat matrix Mandatory Rules), which is free of charge, as are food, books and uniform; for PG students who elect the voluntary Trust scholarship, hostel is similarly free and mandatory as part of the scholarship conditions. The academic block houses a fully air-conditioned central library, three museums (anatomy, pathology and forensic medicine among the disciplines), four 120-seat lecture halls with digital smart podiums, departmental and research laboratories, a skill lab, and a 5,500 sq ft central lobby gallery. Clinical training happens at the adjacent Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital — the 360-bed teaching hospital that treats every patient free of cost and anchors the institute's 'In the Rural, Of the Rural, For the Rural' mission.

Research & rankings

Centres, patents, grants & MoU partners

Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (SMSIMSR) at Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli — in Chikkaballapur district, also written Chikballapur in NMC records — describes itself on its homepage as the 'World's first medical college entirely dedicated towards rural upliftment and universal healthcare', and the Government of India's own PIB release for the inauguration by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 25 March 2023 states that 'SMSIMSR will provide medical education and quality medical care - completely free of cost - to all'. It was established by the Prashanthi Balamandira Trust as a constituent college of Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence (SSSUHE) — a State Private University established in 2019 under Karnataka State Act 17 of 2018, whose Chancellor is the institute's founder, Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai. SSSUHE is not a deemed university, and it is a different institution from the deemed Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning at Puttaparthi (whose NAAC A++ grade aggregators wrongly attach to this college) and from the unrelated Sri Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences at Sehore, MP. SSSUHE states it is still 'gearing up to participate in the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings and pursue accreditation from the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC)' — so SMSIMSR has no NIRF rank and no NAAC grade, honestly. What it does have: an NMC Letter of Permission of 27 April 2023 for 50 MBBS seats (Permitted, not yet recognised — the first batch graduates around 2027-28), a 100% pass in the first university examination it ever faced (MBBS Phase 1, 2024: all 49 candidates passed, 39 with distinction), roughly 148 named teaching faculty on its NMC 2025-26 faculty pro-forma across 25+ departments, 45 NMC-listed PG (MD/MS) seats in 16 specialities from AY 2025-26, a 360-bed free teaching hospital (SMSIMSR holds NABH Entry-Level Hospital accreditation PEH-2026-3255 and FOGSI A+++ High-Risk Pregnancy recognition), and a service-linked free-education model unique in Indian medical education. A second teaching block's ground-breaking was performed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah per the college's teaching-hospitals page.

FAQ

Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Chikballapur FAQs

Is MBBS at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences really free — what does 'free' actually mean?
Yes, with precise mechanics. The Government of India's PIB release for the PM's inauguration says SMSIMSR 'will provide medical education and quality medical care - completely free of cost - to all', and the college's homepage describes it as 'the World's first medical college entirely dedicated towards rural upliftment and universal healthcare'. How it works: (1) The 20 government-quota seats are 'Free of Charge — including tuition fee, hostel fee, food, books, uniform etc.' by the college's own regulation. (2) On the paid tiers (private Rs 22,00,000/yr, NRI and management Rs 45,00,000/yr per KEA), hostel, food, books and uniform are also free. (3) On ALL MBBS tiers, compulsory hostel residence and a mandatory five-year service bond (serving in the Trust's free/rural hospitals after graduation, with salary paid by the university) are conditions for admission — per the MBBS seat matrix 'Mandatory Rules' and the 2023 prospectus: 'required, as a condition for admission, to execute a social obligation service Affidavit to serve for FIVE years'. So on the paid tiers, tuition is the only out-of-pocket cost — and in return every student commits to five years of rural service. 'Free' is real and substantial (government-quota = zero everything; all tiers = zero hostel/food/books), but it comes with a mandatory post-graduation service commitment, not an unconditional zero price tag on tuition for every seat.
What is the MBBS fee at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences, Chikballapur?
KEA's 2025-26 medical fee notification (college code M093) lists: government quota Rs 1,41,621, private quota Rs 22,00,000, Others/management quota Rs 45,00,000 and NRI Rs 45,00,000 per year. The college's own seat-matrix regulation charges the same tuitions on the private/NRI/management tiers while making government seats entirely free of charge, and hostel, food, books and uniform are free on every tier. On all MBBS tiers, compulsory hostel residence and a mandatory five-year service bond (working after graduation in the Trust's free rural hospitals, with salary) are conditions for admission — so for paid-tier MBBS students, tuition is the main out-of-pocket cost, and the service commitment is mandatory, not optional.
What was the NEET cutoff for Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences?
In KEA's CET-2024 Round 2 publications (code M093): the government/state-quota General Merit seat closed at NEET-UG All-India rank 64,601, with 3A at 70,241, 3B at 72,248, GM-Rural at 72,370, 2A at 89,648, Category-1 at 91,236, GM-Kannada at 96,460, ST at 2,07,707 and SC at 2,11,989. In the separate private/Others publication, Private Open closed at 1,93,122, GMP at 2,51,033, GMPH at 3,33,713 and the Others/management seat at 6,60,558; the NRI column shows no allotment at all that round. These are the latest consolidated KEA cutoffs available (the 2025-26 fee notification is newer than the cutoff publication — years are labelled).
How many MBBS seats does Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences have?
50 per year — confirmed by the NMC's final UG seat matrix (50 for AY 2024-25 and 2025-26), the NMC pro-forma, and the college's own admitted lists (49 students in 2023-24, 50 in 2025-26). The Letter of Permission of April 2023 granted 50 seats, revising the 100 permitted in an earlier letter. The college's published split: government 40% (20 seats, free of charge), private 40% (20), NRI 15% (7) and 'Management or Other Quota' 5% (3) — every one KEA-allotted on NEET merit.
Is there management quota or direct admission at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences?
There is no buy-a-seat route. The college's admission page states: 'All the seats, including NRI/Management quota, are allotted by merit through online counselling conducted by Karnataka Examination Authority', and the NMC Letter of Permission conditions the college on 'Admitting students through common counselling only'. A 5% 'Management or Other Quota' tier (3 seats at the KEA-notified Rs 45,00,000/yr) exists in the seat matrix, but it filled through KEA counselling at NEET rank 6,60,558 (Others category, CET-2024 R2) like every other seat. Treat any agent promising a seat at SMSIMSR outside NEET/KEA with extreme caution — the institute's model is free, merit-based education, the opposite of seat-selling.
What is the service bond at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences?
MBBS and PG service obligations work differently. For MBBS: the five-year service bond is a mandatory condition for admission — all admitted students (on every fee tier) must execute a service Affidavit committing to work five years in the college's rural free hospitals after graduation, with salary paid by the university during service. The 2023 prospectus states they are 'required, as a condition for admission, to execute a social obligation service Affidavit to serve for FIVE years'. Compulsory hostel residence during the course is also mandatory for MBBS. Penalty for non-compliance: (a) if a student fails to complete the mandatory post-graduation service obligation: the 2023 prospectus states the MBBS penalty is Rs 3.6 crore plus hostel fees incurred; (b) if a student discontinues or is terminated from the MBBS course mid-way: Rs 1.8 crore plus hostel fees incurred (2023 prospectus). 'Four times the NRI quota fee' penalty is cited for MD/MS non-completion of service. For PG (MD/MS): the December-2025 PG scholarship-and-bond document states PG allotment/admission is 'not conditional upon acceptance of any scholarship, service bond, compulsory hostel residence, or post-qualification service obligation' — so PG students may pay the notified PG fees without a service bond. The Prashanthi Balamandira Trust offers a voluntary 100% scholarship (covering all PG fees) to selected PG students who elect the three-year service bond; this scholarship is PG-only.
Is Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences recognised by the NMC?
It is PERMITTED, not yet recognised. The NMC's Medical Assessment and Rating Board issued a (revised) Letter of Permission dated 27 April 2023 for 50 MBBS seats for AY 2023-24, and the NMC pro-forma carries the establishment LOP date 2023-04-27. Recognition of the MBBS degree is considered when the first batch — admitted 2023-24 — reaches its final examinations, around 2027-28; that is the normal trajectory for every new college. The college's own pages say 'RECOGNISED SEATS 50' and 'accredited by NMC'; the NMC record is what is stated here. Encouragingly, the first batch passed its first university examination (MBBS Phase 1, 2024) with a 100% pass rate.
Which university is Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences under — is it a deemed university?
It is a constituent college of Sri Sathya Sai University for Human Excellence (SSSUHE) — a State Private University established under Karnataka State Act 17 of 2018, founded by the Prashanthi Balamandira Trust in 2018. It is NOT a deemed university: admissions run through KEA (Karnataka's state counselling), not through MCC deemed-quota counselling. Do not confuse SSSUHE with the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning (SSSIHL) at Puttaparthi — a separate deemed university whose NAAC A++ grade some aggregators wrongly attach to this college — or with Sri Satya Sai University of Technology and Medical Sciences at Sehore, Madhya Pradesh, which is unrelated. Note also the place-names: the NMC LOP names the university at Navanihal, admission documents say Kalaburagi, and the medical campus itself is at Muddenahalli, Chikkaballapur.
Does Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences offer MD/MS courses, and what are the PG fees?
Yes — PG began in AY 2025-26 with 45 seats across 16 broad specialities (MD General Medicine 4, MS General Surgery 4, MS OBG 4, MD Anaesthesia 4, MD Paediatrics 3, MS Orthopaedics 3, MD Pathology 3, MD Microbiology 3, MD Community Medicine 3, and 2 each in Radio Diagnosis, Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Ophthalmology and ENT). The college's PG fee notification (01-12-2025) lists, per year: clinical subjects — government seats Rs 7,68,108 plus Rs 1,05,000 university fee, private Rs 26,05,000 to 51,05,000 by subject (MD General Medicine and Radiology highest at Rs 51,05,000), NRI/management Rs 41,05,000 to 86,05,000; para-clinical subjects — government Rs 1,92,000 plus university fee, private Rs 4,48,000; pre-clinical (Anatomy/Physiology/Biochemistry) — government Rs 96,015 plus university fee, private Rs 2,77,668. The same Trust 100% scholarship (with a 3-year service agreement) is offered to selected PG students. Selection is 'based on merit through NEET only', via KEA PG counselling. There are no DM/MCh super-speciality seats.
What are the hostel fees at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences?
There are none for MBBS students — and that is official, not a gap. Hostel residence is compulsory for all MBBS students on every fee tier (government, private, NRI, management), and the MBBS seat-matrix marks hostel, food, books and uniform 'absolutely free of charge' on every tier. Even students paying the private Rs 22,00,000/yr or NRI/management Rs 45,00,000/yr tuition tiers pay nothing for hostel or mess. The campus runs a residential gurukulam model at Sathya Sai Grama, Muddenahalli, with hostel rules binding all MBBS residents. For PG (MD/MS) students who elect the voluntary Trust scholarship, hostel and boarding are similarly free; PG students who do not elect the scholarship pay the notified PG fees and are not subject to mandatory hostel residence per the December-2025 PG bond agreement.
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences?
Per the college's admissions page: complete 17 years of age on or before 31 December of the admission year; pass Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English individually with a minimum of 50% in PCB taken together (40% for SC/ST/OBC); and qualify NEET-UG. Then register with KEA for UGNEET counselling within its schedule — every seat, including NRI and management, is allotted only through KEA online counselling by NEET rank. After allotment, originals (KEA allotment order, marks sheets, NEET documents, transfer/nativity/community certificates, fitness certificate, notarised undertakings) are submitted at the college.
Is Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences safe — are there anti-ragging committees?
Yes. The college's prospectus declares a 'ZERO TOLERANCE TO RAGGING' policy, quoting the Karnataka Education Act 1983 (ragging is a cognizable offence punishable with up to a year's imprisonment) and the applicable IPC sections; as an NMC-governed institution it maintains the mandated anti-ragging committee and squad and an internal committee for women's safety under the POSH framework, and the national UGC anti-ragging portal (antiragging.in) applies in addition. The campus is fully residential with wardens and a published code of conduct — discipline rules are notably strict, including campus-wide norms on conduct and silence.
