Cutoffs · NEET-UG
SMSIMSR NEET-UG cutoffs
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.

No management quota
at SMSIMSR
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.

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.

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 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
SMSIMSR FAQs
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. 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.
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.
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.
What is the MBBS pass percentage and internship stipend at Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences?
Pass rate: in the first university examination the college ever faced — MBBS Phase 1, 2024 — all 49 candidates appeared and all 49 passed: a 100% pass percentage, with 39 distinctions and 10 first classes, per the college's NMC examination-results disclosure. No later phase has results yet because no senior batch exists. Internship stipend: not published anywhere official — the first batch (2023-24) only reaches internship around 2027-28, so no stipend figure exists yet for this college.
What is Sri Madhusudan Sai Institute of Medical Sciences known for?
Being a totally-free private medical college model — inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 25 March 2023 (Government of India PIB release: 'SMSIMSR will provide medical education and quality medical care - completely free of cost - to all') and described on its own homepage as 'the World's first medical college entirely dedicated towards rural upliftment and universal healthcare'. Its other distinctives: the rural 'gurukulam' model (every student lives free of charge on the Sathya Sai Grama campus), the 360-bed Sri Sathya Sai Sarla Memorial Hospital that has treated every patient free since 2018 (SMSIMSR holds NABH Entry-Level Hospital accreditation PEH-2026-3255; Obstetrics is FOGSI A+++ HRP centre), the voluntary service-linked Trust scholarship (PG/MD/MS only) that covers all PG fees for selected postgraduate students who elect the 3-year service bond, a 100% first-attempt Phase-1 pass record, and its place under SSSUHE — the Karnataka state private university established in 2019 under Karnataka State Act 17 of 2018, with Sadguru Sri Madhusudan Sai as Chancellor.
