Overview
About St. John's Medical College
St. Johns Medical College, Bangalore is a private medical college (religious minority institution) in Bengaluru, Karnataka. St. Johns Medical College, Bangalore offers 40 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 39 at postgraduate level. These include MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), MD General Medicine, MD Anaesthesiology, MD Radio Diagnosis and MS Orthopaedics, among others. The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 339 seats. Hostels for men and women operate on the Koramangala campus (the anti-ragging disclosure lists 20+ named hostel wardens across blocks). St. John's, established in 1963 by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India through the CBCI Society for Medical Education, is one of India's most distinctive medical schools: it has produced seven Rhodes Scholars (the most of any Indian medical college), was the first Indian medical school to teach ethics, and is one of ten NMC national nodal centres for medical education. Its St. John's Research Institute (2004) was the first stand-alone research institute on an Indian medical campus, is an IAEA Collaborating Centre (2019) and the only Indian institute IAEA-recognised for stable-isotope research, and collaborates with Harvard, McMaster and the University of California. The signature social-obligation programme has run since the MBBS batch of 1973: every student serves two years in one of about 360 designated underserved-area centres — roughly 250 graduates are serving at any time, about 70 percent fulfil the commitment, and about 20 percent stay on in underserved care. The faculty roster spans the college's pre-, para- and clinical departments (hospital page: 327+ faculty members). St. John's National Academy of Health Sciences occupies a roughly 140-acre wooded campus on Sarjapur Road, Koramangala — central Bengaluru (one official page says 132 acres; both figures are the college's own). Disclosed clinical volumes for 2025: 8,15,652 outpatient visits (average 2,235 a day) and 68,185 admissions. The campus houses the Zablocki Learning Centre and Maliakkal Library (about 44,000 textbooks, 200+ journals), the St. John's Research Institute (the first stand-alone research institute on an Indian medical campus and an IAEA Collaborating Centre), a chapel, hostels, and satellite facilities including SJMCH Brigade Meadows (2024) and a dedicated Geriatric Centre (2025).

St. John's has NO published official cutoff: until 2025 the college ran its own NEET-based counselling outside KEA (its KEA code M011 shows zero allotments in the CET-2024 cut-off publication), and the KEA artifacts for its first KEA-counselled year (2026-27) are not published yet. The table above is derived from the college's own NMC-disclosure list of all 150 students admitted in 2024, with the LAST-ADMITTED All-India NEET rank per college category — it shows where admission actually closed, but it is not an official KEA cutoff. Opening ranks that year: open merit (OPN) AIR 4,661, general merit (GMP) 12,736, RC open merit (RC8) 24,012, RC Karnataka (RC7) 71,092, staff quota (RC2) 2,26,964. Category codes are the college's own; the 2026-27 seat matrix differs from the 2024 category sizes. NEET-PG (MD/MS): St. John's PG seats are KEA-counselled — the PG rows are computed from KEA's official PG NEET-2025 MEDICAL (MD/MS) final seat-allotment lists (Round 1 published 29-11-2025, non-in-service Round 2 of 24-12-2025 and the non-in-service Round 3 mop-up of 26-02-2026); the college's PG course codes begin with M48, which is distinct from its UG code M011. Each PG row shows the last (highest) All India Rank allotted to that course and category in the final round in which it received an allotment — KEA's extended stray-round list of 11-03-2026 contains no St. John's rows. Category codes are reproduced exactly as KEA prints them (OPN, GMP, GMPH, RC1, RC2, RC3); KEA's lists carry no legend for them. For context, the college's PG Admission Bulletin 2025-26 seat matrix defines four PG categories totalling 131 seats — Roman Catholic religious nuns with SJMC-approved rural service (12), SJMC alumni with approved rural service (49), Roman Catholic Christians all-India open merit (21) and general open merit (49) — with unclaimed seats moving 1→2→3→4. All 24 NMC MD/MS disciplines received KEA allotments in 2025. MCC's NEET-PG 2025 counselling allotted no MD/MS seats here (St. John's is a private college whose MD/MS seats are state-counselled); the only MCC NEET-PG allotments on this campus are DNB-Quota NBEMS Palliative Medicine at St. John's Medical College Hospital, shown separately.

Scholarships
Scholarships
The MBBS bulletin states that 'some full-tuition fee and part-tuition fee scholarships are available on a means-cum-merit basis'; the PG bulletin adds that 'a limited number of scholarships are available for deserving candidates' through the Academic Section. The PG fee structure itself is steeply subsidised by category — religious sisters and SJMC alumni who completed the rural service pay far lower tuition than open-merit candidates. Scholarship recipients who later default on the social-obligation bond must refund the scholarships along with the Rs 25,00,000 bond penalty.

FAQ
St. John's Medical College FAQs
Is there a management quota or NRI quota at St. John's Medical College?
No. The college's own bulletin states 'There is no NRI/OCI quota in St. John's Medical College', and there is no management quota or paid seat tier either — every category pays the same subsidised fee of Rs 6,75,000 tuition a year. St. John's deliberately subsidises the MBBS fee in exchange for a compulsory two-year social-obligation service bond. Be wary of any agent claiming to arrange a management or NRI seat here — no such seats exist.
What is the seat matrix at St. John's Medical College?
150 MBBS seats in nine categories (2026-27 bulletin): Karnataka State Open Merit 35, All-India General Open Merit 10, institutional staff 10, and six Roman Catholic Christian categories totalling 95 — religious nuns/priests 25, RC of Karnataka 25, RC All-India open merit 15, RC tribals 10, RC of Scheduled Caste origin 10 and native North-Indian RC 10. Any vacant reserved seat moves to the RC All-India open-merit category. 45 seats are thus open to candidates of any background.
What is the rural service bond at St. John's Medical College?
Every MBBS student must, 'as a precondition for admission, execute a social obligation service bond to serve for two years in one of the designated hospitals or health centres in a medically underserved area of the country' (bulletin wording). The college subsidises the MBBS fee in exchange. Defaulting on the bond carries a penalty of Rs 25,00,000, and scholarship recipients must additionally refund their scholarships. The programme has run since the batch of 1973, with about 360 designated centres; refundable deposits are returned after the bond is completed.
How do DM/MCh admissions work at St. John's, and what are the fees?
Super-speciality (DM/MCh) admission is through MCC central counselling on NEET-SS. The SS fee at admission is Rs 3,40,825 (tuition Rs 2,00,000 a year plus other fees and deposits). DM/MCh candidates execute a two-year bond to serve at St. John's after the course — with the post and salary of Assistant Professor during the bond — and the bond penalty is Rs 75,00,000. The college also runs NBE-regulated DrNB and FNB programmes with fees per NBE guidelines.
What stipend do interns and residents get at St. John's Medical College?
Per the Dean-signed stipend disclosure of September 2025: MBBS interns receive Rs 20,000 per month from the college (the disclosure also shows the Karnataka government-college figure of Rs 30,000 for comparison). PG residents receive Rs 56,250 / Rs 62,500 / Rs 68,750 per month in years 1/2/3, and super-speciality senior residents Rs 68,750 / Rs 75,000 / Rs 81,250 — the SS bulletin confirms the senior-resident figures.
Is St. John's Medical College recognised, and which university is it under?
Yes — MBBS is NMC-recognised (a long-recognised college; the intake rose from 60 to 150 from 2020-21 per the NMC record) and the college is affiliated to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Karnataka. It is a not-for-profit Roman Catholic religious-minority institution established in 1963 by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of India through the CBCI Society for Medical Education. John's Medical College, Bengaluru, score 58.03, rank 28).
What is the MBBS pass percentage at St. John's Medical College?
The latest results the college has published date to its April-2021 disclosure: I-MBBS 82.66 percent and II-MBBS 79.39 percent (February/March 2021); December-2019 cycle II-MBBS 81.33 percent, III-MBBS Part-I 86.39 percent and Part-II 94.91 percent; PG examinations July-2020, 95.31 percent; super-speciality September-2020, 100 percent. Newer college-wide pass percentages are not published — RGUHS releases per-exam results, not college aggregates.
Is St. John's Medical College safe — are there anti-ragging and harassment committees?
Yes. The anti-ragging committee is chaired by the Director with the Dean, vice-deans, registrar, more than twenty named hostel wardens, and parent and student representatives; ragging is a cognizable offence under the Karnataka Education Act, and the national anti-ragging helpline and portal (antiragging.in) also apply. A 12-member Internal Complaints Committee (POSH) with an external expert and a named presiding officer handles sexual-harassment complaints under the CBCI Society's published policy, and a student grievance-redressal cell with a published policy and appeal route to the Dean is in place.
What are the hostel fees at St. John's Medical College?
The college states that the annual MBBS fee 'does not include Hostel and Mess fees', but it does not publish a hostel or mess fee table in the admission bulletin or anywhere on its official site — so no figure is asserted here. Hostels for men and women operate on the Koramangala campus with a warden system; confirm current rates with the college at admission.
What is St. John's Medical College known for?
India's leading Catholic medical school: seven Rhodes Scholars (the most of any Indian medical college), the first Indian medical school to teach ethics, one of ten NMC national nodal centres for medical education, and the pioneering two-year rural-service bond running since 1973 (~360 designated centres; about 70 percent of graduates fulfil it and roughly 20 percent continue serving the underserved). Its 140-acre Koramangala campus houses a 1,350-bed teaching hospital and the St. John's Research Institute — an IAEA Collaborating Centre partnered with Harvard, Mc Master and the University of California. Its cornerstone was blessed by Pope Paul VI in 1964 and the college celebrated its Diamond Jubilee in 2023.
