BranchCategoryRoundOpeningClosing
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.

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.
Infrastructure & facilities
Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities
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). The teaching hospital, St. John's Medical College Hospital (commissioned 1975), is NABH-certified (certificate E-2024-0070) and NABL-lettered: the college's NMC bed-strength disclosure records 1,350 total beds (1,130 teaching), while the prospectus describes 1,800 beds — the disclosure figure leads. 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).

Research & rankings
Centres, patents, grants & MoU partners
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, Mc Master 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. Last published examination results (April-2021 disclosure): MBBS phase passes 79-95 percent across phases (2019-21 cycles), PG 95.31 percent (July 2020) and super-speciality 100 percent (September 2020); newer college-wide pass data is not published. The faculty roster spans the college's pre-, para- and clinical departments (hospital page: 327+ faculty members).

FAQ
St. Johns Medical College, Bangalore FAQs
What is the MBBS fee at St. John's Medical College, Bangalore?
Per the official MBBS Admission Bulletin 2026-27 fee chart: Rs 8,11,160 is payable to KEA at the time of admission — admission fee Rs 29,350, refundable deposits Rs 14,000, annual tuition Rs 6,75,000, other fees Rs 80,450 and RGUHS university fee Rs 12,360 (the bulletin warns not to pay the first-year fee to the college). From the second year the annual fee is Rs 7,58,050, paid to the college in two instalments. Tuition alone is Rs 6,75,000 per year — about Rs 30.4 lakh over the 4.5-year course — and the college publishes per-year figures rather than a single course total. The fee excludes hostel and mess, and the same fee applies to every admission category.
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.
How is MBBS admission to St. John's conducted? Has it joined KEA?
Yes — from the academic year 2026-27, counselling for MBBS admission to St. John's is conducted by the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA), per Government of India policy stated in the college's bulletin. Both Karnataka and non-Karnataka NEET-UG-qualified candidates must register for Karnataka CET. Selection is on NEET merit within the college's nine-category seat matrix, with category documents verified at KEA document verification. Until 2025 the college conducted its own NEET-based counselling.
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 NEET cutoff for St. John's Medical College?
There is no official KEA cutoff yet — 2026-27 is the college's first KEA-counselled year. The best official indicator is the college's published 2024 admission list (its own NEET-based counselling): open-merit admissions closed at All-India Rank 25,379 (open category) and 19,408 (general merit), Roman Catholic open merit closed at 75,752, RC Karnataka at 1,03,525, and reserved Catholic categories ranged from about 2.3 lakh (SC-origin) to 5.4 lakh (North-Indian RC), with the staff quota closing at 12,23,827. These are last-admitted ranks, not an official cutoff.
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 many PG (MD/MS) and super-speciality seats does St. John's have, and what are the PG fees?
24 MD/MS disciplines totalling 147 seats per the NMC matrix — including General Medicine 19, Anaesthesiology 14, Radio Diagnosis 12 and Orthopaedics 10, plus rarities like Family Medicine, Emergency Medicine and Transfusion Medicine — and 15 DM/MCh courses totalling 42 seats (the largest super-speciality set in our Bengaluru coverage, including DM Paediatric Nephrology and MCh Gynaecological Oncology). PG admission is via KEA PG-NEET. PG fees are tiered by course group: total payable at admission ranges from Rs 1,09,025 (pre-clinical MD, tuition-free) through Rs 7,59,025 (Pathology/Community Medicine) to Rs 12,80,025 (Dermatology, Radio Diagnosis, Orthopaedics, OBG — tuition Rs 11,75,000/year). PG students execute a one-year service bond (penalty Rs 5,00,000), waived for SJMC alumni who completed the rural service.
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. The college's awards page cites NIRF-2024 medical rank 28, though the NIRF portal was unreachable for verification.
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.
