Every MBBS seat requires NEET-UG qualification and allotment through official counselling. There is no college-side direct-admission route.

This page compares 83 medical colleges across 39 Karnataka cities that admit MBBS through NEET-UG — government and private KEA colleges, deemed universities on MCC counselling, and new private-university campuses — from Bangalore and Mangalore to Mysore, Belgaum, Hubballi-Dharwad, Davangere and Kolar.

Where a management-quota or deemed fee is officially notified, MBBS year-1 fees range from ₹12 L to ₹45 L across the colleges below. Every figure links back to a sourced college page — nothing here is an estimate.

Fee year is each college's own notification cycle — KEA-counselled colleges show the KEA-notified year (typically 2025-26), deemed and private-university colleges show their institutional notification year (often 2026-27). Figures across different years are not directly comparable; each college page links the dated official source.

Figures are the latest notified year recorded on each college page (2025-26 or 2026-27 depending on the college) and are revised annually — open the college page for the year, the full tier schedule and the official source document.

Cutoff / rank planning

Use the closing rank that matches your Karnataka MBBS route

Karnataka has no single MBBS cutoff. A usable closing-rank row must name the counselling authority, year, round, quota and category; a KEA category rank and an MCC deemed or All-India rank are not interchangeable. Use a sourced college row where available, then verify it against the official allotment result before option entry.

Karnataka MBBS Counselling & Document Checklist

Use this sequence before building an option list. It keeps exam eligibility, authority, documents and the dated fee notice in one evidence trail.

Start with the NEET record

Keep the NEET-UG application details, admit card, scorecard and All India Rank together. A qualifying NEET-UG result is mandatory for every government, private, management, NRI and deemed MBBS seat.

Choose KEA or MCC first

Use KEA for the relevant Karnataka state-counselled seat pools and MCC for All-India or deemed-university counselling. Check the route on the sourced college profile before registration or option entry.

Prepare the document set

Keep Class 10 and 12 records, identity and nationality proof, photographs, NEET documents and counselling registration records ready. Add domicile, category, minority or NRI evidence only where you are claiming that eligibility; the current authority bulletin controls the exact list.

Verify the dated fee and seat notice

Match the college, quota, fee year and seat pool against the current KEA or MCC notice before option entry or payment. Treat a missing figure as unverified here, never as a zero-fee seat.

Safety rule: no college can bypass NEET-UG or the official allotment process. Review the authority notices and source documents →

How medical seats & fees actually work in Karnataka

How KEA's 4-tier fees work

Private medical colleges that fill MBBS seats through KEA notify four fee tiers for the same seat: Government (G), Private (P), Management (Other/Q) and NRI. The degree and the NEET-UG requirement are identical across tiers — only the notified fee and the seat pool change. KEA publishes the college-wise fee matrix before each counselling year.

Deemed & university colleges: check the route

Deemed-to-be universities such as Kasturba (MAHE), Yenepoya, K S Hegde (Nitte) and Sri Devaraj Urs fill MBBS seats through MCC's all-India deemed-quota counselling, with fees set by the institution. But university status alone does not decide the route — several university-run colleges (Sapthagiri, PES, BGS, SDM, CDSIMER) also notify full KEA fee tiers and take state-counselled seats, and some deemed constituents keep a small KEA seat block. Each college page states the route that college actually uses.

Permitted vs Recognised (NMC LOP)

A new medical college starts on an NMC Letter of Permission — it is “permitted” to admit MBBS batches while inspections continue, and becomes “recognised” once its first batch graduates and clears final inspection. Several newer Karnataka colleges are still in the permitted phase; both phases admit through the same NEET counselling, but check each college's NMC status on its page.

Official notices, fee documents & verification

Every fee figure on this page is surfaced from a sourced college page on CollegeAndFees, which links its verified sources — KEA's college-wise UGNEET fee documents for state-counselled seats, and institutional or MCC disclosures for deemed-route colleges — and shows when each figure was last verified.

Frequently Asked Questions — Medical Colleges Karnataka

NEET, quotas and fee tiers — the questions students and parents ask most.

Do I need NEET-UG for MBBS admission in Karnataka medical colleges?
Yes. Every MBBS seat in every Karnataka medical college — government, private, management and NRI quota alike — requires a qualifying NEET-UG score. Seats are allotted through KEA (Karnataka state counselling) or MCC (All-India and deemed-university counselling). No college on this page can admit an MBBS student who has not qualified NEET-UG.
What does management quota mean in KEA medical counselling?
In Karnataka's KEA counselling, private medical colleges notify the same MBBS seat under four fee tiers: Government, Private, Management (listed as Other/Q in KEA documents) and NRI. A management-tier seat carries the same degree and the same NEET-UG requirement — what changes is the officially notified fee. Allotment still happens on NEET merit through KEA option entry.
How much do MBBS management quota fees cost in Karnataka?
Across the 44 colleges on this page with a notified management or deemed fee, MBBS year-1 figures range from ₹12 L to ₹45 L. Government-quota seats at the same KEA colleges are notified far lower. The table above shows each college's own figures, and every college page links the official source.
What does a government-quota MBBS seat cost in Karnataka?
Among the 44 colleges on this page with a notified government-quota figure, MBBS year-1 fees run from ₹47,400 to ₹7.64 L. At most KEA-listed private colleges the government-quota figure sits near the lower end of that range; a few colleges notify higher consolidated KEA fee blocks, and each college page shows the exact notified amount with its source.
Which Karnataka medical colleges admit through KEA, and which through MCC?
Colleges affiliated to RGUHS and most private-university colleges fill seats through KEA's state counselling and appear in KEA's college-wise fee matrix (their KEA code is shown on each card). Deemed-to-be-university colleges admit through MCC's all-India deemed counselling instead — and a few deemed constituents still run a small KEA government-quota seat block alongside. The route a college actually uses is stated on its page; check it before option entry.
Which deemed medical colleges in Karnataka are on this page?
RajaRajeswari Medical College & Hospital, Bangalore; Sri Siddhartha Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre, Bangalore; K S Hegde Medical Academy (KSHEMA), Mangalore; Kasturba Medical College, Mangalore; Yenepoya Medical College, Mangalore; Kasturba Medical College, Manipal; JSS Medical College, Mysore; Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Belgaum; KLE JGMM Medical College (JGMMMC), Hubballi; Sri Siddhartha Medical College, Tumkur; Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, Kolar. Deemed-route colleges admit MBBS through MCC's all-India deemed-quota counselling, with institution-notified fees — see each college page for its fee tiers and the official source.
Are the fee figures on this page official?
Each figure is taken from the college's own page on CollegeAndFees, where it is cited to the official source — typically the KEA college-wise fee notification PDF, MCC/institutional fee disclosures, or the institution's published fee structure. Fees are revised every academic year, so confirm the latest notification on the college page before making any payment.
Does this page list every medical college in Karnataka?
Not yet — it compares the 83 Karnataka medical colleges with fully sourced pages on CollegeAndFees, and grows as more pages are sourced and published. For the complete official lists, see KEA's seat matrix and fee notifications (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) and the NMC list of recognised colleges; the Directorate of Medical Education (dme.karnataka.gov.in) lists government colleges.
