Admission to Manipal University's Kasturba Medical College (KMC) for the MBBS program is primarily determined by NEET exam ranks. The process involves three counseling rounds, with an additional mop-up round in Manipal for unplaced candidates. Key documents required include a passport, Aadhar card, and academic certificates. KMC is renowned for its international-standard infrastructure and facilities, and a dedicated faculty with a strong 20:1 student-to-faculty ratio. The MBBS program spans 4.5 years, with a total fee of approximately 45 lakhs, comprising an annual tuition fee of around 10.1 lakhs, along with hostel and mess fees.
Fees are subject to a 10% annual increase. NRI students pay significantly higher fees, totaling about 1.5 crores over the course duration. Scholarships are available based on NEET performance and university exam scores, with full scholarships for NEET AIR below 2000, and partial scholarships for ranks between 2000 and 5000. Students maintaining a 65% score in exams can also receive scholarships. Loans up to 15 lakhs are available from SBI at low interest rates.
The college offers a one-year internship with a stipend of Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 30,000 per month, providing practical experience in various hospital units. Post-internship, graduates often secure jobs in reputed hospitals or pursue further studies like MD/MS. While direct placements are uncommon in medical colleges, KMC's training and reputation facilitate job opportunities and self-employment through private clinics. The college supports international education and research, making it a top choice for aspiring medical professionals.
