KMC Manipal: 4 Answered Questions

Should I upgrade to KMC Manipal from KMC Mangalore?

Pratik ParikhLives in Bangalore

Here are some advantages of both, KMC Manipal and KMC Mangalore-

Advantages of KMC Mangalore-

  1. It is attached to three government hospitals- Lady Goschen (for OBG), Wenlock (for other specialties, except pediatrics), and RAPCC (for pediatrics). So you’ll get to see a variety of patients. You may work on 100+ cases during your OPD days. You’ll also get to see how differently government and private hospitals work.
  2. Mangalore has all the travel facilities- flight, bus, train, and even ship.
  3. You can access malls, good restaurants and other such luxuries in Mangalore.
  4. The Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations are worth waiting for.

Advantages of KMC Manipal-

  1. It has a state-of-the-art library.
  2. You’ll enjoy campus life, and meet students from different countries and streams (Engineering, Hotel Management, Visual Media, etc).
  3. KMC Manipal is a much bigger brand.

I really had an amazing time at KMC Mangalore. If you want more clinical exposure, stay at KMC Mangalore. The theory classes are at par in both. As a KMC student, if you are among the top 8 for the first 2 years, you’ll get the opportunity to attend a month-long externship in the Netherlands.

Can I get a management quota seat in KMC Manipal if my NEET score is 249?

Samarth DebKMC Manipal

I hate to say this but you won't be able to get a seat at KMC Manipal or Mangalore unless you have a pretty decent score and rank. Moreover, KMC Manipal has no management seats at all and the admission process is absolutely transparent. This is what sets it apart from other private medical colleges. Only the deserving candidates make it to KMC Manipal. 

There is a separate NRI quota wherein international students from the USA, Emirates, Singapore, Indonesia, and African countries apply separately.

So, there are no reserved category seats at KMC Manipal at all, so irrespective of your category, admissions are based solely on merit.
