Admission to the Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences (KAIMS) is based on the NEET UG exam merit list, with 150 students admitted annually. The college allocates 85% of its seats to state domicile candidates and 15% to the All India Quota (AIQ). The admission process involves online counseling by both state and central government bodies. The college highlights its competent, experienced faculty, with over 100 practicing doctor lecturers. The curriculum follows the National Medical Council's guidelines, focusing on clinical exposure and practical learning.

The annual tuition fee is approximately Rs 70,000, significantly lower than private institutions, with reduced fees for SC/ST students and financial aid available. Hostel facilities cost around Rs 12,000 annually, plus mess charges of Rs 3,000 monthly. The college offers a compulsory 12-month internship with a stipend of about Rs 30,000 per month. While KAIMS does not provide direct campus placements, the internship offers practical clinical experience. Research opportunities exist through ICMR and RGUHS, and various scholarships support students financially, though some face challenges with timely disbursement.

Financial support is enhanced for SC/ST students and those with lower incomes, though non-disbursement issues can cause difficulties.
