2. There would be a separate refundable / adjustable security deposit of approximately 2 lakh to register for counseling of such seats apart from a Non-refundable registration amount of Rs 5000.

The students who are opting for NRI Seats have to pay same registration amount.

Fee Structure Quotas of different medical colleges in Karnataka

The Fee structure in private medical colleges in Karnataka has been broadly differentiated into four categories.

MBBS Admission in Bangalore: Government Quota

Such  Fee structure is applicable to state domicile medical aspirants who has secured a very high ranking in NEET and has been able to bag a seat according to state ranking. The fee is comparatively very lesser and only high ranking meritorious students of Karnataka domicile are eligible to get such seats.

MBBS Admission in Bangalore: Private Quota

Students from all over India can apply for such seats through KEA Counselling. Such seats are also called open seats since Karnataka state invites application of meritorious students from all over India to participate in such counseling.

The fee structure for such seats is lowest in entire India private medical colleges. So, the students who are not lucky enough to bag government seats and have missed it due to a small margin has a very high chance to get lucky under this category of seats in private medical colleges in Bangalore in state of Karnataka.

The competition for this category seats are relatively higher because of its lower fee structure and quality medical colleges in Karnataka. (The fee in “P” quota seats are lower than any Deemed universities in India and so the students before opting for Deemed universities, try for colleges in Karnataka)

MBBS Admission in Bangalore Private Quota NRI Quota

Fifteen percentage of the total  seats (15%) in any private medical colleges are reserved for the NRI category students. You need not necessarily need to be a NRI to opt for such category of seats, however there are certain guidelines and formalities to be followed. Such guidelines would be mentioned clearly in the respective website of the respective counseling authority.

Most major thing to take care while opting for such kind of seats are ones affordability. Since the fee structure for such seats are approximately 24 lakh per annum to 45 lakh per annum. You have to be well prepared and choose the colleges wisely. There would be many private medical colleges in Karnataka who has kept their NRI Fee exceptionally high , whereas the quality of education is not at par the standard.

MBBS Admission in Bangalore: Q quota

The Q quota seats constitute Five percent (5%) of the total intake of colleges. The fee structure would be same as of NRI quota, however the only difference is , a Non-NRI student can also opt for such seats if he can afford such fee structure.

Point to note- The Leftover unfilled NRI seats gets converted to Q quota seats in the last round of counselling.

KEA Counselling  process First step to stray vacancy round

After having a through understanding of the basic things that I have mentioned above , I would like to guide you on the counseling process for MBBS admission in private medical colleges in Bangalore. It is a very crucial and most important step.

(Students who want to opt for NRI Quota seats can get themselves converted into NRI Category with the help of supporting documents hosted in their official website. It is advised to go through the fee structure hosted in official website thoroughly for each college. The list of students whose documents has been  accepted and granted permission to opt medical seats in NRI category would be hosted in the website)

At First the student has to register in KEA official website by paying the registration fees and refundable security deposit ( if any ) to participate in the counseling procedure. Then he has to upload the necessary documents in the KEA portal in PDF format for the document verification.

The date for the upload of lists of students who got verified would be hosted in Kea website. After this the student has to download the verification slip. This slip contains secret key , this key required to do the option entry. While doing the option entry a student would be able to opt for the colleges as per the fee structure mentioned.

The fee structure of each quota seats such as P,Q ,NRI quota’s would be mentioned on side of each college, so that a student doesn’t choose wrong options /colleges ,he is not interested in.

After this step , there would be announcement for results of first round. The procedure for payment of fees with last date and the procedure for joining/reporting to the college with last date would be mentioned in the calendar of events hosted in kea website. The second round of counseling and the mop up round would continue in same manner.

The document verification for the state domicile students or the students claiming any category  had to get their documents verified in the KEA office physically.

Also, the students claiming NRI Ward has to physically attend the verification on the designated date as hosted by KEA.

(Counseling for Students who want to opt for Private Medical Deemed Universities in Karnataka would be done by MCC)

Stray Vacancy Round counseling process

Stray Vacancy round is a most complex online counseling process of direct medical college admission. In this round the KEA authorities conduct counseling based on the list of students  who have been not allotted any seats in any round of counseling.

Lots of students became ineligible / Non Eligible to participate in stray vacancy round because of not doing the option entry wisely. The name of students would not be reflected in the unallotted list of KEA. (This could be mainly due to either of two reasons.

Firstly, for either opting the seats and not taking it when been allotted and Secondly, by not doing option entry in any of the three round of counseling procedure). So, if a student is looking for taking seats in stray vacancy round then also he has to go through the counseling process very thoroughly. Else, he loses the opportunity.

Direct Admission in Stray Vacancy round and the requirement

After the mop up round is conducted , there are always some seats in lots of private medical colleges which are left vacant. These seats are mainly of NRI Quota seats or Q quota seats. These seats are left vacant because of mainly their very high fee structure. Approximately , the fee structure of such seats which are left vacant for MBBS would be around 35 lakh pa – 45 lakh pa.

So, counseling process for these unallotted / Not Reported seats are been taken up online by the KEA authorities. These seats are been passed on to the meritorious students based on the NEET score and priority of options filled by KEA . It is advisable for a parent to get in touch with a good education consultant who is well updated with the entire process and well informed.

Since, this is a very complex process , either a parent can keep himself updated with information of all the private medical colleges or can get in touch with a good and reliable consultant who can guide you on it. This is the best process to get a seat at a lower fee in a good medical college as well.

(The stray vacancy counseling process for admission in MBBS would be same for Private Medical Deemed universities in all over India as well )

Choosing the Cheapest Medical college without donation as per NEET Rank

It is very competitive for students to get seats allotted in private medical colleges because of their low rank. Students in India has the liberty to choose from various medical colleges.

However, some students who has secured a lower rank and still wants to study MBBS only in Karnataka but cannot afford the higher NRI or Q quota Fee can wait till stray vacancy round to check if some college has reduced its fee structure due to vacancy. However, this is only advisable to be done under the supervision of some specialist because a student might loose a year due to wrong guidance or information.

When a student or a parent is looking for a cheapest and good medical college he should keep his college options open. If, a student keeps his option open, there is less likely of him to be on a risky position. Just Eligible student should keep a budget of minimum 20 Lakh pa – 24 Lakh pa as tuition fee for 5 years.

We recommend to take the help of professional guidance in this matter who knows about almost all the institutes in Karnataka and can guide you the best.
