MBBS Admission in Bangalore 2023 Management or NRI Quota

Dear NEET Aspirants and Parents, In this blog I will give you a realistic idea on how to take MBBS admission in Bangalore and the correct steps while choosing the best Private Medical College as per your budget in Bangalore.

We will start with Bengaluru and then move to colleges in other parts or the Location of the state. You can also go through my detailed article about MBBS Admission in India, to get a general idea about the admission procedures in India.

This blog post will help you to choose the best medical college in Karnataka as per your budget, preference, and Location.

I will be telling you all the information about MBBS admission in Bangalore, starting from the basics.


MBBS Admission in Bangalore Guidance

Eligibility for MBBS Admission in Bangalore

The main and foremost Eligibility criteria for a student to study MBBS is NEET-UG qualification. A student must have qualified for NEET-UG by securing minimum qualifying marks.

Remember, the category reservation benefit is only applicable to state-domicile students. Students from other states who are eligible in NEET-UG in any reserved category such as OBC/ST/SC can opt for DEEMED UNIVERSITY Medical Colleges only.

The candidate must also attend the counseling conducted by KEA or Karnataka Education Authority without fail.

Procedure For Taking MBBS Admission in Bengaluru

KEA Counseling 2023

The First step after qualifying for NEET-UG is to get register online with the Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA).

The KEA website will host the calendar of events on its official website. The calendar of events will notify the dates for Registration, Document verification, option entry, Fee Payment, uploading of Admission order letter, and last date for online and offline reporting to the college.

There would be a separate refundable/adjustable security deposit of approximately 1 lakh to 2 lakhs to register for KEA counseling of such seats apart from a Non-Refundable registration amount of Rs 500 to Rs 7000.

MCC Counseling 2023 Update

  • OCI candidates can even take up UR category management seats, unlike last year, where they had to select only NRI seats.
  • The fourth round, i.e., the stray vacancy round, which used to be conducted at the college level offline, will be conducted online via MCC counseling.
  • Now, registration will be allowed for the fourth round, i.e., the Mop-Up Stray Vacancy round.
  • The third round, called the Mop-up round in 2022, will now be called the Third Counseling Round, and the stray vacancy round will now be the Mop-Up Stray Vacancy Round.

Procedure For applying for the Private Medical Colleges in Karnataka under Deemed University

For the Deemed Universities, a student has to apply through MCC.  This authority is responsible for counseling MBBS seats of the private DEEMED Universities all over India.

There would be a separate refundable/adjustable security deposit of approximately 1 lakh to 2 lahks to register for counseling of such seats apart from a Non-refundable registration amount of Rs 1000 to Rs 5000.

The students who are opting for NRI Seats might have to pay a higher registration amount.

Fee Structure Quotas of different Medical Colleges in Bangalore

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

  • Government Quota – Such  Fee structure is applicable to state-domicile medical aspirants who have secured a very high ranking in NEET and have been able to bag a seat according to state ranking. The fee is comparatively very low, and only high-ranking meritious students of Karnataka domicile are eligible for such seats.
  • 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 the application of meritorious students from all over India to participate in such counseling. The fee structure for such seats is the lowest in entire Indian private medical colleges. So, the students who are not lucky enough to bag government seats and have missed them due to a small margin have a very high chance of getting lucky under this category of seats in private medical colleges in Karnataka. The competition for this category seats is 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 so the students, before opting for Deemed universities, try for colleges in Karnataka).
  • NRI Quota – Fifteen percent of the total seats (15%) in any private medical colleges are reserved for the NRI category students. You need not necessarily need to be an NRI to opt for such a category of seats. However, there are certain guidelines and formalities to be followed. Such guidelines would be mentioned clearly on the respective website of the respective counseling authority.

The most major thing to take care of while opting for such kinds of seats is one’s affordability. Since the fee structure for such seats is approximately 35 lakh per annum to 50 lakh per annum. You have to be well prepared and choose the colleges wisely.

Many private medical colleges in Bangalore have kept their NRI fees exceptionally high, whereas the quality of education is not at par with the standard.

  • Q quota – These quota seats constitute Five percent (5%) of the total intake of colleges. The fee structure would be the 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 a fee structure.

KEA Counselling Process First Step to Stray Vacancy Round

After having a thorough understanding of the basic things that I have mentioned above, I would like to guide you on the counseling process. It is a very crucial and important step.

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

First, the student has to register on the 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 document verification.

The date for the upload of lists of students who got verified would be hosted on the KEA website. After this, the student has to download the verification slip. This slip contains a secret key, which is 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 seat, such as P, Q, and NRI quotas, would be mentioned on the side of each college so that a student doesn’t choose the wrong options /colleges he is not interested in.

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

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

STRAY Vacancy Round counseling process

The stray Vacancy round is the most complex offline counseling process of direct medical college admission. In this round, the college authorities conduct counseling based on the list of students who have not been allotted any seats in any round of counseling.

This list is forwarded to them by KEA. Lots of students became ineligible / Non-Eligible to participate in the stray vacancy round because of not doing the option entry wisely.

The names 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 for the seats and not taking it when allotted and Secondly, by not doing option entry in any of the three rounds of counseling procedures).

So, if a student is looking to take seats in a stray vacancy round, then he also 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 that are left vacant. These seats are mainly 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, the counseling process for these unallotted / Not Reported seats has been taken up directly by the college authorities.

These seats are passed on to the meritorious students based on the list provided to them by KEA at much lower fees by the college authorities. So, the students who cannot afford such higher fees can wait till the stray vacancy round and see if they get lucky.

However, since this takes place at the last moment or the last date of the admission process, 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 about 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 direct admission in MBBS would be the same for Private Medical Deemed universities in all over India as well)

The demand for this college is very high even in NRI and Q quota fee structure seats, and there is a very less likely chance to get any seats in stray vacancy round even though the fee structure would be exceptionally high.

2. KIMS (Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences)

This Medical College is situated around just a 3 km radius of MG Road, was established in the year 1980, and has an intake of UG-150 and PG-111. KIMS is the second most preferred option for students coming to Bangalore to study MBBS.

The campus has a super specialty 900-bed hospital, which is always full of patients. It’s a pride of the Vokkaligara Community, so they have been able to maintain that high standard of medical education.

The students passing out from this college always carry a brand name with them. Since this college is also always the top priority of students, the competition for seats is very high. The campus also hosts a most reputed private dental college called VS Dental College and a private engineering college called Bangalore Institute of Technology.

Fee Structure Range for MBBS of Private Medical Colleges in Bangalore

As I have explained the different quota seat fee structures above in this post for the private medical colleges under RGUHS and Private Deemed Universities, In this part of the article, I will give you an approximate range of the Fee in Figures.

All the private medical colleges in Bangalore keep a very similar fee structure in their NRI and Q quota seats. The difference gap among different medical colleges is very low. This is mainly because of the Location, Bangalore.

The Fee structure would be in the range of 1.15 Cr to 1.85 Cr when calculated for 4.5 years, depending upon the colleges. This Fee is only the tuition fee, and the other fees involved would be the Misc fee that every college charges and the Hostel Fee.

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 have the liberty to choose from various medical colleges. However, some students who have secured a lower rank and still want to study MBBS only in Karnataka but cannot afford the higher NRI or Q quota Fee can wait till the stray vacancy round to check if some college has reduced their fee structure due to vacancy.

However, this is only advisable to be done under the supervision of some specialists because a student might lose a year due to wrong guidance or information. When a student or a parent is looking for the cheapest and best medical college, he should keep his college options open.

If a student keeps his options open, she is less likely to be in a risky position. Just an Eligible student should keep a budget of a minimum of 20 Lakh pa – 24 Lakh pa as tuition fee for 5 years. We recommend taking the help of professional guidance in this matter who knows about almost all the institutes in Karnataka and can guide you the best.

  3. Dear Sir,

    I am a student from Andhra Pradesh. I would like to take part in the UG NEET-2021 Medical Counselling for Karnataka as a Non-Karnataka candidate. My father is an NRI working in the Middle East for the past 15 years. Whereas I have studied in India from 1st class to 12th class and I want to take part in the NRI counselling at KEA. Will I be eligible to take part??

    As per the attached eligibility criteria for NRI candidate in 2020, I qualify all the requirements and my father has all the supporting documents. But as I have studied in India from 1st class the point m- (m. Candidate’s study certificate for having studied outside India where applicable for the qualifying examination) is contradictory. Will I still be eligible as an NRI candidate??
