4. Admission Process: Most private PG medical colleges in Karnataka admit students through NEET-PG scores, followed by a counseling process. Some seats may be available under management quota with different fee structures.
5. Accreditation: Ensure that the college and course you’re interested in are recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and other relevant authorities.
6. Infrastructure and Facilities: Consider factors like hospital attachment, research opportunities, and campus facilities when choosing a college.
7. Course Duration: Most PG medical courses (MD/MS) are three-year programs, while super-specialty courses (DM/MCh) typically last three years after MD/MS.
