Your Route
Options for Every Type of Student
Other-state students
Private open quota and management seats through KEA (open quota closed after 1.5 lakh in 16 branches in 2025), and deemed universities through MCC. Karnataka government-quota seats are not open to you.
NRI and sponsored students

Before You Decide
Three Things to Check With a Rank Above 1 Lakh
The full 3-year cost
A ₹60 lakh – ₹1.60 crore yearly management fee becomes a very large 3-year commitment. Get the full fee, hostel and bond terms in writing before you lock a choice.
Only through counselling
Every seat on this page is allotted by KEA (or MCC for deemed universities) on NEET PG merit. Never pay for a “direct” seat outside counselling. See the management quota service.
Late rounds decide it
Many seats on this page were allotted in the final KEA rounds. Register for every round you can, list every seat type you qualify for, and keep MCC deemed seats as a parallel plan.
