NRI quota NEET PG cutoff in Karnataka — quick answer
The last NRI rank allotted in Karnataka in 2025 was 1,32,637 for MD General Medicine, 1,31,395 for Paediatrics, 1,30,076 for Dermatology, 1,13,847 for Radiology and 1,11,936 for OBG (all rounds, as compiled by Sartha). NRI seats close at much higher (weaker) ranks than other quotas because few candidates qualify and the fee is high — so for many NRI candidates, the sponsor documents and the budget decide the seat more than the rank.
2026-27 update — Basaveshwara Medical College (BMCH), Chitradurga: BMCH is now part of SJM University, which has set its own MD/MS fees for 2026-27.

* The 2024 labels for these two branches look mis-assigned in the source (the numbers match other branches’ allotments) — treat them with caution. The source cites both MCC and state allotment results, so a few 2025 values may include deemed-university seats.

How to Read It
What NRI Cutoffs Mean for Your Rank
Budget limits more than rank
With 19 NRI allotments in a full KEA round, the number of eligible candidates who can pay, not rank, often decides.
Unfilled NRI seats can change quota
In 2018 and 2024 KEA moved unfilled NRI seats to management at mop-up. KEA decides this by notice each year.
Verification comes first
A good rank does not help if the sponsor is not a first-degree relative — your NRI claim is rejected before allotment.

The last NRI General Medicine allotment was at 1,32,637 in 2025 and 1,60,024 in 2024 (MVJ, stray round).
Why are NRI cutoffs higher than management cutoffs?
Few candidates qualify as NRI or NRI-sponsored and can pay ₹60 lakh to ₹1.6 crore a year, so seats go to later ranks.
Is the Round 1 NRI cutoff the final cutoff?
No. Seats left after Round 1 are filled in Round 2, mop-up and stray rounds at higher ranks. For example, Father Muller General Medicine NRI went from 59,472 in Round 1 to 97,176 in the 2024 stray round.

Is there a 2025 college-wise NRI cutoff for Karnataka?
KEA publishes allotment lists, but a college-wise 2025 NRI cutoff we could verify is not yet available. We show 2024 college-wise ranks and 2025 branch-wise ranks.
