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
NRI quota in 15 branches (91,931 – 1,32,637 in 2025), plus open-quota and management seats. See the NRI quota service.
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.

FAQs
Rank 1 Lakh to 2 Lakh — Questions

Yes. In KEA 2025, management seats closed after 2 lakh in 16 branches, private open-quota seats closed between 1 and 2 lakh in 10 branches and after 2 lakh in 8 more, and NRI seats closed between 1 and 1.33 lakh in 13 branches.
Which clinical branches are possible with a NEET PG rank of 1.5 lakh in Karnataka?
In 2025, private open quota closed after 1.5 lakh in Paediatrics (1,53,741), OBG (1,50,245), General Surgery (1,66,114), Ophthalmology (1,67,750), Anaesthesiology (1,76,820), Respiratory Medicine (1,54,544), Orthopaedics (2,02,825) and ENT (2,27,323). GMP closed at 1,65,579 in General Medicine. Management seats in most clinical branches closed after 2 lakh.
Can I get a government-quota PG seat in Karnataka with a rank between 1 and 2 lakh?
Only in some non-clinical branches, and mostly in the final rounds. Government quota (GM) closed at 1,21,147 in Hospital Administration and after 2 lakh in Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine, Biochemistry and Physiology. For SC candidates, government quota closed after 1 lakh in 11 branches.
Is management quota possible with a NEET PG rank of 1 to 2 lakh?
Yes. In 2025, management seats closed between 1,71,488 and 2,29,475 across 18 branches, so a rank of 1–2 lakh was within the management range in almost every branch. Listed management fees (2025 KEA matrix): General Medicine ₹65.15 lakh – ₹1.10 crore; Radiology ₹75.15 lakh – ₹1.60 crore; Dermatology ₹75.15 lakh – ₹1.50 crore; Paediatrics ₹60.15 lakh – ₹1.20 crore; OBG ₹60.15 lakh – ₹1.08 crore.
Which branch has the latest closing rank in Karnataka in 2025?
The last seats of any type closed at 2,29,968 (Community Medicine, government quota), 2,29,475 (OBG, management) and 2,29,111 (Microbiology, government quota). Most clinical management seats also closed after 2.2 lakh.
Can other-state students get PG in Karnataka with a rank of 1 to 2 lakh?
Yes, through private open quota and management seats in KEA counselling, and through deemed universities in MCC counselling. In 2025, open quota closed after 1 lakh in 18 of 22 branches and management in all 18 branches that published a management rank.
What fee should I expect with a rank between 1 and 2 lakh?
It depends on the seat type. Private open-quota and GMP seats pay the private fee of the college, NRI seats pay the NRI fee and management seats pay the management fee. For MD General Medicine, Radiology, Dermatology, Paediatrics and MS OBG, the 2025 KEA fee matrix lists about ₹7.83 lakh a year for a government-quota seat in most private colleges, ₹13,87,994 a year for a private seat at most private colleges, and management fees from ₹60.15 lakh to ₹1.60 crore.
Will the 1 to 2 lakh options be the same in 2026?
Not exactly. Private open quota closed later in 2025 than in 2024 in 20 of 22 branches — for example Orthopaedics moved from 1,10,546 to 2,02,825 — but ranks move with seats and candidates every year. Use 2025 as a range and keep back-up choices.
