Government, private or trust-run and deemed-university colleges can follow different fee structures, seat categories and counselling routes. Separate them before comparing cutoffs.
Examples include BMCRI Bengaluru, KIMS Hubballi, Mysore Medical College, HIMS Hassan and other state institutions.
Examples include M S Ramaiah, KIMS Bengaluru, Vydehi, BGS, Dr B R Ambedkar and several Mangaluru colleges.

A college can have a large overall PG intake but only a few seats in the branch you actually want. Always compare the exact course rather than the total PG capacity.
Use this as a college-discovery shortlist. For exact 2026 course-wise intake, verify the latest NMC college-and-course data and the current KEA/MCC counselling seat matrix.

Students often mix approved intake, counselling availability and admission probability. We keep them separate so your choice list is based on the correct number.
The sanctioned annual college-course capacity is the starting point.
State and private-college counselling categories need separate interpretation.
Do not combine MCC seat pools with KEA figures when calculating options.
Seat count becomes useful only after adding branch demand, rank and category.
Use NMC to verify sanctioned college-course intake, KEA for Karnataka counselling availability and MCC for All India / deemed-university counselling updates.
NMC publishes college-wise and course-wise approved postgraduate intake, while KEA and MCC publish counselling seat matrices for their respective seat pools. The number a candidate can actually choose from can differ from the NMC-approved annual intake, so the latest official matrix should be checked before option entry.
NMC-approved intake is the sanctioned annual capacity for a college and course. KEA counselling seats are the seats made available through Karnataka counselling under the applicable quota and category structure. These numbers should not be treated as identical.
Karnataka has postgraduate seats across government, private or trust-run and deemed-university medical colleges. Well-known examples include Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute, Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences Hubballi, Mysore Medical College, M S Ramaiah Medical College, Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences, Vydehi Institute, KMC Manipal and JSS Medical College.
Deemed-university postgraduate medical seats are generally handled through MCC counselling rather than the Karnataka KEA state counselling pool. Candidates should verify the current MCC and institution-specific rules for 2026 before filling choices.
Major Karnataka PG medical colleges commonly offer branches such as MD General Medicine, MD Radiodiagnosis, MD Dermatology, MD Paediatrics, MD Anaesthesiology, MD Psychiatry, MS General Surgery, MS Obstetrics and Gynaecology, MS Orthopaedics, MS ENT and MS Ophthalmology, along with non-clinical specialties.
Private-college seat categories can include government, private or management and NRI-related categories depending on the institution and current counselling rules. Admission still has to follow NEET PG eligibility and the applicable centralised counselling process; candidates should verify the current KEA matrix and category rules.
Yes. Seat matrices can be revised when seats are added, withdrawn, converted or redistributed, and round-wise vacancies change after allotment and reporting. Always re-check the current official matrix before each option-entry deadline.
First shortlist colleges and branches you would genuinely accept. Then check the correct counselling authority, seat category, fees, bond conditions and previous cutoff movement. Put options in real preference order rather than sorting only by last year rank.
Compare college type, MD/MS branch, counselling route, rank and budget before option entry.
