A trust-run private medical college at Chiksi, Paliganj, on SH-69 about 50 km west of Patna. Its MBBS intake went from 100 seats to 150 between AY 2024-25 and AY 2025-26, and it has no All-India Quota — every seat is allotted by BCECEB through UGMAC. This page works from two documents: the college’s own fee letter to BCECEB and the NMC seat matrix.
By Krishna Pandey, Founder & Lead Counsellor
✅ How we source the numbers on this page: the fee heads come from the college’s signed submission to the Controller of Examinations, BCECEB (Ref HMCH/563/25, 12 August 2025); the seat counts from the NMC’s AY 2025-26 seat matrix; the campus and hospital description from hmcedu.in. No aggregator is used. Anything we could not source from one of those is written “not listed” rather than estimated.
| Parameter | Detail (2026) |
|---|---|
| Type | Private Medical College (BUHS-affiliated) |
| Established | 2024 |
| Location | Paliganj, Patna, Bihar |
| Affiliation | Bihar University of Health Sciences (BUHS), Patna |
| MBBS seats | 150 for AY 2025-26 (100 in AY 2024-25) — NMC seat matrix, 29 Oct 2025 |
| Admission | NEET-UG → Bihar BCECEB / UGMAC (state-quota + management + NRI) |

| NEET cutoff | Not listed — no All-India Quota, so no MCC closing rank exists; BCECEB publishes UGMAC closing ranks each round |
| Teaching hospital | ~900-bed teaching hospital |
Two facts frame everything else about this college. It is new — its first MBBS intake was AY 2024-25, so the oldest students on campus are in their second year — and it is state-counselling only, absent from the MCC seat matrix that carries All-India-Quota and deemed seats. Together those mean there is no completed-cycle track record here and no MCC allotment file to read a closing rank from, which is why most of what is published about this college online is estimate rather than record.
What is on record: the NMC sanctioned 100 seats for AY 2024-25 and 150 for AY 2025-26; the college is affiliated to Bihar University of Health Sciences and states on its own letterhead that it is permitted by the NMC and approved by the Health Department, Government of Bihar; and it has filed a fee schedule with BCECEB that this page reproduces in full below, including the bond requirement most summaries leave out.
In one line: qualify NEET-UG 2026, then work Bihar’s BCECEB (UGMAC) counselling — there is no MCC round to plan for at this college.
Himalaya Medical College does not appear in the MCC NEET-UG 2026 seat matrix, which lists every institute participating in All-India-Quota, central, deemed and NRI counselling run by the Medical Counselling Committee. So unlike Bihar’s government colleges, this college has no 15% All-India Quota and no deemed route: every one of its seats is allotted by BCECEB through UGMAC, and a candidate who only registers with MCC cannot reach it.
The registration, option-entry, allotment and reporting mechanics are identical for every Bihar private college and are set out in full in our AIQ vs state-quota counselling guide — we do not repeat them here. What is specific to this college is on its own letterhead: Permitted by NMC, Govt. of India · Approved by Health Department, Govt. of Bihar · Affiliated to Bihar University of Health Sciences, and a fee schedule the college files with the Controller of Examinations, BCECEB, cycle by cycle (reproduced below).
✔ Read the fee letter, not the agent: the college’s own BCECEB submission is a public PDF on hmcedu.in. Every seat is a NEET-merit UGMAC allotment at the fee in that letter — never pay above it, and never pay cash to an individual.
In one line: for session 2025-26 the college filed ₹15,50,000 a year tuition under one head — “General & Minority” — and US$27,000 a year for NRI. There is no separate cheap state-quota tuition in that letter.
| Fee head | General & Minority | NRI | How to read this row |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tuition fee (per annum) | ₹15,50,000 | US$27,000 | The letter charges tuition annually for 4.5 years, not five. |
| Hostel (without AC) & mess (per annum) | ₹3,15,000 | ₹3,15,000 | Read “without AC” literally. Charged for 5½ years or the duration of stay, whichever is later — a repeated year adds another year of hostel charge. |
| Admission fee | ₹51,000 | ₹51,000 | One time. |
| Refundable security deposit | ₹1,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 | One time, and it comes back — refunded on completion of internship after deducting damages/dues. |
| Payable at admission, year 1 | ₹20,16,000 | US$27,000 + ₹4,66,000 | Arithmetic on the four rows above — ₹1,00,000 of it is the refundable deposit. NRI tuition is payable in USD or its rupee equivalent at the conversion rate on the date of payment. |
Official source: Himalaya Medical College & Hospital, letter Ref HMCH/563/25 dated 12 August 2025 to the Controller of Examinations, Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board — “Submission of Fee Structure and Bank Details for UGMAC-2025 Admission to 1st Year MBBS Course for the session 2025-26”, filed against BCECEB advertisement No. BCECEB(UGMAC)-2025/06 dated 12.08.2025 and the interim order of the Hon’ble Patna High Court in CWJC No. 12651/2025 dated 05.08.2025 (hmcedu.in/pdf/Fee Structure HMCH 2025-26.pdf), captured 23 August 2026.
Why two different fee letters sit on the college’s own website — and which one governs. Download both and you will find figures that differ by more than double, which is exactly the trap this page exists to close. The letter filed 4 August 2025 (Ref HMCH/545/25) prints ₹31,00,000 a year and is headed “Fee details for 50% paid seats”, because at that moment the Health Department, Government of Bihar had ordered (letter No. 734(1) dated 29-07-2025) that the first 50% of seats in private medical colleges be charged at government-college rates. The letter filed 12 August 2025 (Ref HMCH/563/25) prints ₹15,50,000 a year for General & Minority with no 50/50 split, cites the Patna High Court interim order of 05.08.2025, and says in its own first note: “Our earlier submitted fee structure stand modified to this extent.” The later letter is the operative one. Note that the file named “Revised Fee Structure” on the college website is the earlier letter — go by the Ref number and the date on the page, not the filename.
The bond that is not in the fee table. Note 7 of the 12 August letter requires the candidate, at the time of admission and while paying only the first year, to furnish a Bank Guarantee or Bond covering tuition and development fees for the remaining period of the course. On the ₹15,50,000 figure that is a commitment of roughly ₹54 lakh of future tuition secured up front, over and above the ₹20.16 lakh cash. Families who budget only for year one are the ones caught out at the reporting desk.
Evidence note: these figures are the session 2025-26 filing made for UGMAC-2025. The same letter states the fee is subject to further orders of the Supreme Court or the Patna High Court and may change on an order of the Educational Fee Fixation Committee, Bihar. Check the college’s 2026-27 letter on hmcedu.in and the BCECEB fee annexure for the current cycle before you pay anything. The quota-wise fee split for 2026-27 is not listed yet.
In one line: the regulator’s own matrix shows this college going from 100 MBBS seats in AY 2024-25 to 150 in AY 2025-26 — the “150 seats” quoted everywhere is the second-year figure, not the founding intake.
| Academic year | Sanctioned MBBS seats | How to read this row |
|---|---|---|
| AY 2024-25 | 100 | The first MBBS intake. Anyone quoting a longer track record for this college is quoting the trust, not the medical college. |
| AY 2025-26 | 150 | The latest intake the NMC has published. An AY 2026-27 matrix had not been issued when this page was checked, so treat 150 as the current sanctioned figure and reconfirm at counselling. |
Official source: National Medical Commission, Medical Assessment & Rating Board — “SEAT MATRIX AS ON 29.10.2025 (MBBS) FOR THE AY 2025-26”, notice N-15029/09/2025-UGMEB dated 29 October 2025, Bihar row 65: “Himalaya Medical College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar”, management “Trust” (nmc.org.in, Latest News → merged seat-matrix PDF), captured 23 August 2026.
The quota-wise split of those 150 seats — how many go to the Bihar state-quota merit list, how many to the paid/management head and how many to NRI — is not listed in any document we hold. BCECEB publishes it with each cycle’s UGMAC seat matrix, and it is the number to check before you build an option list around this college. We will not print an estimate for it.
Cross-check: Himalaya Medical College is absent from the MCC NEET-UG 2026 seat matrix (MCC notice U-12021/02/2026-MEC dated 5 August 2026) and from the MCC Round-1 provisional allotment of 21 August 2026 — consistent with a private, non-deemed college whose entire intake is filled by the state counselling authority.
The decision here is not “can I get in” — it is whether ₹20.16 lakh in year one plus a bond over the remaining tuition is the right call against your other Bihar and out-of-state options at the same NEET rank. That is the comparison we do, free, before you commit. We do not sell seats and we never handle your fee payment.
The college describes itself on its own site as spread over 25 acres at Chiksi, on SH-69 in Paliganj, Patna — PIN 801110, with a 900+ bedded teaching hospital attached. Paliganj sits roughly 50 km west of central Patna on the state highway, so this is a semi-rural catchment rather than a city-centre campus: the case mix skews to the surrounding blocks, and the practical questions to ask at reporting are hostel occupancy and daily transport, not city hospital tie-ups.
Official source: Himalaya Medical College & Hospital official website (hmcedu.in, home page) and the college letterhead reproduced on its BCECEB fee submissions, captured 23 August 2026. “900+” is the college’s own wording; a precise functional bed count for the current year is not listed.
Stripped of adjectives, the case for this college is narrow and specific: a candidate who has qualified NEET-UG, cannot reach a Bihar government seat, wants to stay in Bihar, and can fund ₹20.16 lakh in year one plus a bond over the remaining tuition. The degree is from Bihar University of Health Sciences and NMC-permitted, so it is valid for internship, registration and NEET-PG/NExT anywhere in India — that part is not in doubt.
What you are trading away is track record. The first MBBS batch entered in 2024-25, so no cohort has yet reached final year, there is no internship or NEET-PG outcome history, and there is no published closing rank from a completed cycle at this college to plan against. That is a statement of fact about a new college, not a criticism — but it should be priced into a ₹15.5 lakh-a-year decision rather than discovered afterwards.
The syllabus, the three phases, the 4.5 years plus a one-year compulsory rotating internship and the move to NExT are set nationally by the NMC and are identical at every Indian medical college — our MBBS admission guide covers them in full. Two things are local to this college: university examinations are conducted by Bihar University of Health Sciences, Patna, and the fee letter charges tuition for 4.5 years while charging hostel for 5½ years or the duration of stay, whichever is later — so a repeated year costs hostel, not tuition. The internship stipend payable here is not listed in any document we hold.
In one line: not listed — and be suspicious of any site that gives you a number.
This college has no All-India Quota, so it appears in no MCC allotment file, which is where verifiable closing ranks come from. Its seats are allotted by BCECEB through UGMAC, and the first intake was only AY 2024-25, so there is no multi-year closing-rank series to read a trend from. The honest position is that the binding constraint at a private college of this type is the fee, not the rank: you need a qualifying NEET-UG 2026 score and the ability to fund the schedule above. The category-wise closing ranks that matter are the ones BCECEB publishes at the end of each UGMAC round — check them on bceceboard.bihar.gov.in as the rounds run.
Bihar MBBS admission runs through BCECEB’s UGMAC rounds; the round structure, hold-and-upgrade rules and the parallel MCC calendar are covered in our AIQ vs state-quota guide and the Bihar MBBS hub. The only point specific to Himalaya Medical College is that the MCC half of that calendar does not apply to it — it is not in the MCC 2026 seat matrix, so it can only be reached through UGMAC option entry. Exact 2026 dates are notified by BCECEB and shift every year; never plan on last year’s.
Hostel is not an optional line here — it is a head in the college’s own BCECEB fee submission, at ₹3,15,000 per annum for hostel (without AC) and mess, the same figure for General & Minority and for NRI candidates. Two qualifiers in that letter are worth reading literally: the rate is for a non-air-conditioned room, and it is charged for 5½ years or the duration of stay, whichever is later, with students who stay longer — through a failed year or an extended residency — required to pay the additional hostel charge for that extra time.
Official source: as for the fee table above — Ref HMCH/563/25 dated 12 August 2025, notes 5 and 6. An AC-room tariff, room-sharing pattern and current hostel capacity are not listed in that letter.
The path after any Indian MBBS — internship, state-council registration, NEET-PG/NExT, DNB, government service or an overseas licensing exam — is national and is covered in our MBBS admission guide. At this college specifically there is nothing yet to report: the first batch entered in 2024-25, so no cohort has graduated, and internship or PG-entrance outcomes are not listed.
Before comparing lenders, understand what the college asks for. Its fee letter requires a Bank Guarantee or Bond for tuition and development fees covering the remaining period of the course, furnished at admission while you pay only year one. A loan sanction letter is not the same instrument as a bank guarantee, and arranging one takes time and usually security — start that conversation with your bank before the reporting date, not after allotment.
Bihar-domicile candidates should separately check the Bihar Student Credit Card Scheme and Bihar/central post-matric scholarships on the official state portal; the current limits and eligibility are set there, not by us, and we will not restate figures we have not verified for the 2026-27 cycle.
The document set is common to all Bihar MBBS counselling and we keep it in one place: see documents for counselling, and cross-check against the current BCECEB (UGMAC) brochure, which is the only list that binds. For this college add one item that is easy to miss: the bank guarantee or bond required by note 7 of its fee letter.

The comparison is a fee comparison, and the gap is the whole decision. A Bihar government MBBS seat — PMCH, NMCH, IGIMS or a state GMC — costs a small fraction of ₹15,50,000 a year but demands a far stronger NEET rank, and those colleges also carry a 15% All-India Quota filled by MCC, which this college does not have. AIIMS Patna sits above both on difficulty and below both on fee. Himalaya Medical College is what you consider when the government list has closed above your rank and you would rather stay in Bihar than move states or go abroad for the same money. Map it against the alternatives with our AIQ vs state-quota guide and the Bihar MBBS hub.
