JGMM Medical College Hubballi (KAHER Deemed University) MBBS Admission 2026: Fees, NEET Cutoff & MCC/State Counselling

What Actually Distinguishes JGMM Hubballi

1. The awarding university behind it: the degree comes from KAHER, whose sponsoring body, the KLE Society, states it is 105 years old and runs more than 272 institutions. KAHER itself has nine constituent units across medicine, dentistry, nursing, ayurveda, physiotherapy, homoeopathy and pharmacy. That standing belongs to the university, and it is the reason to consider this college — but it is not evidence about JGMM's own teaching or outcomes, which are covered further down.
2. A new campus, still being completed: the college describes a 34-acre campus at Gabbur with dissection hall, histology and biochemistry laboratories, gallery lecture theatres seating 130 each, demonstration rooms and a skill lab to NMC specification. It also states plainly that the pre- and para-clinical departments and the hospital are presently about 7 km apart and that the single campus will take about two more years. Newest is not the same as finished, and the college says so itself.
3. Where it sits: Hubballi-Dharwad is the commercial and healthcare centre of North Karnataka, drawing patients from the districts around it. For a student that means case volume and case variety on clinical postings. The college publishes a 330-bed hospital covering Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Dermatology, Pulmonary Medicine, ENT, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Anaesthesiology, Radio-diagnosis and Dentistry — ask about posting rosters rather than assuming volume from a location.
4. Two routes in, not one: unusually for a deemed university, a quarter of the intake is a KEA-allotted government quota at a regulated fee. For a candidate eligible under KEA's Karnataka rules, that is the difference between ₹6,09,084 a year and ₹22,05,000 a year at the same college, for the same degree.
5. The same KAHER degree as JNMC Belagavi: both colleges are constituent units of the same university and both award the same MBBS. Where they differ is age, hospital scale and campus, not the awarding body — and candidates allotted to either, by MCC or by KEA, report to the same place, KAHER's JNMC campus at Nehru Nagar, Belagavi.

JGMM Hubballi MBBS Seat Matrix 2026-27 — 37 KEA + 90 Deemed + 23 NRI

📌 In one line: 150 seats, three quotas, two counselling authorities — and a quarter of the intake is state government quota.

JGMM publishes its own intake split for 2026-27. It reads: Government Quota 37 seats (25%), Private Deemed University 90 seats (60%), NRI Management 23 seats (15%) — 150 in all.

Official source: the intake table published on KLE J.G.M.M Medical College's own fee-structure page (klejgmmmc.edu.in/fee-structure.html), read 19 August 2026. Both sources agree: KEA's UGNEET-2026 first-round seat-allotment list allotted exactly 37 seats under course code M089MG — the same number the college publishes, arrived at independently.

What this actually changes for you: a candidate eligible under KEA's Karnataka government-quota rules has a route into JGMM at roughly a quarter of the deemed-quota fee, and many applicants never look for it because they assume a deemed university has no state quota. A candidate without that eligibility is competing for the 90 deemed seats or the 23 NRI seats through MCC, at the KAHER rates. Publication of a seat count is not a promise of allotment — how many seats reach any one category depends on the round.

JGMM Medical College Hubballi MBBS Fee Structure 2026-27 (Government Quota, Deemed Quota, NRI)

📌 In one line: there is no single "JGMM fee" — there are three, set by two different authorities, and which one applies to you is decided by the counselling that allots your seat.

Government quota — the KEA-regulated fee

Official source: Karnataka Examinations Authority, Medical College-wise Fee Structure 2026-27 (MBBS), issued under Government Orders MED 218 RGU 2026 dated 14 August 2026 and MED 213 RGU 2026 dated 13 August 2026, row for college code M089. The identical figure appears against course code M089MG in KEA's UGNEET-2026 seat-allotment list, so two KEA documents carry it independently.

The trap on this college: the KEA fee is not the bill. KAHER charges its own university- and college-level fees on top. In the reporting instructions KAHER issued to KEA-allotted candidates for 2025-26, the split read: KEA fee ₹6,09,834, other fees at university and college level ₹1,54,250, total ₹7,64,084 payable per year. Those are the 2025-26 numbers, given here so the structure is visible; KAHER had not published a 2026-27 equivalent when this page was checked. So treat ₹6,09,084 as the regulated component and ask the college's admission office, in writing, for the current add-on before you commit a budget. A KEA seat here is still far cheaper than the deemed quota — it is simply not as cheap as one number makes it look.

Private Deemed University quota — KAHER's signed 2026-27 circular

NRI Management quota

Official source for both tables: KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research, Belagavi — Fees Structure for Under Graduate Course in KLE J.G.M.M Medical College, Hubballi, for the Academic Year 2026-2027, dated 23 July 2026, signed by KAHER's Finance Officer and Registrar and carrying the university seal. Published on the college's own fee-structure page, klejgmmmc.edu.in/fee-structure.html; read there on 19 August 2026.

Read the NRI row literally. KAHER states this tier in US dollars, not rupees. What you actually pay in rupees is whatever the dollar costs on each remittance date, so an NRI-quota budget has an exchange-rate risk in it that the deemed-quota budget does not. Do not convert once at today's rate and treat the answer as fixed.

What these fees include and exclude

Nothing in these tables should be multiplied. Each row is one year exactly as the circular prints it; the fifth year is deliberately not equal to the others; and a fee circular covers one academic year only. The five-year sums shown above are arithmetic on the current sheet, not a projection of what a future revision will cost.

JGMM Hubballi Hostel and Mess Fees 2026-27

📌 In one line: the rent column on the college's own sheet excludes mess, and mess is not optional.

Official source: Hostel Fee Structure for the Year 2026-27, KLE J.G.M. Medical College Hostels, JGMMC Campus, Gabbur, Hubballi 580028, signed by the Director Administration and published at klejgmmmc.edu.in/hostel-fee.html. Read 19 August 2026.

• Mess is separate and it is not optional. The rent column says "excluding mess" on the sheet itself, and mess is billed to a different account. Add ₹48,000 to whichever row applies to you: ₹1,58,000 a year for boys, ₹1,98,000 a year for girls — both computed by us from the college's two figures, not quoted as a single number anywhere.
• The first-year total is not the annual cost. It carries a one-time ₹200 admission fee and the refundable caution deposit. From the second year you are looking at rent plus mess and nothing else.
• The caution deposit is not fully recovered. The sheet states it is refunded with a 5 per cent deduction as maintenance charges.
• The girls' figure is higher because the room is different — single attached against double attached — not because of a different rate for the same room. Compare like with like before concluding anything from the gap.
• What the room comes with: cot, cupboard, table, book shelf, chair, fan and curtains. Mattress, pillow, bedsheet, blanket, jug and bucket are brought by the student or bought at the campus store.
• Allotment is by computerised randomisation, per the college's own hostel page — you do not choose your room.

JGMM Hubballi NEET Cutoff 2026-27 — What Is Officially Published

📌 In one line: MCC has published Round 1 of the 2026 deemed stream — JGMM's deemed-quota seats closed at All India rank 4,19,036 — and because Round 1 is the toughest round of the cycle, the later rounds will close deeper than that, not tighter. The KEA government-quota ranks are not out yet.

How this section works. We publish closing ranks only from the allotment lists the counselling authorities themselves release. MCC's Round 1 for the 2026 cycle has been released and is set out below; the later MCC rounds and KEA's government-quota lists are still to come, and until each of those is out there is no closing rank to quote for it. A number quoted before a round closes is a guess, and a guess about a cutoff is the one thing on an admissions page that can cost a candidate a seat.

MCC Round 1 (provisional), 2026 — the deemed-quota seats

MCC published its Round-1 allotment result for the 2026 NEET-UG cycle on 21 August 2026. These are JGMM Hubballi's own rows from that document, for the deemed (Self-Financed Merit Seat) quota:

Official source: Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), DGHS, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare — Provisional NEET-UG Counselling Seats Allotment — 2026, Round 1, published 21 August 2026. The figures are provisional, as the document's own title says.

One rank, not one per category. Deemed-university self-financed seats carry no category reservation: every candidate is allotted against the same open merit list, whatever their own category. That is why there is a single opening and closing rank here, and not the category-by-category rows you will see in KEA's government-quota list.

4,19,036 is the toughest number of the 2026 cycle, not the final one. A Round-1 closing rank is the deepest rank allotted in the first round, when the largest pool of candidates is still in play. MCC Round 2, mop-up and stray-vacancy rounds all close deeper — at worse, higher ranks — as candidates upgrade, withdraw or fail to report. Reading a Round-1 figure as “the 2026 cutoff” is the single most common way a reachable college is written off as unreachable.

These are All India NEET-UG ranks under MCC counselling. They apply only to the deemed stream at mcc.nic.in. They are not the KEA government-quota cutoff for the 37 seats under college code M089 — that is a separate Karnataka merit list, published separately, and a rank from one list tells you nothing about the other.

Why this seat count is larger than the seat matrix above. The intake table on this page follows KAHER's own 2026-27 fee circular, which splits 150 seats as 37 KEA + 90 deemed + 23 NRI. MCC's Round-1 allotment list records 176 MBBS seats allotted at this college under the deemed quota in the first round alone. The two official documents do not agree on the size of this quota. The ranks are the part of the MCC list you can act on; before you plan around a seat count, read the seat matrix MCC itself publishes for 2026-27 at mcc.nic.in, because that is the document the counselling actually runs on.

Where the ranks that are still pending will appear

One thing worth knowing before you compare colleges on cutoff: a closing rank is the deepest rank that happened to be allotted in one round of one year. It is a record of what occurred, not a threshold the college sets. Read it as evidence, and never as a promise about next year.

The Teaching Hospital at JGMM Hubballi

• Size: the college states that its hospital presently has 330 beds, with Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Dermatology, Pulmonary Medicine, ENT, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Anaesthesiology, Radio-diagnosis and Dentistry, and that it is laid out to the National Medical Commission's requirements for teaching.
• Name: the teaching hospital is identified in the college's own campus documentation as the KLE Suchirayu Teaching Hospital of JGMM Medical College.
• Where it is: the college states that its pre- and para-clinical departments and the hospital are presently about 7 km apart, and that the single 34-acre campus at Gabbur is still being completed. If you are choosing between colleges, ask at reporting how first- and second-year students move between the two sites.
• Catchment: Hubballi-Dharwad is the commercial and healthcare centre of North Karnataka, drawing patients from the surrounding districts. What that means for a student is case volume and case variety during clinical postings.
• How to read a bed count: beds are an input, not an outcome. A 330-bed teaching hospital meets the regulator's standard for the intake; it is not comparable to the 1,000-plus-bed figures older institutions quote, and any page that adds two hospitals' beds together to reach a bigger number is not describing where you will actually be posted.

Official source: the college's own About Us page, klejgmmmc.edu.in/aboutus.html, read 19 August 2026.

Living in Hubballi-Dharwad as a JGMM Student

• Location: the campus is at Gabbur, Hubballi 580028, in Dharwad district, North Karnataka. Hubballi is also spelled Hubli, and both spellings appear in official lists — KEA files this college under Dharwad, which is the district, not a different town.
• Climate: Pleasant Karnataka plateau climate — 18–32°C most of the year, monsoon June–October.
• Cost of living: Among Karnataka's most affordable Tier-2 city setups. Off-campus PG accommodation ₹6,000–10,000/month single room. Mess outside campus ₹4,500–6,500/month.
• On-campus hostel: the college's 2026-27 sheet lists a double-attached room for boys at ₹1,10,000 a year and a single-attached room for girls at ₹1,50,000 a year, both excluding mess, with mess a further ₹48,000. Allotment is by computerised randomisation.
• Transport: Hubballi Junction railway station (major South Indian rail hub), Hubballi Airport (15 km from JGMM, direct flights to Bangalore / Mumbai / Hyderabad), NH-67 / NH-48 connectivity.
• NEET-PG coaching access: Limited offline options at Hubballi; online platforms primary (Marrow, PrepLadder). Bangalore (8-hour drive) accessible for occasional weekend coaching trips.
• Recreation: Strong North Karnataka cultural scene (Dharwad Hindustani music heritage), local food culture, weekend trips to Goa (3-hr drive) common. Limited modern mall / cinema infrastructure compared to metros.
• Safety: Hubballi-Dharwad rated highly safe for outstation students. Strong KLE-trust network ensures supportive student-living environment.

JGMM vs Karnataka's Other Deemed Medical Colleges — The Fee You Can Actually Compare

📌 In one line: on the one fee that is set by the same authority for all of them, JGMM is roughly four times its peers — and that is the single most useful thing on this page for a KEA candidate.

Comparing deemed universities on "management fee" is where most comparison tables go wrong, because each university sets that figure in its own circular, on its own heads, in its own year. There is exactly one fee here that is set by a single authority, on one basis, for all of them at once: the KEA government-quota fee in the 2026-27 schedule. That is what this table shows, and nothing else.

Official source: all six figures come from one document — Karnataka Examinations Authority, Medical College-wise Fee Structure 2026-27 (MBBS), under Government Orders MED 218 RGU 2026 and MED 213 RGU 2026. Because they are from the same table for the same year, they are genuinely comparable with each other.

What the gap does and does not mean. JGMM's government-quota fee is about four times what the other Karnataka deemed colleges charge on the same quota. That is a real difference and it should weigh on a KEA candidate's choice. It is not a statement about teaching, and it is not a comparison of management-quota fees at these colleges — KEA's schedule does not price those, each university sets them in its own circular, and this page quotes only JGMM's because only JGMM's was read from the university's own signed document.

Where JGMM stands out: a KEA government-quota route into a KAHER degree, which is unusual for a deemed university, and the newest campus among the KLE medical colleges. Where it does not: a 330-bed hospital is smaller than the teaching hospitals its deemed peers run, the campus is still being completed with the clinical and pre-clinical sites about 7 km apart, and it is the most expensive of the six on the one fee that can be compared like for like.

After MBBS at JGMM Hubballi

No outcome statistics are published for this college, and none are invented here. JGMM is the second and newer of KAHER's two medical colleges, and it has not released batch-level NEET-PG conversion, licensing-exam or employment figures. Any page quoting a percentage of JGMM graduates who cleared NEET-PG is quoting something the college has not published.

• What the degree is: the MBBS is awarded by KAHER, the same university that awards JNMC Belagavi's. For registration, PG eligibility and employment, that is the fact that matters, and it is the same for both colleges.
• Where to get real numbers: ask the college directly, in writing, for the NEET-PG results of its most recent completed batch, and ask how many batches have completed at all. A college that has the figures will send them; the answer either way tells you something.
• What a newer college genuinely cannot yet offer: a large alumni network of its own, and a long internal record of PG placement. What it can offer is the parent university's standing. Weigh those separately rather than treating the parent's history as this college's track record.

Living in the JGMM Hostel — What the Fee Sheet Does Not Say

• Room types are fixed by the sheet, not chosen: the 2026-27 structure prices exactly two options — a single attached room in the girls' hostel and a double attached room in the boys' hostel. The college states allotment is by computerised randomisation.
• Budget rent and mess together: ₹1,10,000 plus ₹48,000 for boys and ₹1,50,000 plus ₹48,000 for girls. Reading the rent alone understates the year by ₹48,000, and the sheet's own column heading warns you of it.
• Bring your own bedding: the room comes with cot, cupboard, table, book shelf, chair, fan and curtains. Mattress, pillow, bedsheet, blanket, jug and bucket are the student's, and can be bought at the campus store.
• The caution deposit comes back short: 5 per cent is deducted as maintenance charges, so plan on recovering ₹28,500 of a boys' ₹30,000 deposit and ₹47,500 of a girls' ₹50,000 — both computed from the sheet's own 5 per cent rule.
• Ask which site you will live near: with the clinical and pre-clinical departments about 7 km apart while the campus is completed, the hostel's location relative to your year's teaching is a practical question worth asking before you accept.

Who JGMM Hubballi Actually Suits

1. A candidate eligible for KEA's Karnataka government quota. This is the strongest case on the page. ₹6,09,084 a year plus KAHER's university and college add-on buys a KAHER MBBS, and it is the only route here that does not run into seven figures a year. There are 37 such seats. Enter option code M089 and check your own category's allotment, not the general-merit one.
2. A candidate weighing the deemed quota against other deemed colleges. At ₹22,05,000 a year, plus roughly ₹1.6 to ₹2 lakh for hostel and mess, this is a serious commitment; the circular's own five year rows add to ₹99,30,000 before you have paid for anywhere to live. Get the comparable signed circular from every college on your list before you rank them — not a range quoted on a listing site.
3. An NRI-quota applicant. $44,000 a year is the KAHER rate. Budget in dollars and treat the rupee cost as variable, because it is.
4. Someone who wants the KAHER degree and can accept a newer campus. The degree is KAHER's. The hospital is 330 beds, the campus is still being completed, and the two sites are about 7 km apart today. Those are trade-offs to accept knowingly, not defects to be talked out of.
5. Who should look elsewhere: anyone told that a deemed university means there is no state quota here, or shown a single "JGMM fee" without being asked which counselling allotted the seat. Both are wrong on this college, and both change the number by lakhs.

Before you pay anything: confirm which quota your allotment letter names, get the 2026-27 fee sheet for that specific quota from the college in writing, and ask what the university- and college-level add-on is on top of the regulated fee. Pay by the mode the college's own instructions specify and keep the receipt. No cash, ever.

Glossary — JGMM and KAHER Quick Reference

• JGMM: Jagadguru Gangadhar Mahaswamigalu Moorsavirmath Medical College — a KAHER constituent at Gabbur, Hubballi. KEA spells the name "Moorusavirmath" and files it under Dharwad district, so match on code M089 rather than on spelling.
• KAHER: KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research — Deemed-to-be-University covering JGMM Hubballi, JNMC Belagavi, KLE Dental, and allied health institutes.
• KLE Society: Karnataka Lingayat Education Society, founded 1916. Parent trust running KAHER + numerous engineering, dental, pharmacy and education institutes across Karnataka and Maharashtra.
• JNMC Belagavi: Jawaharlal Nehru Medical College, Belagavi — KAHER's first medical college and JGMM's sister institute, KEA code M032. Same university, same degree; older, larger and with its own separate fee sheet.
• KIMS Hubballi: Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences — a Karnataka government medical college in the same city, and a different institution from JGMM. KEA code M031; its KEA government-quota fee for 2026-27 is ₹64,350 a year. Often confused with JGMM by applicants.
• MCC: Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi — runs counselling for the All India Quota and for deemed universities, including JGMM's 90 deemed and 23 NRI seats.
• KEA: Karnataka Examinations Authority, Bengaluru — runs Karnataka's UGNEET counselling, which allots JGMM's 37 government-quota seats under code M089.
• Deemed University: a UGC-recognised autonomous higher-education institution whose seats are ordinarily allotted by MCC rather than a state authority. JGMM is an exception worth remembering: 25% of its MBBS intake is a KEA-allotted government quota.
• MCC Security Deposit: ₹2,05,000 (₹2 L refundable + ₹5K non-refundable).
• NMC 4.5-Year Rule: April 2026 directive abolishing tuition during 5th-year internship.
