Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences MBBS Admission 2026: Fees, Cutoff & Seat Matrix

Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences at a glance

Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences is a government medical college in Karwar, Karnataka, affiliated to Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, Karnataka and recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Its 150 MBBS seats are filled purely on NEET-UG merit through the All-India Quota (MCC) and the Karnataka state quota (KEA), at a government-quota fee of ₹64,350 per year for 2026-27 — among the lowest in India — with a strong public-hospital case-load.

Fees and college code from the Karnataka Examinations Authority's 2026-27 MBBS fee structure; seat split from the institute's own UG admission sanction table. Always confirm current figures with the college or the counselling authority before you pay.

Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences MBBS Seat Matrix & Quotas

As a government college, Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences's 150 MBBS seats are split 22 to the All-India Quota (MCC) and 128 to the Karnataka state quota (KEA). There is no management-quota and no private-quota seat. A small NRI-category share sits inside the state quota — KEA allots it on NEET merit under course code M076MN at ₹25,09,350 per year, and the institute's own sanction table carries no separate NRI line, which is why the 22 + 128 split below still adds to 150.

Official source: Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences, Under Graduate Admission Sanction Details, 2025-26 batch — MBBS: AIQ 22, State Quota 128, Total 150; published on the institute's own site (kimskarwar.karnataka.gov.in), captured 19 August 2026.

📌 In one line: 22 seats are decided in Delhi by MCC and 128 in Bengaluru by KEA — read the “15%” and “85%” as the rule the split comes from, not as exact arithmetic on 150.

Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences MBBS Fee Structure (2026-27)

📌 In one line: almost every student here pays ₹64,350 a year — that is the honest number to plan around, not the NRI figure below it.

Why the same figure can appear beside two different labels: KEA's fee table prints four columns — government, private, management and NRI. For Karnataka's government medical colleges the management and NRI columns carry the identical amount, ₹25,09,350, and it is the same amount at every one of them. That is the state's single NRI fee for government colleges, not a second, buyable tier: KEA's own UGNEET-2026 allotment listing shows Karwar with a government-quota course code and an NRI course code, and no management-quota code. Read ₹25,09,350 as the NRI fee.

What you actually pay in first year

In one line: a KEA-allotted student pays ₹72,100 across the first year and an AIQ-allotted student pays ₹71,350 — the KEA course fee plus the college's own ₹7,000 of annual heads, split across two payments.

SC/ST/Category-1 candidates are handled separately: those who already paid the ₹65,100 at KEA owe only the ₹7,000 college fee, while those who paid just ₹750 at KEA pay the full ₹71,350 at the college and reclaim it through the SSP scholarship portal. Read “reclaim” literally — the money leaves your account first and comes back later, so budget for the outlay even if you are entitled to the reimbursement.

Official source: Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences, Brochure for 2026-27 MBBS Admission, page 18 “Revised Fees Structure”, issued under Government Order No. DME/MED/110/RGU2024 dated 20 August 2024, published in the kimskarwar.karnataka.gov.in uploads directory; captured 19 August 2026. Its university ₹9,350 + tuition ₹55,000 add to exactly the ₹64,350 KEA publishes against college code M076 — the institute's document and KEA's fee order agree.

Nothing in these tables should be multiplied by five. KEA publishes a per-year fee and does not publish a course total. On the government-quota figure alone, the four-and-a-half academic years of MBBS work out to ₹2,89,575 — that is our arithmetic on KEA's per-year number, not a total KEA states, and it excludes everything in the “excludes” column above. It is also not a projection of future revisions: KEA re-issues this structure every cycle.

Hostel: not listed. The institute's 2026-27 brochure publishes no hostel tariff — it says only that no hostel fee is collected at admission, and that the hostel fee is collected when a room is allotted, into a different bank account from the course fee. Confirm the current rate with the college rather than relying on a figure quoted elsewhere.

💡 Beware any agent offering a “management” seat here for a fee — no such quota exists at this college. The NRI category is real, but it is a KEA merit allotment at a published fee, not a seat anyone can arrange for you. Pay only into the institute's own account by demand draft, against a receipt; the brochure states plainly that no cash or cheques are accepted.

Evidence note: check the academic year printed beside any fee before you act on it. Everything above is the 2026-27 cycle. Where an aggregator quotes a single “Karwar MBBS fee” without naming a seat category, it is not describing what KEA actually publishes.

Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences NEET-UG Cutoff Trends

A government seat at Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences is rank-driven and competitive.

In one line: a closing rank is only meaningful once you name the round, the quota and the category — a single “cut-off for Karwar” figure is not a thing that exists. MCC publishes the All-India Quota closing ranks and KEA publishes the Karnataka state-quota ones, separately, and both move at every round and again at mop-up. Read them from the authority that ran the round, for the same category you will be competing in. We map your live NEET-UG rank and category against those published ranks and tell you plainly whether Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences is in reach.
