✅ How we source the numbers on this page: the fees below come from the Karnataka Examinations Authority’s Medical College-wise Fee Structure 2026-27 (MBBS), published under Government Orders MED 218 RGU 2026 (14 August 2026) and MED 213 RGU 2026 (13 August 2026), and were re-checked against KEA’s own UGNEET-2026 seat-allotment listing for college code M024. The sanctioned MBBS intake comes from the college’s own official Government of Karnataka site. Aggregator sites are not used. Evidence note: every fee here is a per-year figure for the 2026-27 academic year — check the academic year printed beside any fee you compare it with, because KEA revises these each cycle. Cut-offs change every round; reconfirm at allotment. No cash payments; official receipts only.

📊 MIMS Mandya — Key Facts 2026

📌 In one line: a Government of Karnataka medical college at Mandya, 150 sanctioned MBBS seats on NEET merit, KEA college code M024, government-quota fee ₹64,350 per year for 2026-27.

Official source: fees — Karnataka Examinations Authority, Medical College-wise Fee Structure 2026-27 (MBBS), issued under Government Order No. MED 218 RGU 2026 dated 14 August 2026 and MED 213 RGU 2026 dated 13 August 2026, row for college code M024; captured 19 August 2026. Sanctioned intake, affiliation and course structure — MIMS Mandya’s own official site (mims.karnataka.gov.in, MBBS page), captured 19 August 2026, which states a Government of Karnataka sanctioned intake of 150 with an 85% state / 15% All-India split.

🏥 About MIMS Mandya & Why It Matters

Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences (MIMS) is an autonomous Government of Karnataka medical institution at Mandya in southern Karnataka, affiliated to RGUHS and NMC-recognised. It admits a sanctioned MBBS intake of 150 — the figure published on its own official site — on NEET merit through the Karnataka state quota (KEA) and the All-India Quota (MCC), with an attached government teaching hospital of around 850 beds. MIMS expanded government medical education in the Mandya district between Mysuru and Bengaluru.

As the district’s government medical institute, MIMS Mandya serves a largely agrarian catchment and gives students a broad, high-volume clinical caseload. Its government-fee structure and Karnataka state quota make it an accessible target for domicile aspirants; the 15% AIQ seats are open nationally through MCC.

🎯 MIMS Mandya Admission Process 2026 — Step by Step

All seats are filled on NEET merit through two parallel routes — there is no institutional seat and no management quota:

1. Qualify NEET-UG 2026 and note your rank and category.
2. State quota (85%): register with the KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority, cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) and participate in Karnataka counselling (Karnataka domicile required).
3. All-India Quota (15%): register on MCC (mcc.nic.in) — open to all Indian candidates.
4. Choice filling & allotment: list MIMS Mandya in your preferences; seats are allotted strictly on NEET merit across rounds.
5. Reporting: complete document verification and fee payment at the college to confirm.

⚠ Anti-tout note: MIMS Mandya has no management quota and no paid “direct admission”. It does carry a small NRI-category share inside the state quota at ₹25,09,350 per year — but that seat is allotted by KEA on NEET merit at the published fee, exactly like every other seat, and nobody can sell you one. Any agent promising a guaranteed seat for money is running a scam — the only route is NEET rank through KEA / MCC counselling.

💼 Where Expert Counselling Helps at MIMS Mandya

You cannot buy a government seat — but for a candidate clearing the cutoff, expert counselling materially improves the outcome. FindUrCollege’s counselling helps you read your NEET rank and category against MIMS Mandya’s realistic cut-off, build a safe-to-ambitious choice list across the Karnataka KEA and MCC rounds, avoid the choice-filling mistakes that cost seats every year, and prepare documents correctly. It is a guidance service for serious aspirants — never a seat purchase.

🏨 MIMS Mandya Hospital & Clinical Training

The attached MIMS teaching hospital (~850 beds) is the principal government tertiary centre for Mandya district, with the full range of clinical departments, emergency and ICU care. The steady patient volume underpins the clinical years and the college’s postgraduate programmes.

✅ Why Choose MIMS Mandya for MBBS in 2026

For a NEET aspirant weighing Karnataka options, MIMS Mandya stands out on several practical counts:

• Government-fee value: ₹64,350 per year in the government quota (KEA, 2026-27) — a fraction of the ₹25 lakh–₹1.5 crore that private and deemed colleges charge for the course.
• Merit-only, no management quota: every seat is filled on NEET rank through KEA or MCC — there is no management quota at all, and the small NRI-category share is itself a NEET-merit allotment at KEA’s published fee, so no agent can sell you one.
• Established clinical base: training on the wards of an ~850-bed teaching hospital, with the patient volume and case variety that make a government MBBS so valuable.
• Mandya setting: studying in Mandya gives you access to its hospital network, peer ecosystem and connectivity across Karnataka.
• RGUHS / NMC degree: a nationally recognised MBBS, valid for NEET-PG (NExT), internship and medical registration anywhere in India.

📚 MBBS at MIMS Mandya: Course Structure, Duration & Internship

The MBBS at MIMS Mandya follows the NMC competency-based medical education (CBME) curriculum under RGUHS — four-and-a-half years of academics across three phases, followed by a compulsory one-year rotating internship before you can register as a doctor:

• Phase I — Pre-clinical (~12 months): Anatomy, Physiology and Biochemistry, with early clinical exposure and the Foundation Course.
• Phase II — Para-clinical (~12 months): Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Forensic Medicine and Community Medicine, alongside clinical postings.
• Phase III — Clinical (~24 months, two parts): General Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, ENT, Ophthalmology and the other specialties, taught on the wards of the MIMS Mandya teaching hospital.
• Compulsory Rotating Internship (12 months): hands-on rotations across departments, with a monthly stipend as per the applicable Karnataka / college norms (confirm the current figure).

University examinations are held by RGUHS, and the final qualifying assessment is moving to the National Exit Test (NExT) as notified by the NMC — which will also serve as the NEET-PG equivalent for postgraduate entry. Plan your preparation around the NExT timeline once it is officially confirmed.

🎯 What NEET Score Realistically Targets MIMS Mandya?

MIMS Mandya fills its seats through the 85% Karnataka state quota (KEA) and the 15% All-India Quota (MCC), so the closing rank you need depends on which route you take, your category and the year’s NEET difficulty. A few honest pointers instead of a made-up number:

• Use last year as a reference, not a promise: closing ranks shift every cycle with the number of qualifiers and seat changes. Always read the most recent KEA and MCC closing data for MIMS Mandya category-wise.
• Category matters: SC, ST, OBC, EWS and other reserved categories close at more relaxed ranks than the General/open category, in both the state and AIQ rounds.
• State quota vs AIQ: for a Karnataka-domicile candidate the KEA state quota is usually the more attainable route into MIMS Mandya; the 15% AIQ via MCC is open nationally and typically more competitive.
• 371(J) where applicable: in the Kalyana-Karnataka region, the Article 371(J) reservation gives eligible local candidates a defined share of government-quota seats at a regional cut-off.

The practical move is to map your NEET rank against MIMS Mandya’s most recent category-wise closing ranks and build a realistic choice list — which is exactly where structured counselling earns its keep.

MCC Round 1 (provisional), 2026 — All-India Quota closing ranks at MIMS Mandya

In one line: in the Medical Counselling Committee’s first round of NEET-UG 2026 counselling, the open-category All-India Quota seat at MIMS Mandya closed at All-India rank 8,695, and 29 MBBS seats in all were allotted here in that round (including the two PwD seats shown separately below).

Read these as the toughest ranks of the cycle, not the final ones. This is Round 1, and MCC publishes it as provisional. Round 2, mop-up and stray-vacancy rounds allot the seats left over, and they close at worse (higher) ranks than Round 1 does. So if your rank sits outside the numbers below, it does not mean MIMS Mandya is out of reach — it means Round 1 is.

These are not the Karnataka state cut-off. Every rank here is an All-India NEET-UG 2026 rank under MCC counselling and applies only to the 15% All-India Quota at MIMS Mandya. The 85% Karnataka state quota is a separate merit list run by KEA, with its own category-wise closing ranks and its own domicile rules — do not judge a state-quota chance by an AIQ rank.

ST shows the same opening and closing rank because exactly one ST seat was allotted here in Round 1 — with a single seat the best and the worst rank are the same candidate. The same applies to each PwD row below.

PwD seats — a separate merit list

MCC ranks PwD candidates on their own separate merit list, which is why these All-India ranks are far larger numbers. They are not comparable with the open-category ranks above and are shown apart for exactly that reason.

Official source: Medical Counselling Committee (DGHS, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare), Provisional NEET-UG Counselling Seats Allotment 2026 — Round 1, published 21 August 2026; the rows filed under “Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences, Mandya, Bangalore-Mysore Main Road, Mandya”. Captured 22 August 2026. Round-2 and later closing ranks are published by MCC on mcc.nic.in as each round concludes.

📅 Karnataka MBBS Counselling 2026 — Rounds & Timeline

Securing a seat at MIMS Mandya is as much about working the counselling calendar correctly as it is about your NEET score. Karnataka MBBS admission runs in sequential rounds through KEA, in parallel with the all-India MCC process:

1. NEET-UG result (June 2026): the All India Rank is published; your rank and category set everything that follows.
2. KEA registration & document verification: register on the KEA portal, upload/verify documents and pay the counselling fee within the notified window.
3. Mock allotment & option entry: enter and order your college-course choices — including MIMS Mandya — using the mock result to refine your list before the real allotment.
4. Round 1 → Round 2 → Mop-up / extended mop-up → stray vacancy: seats at MIMS Mandya can open or close at any round, and hold/upgrade rules decide whether you keep, improve or release an allotment — read each round’s instructions carefully.
5. MCC (AIQ & Deemed) rounds in parallel: the 15% All-India Quota and deemed-university seats are filled by MCC on its own schedule — coordinate your choices across both processes.

Exact 2026 dates are notified by KEA (cetonline.karnataka.gov.in) and MCC (mcc.nic.in), and the calendars shift every year — track both portals and never rely on last year’s dates.

💸 MIMS Mandya MBBS Fees 2026-27 & Cost of Studying

In one line: the government-quota MBBS fee at MIMS Mandya is ₹64,350 per year for 2026-27, and the only other seat category here, NRI, is ₹25,09,350 per year. Both figures are published by the Karnataka Examinations Authority against college code M024.

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 MIMS Mandya with a government-quota course code and an NRI course code, and no management-quota code. Read ₹25,09,350 as the NRI fee.

Nothing in that table should be multiplied by five. KEA publishes a per-year fee and does not publish a course total. On the government-quota figure alone, four-and-a-half academic years works 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 fee revisions: KEA re-issues this structure every cycle.

Official source: Karnataka Examinations Authority, Medical College-wise Fee Structure 2026-27 (MBBS), issued under Government Order No. MED 218 RGU 2026 dated 14 August 2026 and MED 213 RGU 2026 dated 13 August 2026, row for college code M024 — “Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences, District Hospital, Mandya”; captured 19 August 2026. Both figures were independently confirmed against KEA’s UGNEET-2026 seat-allotment listing, which prints ₹64,350 against every M024MG seat and ₹25,09,350 against M024MN — the two documents agree. Where a fee aggregator quotes a single “MIMS Mandya fee” without naming a seat category, it is not describing what KEA actually publishes.

Beyond the KEA fee, budget realistically for:

• Hostel & mess: government-college hostel and mess charges are modest and billed annually. MIMS Mandya does not publish a hostel tariff on its official site, so this one is not listed — confirm the current rate with the college rather than relying on a figure quoted elsewhere.
• Books, instruments & uniforms: a one-time-ish outlay across the pre-clinical and clinical years.
• University & exam fees: RGUHS registration and per-year examination fees.
• Living costs in Mandya: day-to-day expenses, which are generally lower outside the metros.

Even with these add-ons, the all-in cost of a government-quota MBBS at MIMS Mandya remains dramatically lower than any private or deemed route — which is precisely why government seats are the most contested in Karnataka.

🏨 Hostel, Campus & Student Life at MIMS Mandya

MIMS Mandya provides separate hostel accommodation for boys and girls — most MBBS students, especially those from outside Mandya, stay on or near campus through the pre-clinical and clinical years. Typical facilities include furnished hostel rooms, a mess, a central library, laboratories, sports and recreation, Wi-Fi and round-the-clock security; confirm the current hostel capacity and charges directly with the college, as these are revised periodically.

Life at a medical college revolves around the wards as much as the classroom. Living close to the MIMS Mandya teaching hospital means students can take up clinical postings, casualty duties and exam preparation without a long commute, and the resident peer group — seniors, interns and postgraduates — becomes an everyday part of learning in Mandya.

🚀 Career & Higher Studies After MBBS at MIMS Mandya

An MBBS from MIMS Mandya opens the standard medical career ladder. After the degree and the compulsory rotating internship, graduates typically choose between:

• Postgraduate study (MD/MS/diploma): through NEET-PG / NExT — the most common path, leading to specialisation. Many candidates also target MIMS Mandya’s own or other Karnataka PG seats.
• Clinical practice & registration: registering with the state medical council and practising as a licensed doctor, in government or private healthcare.
• Government service: medical-officer roles via state and central recruitment.
• Other tracks: DNB, USMLE/PLAB for those aiming abroad, public health, research or hospital administration.

The MBBS years are also when you build the foundation for NEET-PG / NExT, so a college with strong clinical exposure — like the high-volume teaching hospital at MIMS Mandya — gives a real edge for postgraduate entrance. Karnataka government MBBS graduates are also subject to a compulsory rural service bond — factor its tenure and penalty into your plans (confirm the current terms).

🎓 Scholarships & Education Loan for MIMS Mandya

Whatever your fee tier, there are recognised ways to fund an MBBS at MIMS Mandya:

• Government scholarships: Karnataka and central post-matric scholarships for SC/ST/OBC/Category-I and minority students, plus income-linked fee concessions and schemes administered through the State Scholarship Portal — check eligibility for your category.
• Education loans: nationalised and private banks fund MBBS against the admission letter and fee structure, with collateral norms easing for government-quota fees and stepping up for management/NRI tuition. Compare interest rates, moratorium and processing terms.
• Institutional & private scholarships: some colleges and trusts offer merit or need-based support — ask the MIMS Mandya admissions office what is currently available.

FindUrCollege can walk cutoff-clearing candidates through the realistic loan and scholarship options for their specific fee tier as part of admission guidance.

🗂️ Documents Checklist for KEA / MCC Counselling 2026

Keep originals and multiple attested photocopies ready before counselling for MIMS Mandya — missing paperwork is one of the commonest reasons candidates lose an allotted seat:

• NEET-UG 2026 admit card and scorecard/result
• Class 10 (SSLC) and Class 12 (PUC/12th) marks cards and pass certificates
• Date-of-birth proof and a government photo ID (Aadhaar/passport)
• Study & conduct certificates / domicile-eligibility documents for the Karnataka state quota (as specified by KEA)
• Category / caste / income certificates where you are claiming reservation or fee concession
• For NRI seats: sponsor documents, relationship proof and the required NRI declarations
• Passport-size photographs and the counselling fee/payment as notified

Always cross-check the exact list against the official KEA and MCC 2026 brochures, since requirements are updated each cycle.

⚠️ Common Counselling Mistakes to Avoid

Every year, well-scoring candidates lose good seats at colleges like MIMS Mandya to avoidable errors. Watch for these:

• Filling too few options: a short or over-ambitious choice list is the single biggest reason capable candidates go unallotted. Build a safe-to-ambitious spread.
• Confusing the routes: KEA (Karnataka), MCC (AIQ/deemed) and the NRI category run in parallel with different rules and deadlines — track each separately.
• Missing deadlines or reporting windows: a single missed registration, fee-payment or reporting date can forfeit a seat.
• Falling for “expert admission guidance” agents: no one can sell a government seat, and an NRI seat is still a NEET-merit allotment at the published KEA fee. Never pay above the published fee.
• Document gaps: incomplete domicile, category or NRI paperwork at verification.

⚖️ State Government vs AIIMS vs Deemed/Private in Karnataka

A Karnataka state government college like MIMS Mandya sits between AIIMS and private options on the value ladder: a low, KEA-set government fee (versus AIIMS’s token fee) but with an 85% home-state quota that makes seats far more attainable for Karnataka-domicile rankers, and versus deemed/private colleges’ ₹25 lakh–₹1.5 crore. The honest rule stays the same — secure the cheapest seat your NEET rank allows. Use our AIQ vs state-quota guide and Karnataka MBBS hub to map your options.
