Seth GS Medical College & KEM Hospital, Mumbai — MBBS Admission 2026

Seth GS (KEM) MBBS Admission 2026 — Complete Guide

Seth Gordhandas Sunderdas Medical College sits at Acharya Donde Marg, Parel, Mumbai 400012, attached to King Edward Memorial Hospital, which was registered on 15 January 1926. It is run by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai — a corporation college rather than a State-Government one, a distinction that matters for its fee — and examined by Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik. Its NMC recognition status is Permanent.

✅ How we source the numbers on this page: seats come from the NMC seat matrix and the MCC NEET-UG 2026 seat matrix; the All-India-Quota closing ranks from the MCC's own Round-1 allotment file; the beds, recognition history and hostel figures from the college's NMC disclosure proforma on kem.edu. No aggregator is used. Where we could not source a figure — the college's own current fee circular, the bond amount — we say “not listed” instead of estimating.

The seat count is 250, and for 2026 the split is not an estimate: the MCC's seat matrix assigns 38 of them to the All-India Quota, leaving 212 for Maharashtra CAP. In the MCC's Round-1 provisional allotment those 38 seats closed at All-India Rank 1,128 in the Open category — the hard number that tells you what this college costs in rank terms, and one of the toughest MBBS closings outside the AIIMS network.

One piece of history explains the 250: the college was recognised for 180 MBBS seats and was permitted to increase from 180 to 250 under the EWS quota (103rd Constitutional Amendment) from 2019-20. So the intake you are competing for is only a few years old, and roughly 70 of the 250 seats exist because of that expansion.

🏥 MBBS Seats & Programmes at Seth GS (KEM)

In one line: 250 sanctioned MBBS seats, of which 38 are All-India Quota and 212 go through Maharashtra CAP — that split is published, not estimated.

The MCC’s NEET-UG 2026 seat matrix carries this college as institute code 200226, Maharashtra, MBBS, All India quota, 250 total seats, 38 in that quota. The NMC’s own seat matrix records 250 seats for both AY 2024-25 and AY 2025-26, so the intake is stable. Alongside MBBS the college admitted 279 MD/MS and 60 DM/M.Ch students in the session covered by its NMC disclosure proforma — a postgraduate body larger than the undergraduate one, which is what puts residents on every ward an MBBS student rotates through.

📚 The MBBS course here

The NMC's competency-based curriculum, the three phases, the 4.5 academic years and the one-year compulsory rotating internship are set nationally and are the same at every Indian medical college — our MBBS admission guide sets them out in full. What is local to Seth GS is the examining university, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences, Nashik (the college was under Bombay/Mumbai University until 3 June 1995), and the fact that clinical postings run on the wards of a hospital that registers its inpatients and outpatients in the hundreds of thousands each year.

📍 The hospital you would actually train in

In one line: the case load is the reason to want this college, and the two official figures for it do not agree — which is worth knowing before you quote either.

KEM Hospital's own “About” page describes it as 1,800 bedded, treating about 1.8 million out-patients and 85,000 in-patients a year, funded mainly by the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai, with the college training about 2,000 students across undergraduate, postgraduate and super-speciality courses. The college's own NMC disclosure proforma, filed for regulatory purposes, states 2,250 beds including 40 emergency beds, and records 2,091,111 outpatient registrations and 88,390 inpatient admissions in 2019 (with lower COVID-era numbers for 2020 and 2021).

Both are the institution's own published figures; the higher bed count is the regulatory filing and the lower one the public-facing page. Use the proforma figure when a form asks for sanctioned bed strength and treat 1,800 as the descriptive figure. Either way this is one of the highest-volume teaching hospitals in India, which is what drives clinical exposure — and it is in Parel, so factor Mumbai cost of living into your planning, not just the fee.

📋 Documents for counselling

The document set is common to all NEET-UG counselling and we keep it in one place: see documents for counselling. Two items are decided by which route allots you the seat — the Maharashtra domicile/nativity proof is needed only for the 212 CAP seats, not for the 38 All-India-Quota seats, and the service bond is signed at reporting. Cross-check against the CAP information brochure and the MCC prospectus for the year, which are the only lists that bind.
