Yadgiri Institute of Medical Sciences (YIMS) — MBBS Admission 2026

YIMS Yadgiri MBBS Admission 2026 — Complete Guide

Yadgiri Institute of Medical Sciences (YIMS), established in 2022, is a government medical college in Yadgir, Karnataka, affiliated to the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences (RGUHS), Bengaluru, and approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC). Set up to expand medical education and healthcare in the Kalyana-Karnataka region, YIMS runs its MBBS programme alongside the upgraded Yadgir district teaching hospital, giving students hands-on clinical exposure in a region that has historically been under-served by medical seats.

✅ Sourcing: figures use official counselling records (MCC/state) and institute circulars — cutoffs change every round; reconfirm at allotment. No cash payments; official receipts only.

For 2026 applicants, admission is purely on NEET-UG merit across the 150 sanctioned MBBS seats: 128 are filled by the Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) on state quota and 22 by the MCC on All-India Quota. Because YIMS is a recently opened college, its category-wise cut-offs are still settling year to year — rather than quote an unsettled figure, applicants should confirm the KEA government-quota (General-Merit) closing rank for the latest completed round directly on the official KEA portal. The course fee is ₹64,350 per year for the Government quota (KEA, 2026-27), and KEA lists no private, management or NRI tier at this college — which makes YIMS strong value among government options. Hostel, mess and personal expenses are extra, and any service-bond clause should be read in the KEA brochure before you accept a seat.

This guide covers everything a 2026 MBBS applicant needs for YIMS Yadgiri — the affiliation and NMC approval, the 150 seats on offer, the indicative fee structure, eligibility, the step-by-step NEET-UG counselling process, and the career scope after the degree. All details are compiled from official and authoritative sources and should be re-confirmed on the official website and the counselling brochure before you apply.

📊 Key Highlights — YIMS Yadgiri

🏥 The YIMS seat matrix, reconciled across three authorities

YIMS has 150 sanctioned MBBS seats. They are not "about 85% state and about 15% all-India" — the actual numbers are published, and three separate authorities agree on them.

Official sources, and they agree: the National Medical Commission / MARB "MBBS Seat Matrix as on 29-10-2025" (Public Notice N-15029/09/2025-UGMEB) gives row 273, Karnataka, YADGIRI INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES, Govt., 150 seats for AY 2024-25 and 150 for AY 2025-26. The Medical Counselling Committee "Seat Matrix for NEET-UG Counselling 2026" (Ref. U-12021/02/2026-MEC, 5 August 2026) lists institute 200601 with TotalSeat 150 and All-India Quota Seats 22. And the KEA UGNEET-2026 first-round mock allotment of 17 August 2026 allots exactly 128 seats under M087MG. 128 + 22 = 150, independently, three times.

Postgraduate seats: YIMS admitted its first MBBS batch in 2022-23, so the first cohort has not yet graduated. Treat any claimed MD/MS seat matrix at YIMS with suspicion and check the current KEA PG brochure instead.

💰 YIMS Yadgiri Fee Structure 2026

The MBBS course fee at YIMS Yadgiri is set by the Karnataka Examinations Authority in its college-wise medical fee order for 2026-27. KEA publishes four fee tiers across Karnataka medical colleges — Government quota, Private quota, Management and NRI — but for YIMS it lists only the Government-quota tier, because the other three do not exist at this college:

📌 In one line: ₹64,350 per year, Government quota — and that is the only tier YIMS has.

What this fee includes and excludes. ₹64,350 is the KEA-regulated course fee for one academic year. It excludes hostel and mess charges, university and examination fees, books and instruments, and personal living expenses; a college’s own published fee structure may add further heads on top. Nothing here should be multiplied: KEA states the figure per one year and does not publish a course total, and the MBBS course runs 4.5 academic years plus a one-year internship, so a simple ×5 is wrong. Take the payable total from the admission desk at the time of reporting.

Captured 18 August 2026.

🎯 YIMS cut-off — MCC All-India Quota, Round 1 (provisional), 2026

Until now this page said no settled closing rank could be published for YIMS. That has changed for one of the two pools: the MCC has published its Round-1 2026 allotment, and it names YIMS. These are the 22 All-India Quota seats.

Official source: Medical Counselling Committee, "Provisional NEET-UG Counselling Seats Allotment 2026 — Round 1", published 21 August 2026; institute string "Yadgiri Institute of Medical Sciences, Yadgiri, Chittapur Main Road, Yadgiri." No PwD seat was allotted at YIMS in this round.

🏆 The case for YIMS, and the case against it

For. ₹64,350 a year with no tier above it; 128 seats reserved for Karnataka candidates; a 360-bed district hospital with a large under-served catchment, which means volume and first-contact responsibility rather than spectating; and a clean regulatory record for a college this new (no denied batch, no stopped admission, no court-ordered permission).

Against. It opened in 2022, so there is no graduating batch, no PG programme and no outcome data of any kind. The skill lab is still "Under Process". The blood-bank licence in the NMC filing shows validity to December 2024 with no renewal recorded. And at 2.4 hospital beds per MBBS student it is a leaner clinical base than an older Karnataka government college offers.

The honest summary: for a Kalyana-Karnataka candidate whose rank reaches the KEA list, the fee and the seat count make this a strong option. For a candidate weighing it against an established government college on a similar rank, the gaps above are the thing to weigh.

📝 Eligibility — the part that is specific to YIMS

The national requirements (NEET-UG 2026, Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, 17 years of age by 31 December 2026) are identical at every Indian medical college and are set out on our NEET 2026 guide. Only two things are YIMS-specific:

1. Karnataka eligibility under KEA rules puts you in the 128-seat pool. Without it you are eligible only for the 22 All-India Quota seats.
2. The rank you need depends entirely on which pool. In MCC Round 1 of 2026 the All-India Quota seats here closed at rank 18,415 (open) and 20,327 (OBC). The Karnataka state list is separate and reaches considerably deeper.

📝 How you reach YIMS: portals and codes

There is no direct application. YIMS is reached only by naming it inside a counselling portal, and it appears there as a code rather than a name.

You can register for both; the two calendars are independent and an allotment in one does not carry into the other. Anti-tout note: every one of these 150 seats is allotted on NEET-UG merit through those two portals. There is no management seat at YIMS to buy, so anyone offering one is selling something that does not exist.

🎓 Outcomes: what can and cannot honestly be said yet

YIMS received its establishment permission on 18 August 2022, so its first MBBS batch entered in 2022-23 and has not yet completed the 4.5 academic years plus internship. There is therefore no graduating cohort, no NEET-PG conversion rate and no placement record for this college, and nobody can have one. Any site publishing a YIMS "placement percentage" has invented it.

What is documented: the degree is an RGUHS MBBS, recognised by the NMC, which is what qualifies a graduate to register and to sit NEET-PG. The usual destinations from a Karnataka government college are MD/MS through NEET-PG, the state health services, and hospital practice.

🩺 Two doors into YIMS, and no third

YIMS is a state government college, so the entire national taxonomy of counselling routes collapses to two here. 128 seats are allotted by the Karnataka Examinations Authority to candidates with Karnataka eligibility. 22 are allotted by the Medical Counselling Committee from the All-India merit list, with no domicile test. There is no deemed-university route, no management seat and no NRI seat, because KEA publishes no such course code against M087.

If you want the general mechanics of how AIQ, state and deemed counselling differ, they are set out once on our AIQ vs state quota guide rather than repeated on every college page.

📚 The hospital you would actually train in

The MBBS syllabus is the NMC competency-based curriculum and does not vary by college; the phase-by-phase structure is on our MBBS admission guide. What varies is the hospital, and at YIMS that is the district hospital in Yadgir.

Anti-inference note: a bed count is sanctioned capacity. It is not a promise of occupancy, and it is not a claim about how many of those beds are on teaching wards.

✅ What YIMS tells the regulator about itself

A new college is harder to judge than an old one, because there is no outcome record to look at. The one substitute is the institutional pro-forma every college files with the National Medical Commission, which NMC publishes. Here is what YIMS's says, gaps included.

Official source: National Medical Commission, MSMER institutional pro-forma, "College Details" for YADGIRI INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL SCIENCES (msmer.nmc.org.in/public/performaAdminCollegeDetails/yimskar), captured 23 August 2026. Reading note: these are the college's own declarations to the regulator, not inspection findings. We print the "No" rows because a page that prints only the "Yes" rows is not information.

📍 Yadgir, practically

The college is on Chittapur Road, Yadgir, pincode 585202, in the Kalyana-Karnataka region. Three things worth knowing before you rank it:

• The catchment is genuinely under-served, which is why the state put a college here. In clinical terms that means high volume and presentations that arrive late and undifferentiated — harder work, and more of it done by you.
• The hospital came first. District Hospital Yadgiri has been on the health facility register since 2016; the college was attached to it in 2022. You are joining an existing hospital, not a hospital built around a college.
• Yadgir is a district town, not a metro. Plan for on-campus accommodation rather than assuming a rental market exists, and factor travel time to Kalaburagi or Bengaluru into your own decision about being far from home.

🎓 What a YIMS seat costs beyond the fee

At ₹64,350 a year the KEA course fee is the small number. The costs that decide affordability here are hostel and mess, which the college bills separately and KEA does not publish; ask the YIMS office for the current tariff before you commit. Central and Karnataka post-matric scholarships, fee reimbursement and freeship/EWS concessions apply as at any state government college, and the schemes are listed on our Karnataka MBBS guide.

📋 The document that decides which YIMS pool you are in

The standard counselling file is the same at every college and is listed once on our documents required for counselling page. For YIMS one item does the deciding: Karnataka eligibility or nativity proof. With it, you are competing for 128 seats. Without it, you are competing for 22, and in MCC Round 1 of 2026 those 22 closed at All-India Rank 18,415 in the open category.

🚀 Should YIMS be on your KEA option list?

Put it high if you hold Karnataka eligibility and your rank is in range of the KEA government list: 128 seats at ₹64,350 a year, with no management tier above you bidding the seat away, is as good as the arithmetic of Indian medical admission gets.

Weigh it carefully if you are coming through the All-India Quota. There are 22 such seats, all gone in Round 1 of 2026 at 18,415 (open), and at that rank you will have alternatives with a graduating batch and a working skill lab behind them.

Confirm two things before you accept a seat: the hostel and mess tariff, which KEA does not publish and which is the real cost here, and the service-bond clause in the current KEA brochure. If you want help placing YIMS in the right position on your option list for your actual rank, our counselling desk will do it with you free of charge.
