AdmiScan Fee & Cutoff Intelligence
Karnataka NEET 2025 MBBS Fees vs Cutoffs: What historical data shows
AdmiScan analysed 163 college-seat profiles across 65 college codes and four seat types. Instead of publishing a generic “cheapest colleges” list, this report compares fee bands with historical median closing ranks so affordability and admission context remain visible together.
Important data-quality note
One MBBS-GOVT profile contains a ₹0 fee value. AdmiScan treats it as anomalous or unknown rather than interpreting it as free tuition. Headline affordability claims therefore use medians and verified non-zero examples instead of that single value.
Fee bands and historical median closing ranks
The table keeps seat types separate. MBBS-GOVT, MBBS-PRIV and MBBS-NRI describe the seat records in the AdmiScan dataset; they are not claims about college ownership.
| Seat type | Fee band | Profiles | Median fee | Median closing rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS-GOVT | <₹1 lakh | 23 | ₹64,350 | 54,926 |
| MBBS-GOVT | ₹1 lakh–₹2.5 lakh | 40 | ₹1,53,571 | 79,629 |
| MBBS-PRIV | ₹10 lakh–₹15 lakh | 25 | ₹12,00,117 | 1,10,446 |
| MBBS-PRIV | ₹15 lakh–₹25 lakh | 9 | ₹22,15,000 | 2,38,200 |
| MBBS-NRI | ₹25 lakh+ | 24 | ₹35,13,475 | 10,21,904 |
MBBS-GOVT · <₹1 lakh
One source record has a ₹0 fee value and is treated as anomalous/unknown rather than as a free-fee claim.
MBBS-GOVT · ₹1 lakh–₹2.5 lakh
Observed fee range ₹1,09,350–₹1,82,371.
MBBS-PRIV · ₹10 lakh–₹15 lakh
Historical median closing-rank range across these profiles: 66,108–1,34,329.
MBBS-PRIV · ₹15 lakh–₹25 lakh
Observed fee range ₹16,29,965–₹22,40,750.
MBBS-NRI · ₹25 lakh+
Observed fee range ₹25,09,350–₹45,40,750.
What stands out
Private-quota profiles split into very different fee bands
The 25 MBBS-PRIV profiles in the ₹10–15 lakh band had a median fee of ₹12,00,117 and median closing rank of 1,10,446. Nine profiles in the ₹15–25 lakh band had a much higher median fee of ₹22,15,000 and median closing rank of 2,38,200.
NRI profiles occupied a very different affordability range
All 24 MBBS-NRI profiles in this aggregate fell in the ₹25 lakh+ band, with a median fee of ₹35,13,475 and median closing rank of 10,21,904. These records should not be mixed with government- or private-quota comparisons.
Exact college-seat examples from the dataset
These examples are included to make the aggregate analysis auditable. They are not recommendations and do not imply that the same fee or cutoff will apply in the current counselling year.
| Seat type | College | Historical fee | Median closing rank | Cutoff observations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS-GOVT | Yadgiri Institute of Medical Sciences | ₹64,350 | 82,344 | 73 |
| MBBS-GOVT | Farookh Academy of Medical Education Hospital and Research Institute | ₹1,53,571 | 1,74,169 | 6 |
| MBBS-PRIV | St John Medical College | ₹8,10,535 | 1,40,849 | 20 |
| MBBS-PRIV | SRI CHAMUNDESHWARI MEDICAL COLLEGE | ₹12,00,117 | 1,34,329 | 10 |
How to use this data
Compare within the same seat type. A ₹12 lakh MBBS-PRIV profile and a ₹64,350 MBBS-GOVT profile represent different counselling contexts.
Use median rank as context, not a threshold. Category and round-specific cutoffs can differ materially from the median.
Check current fees before choice filling. Historical 2025 fee records can change and should not replace current KEA fee notices.
Pair affordability with round movement. A college that looks attractive on fee alone may still have volatile or category-specific closing-rank behaviour.
Frequently asked questions
Does a lower fee mean a college is easier to get?
No. Fee and closing rank describe different dimensions. AdmiScan shows them together so students can compare historical affordability and rank context without turning either into an admission guarantee.
Why does this page use median closing rank instead of one cutoff?
A college-seat profile can contain multiple categories and rounds. The median reduces the chance that one unusually high or low category-round cutoff dominates the comparison.
Is a ₹0 fee record treated as free tuition?
No. One source profile contains a zero fee value. AdmiScan treats that as anomalous or unknown and does not use it to claim free tuition.
Can I use these 2025 fee and cutoff figures as 2026 fees?
No. This is historical 2025 analysis. Current fees, seat matrices and counselling rules must be checked against the latest Karnataka Examinations Authority information.
