MBBS Fees Increase in Karnataka for 2024-25

The fees for undergraduate medical courses in Karnataka private colleges have increased by 10% for the 2024-25 academic year. This decision follows negotiations between the state government and private medical college managements.

  • Government quota seats: The annual fee for government quota seats has increased from Rs 1,28,746 to Rs 1,40,621.
  • Private seats: The annual fee for private seats has increased from Rs 9,94,906 to Rs 11,88,167.
  • Government medical colleges: The fees for government medical colleges remain unchanged at Rs 50,000 per year.
  • NRI seats: A decision on seat sharing for NRI candidates is pending due to ongoing legal proceedings.
  • The fee hike was driven by factors such as increased maintenance costs, staff salary hikes, and other operational expenses faced by private medical colleges. While the government initially resisted a steeper fee increase, the final agreement settled on a 10% hike.

This fee increase may impact the affordability of medical education for many students in Karnataka. It is important for prospective medical students to consider the financial implications of pursuing a medical degree in the state.
