The Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) has published the Medical College-Wise Fee Structure 2026-27 for MBBS admissions. The fee details have been issued based on the 2026 Karnataka Government Orders No. MED 218 RGU 2026 dated August 14, 2026, and MED 213 RGU 2026 dated August 13, 2026.
The fee document covers Government, Minority, Private UnAided and Private/Deemed University medical colleges and specifies the applicable fees for different seat categories.
For most Government medical colleges listed in the KEA fee structure, the annual Government fee is around INR 64,350.
For example, the fee listed for Bangalore Medical College is INR 64,350 per year under the Government category. Similar Government fees of INR 64,350 are listed for several institutions including Mysore Medical College, Mandya Institute of Medical Sciences, Karnataka Institute of Medical Sciences, Vijayanagar Institute of Medical Sciences and Bidar Institute of Medical Sciences.
Some institutions have different government fees. The ESI Medical College, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru has a listed Government fee of INR 1,08,350, while ESI Medical College, Gulbarga has a Government fee of INR 1,09,350.
The fee structure also includes Karnataka's Minority and Private UnAided medical colleges. The annual fees are substantially higher than the Government category and vary according to the college and seat category.
For several Minority colleges, the document lists a Government-category fee of approximately INR 1,53,571, with Private fees around INR 12,00,117 and Management/NRI fees varying by institution.
For example, The Oxford Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Bengaluru, has listed fees of approximately INR 1,53,571 for Government, INR 12,00,117 for Private and INR 34,11,950 for Management, with the NRI fee listed separately.

Institute of Medical Sciences, Al-Ameen Medical College, Navodaya Medical College, Father Muller Institute of Medical Education & Research and Subbaiah Institute of Medical Sciences, have separate fee amounts for Government, Private, Management and NRI categories.
KEA has also provided fee details for numerous Private UnAided medical colleges.

For example, the listed fee for M.S. Ramaiah Medical College is INR 25,15,000 under the Private category and INR 45,00,000 under Management and NRI categories.
Other Private/Deemed University institutions listed in the document include JSS Medical College, KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research, Kasturba Medical College, Yenepoya Medical College, K.S. Hegde Medical Academy and BGS Medical College and Hospital, among others.
KEA has specified that all fees mentioned in the fee structure are in Indian Rupees and are applicable per one year.
Therefore, candidates should not consider the listed amount as the complete four-and-a-half-year MBBS tuition cost. Students should verify the applicable annual fee and other admission-related charges with the concerned authority/college before completing admission.
Candidates participating in Karnataka NEET UG 2026 counselling should check the fee applicable to their college and seat category before exercising their choices.
The difference between Government, Private, Management and NRI fees can be substantial. Candidates should therefore consider college preference, category, fee structure and eligibility while preparing their option-entry choices.
