Have a question related to KMC Manipal ?

Can I get admission in kmc Manipal after 3rd round of counselling? My neet score is 491 and my category is general, domicile of Rajasthan

Hello,

With a NEET score of 491 and General category, it is very difficult to get admission in Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal after the 3rd round of counselling.

As per previous year data, the cut-off for General category in KMC Manipal was around 540–560 marks in earlier rounds. Also, domicile of Rajasthan does not provide any benefit because KMC Manipal is a Deemed University , and admissions are done through All India Deemed University counselling by MCC .

You can still participate in mop-up or stray vacancy rounds , but chances are low for a seat in KMC Manipal at your score.

Hope it helps !

Can I get admission in kmc Manipal after 3rd round of counselling? My neet score is 491 and my category is general, domicile of Rajasthan

Hello,

Based on previous year trends, admission in KMC Manipal with a NEET score of 491 (General category) is very unlikely .

In 2024 and 2023, the closing ranks for General category at KMC Manipal were around 39,000–46,000 in Round 2 of MCC counselling. A score of 491 usually corresponds to a much higher rank than this.

Also, KMC Manipal is a Deemed University , so state domicile (Rajasthan) is not considered, admission is through the All India Deemed University quota only.

You can still keep KMC Manipal as an option in later rounds, but chances of getting a seat after the 3rd round are very low based on previous cut-off trends.

Hope it helps !

Can I get admission in kmc Manipal after 3rd round of counselling? My neet score is 491 and my category is general, domicile of Rajasthan

Hey there,

If you achieved a NEET 2025 score of 491, belong to the general category, and are a Rajasthan resident, there is a very slim chance that you can get admission in Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal after the third round of counselling.

However, it is not entirely out of the question depending on the variation of cutoff trends. KMC Manipal is considered among the best private medical colleges in India. Its cutoff for MBBS general category admissions through All India counselling or the Management/NRI quota generally ranges between 540 and 560 marks in the initial rounds.

Yet, at the mop-up or stray vacancy rounds, the cutoff point occasionally lowers marginally  approximately 500 or a little less  in the case of unoccupied seats resulting from the withdrawal of candidates or their shifting to government colleges. You have almost 492 marks which is a little less than the normal cutoff range.

So, you will be able to register for the mop-up as well as the stray vacancy rounds that will be held by MAHE (Manipal Academy of Higher Education) and MCC to try your luck. Moreover, KMC has some management quota seats that are given at a higher fee but have more relaxed cutoffs. Therefore, it may not be possible to get a merit seat, but if you are willing to take the management quota or later rounds, you still have a very slim chance.
