Total Course Cost Under Management Quota

The full 5.5 year MBBS course costs Rs 60 lakh to Rs 1.5 crore. From April 2026, the NMC has capped tuition to 4.5 academic years. The one year internship after that must be tuition free. This rule applies to all private and deemed medical colleges.

How Does Management Quota MBBS Admission Work?

Management quota does not mean admission without NEET UG. Candidates must clear NEET UG 2026 with the qualifying percentile. That is the 50th percentile for General and EWS candidates. It is the 40th percentile for SC, ST and OBC candidates.

State counselling boards allot these seats, not the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The MCC handles only 15 percent All India Quota and central institutes. Private and deemed college management seats go through state counselling routes.

NMC 50 Percent Fee Cap Rule

The NMC issued an office memorandum in 2022 on private college fees. Under it, 50 percent seats must charge government college fees. The Supreme Court is reviewing the order after High Court challenges. Students should confirm the applicable fee before locking a seat.
