You need an MBBS degree, completed internship and a permanent registration certificate. You must also qualify NEET PG. MCC or KEA checks these papers before the institute admits you. If the internship date misses the NMC limit, you cannot join this MS seat.

| Exam | Write NEET PG and get a rank |
| Counselling | Register on MCC for deemed university seats or on KEA if allowed |
| Choice filling | Pick MS General Surgery at KMC Manipal |

The resident stipend used here is INR 6.75 LPA and the paid residency rate is 100%. Every allotted MS resident works in the teaching hospital during the course. The stipend is pay during training, not a corporate placement. Use it for loan planning, not for comparing jobs.

| Paid residency training | 100% |
| Work setting | KMC teaching hospital and surgery units |

| NIRF Medical | 2025 | #9 |
| Government of India | 2026 | Institution of Eminence |
