RRMCH Admission Process
NEET performance determines admission to the RRMCH MBBS programme. Of the 250 seats, 15% are under AIQ and are allotted by MCC. KEA Karnataka fills the state quota and management quota seats, while the college directly manages the 38 NRI seats.
MBBS Admission
Applicants must pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. They need at least a 50% aggregate in PCB, while SC, ST, and OBC applicants need 40%. A valid NEET UG score is compulsory, and Karnataka domicile is needed for state quota admission.
- Complete registration on the KEA Karnataka counselling portal.
- Attend document verification and enter course and college choices.
- Wait for allotment based on NEET rank, category, and domicile.
- Report to RRMCH with all original documents after receiving a seat.
- Pay the required fee to confirm admission.
MBBS Cutoff
In MCC Round 2 of 2026, the AIQ General Category closing rank for RRMCH MBBS was 5,05,316. The higher closing rank number is linked to the college filling many seats through the management and NRI categories, where fees are higher and competition for merit seats is lower than at government colleges. KEA separately processes the Karnataka closing ranks for management quota seats.
MD, MS, DM, and M.Ch Admission
Applicants seeking MD or MS admission must qualify through NEET PG. KEA Karnataka is responsible for the state quota MD and MS allotments. Admission to DM and M.Ch is based on NEET SS, and MCC fills all super-specialty seats through AIQ. A relevant MD degree is required for DM, while M.Ch applicants need the appropriate MS qualification.
B.Sc Allied Health and Diploma Programmes
KEA Karnataka admits students to B.Sc Allied Health Science courses according to 10+2 merit. Available fields include Anesthesia Technology, Cardiac Care Technology, Optometry, Renal Dialysis, and Medical Imaging. Diploma applicants are selected directly on merit. For both programme groups, the minimum academic requirement is 10+2 with PCB.
