Undergraduate admission routes differ by subject. Medical, dental and AYUSH applicants need NEET UG, while nursing, pharmacy and paramedical applicants follow the relevant CEE Kerala or KEAM process.
NEET UG 2026 is the common entrance examination for these high-demand programmes. KUHS has 296 affiliated colleges under these streams.
| Programme | Academic requirement | Admission route |
|---|---|---|
| MBBS and BDS | Pass 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English. General-category students need at least 50%. | NEET UG score followed by counselling through CEE Kerala or MCC. |
| BAMS, BHMS, BSMS and BUMS | Complete 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English, with a minimum of 50% for the General category. |
The NEET UG All India merit rank determines selection. UG medical and dental admission does not include an interview. Communal reservation, which allocates seats according to reservation categories, also applies during allotment.
| Programme | Annual fee |
|---|---|
| MBBS at government colleges | INR 1,13,000 |
| BDS | INR 1,20,000 to INR 2,50,000 |
| BAMS | Starting from INR 59,000 |
Disclaimer: Subject to revision. Kindly check with the official sources to confirm
These fee figures are for reference. Confirm the applicable amount with the college or through kuhs.ac.in. Self-financing colleges charge higher MBBS fees than government colleges.
Student feedback places the KUHS curriculum among Kerala's best, while describing the syllabus as demanding and tightly scheduled. It also highlights experienced faculty and strong campus placement exposure for medical graduates.
NEET is not the admission test for nursing, pharmacy and paramedical programmes. These streams use CEE Kerala admission procedures, with a state entrance examination or KEAM merit where applicable.
| Programme | Academic requirement | Selection and counselling |
|---|---|---|
| B.Sc Nursing | 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English, with at least 45% marks. | CEE Kerala merit and counselling. |
| B.Pharm and Paramedical | 10+2 with Physics and Chemistry, along with Biology or Mathematics. | KEAM merit followed by CEE Kerala counselling. |
KUHS-affiliated colleges also admit students to physiotherapy, laboratory technology and post-basic nursing courses through the routes below.
| Programme | Required entrance route | Counselling authority |
|---|---|---|
| BPT | CEE Kerala entrance examination. | CEE Kerala. |
| B.Sc Medical Lab Technology | KEAM or CEE Kerala. | CEE Kerala. |
| Post Basic B.Sc Nursing | CEE Kerala entrance examination. | CEE Kerala. |
Entrance merit and centralised seat allocation decide selection; colleges do not hold a separate admission test. For B.Pharm and paramedical seats, KEAM merit forms the basis of allotment.
Postgraduate applicants follow the entrance route for their field. MD and MS require NEET PG 2026; dental postgraduate admission uses NEET MDS. M.Sc Nursing has a separate CEE Kerala nursing entrance examination.
| Programme | Required qualification | Selection route |
|---|---|---|
| MD and MS | MBBS, permanent registration and completion of the internship. | NEET PG score, followed by MCC or CEE Kerala counselling. |
| MDS | BDS, permanent registration and completion of the internship. | NEET MDS score, followed by MCC or CEE Kerala counselling. |
For medical PG admission, selection follows NEET PG merit. Allotment divides seats equally between the All India and state quotas.
Government PG medical seats in Kerala include a service bond, an obligation to serve under specified conditions. Before locking a college preference, check the bond amount and the terms for rural postings.
M.Sc Nursing selection uses the separate CEE Kerala PG Nursing entrance test and online counselling. MPT also follows a CEE Kerala entrance route.
| Programme | Eligibility or entrance requirement | Selection and counselling |
|---|---|---|
| M.Sc Nursing | B.Sc Nursing, registration and one year of experience. | CEE Kerala PG Nursing entrance examination and counselling. |
| MPT | CEE Kerala entrance examination. | CEE Kerala. |
CEE Kerala prepares the entrance rank list and conducts centralised allotment. There is no additional college-level examination.
KUHS handles PhD admission directly, rather than through its affiliated colleges. This is the only programme for which the university conducts its own admission test.
Admission has two stages. Entrance-test performance determines the shortlist, after which the university interviews shortlisted applicants to make the final selection.
| Stage | Purpose |
|---|---|
| KUHS PhD entrance examination | Shortlists applicants for the next stage. |
| University interview | Determines final admission. |
| Fee component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total PhD fee | INR 3,30,000 |
| Annual PhD fee | INR 1,10,000 |
Disclaimer: Subject to revision. Kindly check with the official sources to confirm
Use these amounts as reference figures. Contact the university or visit kuhs.ac.in to confirm the fee payable.
Affiliated colleges also offer diploma programmes. The applicable admission route depends on the stream; PG Diploma courses use NEET PG and centralised counselling.
| Programme | Required examination | Counselling authorities |
|---|---|---|
| PG Diploma courses | NEET PG. | MCC and CEE Kerala. |
Applicants qualify through NEET PG and participate in the relevant MCC or CEE Kerala counselling process for seat allotment.
Financial support for KUHS students includes state and central schemes. Eligibility depends on the student's category, income and merit.

Ans. Admission to MBBS, BDS and AYUSH programmes requires NEET UG. KUHS does not provide an alternative entrance route for these courses.
Ques. Where should applicants register to take part in seat allotment?
Ans. Register with CEE Kerala for the state quota and with MCC for the All India Quota. The university does not conduct a separate UG counselling process.
Ques. Is there a university-level seat category that bypasses centralised counselling?
Ans. KUHS has no university-level management quota or direct-entry option. Seats are allocated through NEET merit and centralised counselling.

Ques. Does an interview affect the allotment of undergraduate medical and dental seats?
Ans. No interview forms part of UG medical or dental selection. NEET rank and communal reservation determine the merit-based allotment.
Ques. How much should students budget annually for government-college MBBS tuition?
Ans. The annual MBBS fee at government colleges is INR 1,13,000. Students choosing self-financing colleges pay higher fees.
Ques. What steps decide an M.Sc Nursing seat?
Ans. Applicants take the separate PG Nursing entrance examination held by CEE Kerala. Online counselling then allocates seats.
Ques. Which merit list governs pharmacy and paramedical allotment?
Ans. KEAM merit is used for B.Pharm and paramedical admission. CEE Kerala allocates the seats through its counselling process.
Ques. For which admission does the university itself set an entrance test?
