Fee Structure

The fee data for GMC Kanker shows variance and should be confirmed officially, but indicative values are:

• Annual tuition fee for MBBS: ~ INR 2,25,000

• This is the tuition component; other charges (hostel, labs, exam fees, etc.) will be extra.

• Because it is a government medical college, subsidised rates may apply for certain quotas or categories.

Cutoffs & Ranks

NEET-UG cutoff ranks for GMC Kanker have been published in recent years. Below are indicative trends:

• For the General (All India quota) in Round 2, in 2025, the closing NEET rank for MBBS was ~ 22,431

• In earlier years:
    • 2024 general closing rank: ~ 82,482 (in state quotas or certain rounds)
    • 2023 general closing rank: ~ 80,739

• Cutoffs vary by quota (All India, state, reserved categories like OBC/SC/ST).

Because the college is relatively new and intake is increasing, these ranks may shift year to year.

Placements & Career Opportunities

As with most medical colleges, “placement” in the traditional campus-to-company sense is limited. Key opportunities include:

• Internship: After MBBS, students undertake a 1-year compulsory internship (rotating through departments) with stipend (as per state government norms)

• Postgraduate studies / Specialization: Many MBBS graduates will compete in NEET-PG for MD / MS / diploma courses

• Government service / medical officer roles: Many graduates may take up roles in government hospitals, rural health centers, or district hospitals

• Private practice / hospital jobs / teaching / research: Over time as the college and attached hospital strengthen, graduates may get roles in teaching hospitals, private hospitals, or academic research

Because GMC Kanker is new, large scale data on “highest package” or placement percentages is not publicly documented yet.

Ranking & Reputation

• Given its recent establishment, it does not yet have a long track record of national rankings.

• Some listings place it among rising medical colleges in Chhattisgarh; for example, it has been ranked ~ 289 at the all-India level in some databases, and among top ~ 8 in Chhattisgarh in state lists.

• The reputation is building based on government backing, infrastructure development, and its role in improving medical services in the Kanker / Bastar region.
