Cutoffs & Admission Trends
Because GMC Karimnagar is new, cutoff history is limited but some data is available for previous years / rounds, especially for All India Quota (AIQ) rounds:
Recent Cutoff Trends (AIQ / NEET UG)
2025, Round 2 (General AIQ): Closing rank ~ 22,982
2024, Round 2 (General AIQ): Closing rank ~ 20,901
2023, AIQ General, Round 1: ~ 16,060
Category-wise (2024) – All India Quota:
• OBC: closing ~ 21,303 / 22,556 in some rounds
• EWS: ~ 25,007 in some rounds
• SC / ST: closing ranks vary widely in AIQ rounds, sometimes large numbers owing to fewer seats or lower demand
Because the college is new and competition may intensify, the safe target for a candidate should be better (higher rank / more marks) than the closing rank of prior years.
Projected Target for 2025 (General / Reserved)
General / Open (AIQ): Aim for Top 15,000–25,000 AIR (or equivalently strong NEET score)
OBC / Reserved categories: A somewhat lower AIR / marks buffer, but still competitive
State Quota Ranks (Telangana): These will differ — your state rank matters more in that quota.
Placements, Internship & Career Path
Internship: After academic years, students complete a 1-year rotating internship in clinical departments of the attached hospital.
Stipend: Paid as per Telangana / KNRUHS / state norms (early career stipend)
Post-MBBS Career Options:
• Appear for NEET-PG / INI-CET to enter MD / MS / super-specialty courses
• Join government health services / district hospitals in Telangana
• Private practice, teaching roles, hospital jobs
• Research, public health, administrative roles
Since medicine does not follow a typical “placement drive,” success depends on exam scores, specialty interest, reputation, and networking.

Hostels: Yes, hostel facilities are provided.
Hostel Setup: Temporary hostels currently in use; permanent hostels under development. Rooms may be shared (2–3 per room) initially.
Amenities: Basic furniture (bed, study table, storage), common rooms, reading spaces, mess, security, water/electricity, internet infrastructure planned.
Campus Facilities: Labs, library, classrooms, demonstration rooms, hospital departments, emergency, OPD, diagnostic labs.

Ranking & Reputation
As a very new institution (established 2023), GMC Karimnagar does not yet feature prominently in national rankings or NIRF listings.
Over the next few years, reputation will build based on:
Clinical exposure & patient load
Faculty quality & retention
Research output & publications
Infrastructure growth & student feedback
In Telangana, the college is likely to be viewed favorably as a government option near home for many candidates.
