Fee Structure 2025

As a government college, the tuition fee is heavily subsidized. Based on official notices:

• For MBBS, the annual fee (tuition etc.) is INR 6,500 for all categories (All India Quota & State Quota) as per the 2025 admission notice. 

• In earlier years, reports also list “Rs. 40,500/-” as fee in some sources (likely inclusive of more charges or older structure) 

• The State Quota 2024 admission notice shows fees payable: Rs. 6,500 for all categories, with an admission fee of Rs. 1,000 non-refundable. 

• Other costs (hostel, mess, library, caution deposits, etc.) are charged separately and vary by year.

Because this is new, some components (hostel, other charges) may not yet have stable published rates.

Hence, overall, the cost of obtaining an MBBS here is extremely economical compared to many private institutions.
