Admission Pathways at KGMU

KGMU is a Government institution — all seats are allotted through official counselling based on NEET UG merit. No Management Quota is available, but there are multiple legitimate pathways for MBBS & Medical aspirants.

All-India Quota (AIQ) — 15% of Seats

The All-India Quota reserves 15% of $KGMU seats for candidates nationwide, allotted through the central counselling authority based on NEET UG All-India rank. These are the most competitive seats at KGMU — open to candidates from any state without domicile restrictions.

Uttar Pradesh State Quota — 85% of Seats

85% of seats are reserved for Uttar Pradesh domicile candidates through the state counselling authority. Domicile eligibility typically requires continuous residence or schooling within Uttar Pradesh. Cutoffs through state quota are usually 1–3 percentile points lower than AIQ for the same category.

NRI Quota — 12 Seats

NRI Quota seats at KGMU are available to Non-Resident Indians, OCI/PIO holders, and Indian students sponsored by a first-degree NRI relative. Eligibility requires a valid NEET UG score plus sponsor documentation (foreign passport/OCI, residency/employment proof, apostilled relationship certificate). Fees are quoted partly or fully in foreign currency. Admission Bridges manages apostille coordination and FEMA-compliant fee remittance advisory.

Institutional / Reserved Seats

Institutional seats cover category-reserved pathways (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), women-specific reservations where applicable, PwD seats, and other regulatory reservations. Admission Bridges advises on documentation for each reserved pathway to ensure eligibility is correctly claimed during KGMU counselling.
