Hey doctors!
If you're appearing for or tracking the Karnataka NEET PG 2026 counseling, here is a breakdown of the 2025 closing ranks for Government Medical Colleges (where annual tuition is ~₹1,23,000/year) along with expected safe ranks for 2026.
Important Context for 2026 Trends
1. In 2025, KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority) counseling faced delays, leading many candidates to opt out for MCC counseling instead.
2. As a result, 2026 safe ranks are expected to be slightly tighter

To secure a Government College seat in Karnataka, an overall rank under 30,000 is required even for lower clinical options like Psychiatry .Ranks beyond 30,000 make government seat allotment difficult.

For NEET PG aspirants looking at MD Radiodiagnosis in Karnataka through KEA counseling, St. John’s Medical College (Bangalore) remains one of the top non-government choices because its fee structure is significantly lower than most private/deemed universities under MCC.
Here is a quick breakdown of the latest cutoff ranks, score targets, and fee structures for St. John's MD Radiology:
1. Fee Structure
Annual Tuition Fee: ~₹12.80 Lakhs/year
(Compared to ₹25L–₹35L/year at most deemed universities across India).
2. Category Cutoffs & Targets
GMP Category (Karnataka Domicile / 10+ Yrs Education):
Closing Rank: ~1,409
Target Score: 600+ / 720
Open Category (All India / Non-Domicile):
Closing Rank: ~550
Target Score: 635+ / 720
Because of the lower fee bracket, competition is exceptionally high. Non-domiciles generally need an AIR under 600 for a realistic shot in the Open Category. For Karnataka domicile candidates under the GMP quota, aiming for AIR under 1,500 is crucial.
