The number that matters. Management quota MBBS at SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital costs ₹36,15,000 per year for 2026, and NRI quota costs ₹36,15,000 per year, both per the Karnataka Examinations Authority's own published fee table. A deemed university sets its own fee structure within NMC and state oversight, and its Government quota seats (where any exist) are typically filled through the KEA state counselling round reserved for deemed institutions, while Management and NRI seats follow the university's own declared rates — the same rates published in this KEA notification.

The Teaching Hospital

Ask This Before
You Rank It on Your List

Fee is one number. The other number that decides whether five and a half years here builds a competent doctor is how many patients pass through the attached teaching hospital — and published bed-count figures for SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital vary too widely across sources for us to state one with confidence. That is itself worth knowing: ask the college directly for its current bed strength and daily OPD footfall, in writing, before you rank it on your KEA choice list. A college that answers this plainly is telling you something; one that deflects is telling you something too.

For Northeast India Students

Where SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital
Fits Your Actual Budget

Karnataka is the largest private medical college market most Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur and wider Northeast families ever consider, precisely because Assam has no private medical college of its own. That makes a college like SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital a genuine option — but ₹36,15,000 a year is roughly ₹1,80,75,000–₹1,98,82,500 across the full course before hostel, mess and university charges, and that number needs to fit your family's actual finances, not an average family's.

We are a Guwahati-based consultancy that has worked Karnataka admissions since 2008. We will tell you plainly whether SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital is reachable on your NEET UG 2026 rank and affordable on your budget — and just as plainly if it is not.
