Kasturba Medical College (KMC) Cutoff

2027-28 status and scope

As of 6 November 2026, I could not verify an official closing-rank table for Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Mangalore, MBBS for 2027-28. No numeric cutoff is quoted here. The current MAHE admissions page is for NEET 2026 and separates two MBBS counselling routes that include KMC Mangalore: DGHS / Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA). Its list places KMC Mangalore under MCC alongside KMC Manipal and under KEA as KMC Mangalore specifically. These are different counselling pools, so a closing rank from one route cannot stand in for the other. See MAHE's NEET admissions page and confirm the applicable route in the official notice for your admission year.

The official pages reviewed do not provide a single campus-wide KMC cutoff. A useful closing rank must identify the programme, KMC Mangalore campus, counselling authority, quota or category, round, and year. Results may also be provisional or revised. The MCC archive lists 2026 UG bulletin and schedules, a provisional Round 1 result, revised Round 1 results, Round 2 results, Round 3 results and a Stray Vacancy result. That sequence is a reason to use the final applicable result, not to combine early and revised files. The MCC UG archive and current UG schedule page are the official places to check for notices and result links.

How to compare a closing rank

For MBBS counselling, a cutoff table commonly reports the rank of the last allotted candidate for a specified seat pool and round. Do not read that rank as a NEET score. The NEET score and the candidate's all-India rank are separate measures; a score-to-rank relationship can change by exam edition, so a score from one year should not be compared directly with another year's closing rank.

Before using a published number, check its row and document title for all of these: KMC Mangalore rather than KMC Manipal; MBBS rather than a postgraduate or dental programme; MCC or KEA counselling; the seat quota and candidate category; the round and whether the result is provisional, revised or final; and the admission year. The MAHE page makes the campus distinction visible in its programme list, while MCC maintains round-specific notices and results in its archive. A table that omits one of these qualifiers may be useful as a lead, but it is not an apples-to-apples estimate of a particular seat.

Do not use MAHE's general online-counselling cutoff display as an MBBS cutoff for this college. On the page reviewed, the KMC Mangalore entry is followed by an MSc Medical cutoff link. The MBBS route is shown separately on the NEET page. Likewise, numbers for KMC Manipal or for another MAHE institution do not become Mangalore MBBS data because the names share the KMC brand.

Where to check and what to do

For a 2027-28 application, first confirm which counselling authority lists the seat you are considering in the official 2027-28 notices. The MAHE NEET page currently documents the 2026 route split; it does not establish next year's schedule or closing ranks. Once the relevant counselling portal publishes its seat matrix and results, use the final result for the exact round and pool. Search within the document for the official institute name or code, then preserve the source file and result date with your notes. If the document shows provisional and revised versions, use the later applicable version and do not mix its rows with a different round.

Compare your own eligibility and rank to the same pool, not just to a headline cutoff. Check whether the number is an all-India rank, state rank, NEET marks or a merit-list position. Confirm that the seat category matches your application, and that the candidate type and quota match where the authority distinguishes them. A closing rank only describes the last recorded allotment in that defined pool; it does not promise that a candidate with a nearby rank will receive the same seat in another year or round. Seat availability, choices filled and the authority's rules can change the outcome. If you are deciding whether to participate, use the current authority's eligibility, registration and choice-filling instructions, not a prior-year cutoff alone.

For MCC counselling, start from the MCC UG archive and follow the current session's information bulletin, schedule and final result notices. For the Karnataka route, follow KEA's official MBBS counselling notices and result documents. MAHE's page identifies KEA Karnataka as the authority for the KMC Mangalore MBBS route; it does not replace KEA's own seat and result documents. Use MAHE's NEET admissions page to cross-check that the campus and programme still appear under the route you intend to use.

The next reliable update for this page is an official result with a clearly identifiable KMC Mangalore MBBS row and complete year, authority, quota/category and round labels. Until that evidence is available, 2027-28 closing ranks and score ranges remain unknown. No 2026 closing value is carried forward or presented as a forecast.
