Current Status — KIMS Karwar NEET UG 2026 Cutoff

As of 15 August 2026, the NEET UG 2026 cutoff for Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Karwar has not yet been officially released. This is expected, since college-wise closing ranks are only published after each round of seat allotment is completed by the respective counselling authority. The NEET UG 2026 re-exam (for candidates affected by the original exam cycle) was held on 21 June 2026, and the Karnataka NEET UG 2026 counselling registration window has already closed, with round-wise counselling and seat allotment dates yet to be formally announced by KEA. Until the official 2026 cutoff is declared, candidates can use the previous years’ (2025, 2024, 2023) closing ranks as a reliable reference point to gauge their admission chances at KIMS Karwar.

2025 — AIQ, OBC (Last Round) Closing Rank ~21,967

Note: These are previous-year (2023–2025) closing ranks/scores shared here purely as a reference trend — they are NOT the NEET UG 2026 cutoff. Cutoffs vary year to year based on NEET difficulty level, total applicants, seat matrix changes, and category-wise reservation. Wide rank ranges reflect variation across different rounds, quotas and sub-categories (Round 1 vs. last round/mop-up, AIQ vs. State Quota).

Factors That Will Influence the KIMS Karwar NEET UG 2026 Cutoff

  • Difficulty level of NEET UG 2026: A tougher paper generally pushes cutoff ranks (numerically) higher, and vice versa
  • Total number of candidates and MBBS seats: More applicants competing for the same/limited seats tightens the cutoff
  • Category-wise reservation: SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD reservation percentages directly affect each category’s respective closing rank
  • Round number: Cutoffs typically relax significantly from Round 1 to later rounds (Round 2, Mop-Up, Stray Vacancy) as seats remain unfilled
  • Quota type: All India Quota (15%) and State/Karnataka Quota (85%) cutoffs differ, since they draw from different applicant pools and merit lists
  • College preference trends: Being one of the newer government medical colleges (established 2016) in a coastal town, demand and preference patterns can shift the cutoff from year to year

KIMS Karwar Admission & Counselling Process 2026

  • Step 1: Qualify NEET UG 2026 with the required minimum percentile
  • Step 2: Register separately for KEA (State Quota, 85% seats) and/or MCC (All India Quota, 15% seats) counselling, as applicable
  • Step 3: Complete document verification as specified by the respective counselling authority
  • Step 4: Fill choices/preferences carefully, including Karwar Institute of Medical Sciences if interested
  • Step 5: Check seat allotment result after each round; if allotted KIMS Karwar, report to the college within the specified reporting window with all original documents
  • Step 6: Pay the requisite admission/tuition fee and complete the joining formalities to confirm the seat

Note: Candidates not satisfied with their allotted seat, or who miss a round, can participate in the next round (Round 2, Mop-Up, or Stray Vacancy round), subject to seat availability and eligibility.

KIMS Karwar — Seat Matrix & Fee Snapshot

Particulars Details
Total MBBS Intake ~150 Seats
All India Quota (AIQ) 15% of Total Seats — via MCC Counselling
State/Karnataka Quota 85% of Total Seats — via KEA Counselling
Management/NRI Quota Not Applicable — KIMS Karwar is a Government College with No Alternate Higher-Fee Seat Category
MBBS Course Fee (2026-27, Interim) As per Karnataka State Level Fee Determination Committee (Subject to Revision) — Government College Fee Structure, Significantly Lower than Private Medical Colleges

Important Points for Candidates Aiming for KIMS Karwar 2026

  • Since KIMS Karwar is the only medical college in Uttara Kannada district, if your rank falls short of the cutoff here, there is no other seat option within the same college (no Management or NRI quota alternative) — you would need to look at other colleges
  • Always have a backup plan with a few alternative colleges/quotas ready, in case your rank narrowly misses the KIMS Karwar cutoff in a given round
  • Round-wise cutoffs typically become progressively more relaxed — a rank that misses Round 1 might still qualify in Round 2, Mop-Up, or Stray Vacancy rounds
  • Track both KEA (state quota) and MCC (AIQ) counselling schedules separately, as they run independently with different registration and choice-filling timelines
  • Keep all original documents (NEET admit card, scorecard, 10th/12th marksheets, category certificates, domicile proof, etc.) ready well before the reporting deadline for seat confirmation
