Located in Karad, Maharashtra, the Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) is a constituent college of Krishna Vishwa Vidyapeeth (Deemed-to-be University). Holding a prestigious NAAC A+ accreditation, KIMS Karad is consistently ranked among the top medical institutions in Western India and is unique for its massive clinical volume and "quaternary healthcare" centre status.
The KIMS Karad Edge — Clinical & Academic Excellence
1. High-Volume Tertiary Teaching Hospital
The institution is attached to the Krishna Hospital and Medical Research Centre — a 1,125-bed multi-specialty hospital.
- Patient Flow: Serves a large rural and semi-urban population in Maharashtra. The diversity of cases is rare for a private college, giving MBBS students unmatched clinical insights.
- Specialised Care: Advanced departments in Organ Transplantation, Oncology (Krishna Cancer Institute), and Cardiac Sciences.
2. Infrastructure & Skill Labs
- Simulation Centre: Dedicated skill lab where students practise emergency protocols and surgical basics on advanced mannequins.
- 55-Acre Green Campus: Self-contained ecosystem with high-tech lecture halls, a 24/7 library with global digital journal access, and extensive sports facilities.
MBBS Seat Matrix — 2026 Admission Categories
Admissions at KIMS are conducted strictly through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) centralised process. Total intake: 250 seats.
1. General / Merit Seats — 85% Quota
- For Indian nationals; allotted purely on NEET-UG 2026 All India Rank.
- Pathway: registration through the "Deemed University" category on the MCC portal.
- Cutoff guidance: generally 325+ marks in NEET will secure a seat.
2. NRI Seats — 15% Quota
- Reserved for NRIs and candidates sponsored by NRI relatives. Just being NEET-eligible (qualifying percentile) is sufficient.
- Strategy: sponsorship documents must be verified for full MCC compliance — a frequent point of failure for first-time applicants.
Official Tuition Fees — 2026 Session
Based on the official Krishna Vishwa Vidyapeeth fee structure. Important: note the mandatory annual increment for general/merit seats.
| Category | First-Year Tuition Fee | Increment Policy |
|---|---|---|

| NRI Seats (15%) | $ 50,000 (USD) | Fixed in USD for the duration of the course. |

⚠️ Total Course Cost — General Category
