Government Medical College, Kottayam

Government Medical College, Kottayam is based at Gandhinagar. The college lists KUHS-affiliated MBBS, postgraduate, super-specialty and allied-health programmes. Its 18 August 2026 fee notice has separate General and eligible Kerala SC/ST/OEC columns, with some state-quota payments routed through CEE. These distinctions are important when calculating the remaining balance payable at the college.

Kerala CEE · State Merit (SM) · college code KTM. These are Kerala state-list ranks, not NEET All India Ranks.

CEE Phase 2 tables: 25 September 2025 and 14 September 2026. Phase 1 intervals use the corresponding published first-phase tables. These historical observations do not establish present vacancies.

Older institutional descriptions can retain a different intake for their own publication period. The dated matrix above is kept separate from category allocation, student strength and current counselling vacancies.

The college’s history records the first admitted batch’s move to the Kottayam campus in January 1963, after earlier study at Thiruvananthapuram. MD Medicine and MS Surgery began in 1973–74. The later campus locality became Gandhinagar; historical intake milestones are not current admission permissions.

Separate the college, hospital and wider campus units when checking an admission choice. The history explains how the institution developed; permission and round-wise seats require a session-specific record.

The institutional history distinguishes Medical College Hospital and the Institute of Child Health. Those settings help explain general adult and child-health training. Departmental programmes and current clinical postings should be checked separately from the hospital network’s historical development.

For MBBS, compare the progression from foundational sciences to supervised clinical postings and internship. For postgraduate study, ask about the exact specialty’s case mix, duties, supervision and practical assessments. A hospital bed count cannot be converted into a promised number of procedures for each student.

The Central Library page describes an 895-square-metre facility near the Administrative Block, 200 user seats and 23,899 books. It identifies NML-ERMED and ONOS electronic resources, Koha automation, reading/reference sections and a government-scheme book bank for SC/ST students. The page restricts lending membership to teachers and PG students; undergraduate reading access must not be assumed to equal those lending privileges.

At orientation, confirm membership, lending limits, identity-card requirements and digital credentials. Reference access, borrowing and off-campus electronic access may be different services. Course textbooks, current guidelines and journal access serve different learning needs, so one collection total is not an academic-quality score.

The published accommodation table separates UG men’s and women’s hostels, PG accommodation and house-surgeon quarters. Its 2023 page lists UG capacities of 190 and 306 respectively; these are historical listed capacities, not available rooms. Nursing and paramedical accommodation have separate entries.

Prepare a relocation checklist alongside the fee budget: reporting documents, room-allotment process, travel arrangements, deposits and the start of classes. Ask whether mess is mandatory, whether accommodation is shared, and what is included in the stated hostel collection. An institution’s hostel description is not proof of a room currently being available.

Original editorial illustrations; not campus photographs or evidence of a specific facility.

Government Medical College Kottayam was established in 1962 and inaugurated on 3 December that year. The institution describes its role in medical teaching and tertiary patient care for central Kerala. Its course information identifies Kerala University of Health Sciences as the affiliating university.
