SDM Medical College Dharwad FAQs
Which institution and university does this page cover?
SDM College of Medical Sciences and Hospital, Dharwad. Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University. SDM’s campus history describes development from 2003, while its mandatory disclosure records the first MBBS letter of permission in July 2004. These are different milestones. Its current institutional disclosure names Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara University, rather than relying on an older affiliation label.
What is the MBBS route?
NEET UG → Karnataka KEA registration, option entry and seat allotment. An enquiry does not allot a seat; the current examination and category conditions still apply.
What is the dated MBBS intake?
150 in the NMC 2026–27 table dated 18 September 2026. This is total dated intake, not a vacancy count.
Which programmes are listed?
1 MBBS, 17 MD, 5 MS, 1 PG Diploma, 4 M.Ch, 2 DM. Each has an individual card. Institutional fellowships and university M.Sc. courses are not represented as NMC specialist degrees.
Where does clinical learning happen?
The attached SDM hospital provides broad clinical, diagnostic and specialist services. The university also identifies skills and research laboratories. These facilities create a clinical learning setting; they do not establish student procedure numbers, a research publication guarantee or a placement outcome.
Which fees can I use?
Linked as 2026–27 amenities schedule. The PDF itself is not dated; its college admissions link labels it for 2026–27. This is an amenities schedule, not base tuition, a full-course bill or a hostel/deposit quote. No missing tuition amount is constructed from it.
Is hostel included in tuition?
Academic and residential charges remain separately labelled. Read the fee section for any room-specific publication; no unstated meal or deposit inclusion is assumed.
Is the rank table an official closing cutoff?
Where shown, it contains calculated observed AIR extrema from exact-college final Round 1 2026 MCC allotments. It is not an official opening/closing-cutoff table or prediction. Missing KEA evidence is not filled with an invented rank.
How do postgraduate admissions differ?
NEET PG → applicable KEA postgraduate medical counselling; DM/M.Ch via NEET SS and MCC. Exact specialty eligibility and the current session matrix are essential.
What should I do before reporting?
SDM’s 2026–27 checklist includes KEA application, allotment and verification records, NEET 2026 documents, school records and applicable category evidence. It identifies university eligibility formalities for relevant candidates and asks for scans as well as required originals.
Can MedCollege reserve a medical seat?
No. The internal contact links are for guidance. Examination, counselling, allocation, reporting and institutional payments remain separate regulated processes.
Does a reviewed field mean the whole profile is verified?
No. Selected facts were reviewed on 17 October 2026. Missing financial, rank, facility-metric and outcome evidence remains a limitation. Fifteen other section bodies retain their earlier content and are not newly fact-audited by this batch.
