Hostel Fees
The official 2025–26 MBBS admission brochure lists:

The same fee document lists the MBBS fee structure for different Maharashtra student categories. For the general category with annual family income above ₹8 lakh, the listed total admission-related amount was ₹1,62,100, before applicable hostel charges.
Current 2026–27 Fees
Do not carry the 2025–26 fee forward as the 2026–27 fee.
The college is currently publishing its 2026–27 UG admission information, so the latest official fee notification should be used when available.
10. Placements / Career & Clinical Opportunities

Major career pathways after MBBS include:
- Compulsory internship
- Junior Residency
- NEET-PG
- MD/MS specialisation
- Government medical services
- Private healthcare
- Public health
- Medical research
- Academic medicine

Admission Katta Recommendation

Instead highlight:
100 MBBS Seats → NEET-UG → Multiple Associated Hospitals → Clinical Exposure → Internship → Future PG Opportunities
Because the institution is new, graduate placement statistics are not yet meaningful.
