Mahadevappa Rampure Medical College, Kalaburagi, Gulbarga Admissions 2026, Courses, Fees & Cutoffs

---

MRMC was established in 1963 when the Karnataka Government decided to set up its state medical college in Bellary instead of Gulbarga — depriving the underserved HK region of a medical institution. The Hyderabad Karnataka Education Society, under Sri Mahadevappa Rampure, stepped in to establish a private medical college. In 1972, MRMC received recognition from MCI — becoming only the SECOND PRIVATE MEDICAL COLLEGE IN INDIA to receive MCI recognition after KMC Manipal. It also received recognition from the British Medical Council (now GMC, UK). This 60+ year legacy makes it one of India's most historically important private medical colleges.

MRMC is technically a private medical college run by the Hyderabad Karnataka Education Society (HKES) — a non-profit educational society. However, it is sometimes described as 'semi-government' because HKES was established to serve the HK region's public interest, most admissions go through KEA government-administered counselling, and fees are regulated by the Karnataka FDC. It is NOT a Government of Karnataka college.
