Seats allotted through KEA counselling in private colleges carry the lowest fees, typically a few lakhs per year, and are allotted strictly on NEET merit.
Management quota
Management seats in Karnataka private colleges generally run between roughly ₹18 lakhs and ₹1 crore for the full course depending on the institution and its reputation.
NRI quota
NRI seats carry the highest tuition, usually quoted in USD, and require documentary proof of NRI sponsorship.
