Admissions in Kerala are handled by two separate authorities:
Unlike many other states, Kerala is a **"Closed State"** for PG medical admissions.
Kerala is renowned for its high-quality government institutions, which are the top choice for Keralite students. These seats have a very high-penalty service bond.
Kerala has several highly-regarded private and Christian minority self-financing colleges. All seats (Govt, Management, Minority, NRI) in these colleges are allotted by **CEE Kerala**.
Kerala has one of India's most in-demand Deemed Universities. **All seats** (General, Management, NRI) in this college are filled *only* by the central **MCC**.
The fee structure in Kerala is strictly regulated by the state's Fee Regulatory Committee. *Fees are subject to change.*
| College/Quota Type | Eligibility | Approx. Annual Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Government College | Kerala Domicile / AIQ | ₹1,00,000 - ₹2,00,000 |
| Private College (Govt. Quota) | Kerala Domicile | ₹7,00,000 - ₹12,00,000 |
| Private College (Mgmt./Minority) | Kerala Domicile (Minority) | ₹15,00,000 - ₹25,00,000 |
| Private College (NRI Quota) | NRI Sponsored | ₹25,00,000 - ₹45,00,000 |

Service Bond: Kerala has one of the **strictest and highest-penalty service bonds** in India for candidates taking PG seats in **Government Colleges**. This applies to **both AIQ and State Quota** candidates.
It is essential to read the bond conditions in the CEE/MCC prospectus before accepting a government college seat in Kerala.
Stipend: PG students in government colleges receive a good monthly stipend. Stipends in private and deemed colleges are also paid as per their policies.
Candidates must have the following documents ready for verification:
The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, conducts the state counseling for all government and state private/minority medical colleges. Counseling for Deemed Universities (like Amrita) is conducted by the MCC.
No, Kerala is a 'Closed State'. Only candidates with Kerala domicile are eligible for State Quota seats in both government and private colleges. Non-domicile candidates can only apply for Deemed University seats (via MCC) or NRI/Management quota seats.
Top government colleges include Government Medical College (Thiruvananthapuram), Government Medical College (Kozhikode), Government Medical College (Kottayam), and Government Medical College (Thrissur).
The top Deemed University (counseled by MCC) is Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences (AIMS), Kochi. Top state private/minority colleges (counseled by CEE) include Jubilee Mission (Thrissur) and Pushpagiri (Thiruvalla).
Kerala has a very strict and high-penalty service bond. Candidates taking seats in government colleges (both AIQ and State Quota) must serve for 1-2 years, with a penalty that can be ₹50 Lakhs to ₹1.5 Crore for defaulting.
