How Does Admission to Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad Work in 2026?
There is no direct admission and no management quota at Gandhi Medical College. Every seat is allotted by NEET UG rank through one of two counselling routes. Read our NEET counselling guide for how the national process works.
Route 1: MCC All India Quota counselling
Register on the MCC UG counselling website and pay the fee.
Fill and lock choices, listing Gandhi Medical College, Secunderabad, in your order of preference.
Check the seat allotment result for each round.
Report to the college with original documents within the reporting dates.
Choose Freeze or Float if you want to keep the seat or try for a better one in the next round.
For 2026, the MCC schedule for Rounds 2, 3 and 4 set Round 3 reporting from 1 to 9 October 2026. MCC posted the provisional Round 3 result on 30 September 2026. Our MCC Round 3 guide covers the rules for that round. A stray vacancy round follows; see the NEET UG 2026 stray vacancy round.
Route 2: KNRUHS Telangana state quota counselling
Step in 2026 | Date | What happens |
|---|---|---|
Online registration | 5 to 12 August 2026 | Apply and upload certificates on the KNRUHS admissions portal |
Final merit list | 28 August 2026 | KNRUHS publishes the state merit list by NEET rank |
Phase 1 web options | 29 August to 1 September 2026 | Candidates list colleges in order of preference |
Phase 2 web options | 11 to 14 September 2026 | Vacant seats offered, as per the phase 2 notification |
Phase 2 allotment | 15 September 2026 | KNRUHS publishes the college-wise allotment list |
Two KNRUHS rules catch families out. A candidate who skipped web options in phase 1 cannot take part in phase 2. A candidate who is allotted a seat and does not join loses the right to use web options in later phases. New notices appear on the KNRUHS admission notifications page.
What Are the MBBS Fees at Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad?

What Is the NEET Cutoff for Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad?
The NEET cutoff for Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad is the rank of the last student given a seat. It differs by quota and category. The tables below are built from the official allotment lists. Our NEET cutoffs page explains how closing ranks work.
Gandhi Medical College All India Quota closing ranks (MCC)
These are the highest NEET ranks given a Gandhi Medical College All India Quota seat. Sources are the MCC 2025 Round 1 result, the MCC 2026 Round 1 result and the MCC 2026 Round 2 result.
Category | 2025 Round 1 | 2026 Round 1 | 2026 after Round 2 |
|---|---|---|---|
Open | 2,173 | 2,756 | 3,222 |
OBC | 3,554 | 4,352 | 4,352 |
EWS | 4,977 | 4,691 | 4,537 |
SC | 33,424 | 26,995 | 39,544 |
ST | 49,216 | 34,802 | 34,802 |
The pattern is clear. Unreserved All India Quota seats here go to students inside roughly the top 3,000 ranks in India. Open closed about 600 ranks later in 2026 Round 1 than in 2025 Round 1.
Gandhi Medical College Telangana state quota closing ranks (KNRUHS)
These figures come from the KNRUHS allotment list after the second phase of 2026. They show the highest NEET UG 2026 rank allotted in each category, leaving out special categories such as disability and armed forces quotas. Marks are taken from the KNRUHS final merit list.
Category | Closing NEET rank 2026 | NEET marks (out of 720) |
|---|---|---|
Open (unreserved) | 10,557 | 598 |
Open seats reserved for women | 11,472 | 596 |
EWS | 27,626 | 563 |
BC-B | 24,408 | 568 |
BC-D | 26,401 | 565 |
BC-E | 25,053 | 567 |
BC-A | 58,490 | 527 |
SC Group III | 47,387 | 538 |
SC Group II | 88,312 | 501 |
ST | 78,263 | 509 |
A Telangana student has a much wider window through the state quota than through the All India Quota. An unreserved local candidate around rank 10,500 reached Gandhi Medical College in 2026, against roughly 3,000 in the All India Quota.

Documents Required for Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad Admission
The KNRUHS prospectus lists the documents to upload at registration for the state quota. The originals are checked again when the student joins the college.
NEET UG 2026 score card.
Class 10 (SSC) marks memo, used as proof of date of birth.
Intermediate or 10+2 marks memo. Grade certificates are not accepted.
Study certificates for Classes 9 and 10, and for both Intermediate years, to prove local status.
Transfer certificate from the Intermediate college.
Community certificate issued online by a Telangana revenue officer, if claiming reservation. Only BC-A to BC-E certificates count; a central OBC certificate is not accepted for the state quota. SC candidates need the sub-group (Group I, II or III) on the certificate.
EWS income and asset certificate for 2026 to 2027, issued by a Telangana Tahsildar on or after 1 April 2026, if applicable.
Residence certificate for four years, for candidates who did not attend school.
Aadhaar card, a recent passport-size photo and a specimen signature.
What to carry when joining Gandhi Medical College
Allotment order and application printout. The allotment order downloads only after the Rs. 12,000 university fee is paid.
All original certificates and one set of self-attested copies. The college admission committee checks them; a mismatch cancels the allotment.
A notarised affidavit on non-judicial stamp paper, signed by the student and parent, confirming that all certificates are genuine.
The Rs. 20 lakh discontinuation bond on Rs. 100 stamp paper, and an anti-drug undertaking.
Fee payment. The college fee by demand draft or online transfer to the account given on the fee structure page. All India Quota students also pay the Rs. 12,000 KNRUHS fee by demand draft.
What Happens If You Leave Gandhi Medical College After Joining?
A state quota student cannot leave the course after the cut-off date for discontinuation without paying Rs. 20 lakh under the bond in the KNRUHS prospectus. Families should treat this as a firm commitment before joining. An All India Quota student follows the MCC rules on Freeze, Float and resignation for each round instead.
KNRUHS also sets attendance rules. A student absent for more than two years in total loses the seat. The MBBS degree must be completed within double the course duration, or the maximum time NMC allows.
Gandhi Hospital: Clinical Training at Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad
Gandhi Hospital has 2,016 beds, according to the college history page. The bed strength rose from 1,012 to 2,016 under a Telangana government order dated 29 November 2024.

MBBS Results and Postgraduate Seats at Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad
The college publishes its own exam results. In the first-year MBBS exams of September 2025, 232 of the 250 students in the 2024 to 2025 batch passed, a pass rate of 92.8%.

If a Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad Seat Does Not Come Through
Most NEET candidates will not reach the closing ranks above. There are three realistic next steps.
Widen your Telangana choices. KNRUHS puts no limit on the number of colleges you list. Hyderabad has a second large government college; see Osmania Medical College, Hyderabad.
Stay in the All India Quota rounds. Seats open up in Round 3 and the stray vacancy round as students upgrade or resign.
Compare MBBS abroad. futureMBBS works with 23 partner universities in 9 countries, mostly in the European Union. Our guide to MBBS abroad explains the NMC rules that apply.
Conclusion
Gandhi Medical College Hyderabad offers 250 MBBS seats, a 2,016-bed teaching hospital and fees of about Rs. 29,000 at admission. Entry is tight. All India Quota Open seats closed near rank 3,000 in 2026, and unreserved state quota seats near rank 10,500. Telangana students have the wider window, but the Rs. 20 lakh discontinuation bond makes joining a firm commitment.
