FAQs

All admissions to Kempegowda Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS) are based on results and marks obtained in the national level NEET entrance test. The higher the rank, the better your chances of getting a seat at a medical college of your choice. An important point to note is NEET is for all medical and dental colleges approved by MCI and DCI and not for AIIMS and JIPMER, which were set up by acts of the Indian parliament. With over 25 years of experience in counselling and helping students with admissions, BangaloreStudy is your one-stop solution for medical admissions.
