Why MGM Aurangabad is on every Marathwada shortlist
MGM Medical College, Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) is the medical wing of MGM Institute of Health Sciences (MGMIHS) — the same deemed-to-be-university that operates the Navi Mumbai campus. The Aurangabad campus serves as the apex tertiary referral centre for the Marathwada region, with a 1,000-bed charitable hospital, a 250-seat MBBS programme split 212 Paid + 38 NRI, and one of the broader diagnostic infrastructures in Maharashtra outside the Mumbai-Pune belt.
The three direct-admission pathways
1. Management Quota / Paid Seat
A statutorily reserved share of seats in deemed universities, allocated to candidates who fund unaided medical education. At MGM Aurangabad this is the 212-seat Deemed/Paid pool. The fee filters the applicant pool, so a candidate with a low NEET score but a qualifying status has a realistic shot.
2. Institute Level Quota
Used interchangeably with paid seat at deemed universities. All admission today is routed through the MCC's centralised deemed counselling — there is no offline or "direct" entry outside it.
3. NRI Quota
MGM Aurangabad allocates 38 of 250 seats to NRI candidates. Open to NRI, OCI, and PIO candidates, and to Indian students sponsored by a first-degree NRI relative.
The only NEET threshold that matters
For direct admission via these quotas, NEET rank is not the gate — NEET qualification is. As long as your scorecard reads "Eligible" against your category (50th percentile for General; 40th for reserved categories), you can legally apply. Below qualifying percentile, no quota — Paid or NRI — can place you. Anyone promising otherwise is selling a fraud.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get direct admission without qualifying NEET?
No. Qualifying NEET is the statutory floor for any MBBS admission in India. Without it, no quota — Paid or NRI — is legally available. Per MGM's own notification: "Admission is not allowed/can not be done at college level" — all admissions are exclusively through MCC counselling.
My NEET score is barely above the passing mark. Is it still possible to get a seat at MGM Aurangabad?
Yes. With 212 Paid and 38 NRI seats, the applicant pool per seat is materially smaller than the government merit list. The factors that decide allotment are correct category selection, complete documentation, and well-ordered choice filling on the MCC portal — not rank.
What is the all-in Year-1 cost for the Paid Seat category?
Tuition ₹23,50,000 + Other Fees (one-time) ₹1,60,000 + University Registration & Eligibility ₹1,17,500 = ₹26,27,500 at admission. Of this, ₹1,00,000 (Caution Deposit) is refundable on course completion.
What about the ₹2 lakh deposit I pay to MCC?
Per MGM's notification: the ₹2,00,000 deposit paid to DGHS-MCC at the time of registration will be refunded directly by the MCC authority to the account from which the payment was made, after completion of the counselling process, if you are eligible for the refund.
How is tuition for Year 2 and Year 3 collected?
Per MGM's notification, the college collects two post-dated cheques at admission for tuition fees due on 10th October 2026 (Year 2) and 10th October 2027 (Year 3). Fees for those years will be "as applicable" — confirmed by the university at the appropriate time.
Does an MBBS from a paid seat hold the same value as a government-college degree?
Yes. NMC-recognised MBBS, accepted across India for PG entrance and registration. Regardless of the quota you enter through, you study the same curriculum, rotate through the same 1,000-bed teaching hospital, and graduate with the identical qualification from MGMIHS.
Can an Indian candidate apply under the NRI quota at MGM Aurangabad?
Yes — if sponsored by a first-degree NRI relative (blood-related uncle, aunt, or grandparent abroad) per Supreme Court guidelines, with the sponsor formally undertaking the tuition.
Take the right step forward
A low NEET score does not decide the trajectory of a medical career. The Paid Seat and NRI Quota pathways exist precisely to give qualified, dedicated candidates a fair route into a world-class education. MGM Aurangabad offers that route at an MGMIHS-deemed institution with a 250-seat MBBS programme, a 1,000-bed tertiary teaching hospital, and a fully published fee notification with every line item on the record.
The complexity is in the counselling — not the eligibility. Sponsor affidavits, embassy attestations, document verification, and choice filling under tight MCC deadlines are where families lose seats they were otherwise qualified for. We handle that end-to-end. Confidential. Transparent. Pay only after admission.
