King George's Medical University

What is the average package at King George's Medical University?

King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow does not publish a single consolidated average CTC figure; instead the official NIRF disclosure reports course-wise median packages, which for the 2025 placement cycle stood at ₹12 LPA for MBBS, ₹9 LPA for BDS and around ₹16-16.5 LPA for postgraduate (MD/MS and MDS) doctors. The highest package recorded was ₹30,00,000 (₹30 LPA) in both 2025 and 2024, while the overall placement rate was 86.30% in 2025 and 92.80% in 2024. As a government medical university (NIRF Medical rank 8 in 2025, overall rank 83), KGMU's earning outcomes are driven by clinical residencies, hospital postings and ICMR/AIIMS-linked roles rather than corporate CTC, so medians are the most honest measure of a KGMU graduate's starting salary.

Branch/Course-Wise Package Breakdown

The table below answers the most common question an aspirant asks: which KGMU course pays the most. Because KGMU reports medians (not a per-branch average) in its NIRF data, the "Average Package" column reflects that the university does not separately publish a mean CTC, while the "Median Package" column carries the actual verified 2025 figures. The highest package shown (₹30 LPA) is the university-wide top offer for the cycle. Read each row as the typical earning a placed graduate of that programme took home in 2025.

The clear takeaway for 2025 is that KGMU's postgraduate dental and medical specialists earn the most, with MDS leading at a ₹16.5 LPA median and MD/MS at ₹16 LPA, comfortably ahead of the MBBS median of ₹12 LPA and the BDS median of ₹9 LPA. For an applicant this means the financial reward at KGMU compounds with specialisation: an undergraduate seat is the entry point, but the higher medians sit with the three-year PG cohorts.

Year-Wise Package Trend

This table tracks how KGMU's reported packages have moved across the 2024 and 2025 NIRF disclosure cycles, so you can judge whether earning outcomes are rising. KGMU does not release a university-wide mean, so the "Average" column notes that no single average is published, while the "Median" column shows the representative MBBS/PG medians and the "Highest" column the top offer. Use it to see the direction of travel rather than a single headline number.

The trend shows stability at the top end, with the highest package holding at ₹30 LPA across 2024 and 2025, and a modest upward nudge in the PG median from ₹15 LPA in 2024 to ₹16 LPA in 2025. The MBBS median was steady at ₹12 LPA. For 2026, KGMU's figures are not yet released; aspirants should expect the same ₹12 LPA MBBS / ₹16 LPA PG band unless the NIRF 2026 report revises it.

Notable Offers & Package Distribution

The standout number at KGMU is the ₹30 LPA highest package, repeated in both the 2024 and 2025 cycles, typically captured by postgraduate super-specialists rather than fresh MBBS graduates. In 2025 KGMU's placement cell reported 629 students placed in total, comprising 336 undergraduates and 293 postgraduates, against an overall placement rate of 86.30%; in 2024 that rate was higher at 92.80%. The distribution is therefore bimodal: a large mass of MBBS and BDS graduates clustered around the ₹9-12 LPA median (the volume tier), and a premium tier of MD/MS and MDS doctors near ₹16-16.5 LPA stretching up to the ₹30 LPA ceiling.

Course-level placement counts reinforce this picture. In 2025, 184 of 250 MBBS students and 52 of 58 BDS students were placed, while the PG side saw 319 of 342 three-year postgraduates and a full 42 of 42 MDS candidates (100%) placed. Recruiters and absorbing institutions named for KGMU graduates include AIIMS Delhi, Apollo Hospitals, Fortis Healthcare, Max Healthcare, Medanta and ICMR, alongside government health services. The practical signal for an applicant is that KGMU's near-universal MDS placement and ₹16.5 LPA median make postgraduate dentistry and medical specialisation the most reliable route to the higher end of the package band.
