King George's Medical University

What is the fee structure at King George's Medical University?

The fee structure at King George's Medical University (KGMU), Lucknow ranges from about Rs 99,700 for its three-year postgraduate medical programmes (MD, MS and MDS) to Rs 1,23,000 for the 5.5-year MBBS and Rs 1,36,000 for the 5.0-year BDS, as per the 2026 fee data. Because KGMU is a Uttar Pradesh government university, these figures are a fraction of what private and deemed medical colleges charge, where MBBS alone can cross Rs 50 lakh to Rs 1 crore. The amounts quoted here are the full programme tuition and academic charges; hostel, mess and one-time caution-money deposits are billed separately and are detailed in the sections below. For the popular MBBS course, students typically pay roughly Rs 41,600 in the first year and the balance over the remaining years, with reputable portals reporting a total outlay near Rs 1.46 lakh once caution and other charges are added.

KGMU admits students strictly through national entrance exams: MBBS and BDS through NEET-UG, MD/MS through NEET PG, MDS through NEET MDS, and DM/MCh through NEET SS, while B.Sc Nursing, M.Sc Nursing, MPH and PhD are filled via the university's own entrance tests. This page sets out the exact course-wise fees for 2026, year-wise changes across 2024-2026, and the scholarships that reduce the effective cost at KGMU.

Course-Wise Fee Structure (2026)

The table below lists the total programme fee for every major course at King George's Medical University for the 2026 session, alongside the duration and an indicative split between tuition and other academic charges. It answers the most common applicant question: "How much will my full course cost at KGMU?" Read each row as the complete fee for the entire programme (not per year), and treat the "Other Charges" column as the registration, examination, caution-money and miscellaneous academic heads that sit on top of tuition. Where the university has not published a separate consolidated figure, the cell is marked "Not published."

The clear takeaway for 2026 is that KGMU keeps medicine affordable: MBBS at Rs 1,23,000 for 5.5 years works out to barely Rs 22,000-23,000 per year, and the three postgraduate degrees (MD, MS, MDS) are uniformly priced at Rs 99,700, so the cost does not change with specialty. BDS is the costliest undergraduate option at Rs 1,36,000 because of its dental-materials and laboratory heads. Applicants to B.Sc/M.Sc Nursing, MPH, DM, MCh and PhD should confirm the exact head-wise fee with the KGMU registrar at admission, as the university notifies these annually and a consolidated figure was not separately published at the time of writing.

Year-Wise Fee Changes

This section tracks how the headline MBBS fee at King George's Medical University has moved across 2024, 2025 and 2026 so applicants can judge whether to budget for a hike. The short answer: KGMU's MBBS fee has stayed broadly flat and remains close to Rs 1.23-1.46 lakh for the full course, with no steep government-mandated increase reported for the 2026 intake. The table reads left to right as the academic session and the corresponding total MBBS course fee reported for that year.

The pattern across 2024-2026 is reassuring for cost-conscious families: KGMU has not pushed through the kind of double-digit fee increases sometimes seen at private medical colleges. Small year-on-year differences in the reported total usually reflect revisions to caution money, examination or development heads rather than a genuine tuition rise. Because the 2026-27 head-wise notification is released close to counselling, treat the figures above as a planning baseline and verify the final demand note issued by KGMU at the time of admission.

Scholarships & Fee Waivers at King George's Medical University

King George's Medical University lowers the effective fee through a mix of central, state and institutional scholarships rather than blanket tuition waivers, since its base fee is already heavily subsidised. The headline supports for KGMU students are the Government of Uttar Pradesh post-matric scholarship and fee reimbursement for SC, ST and OBC students, the National Scholarship Portal (NSP) merit and means schemes, the Ishan Uday scholarship for candidates from the North Eastern states, and the Indira Gandhi Single Girl Child Scholarship for postgraduate students.

For SC and ST applicants the practical impact is significant: reputable portals report the SC/ST MBBS outlay at KGMU at around Rs 84,600 for the course versus roughly Rs 1.46 lakh for general-category students, with the balance typically covered through UP government post-matric fee reimbursement on submission of caste and income certificates. The Indira Gandhi Single Girl Child Scholarship reported for KGMU postgraduates is worth about Rs 36,200 per year for eligible women pursuing MD/MS/MDS who are the only girl child in their family. KGMU also routes need-based assistance and part-time campus support to students from economically weaker backgrounds. Applicants should apply through the NSP and the UP Samaj Kalyan portals during the admission window and keep income, category and domicile documents ready, as most waivers are processed as post-admission reimbursements rather than upfront fee reductions.
