Karnataka runs three separate MD/MS pools — government colleges, private colleges (with domicile and non-domicile quotas), and deemed universities like KMC Manipal/Mangalore and JSS Mysuru. Here's the closing rank and fee picture for each.
Tightest and loosest branch per category (lower rank = more competitive).

No official body publishes a clean "closing rank by category" summary table. Counselling authorities release raw, candidate-wise allotment PDFs running to thousands of rows. Every closing-rank figure on this page is compiled from either an official portal (via a news report, marked Official) or an education-consultancy aggregation of that official data (marked Consultancy-aggregated) — each table is labelled with its year and round, because these numbers move round to round and year to year.
Fee figures move too: India has no central PG-fee regulator, so colleges revise tuition most academic years. Treat every number on this page as a planning range, and confirm the specific college/branch/year with the college's own admission cell and the official counselling authority (MCC at mcc.nic.in, or the state DME/DGHS) before paying anything or finalising a choice.
