Admission to Cancer Institute is entirely NEET-based; there is no separate entrance test. Postgraduate (MD/MS/DNB and allied) seats are filled through NEET-PG. Candidates must qualify NEET and then take part in centralised counselling — direct admission is not permitted.
As a private college, seats span an All India / management quota and, where applicable, an NRI quota. Government/convener-quota seats are counselled by the Karnataka State NEET-UG Counselling, while management and NRI seats follow the private-quota rounds. Management and NRI quotas carry higher fees but the same NEET-qualification requirement — a valid NEET rank is mandatory for every seat.
To secure a seat, a NEET-qualified candidate registers for the relevant counselling, fills a preference list that includes Cancer Institute, and is allotted a seat if their rank clears the closing rank for that quota and category in that round. Closing ranks move each year with the number of applicants and seats, so treat past cut-offs as guidance, not a guarantee.
Across NEET-PG specialisations, the most competitive General-category seats at Cancer Institute closed near rank 12,898 in the latest year; less-sought branches close at higher (larger) ranks. Round-wise closing ranks by specialisation are listed in the PG cut-off section above.
Cancer Institute offers NEET-PG specialisations (MD), Nursing and Paramedical, with a total of 1 PG specialisation. See the courses section above for the full list.
