Get My University Analysis
We have observed a unique trend in the cut off variations in the counseling process of Karnataka. It always remains on the higher side in round 1 and keep coming down as the rounds progress. Students must be very careful while doing choice filling.
We witness steep decline in the cut off for the medical seats in the 2020 counseling process compared to 2019. Till 2019 cost wise Karnataka was cheaper than many other states, but due to steep hike in the fees in 2020 and fee regulation in the state like UP opened alternative options for the students to consider. Cost wise similar options became available in the state like Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana & Bihar.
Get My University likes to suggest medical aspirants to consider all the aspects like Fee, living conditions, educational standard, patient footfall, etc while choosing any state or college. Although fee has been hiked in Karnataka, still it has various colleges which stand tall when we compare all the parameters with other state colleges.
