For the 2026 academic year, the institute offers a diverse range of undergraduate and diploma programs designed to meet the growing demand in the healthcare sector. The most sought-after programs include:

• B.Sc Medical Laboratory Technology (MLT): Focuses on diagnostic procedures and lab management.

Admission for the 2026 session is primarily merit-based, following the guidelines set by RGUHS and the Karnataka Paramedical Board.

Students must have completed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, and Biology (PCB) as mandatory subjects with a minimum of 45-50% aggregate marks.

Note: Check exact dates on the official exam and college websites.

Note: These are approximate figures based on past trends, not official cutoffs. Check the latest official counselling cutoff before applying.

The 2026 cutoff for B.Sc Allied Health Sciences is determined by 10+2 merit. While there is no specific entrance exam like KCET for all paramedical courses, high demand for Medical Imaging Technology and MLT typically requires an aggregate of 75% or above in PCB for the general category. Reserved categories may see relaxation as per Karnataka state norms.
