KEA Medical Mop-Up Round, Fees, and Mandatory Rural Bond Explained

01. Security Deposit & Forfeiture

All candidates entering the Mop-Up Round must deposit a demand draft or net-banking caution deposit of ₹1,00,000 with KEA. If a seat is allotted and the candidate fails to report or surrender within the deadline, the deposit is forfeited, a penalty of 5x tuition fee is levied, and the candidate is debarred from KEA counseling for 2 years.

02. Fee Quotas: Govt vs GMP vs OPN

Government Seats in GMC: ₹64,350/year.
Government Seats in Private: ₹1,54,000/year.
GMP (Karnataka Private Open): ₹10,92,602 to ₹12,50,000/year.
OPN (All India Open): Non-Karnataka candidates are eligible for open private seats without domicile constraints.

03. Compulsory Rural Service Bond

Under the Karnataka Compulsory Service by Candidates Completed Medical Courses Act, 2012, all MBBS graduates obtaining a government quota seat must complete 1 year of mandatory rural public health service. Defaulting incurs a statutory penalty of ₹15,00,000 to ₹30,00,000.
