Quick answer: KIMS Karad has one MD Microbiology seat for 2026-27. It is a General (self-financed) seat at Rs 3,00,000 tuition a year, rising 5% a year, and MCC fills it in NEET-PG deemed counselling. Microbiology is a bonded subject at KVV: a Rs 1 lakh refundable security deposit, and Rs 5 lakh if the bond is broken.
Interest in microbiology has grown since the pandemic, as infection control, antimicrobial stewardship and molecular testing became hospital priorities. Karad's single seat suits a candidate who wants that career at deemed-university fees close to state-quota levels.

Management quota and direct admission at KIMS Karad with AdmitDirect
At Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences (KIMS), Karad, the seats families call management quota are the paid Self-Financed Merit (General) seats and the NRI seats. Both are allotted through MCC's deemed-university counselling on NEET-PG merit, at the fees shown above. Direct admission means the late rounds: seats left unfilled after the main rounds are offered again in MCC's mop-up and stray-vacancy rounds. You still need a qualifying NEET-PG score and an MCC registration, but these rounds are where many families secure a seat late in the cycle.
