General or NRI: comparing the cost

At an exchange rate of, say, Rs 85 to the dollar, the NRI fee of $1,20,000 is about Rs 1.02 crore a year, roughly twice the General fee. The NRI seat makes sense only for candidates who qualify under MCC's NRI rules and expect their NEET-PG rank to be too low for a General seat. Families should base the decision on rank, eligibility and total cost, not on how the seat is labelled.

Before choosing Radiology at Karad

Ask about imaging equipment and case volume at Krishna Hospital: CT, MRI, ultrasound and interventional work
Confirm in writing whether the 5% increase applies to every year of your batch
Read the refund rules carefully, since leaving a seat that costs Rs 49 lakh a year after Round 2 is expensive. See cancellation and refund rights.

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.
