🏛️ Government College Fees (Annual)

🏢 Private College Fees (Annual, UR Category)

💡 MD Radiodiagnosis commands the highest fee (₹44–60 lakh/year) across all private colleges. Pre-clinical subjects like Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry are the cheapest at ₹2–4 lakh/year.

🎯 Government Colleges – Subject-wise Best Closing Ranks (UR)

💡 Radiodiagnosis, General Medicine, and OBG are the most competitive subjects. Non-clinical subjects often close beyond rank 1,00,000.

📊 Private Colleges – General Trend (UR)

⚠️ Cutoffs vary every year based on number of applicants, category-wise reservation, and available seat matrix.

🏛️ Government Colleges (Uniform – All 9 Colleges)

All 9 government medical colleges in Bihar pay the same stipend structure to PG residents.

🏢 Private Colleges (Varies by College)

💡 Netaji Subhas Medical College and Katihar Medical College offer stipends on par with government colleges. Mata Gujri Memorial Medical College offers the lowest stipend among colleges with disclosed figures.

📋 Management Quota (Private Colleges)

Private medical colleges in Bihar admit students under multiple quota categories through NEET PG counselling itself — not through separate management-level interviews.

⚠️ Netaji Subhas Medical College, Lord Budha Koshi, Narayan Medical College, Shri Narayan Medical Institute, and RDJM Medical College have no separate management quota — only UR and NRI categories.

💡 Example: At Katihar Medical College, MD Radiodiagnosis under UR closed around rank 1,08,797, while under MM quota it closed around rank 90,744.

🌐 NRI Quota Fee Comparison (Per Year in USD)

💡 NRI quota cutoff ranks are generally higher (less competitive) than UR quota. Stipend for NRI candidates is the same as UR candidates at the same college. All 8 private colleges offer NRI quota seats.
