Telangana Medical Fees: Telangana MBBS and BDS Fees Fixed for 2026 to 2029 Admissions

Telangana Medical Fees: Students preparing to join private medical and dental colleges in Telangana have received some clarity on their fee structure for the coming academic years. The state has decided to continue the existing MBBS and BDS fees for the 2026 to 2029 block period.

Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences issued a notification covering undergraduate medical and dental courses at private unaided non minority and minority institutions. The decision follows Government Order 98, under which the fee structure already applicable during the 2023 to 2026 period will continue for the new block.

For MBBS students, the annual fee under the convenor quota, also known as Category A, has been fixed at Rs 60,000.

The management quota, or Category B, will have different charges depending on the medical college. The annual fee ranges from Rs 11.55 lakh to Rs 13 lakh.

The colleges charging Rs 13 lakh per year under Category B include Apollo Medical College, Chalmeda Anand Rao Institute of Medical Sciences, Kamineni Academy of Medical Sciences in Narketpally, Kamineni Institute of Medical Sciences in Hyderabad, Malla Reddy Institute of Medical Sciences and MNR Medical College.

SVS Medical College and Deccan College of Medical Sciences will charge Rs 12.50 lakh annually under the same category.

A number of institutions have been placed in the Rs 12 lakh bracket. They include Ayaan Institute of Medical Sciences, VRK Women’s Medical College, Mamata Academy of Medical Sciences in Khammam, Mamata Academy of Medical Sciences in Bachupally, Malla Reddy Women’s Medical College, Mediciti Institute of Medical Sciences, Prathima Institute of Medical Sciences, RVM Institute of Medical Sciences and Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences.

The Category B fee at the remaining private medical colleges has been fixed at Rs 11.55 lakh per year.

The NRI quota, or Category C, will also follow a specified limit. Colleges can charge up to twice the applicable management quota fee for NRI seats. The exact amount will therefore depend on the Category B fee fixed for each institution.

The fee structure for BDS courses has also been announced. Students entering through the convenor quota will have to pay Rs 45,000 per year. Under the management quota, the annual charge will range from Rs 4.20 lakh to Rs 5 lakh, depending on the dental college.

The government has also laid down rules for institutions that may receive approval during the 2026 to 2029 period. Any new medical or dental college approved during this block will be allowed to collect only the minimum fee already applicable under the prescribed structure.

Another important provision concerns additional payments. Private institutions have been instructed not to demand capitation fees or donations from students over and above the approved amount. Collecting such extra charges is prohibited under the rules.

The total course fee must be collected in five instalments, with one instalment payable at the beginning of each academic year. Once a student secures admission, the approved fee is expected to remain unchanged until completion of the course.

This means colleges cannot increase the tuition fee midway through the programme. The provision is expected to give students and parents better clarity when planning the overall cost of medical or dental education.

The fee rules will apply across the private medical and dental institutions covered by the notification, along with the Army College of Dental Sciences in Secunderabad. Telangana currently has 27 private medical colleges, according to the information provided.

For students preparing for medical admissions, the continuation of the existing fee structure could make financial planning somewhat easier. Parents will also have a clearer idea of the tuition expenses before choosing a college and category.

The decision to retain the earlier rates for another four years also means that students admitted during the 2026 to 2029 block will have greater certainty about their course fees. The restriction on mid course increases is particularly relevant for families trying to plan expenses over several years.
