Official, verifiable per-course fee figures for GMC Bhavnagar could not be confirmed at the time of writing. The Gujarat Fee Regulating Committee's published fee notification for 2025-26/2026-27 could not be reliably read, and the college's own fees page was not reachable. Third-party aggregators report a low government-quota MBBS fee (in the range of Rs 25,000-30,000 per year), consistent with GMC Bhavnagar's status as one of Gujarat's original state government medical colleges, but this figure is not used below because it is aggregator-sourced rather than confirmed against an official notification.
