It is a constituent unit of KLE Academy of Higher Education and Research (KAHER), a deemed-to-be-university headquartered on the same campus.

Snapshot

Programmes

JNMC's undergraduate offering is the MBBS degree. At the postgraduate level it offers MD and MS across clinical and paraclinical departments (including Medicine, Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynecology, Pediatrics, Orthopedics, Anaesthesiology, Pathology, Microbiology, and others listed department-wise on the official site), along with post-doctoral DM/M.Ch super-specialty programmes, standalone diploma courses, a Master's/PhD-level Public Health track, Hospital Administration, and a PhD programme.

Exact current-year seat intake and fee figures are published by KAHER in year-specific fee-schedule and NMC seat-matrix filings rather than as a single public table on JNMC's own site, and were not independently verified from a primary document in this research pass; multiple secondary sources consistently cite an MBBS intake of 200 seats/year, but this figure is unconfirmed here and should be checked against the current MCC or NMC seat matrix before publishing any specific number.
