Yenepoya Medical College is a private medical college in Deralakatte, Mangaluru, Karnataka, established in 1999 with its first batch of 100 MBBS students. It functions as a constituent college of Yenepoya (Deemed to be University), which was granted deemed-university status by the UGC in 2008, and offers MBBS along with 20-plus postgraduate MD/MS departments across an attached teaching hospital campus.

Yenepoya Medical College's flagship programme is the MBBS, a 5.5-year course (4.5 years of classroom and clinical training plus a compulsory 1-year internship). The college's own NIRF 2025 submission confirms a sanctioned intake of 250 seats for the current cycle, up from 150 seats in the years before AY 2023-24. Admission to management, Muslim-minority and NRI-category seats runs through MCC's NEET-UG deemed-university counselling; the college's programme page also references Karnataka Examination Authority (KEA)-run counselling, which conflicts with its deemed-university status, so this page treats MCC as the primary, NMC-consistent route and flags the KEA reference as an unresolved inconsistency on the college's own site (see Editorial Notes).
Beyond MBBS, the college runs 23 postgraduate MD/MS specialties through its attached teaching hospital, each carrying its own published fee slab under the official 2025-26 fee structure. Per-specialty seat counts are not published on the fee-structure page; the college's NIRF 2025 filing shows an aggregate sanctioned PG intake of 10 seats in 2-year programmes and 178 seats in 3-year programmes for AY 2023-24, but does not break this down by specialty, so specialty-level seat figures are left unconfirmed here rather than estimated.

Fee figures are the official 2025-26/2026-27 batch totals as published on the college's fee-structure page; year-wise installment breakdowns are available in the source PDFs. Fees are structurally certain to change for future admission batches, so any DB-driven fee display should pull from a dynamic token rather than hardcode these figures long-term.
No numeric NIRF Medical-category rank was found for Yenepoya Medical College; NIRF's Medical category ranks only its top 50 participating institutions each year, and Yenepoya has not appeared in that published list in the years checked (2024, 2025). The college does submit annual NIRF Data Capturing System filings, confirming ongoing participation without a published rank. Yenepoya University as a whole (the parent deemed university, covering all its constituent colleges) placed in the 151-200 band of NIRF 2025's separate "University" category; this is not a medical-category or MBBS-specific ranking and should not be read as one. The university carries a NAAC A+ grade at the institutional level.
The college's official "Home Away From Home" hostel page confirms separate hostel blocks: YMK Men's Hostel (500 students, shared by medical, dental, physiotherapy and nursing students), Zulekha Ladies Hostel (866 students), and the three-block Gardenia Hostel (216-seat A Block for male PG and foreign UG students, 600-seat B Block for female UG students and interns, and a C Block for female PG and foreign UG students). Rooms come furnished with Wi-Fi, RO drinking water, TV lounges and laundry facilities; postgraduate rooms are air-conditioned by default, undergraduate rooms on request.
Dining is centralised, with the college citing roughly 6,500 daily meal packs produced on campus plus additional cafeteria and restaurant outlets. The Yendurance Zone sports complex has floodlit courts for basketball, volleyball, badminton and squash, plus a gymnasium, and the central library holds about 30,000 physical volumes alongside EBSCO, HELINET and INFONET database access.

NMC raised sanctioned MBBS intake from 150 to 250 seats, permitted for AY 2023-24 and renewed for AY 2024-25 and AY 2025-26.
23 MD/MS specialties run on campus, from Community Medicine and Pathology to General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology and Radiodiagnosis, each with a published fee slab.
On-campus hospital plus dedicated hostel blocks (YMK Men's Hostel 500, Zulekha Ladies Hostel 866, Gardenia Hostel blocks) for UG, PG, intern and foreign students.
Management, Muslim-minority and NRI-quota MBBS seats are filled via MCC's central deemed-university counselling rather than Karnataka's state KEA process, which matters for NEET aspirants planning their choice-filling strategy.
