This huge difference makes government seats in Mumbai some of the most valuable and most fought-over seats in the entire country.

Yes, some colleges like Sion Hospital and KEM college municipal colleges are reserved under special domicile or municipal quota for those students lying under the Maharashtra and Mumbai domicile.

Always check prospectus and official details.

The cut offs differ from year to year on the basis of category, reservation and seat. Government cut offs are much more compared to private colleges. So rather than rumours think of the previous year's official cutoff list as it will give you an accurate idea.

Yes, the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research is planning on launching its MBBS course with a current planned seat-intake of 100.

Further this course is planned to launch on PGIMER's new satellite campus located in Sarangpur.

However this plan is currently in its early stages without any concrete launch date or time table announced.
