No, you cannot gain admission to the MBBS programme at R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital—or any recognised medical college in India—without clearing NEET UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test – Undergraduate). The National Medical Commission (NMC) and Supreme Court mandate NEET as the sole qualifying entrance exam for MBBS across all government, private, and deemed institutions in India .

Some institutes might mention “direct” or management quota admissions, but even these require a minimum NEET qualification. Attempts to bypass NEET through foreign medical programs are risky—graduates must still pass the FMGE to practice in India .

 Bottom line: If your goal is to pursue an MBBS at RG Kar or any reputable Indian medical college, you must take and qualify NEET UG and then participate in the MCC (All India Quota) or West Bengal state counseling process.

To get into R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital (RGKMCH) for MBBS, you must:

1. Qualify NEET UG and rank high enough—general category closing rank in 2024 was ~7,437 (AIQ) and ~12,498 (West Bengal state quota) .

2. Eligibility: Complete 12th grade with 50% in PCB + English (40% for SC/ST/OBC), and be at least 17 years old by December 31 of the admission year .

3. Counseling:

All India Quota (15%): Register via MCC, fill preferences, and report to college when allotted.

State Quota (85%): Register with WBMCC, document verification, choice filling, seat allotment via state counseling .

Summary: Score well in NEET-UG, meet academic/age criteria, then secure admission through AIQ or WBMCC counseling.
