Wrap Up
The MD Geriatrics program in Karnataka 2025 remains one of the most limited postgraduate medical specializations, with just 4 seats across 4 medical colleges.
While Bangalore Medical College and Research Institute (BMC) offers the only government seat, Yenepoya Medical College stands out for providing both KEA State Quota and MCC Deemed Quota options — a unique dual pathway for aspirants.
