As a private college in Andhra Pradesh, fees are fixed by the state's Fee Regulatory Committee and managed through state counselling.

Disclaimer: These are indicative figures. All fees (Cat A, B, C) are strictly governed by the Andhra Pradesh Higher Education Regulatory and Monitoring Commission (APHERMC) and announced annually by Dr. YSRUHS during counselling. Always verify the precise, current fee structure from the official YSRUHS counselling notifications.

• Accommodation: Separate hostel blocks are available for boys and girls (UGs, PGs, Interns) with a total capacity of over 1300 rooms. Rooms are typically twin-sharing, furnished with beds, tables, chairs, and cupboards.

• Hostel Fee (Annual): ~ ₹1,20,000

• Total annual cost is approximately ₹1,80,000 (plus a one-time refundable caution deposit).

Admissions Process: NEET & State Counselling (AP)

• Getting Admitted (MBBS/MD/MS): Admission is strictly and exclusively based on qualifying ranks in NEET-UG (for MBBS) or NEET-PG (for MD/MS).

• State Counselling is Key (Andhra Pradesh): Seat allotment for all categories (Govt. Quota - Cat A, Management Quota - Cat B, NRI Quota - Cat C) is handled entirely by the Dr. YSR University of Health Sciences (YSRUHS), which conducts the centralized state counselling for all medical colleges in Andhra Pradesh.

• AIQ: ASRAM does not have an All India Quota, as this is reserved for government colleges.

• State Quota: Seats are filled through the YSRUHS state counselling process.

• Always check the official YSRUHS (uhsap.in) website for counselling schedules and procedures.

Career Pathways & Placements

• Career Path: As a highly-reputed private medical college with a massive hospital, the career path is well-defined.

• Internship: MBBS graduates complete a mandatory 1-year rotatory internship at the ASRAM General Hospital, for which they receive a stipend as per college/NMC norms.

• Post-Graduation: The extensive clinical exposure and large patient load make graduates highly competitive for PG seats (via NEET-PG) or immediately employable as Medical Officers. The institute offers a large number of its own PG seats (153), providing a strong in-house pathway.
