• Medical: The Gujarat Adani Institute of Medical Sciences (GAIMS), Bhuj, a government-society/private-managed medical college, is affiliated with KSKV Kachchh University for its MBBS degree.

Fee Structure: State University Affordability (Aided vs. SF)

Being a state university, KSKV Kachchh University's fees for its regular, government-aided programs on campus are extremely affordable. Self-financed courses (like Integrated MBA) and fees at affiliated private/SFI colleges are significantly higher.
