A Delhi-NCR private medical college with a 1200-bed hospital and an accessible cutoff — but with a fee you need to read carefully. Here's the official-data-only breakdown.
Sharda School of Medical Sciences & Research (SMSR / SSMS&R).
SMSR was established in 2009 under Sharda University — a private state university in Knowledge Park III, Greater Noida (Delhi-NCR), on a ~63-acre campus. It's approved by the NMC for 250 MBBS seats, and its teaching hospital, Sharda Hospital (1200 beds), is co-located on campus. Admission is through NEET-UG + UP State online counselling (DGME UP) — no state/domicile or caste reservation (UP private colleges have a single open category). Note: Sharda University is now a notified Jain Minority Institution (2025).
The fee dispute: UP DGME fixed the tuition at ₹15,23,183/year, but that is sub-judice (before the Allahabad High Court), and the college's own 2025-26 structure lists a higher ₹19,25,000 (Non-Minority) / ₹18,50,000 (Jain-Minority). Get the final payable figure in writing from the college/DGME before paying.
SMSR is approved for 250 MBBS seats (NMC Letter of Permission). All are filled through UP State (DGME) NEET counselling — there is no management, NRI, direct or agent admission. (Note: an old Sharda Hospital page still shows 150 — that's outdated; the NMC figure is 250.)
Closing NEET All-India Rank, single open category (UP private).

Round 1

Round 2
1,34,104
Round 3
Insight: UP private colleges have a single open category (no caste reservation, no domicile benefit), so each round's closing rank simply reflects who was left. In 2025 the deepest allotment reached NEET AIR ~1,95,781 (Round 2), with Round 1 closing at ~86,074 and Round 3 at ~1,34,104; stray rounds went to ~47,872 / ~54,353. In practice, an aspirant in the ~90,000 to 1.3 lakh AIR band (and deeper in later rounds) has a realistic shot — an accessible cutoff for a Delhi-NCR college.
