Seat matrix 2025 — official + derived

official MCC seat matrix · derived from Round-1 allotments. A ⚠ bucket (≤2 seats) is one candidate's decision away from not existing.

Overview

PG seats signal academic depth — resident doctors on the wards usually mean more teaching and better clinical exposure for undergraduates. Source: NMC college registry.

What the whole course costs

Provisional fee figures — verify against the fee notification. Not included: hostel, mess, one-time admission charges, security deposit (refundable), university & exam fees, books, instruments & living costs. Academic fees only. No Indian fee regulator publishes hostel, mess, one-time admission charges or refundable deposits, so those are not included in any total shown.

Scholarships that apply here

Tamil Nadu's Post-Matric scholarship (SC/ST/OBC) covers tuition for eligible incomes — at a private college it offsets a slice of a larger fee. Central Sector adds ₹12,000 a year for board toppers in the income band.

Re-apply every year, not once. Full working-out in Paying for it.

Recognised means graduates need no extra clearance to register with a state medical council.

Before you rank it

• →Category certificates differ by route: central OBC-NCL format for MCC's AIQ, the state's own format for state counselling. One certificate rarely serves both.
• →Fee figures here are provisional — confirm before you lock this choice.
• →Reporting is in person with originals — no proxy. Keep a signed receipt for every document handed over.

What the numbers can't tell you — ask a senior

Five questions worth one phone call before this college goes high on your list. Current students answer these honestly; brochures don't.

• ?Hostel reality — rooms per student, mess quality, and whether first-years actually get a seat or hunt for PGs.
• ?Patient load — clinical exposure is the education. A packed OPD teaches more than a famous name with an empty ward.
• ✓Internship stipend — disclosed to NMC: ₹8,500/month — below the state column's ₹50,000 (NMC disclosure, Dec 2025–Jan 2026 — internet-sourced, verify). Still ask whether it lands on time.
• ?Faculty presence — vacancies in key departments show up in NMC inspection reports and in seniors' complaints long before rankings move.
