How To Get Into Madras Medical College?



Admissions to the Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery (MBBS) and the Post-graduate (MD, MS, other diplomas and other higher specialties) are through the Tamil Nadu state quota (for e.g.: 85% of seats in the MBBS program) and through the National/ Central quota (for e.g.: 15% of seats in the MBBS program). Reservations of seats and reduced tuition fees are available to the underserved communities in both the quotas. Admissions are open only to Indian citizens and are highly competitive.



MBBS Program



Approximately, the MBBS program has 165 seats of student intake per year. About 1 in 40 applicants are accepted to the MBBS program statewide (about 1500 seats in 15 medical colleges throughout Tamil Nadu), and only the top-rankers among those accepted to the MBBS program statewide are admitted to the MMC since it ranks as the 1st medical school in the state of Tamil Nadu.



State Quota



It consists of 85% of total number of seats; filled by the Directorate of Medical Education under the state Government of Tamil Nadu.



The State-level entrance exam was the TNPCEE (the Tamil Nadu Professional Course Entrance Examination) which has been discontinued by the Government of Tamil Nadu from the academic year 2007. Earlier, the admissions to the MBBS program were based on a weighted aggregate of the Entrance exam and the High school final exam scores. Now, the admission is entirely based on the High School final exam scores and the seats are filled on the basis of inter-se merit ranking.



National/ Central Quota



It consists of 15% of total number of seats of student intake per year.



The National level entrance exam is the All India PreMedical PreDental Examination (AI PM/ PD test) which is conducted by CBSE. The seats under the Central quota are filled on the basis of the scores and ranking by the AI PM/ PD test alone and do not take into consideration the High school final exam scores.



Post Graduate Programs



The seats in the different Post-graduate programs (Diploma and Degree programs) are filled by:



State level PG Entrance Exam

National level PG Entrance Exam

Several seats (about 50% of the state quota seats) are also reserved for the Physicians in the Tamil Nadu Government service.
