CMC Vellore MBBS admission has several seat categories. Start by finding the category you can apply for. Then check the application, selection and fee rules for that category. NEET qualification alone does not complete the admission process.
How the 100 MBBS seats are grouped
| Group in the 2026–27 prospectus | Seats |
|---|---|
| Management: open | 2 |
| Management: minority network | 38 |
| Management: staff | 10 |
| Government: state reservation policy | 30 |
| Government: Christian minority | 20 |
Source: CMC Vellore’s 2026–27 course prospectus, page 24. The minority and staff groups have their own proof and selection conditions. Do not treat all 100 places as open-category seats.
Find the right application steps
Read CMC’s course prospectus and the Tamil Nadu selection notice for your category. Check whether you need a college application as well as the state counselling form. A form sent to one body does not complete another body’s process.
Our Tamil Nadu counselling guide explains the state route. The Tamil Nadu Selection Committee website has the official prospectuses, schedules and allotment notices. Use the course and year shown on the notice.
What the published college fee covers
| Fee head in the prospectus | Amount |
|---|---|
| Annual tuition | ₹3,000 |
| One-time college fee | ₹12,260 |
| Other annual fees | ₹54,095 |
| One-time university fee | ₹14,975 |
| Total of these admission fee heads | ₹84,330 |
Source: CMC’s 2026–27 course prospectus, page 177. This total is not the full cost of the MBBS course. Hostel, food and later annual charges need a separate budget.
The prospectus lists a ₹10,000 hostel deposit/advance. It gives approximate monthly living charges of ₹8,000 for men and ₹9,500 for women. These are estimates in the prospectus; ask for the bill and payment dates for your hostel.
Check the terms before ranking the seat
Read the terms attached to your seat category. Ask who must sign any undertaking, what service it requires and what happens if you leave. Keep the current form with your fee sheet. Our MBBS bond checklist gives you a short list of questions to ask.
Keep your proof together
- NEET application, admit card and scorecard
- College and counselling application records, where required
- School certificates and identity proof
- Proof for the seat category you claim
- Allotment letter, fee receipts and joining record
Use the counselling document guide to prepare your folder. Once allotted, follow the seat reporting checklist and the college’s current joining notice. Confirm the campus and course before paying.
Can a low fee guarantee a seat?
No. Fees and selection are separate checks. Apply only through the route you qualify for, and rank the seat only if you accept its terms. Keep the current deadline on your sheet rather than relying on an old admission calendar.
