Government quota, management quota and CMC categories

Tamil Nadu’s Selection Committee has one prospectus for government-quota seats and another for management seats. Use the one that covers your seat. Private campuses can have several pools. These may have different fees, minority rules or NRI proof.

The state also has a notified 7.5% government-school reservation route. It needs its own schooling and certificate proof. A student who attended any school in Tamil Nadu should not assume that this alone qualifies them for that reserved route. Our Tamil Nadu counselling guide explains which prospectus to start with.

CMC Vellore has a 100-seat split across management and government categories in its 2026–27 prospectus. Its open management group has two seats; the other groups have their own conditions. Read the CMC Vellore admission guide if that campus is on your list.

For other campuses, compare the fee for the actual pool, hostel and hospital location. Check nativity and category records before choices, and read the undertaking before accepting. The reporting checklist helps you finish the allotted route.

Questions for your Tamil Nadu shortlist

For CMC Vellore, write down which of its seat groups you can claim. For another Tamil Nadu private college, use that campus’s own fee row. Ask whether hostel and mess are required before comparing the two full-course bills.
