Cutoffs · NEET-UG
ACS Medical College and Hospital NEET-UG cutoffs
ACS Medical College admits MBBS students only through Medical Counselling Committee (MCC/DGHS) deemed-university counselling on NEET-UG All-India rank — the deemed/paid (management) and NRI rounds — so its closing ranks live in MCC's round-wise deemed-quota and NRI allotment result lists at mcc.nic.in, NOT in any Tamil Nadu Selection Committee list (deemed colleges are outside the state single-window). We publish only official, verifiable numbers; ACS's per-round last-allotted NEET-UG ranks were not reproduced for this cycle and are recorded as a cited absence — check the official MCC AY 2025 deemed-quota and NRI round-wise allotment PDFs for the exact figures. There is no state Government-Quota cut-off and no state college code, because ACS is a constituent college of a deemed university.

No institutional MBBS scholarship or fee-waiver is published by ACS Medical College and Hospital — the college's /schemes/ page covers government health-care schemes on the hospital side, not student scholarships. Eligible students can pursue the central and Tamil Nadu government scholarship portals (NSP / state schemes) independently; this is recorded as a cited absence rather than claimed as a college benefit.

ACS Medical College and Hospital, Chennai, is a constituent medical college of the Dr. R. Educational and Research Institute, a deemed-to-be-university under Section 3 of the UGC Act 1956 at Maduravoyal, Chennai. The institution was founded by Dr. C. Shanmugam as Founder-Chancellor (the college's own about page says 'started in the year 2007' while the home page body states it was established in 2008 — the specific year is contested between two official ACS pages; only the Founder-Chancellor attribution is asserted), and the MBBS degree was recognised by the National Medical Commission in 2021 against the original 150-seat intake; the intake has since grown to 250 seats running on annual NMC renewal. Its distinctive strengths are a large 1,110-bed attached teaching hospital at Velappanchavadi and a Molecular Biology laboratory that held NABL accreditation (ISO 15189:2012, certificate MC-3741, issued 29/09/2022, expired 28/09/2024; renewal status not confirmed from available sources). The parent university Dr. R. 48 on the four-point scale, valid to 01 August 2027 — a university-level accreditation; ACS Medical College itself has no separate NAAC grade and is not individually ranked in NIRF Medical. Academic leadership is provided by Dean Dr. K. Srinivasa Raj, with Dr. S. R. ERI) and Dr. B. Palanivelu (Director of Medical Education) at the university level. Two cautions for searchers: the parent 'Dr. R. Educational and Research Institute' (a deemed university) is NOT the 'Tamil Nadu Dr. R. R. ERI constituent, Sri Lalithambigai Medical College at Maduravoyal — their seats, fees and cut-offs must never be mixed. 2025, official MCC CDN PDF) also records ACS with MD and MS broad-specialty postgraduate seats allotted via the deemed/paid-seat (Self-Financed Merit Seat) and NRI quotas; the admissions page further lists MD Anaesthesiology as a Postgraduate Programme.

FAQ
ACS Medical College and Hospital FAQs
What is the NRI quota fee for MBBS at ACS Medical College?
The NRI / foreign quota fee is US$44,000 per year, as disclosed in the college's AY 2025-26 MCC institute profile and seat matrix. There are 38 NRI seats among the 250 MBBS seats, allotted through MCC (DGHS) deemed-university counselling on NEET-UG rank. The NRI fee is denominated in US dollars, so no rupee figure is published for it.
What is the NEET cut-off for ACS Medical College and Hospital?
ACS admits MBBS students through MCC (DGHS) deemed-university counselling, so its closing ranks appear in MCC's round-wise deemed/paid-quota and NRI allotment result lists at mcc.nic.in — not in any Tamil Nadu Selection Committee list, because a deemed college sits outside the state single-window and has no state college code. The exact last-allotted NEET-UG ranks for ACS were not reproduced for this cycle; check the official MCC deemed-quota and NRI round-wise allotment PDFs for the precise figures.
How many MBBS seats does ACS Medical College and Hospital have?
250 MBBS seats for AY 2025-26 — made up of 212 deemed/paid-quota seats and 38 NRI seats per the college's MCC seat matrix (letter 'Renewal/UG MEB/2023-24/051' dated 02-07-2025). The NMC's final UG seat matrix of 03.12.2025 also records 250 seats for ACS (serial 535).
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at ACS Medical College?
A candidate must qualify NEET-UG and meet the NMC's standard requirements: 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology, and the prescribed minimum age. Admission is then through MCC (DGHS) deemed-university counselling — there is no separate college entrance test. ACS confirms admission only on reporting with the MCC allotment order and original documents.
What is the total MBBS course cost at ACS Medical College, Chennai?
Tuition is Rs 25,00,000 per year for the deemed/paid (management) seats as disclosed in the university's AY 2025-26 MCC institute profile; hostel is extra at Rs 21,667 per month (AC) or Rs 17,500 per month (non-AC). NRI seats are US$44,000 per year. The amount payable at admission including hostel is Rs 27,60,000 for year 1. No official total-course fee schedule is published; only the annual fee figures above are asserted.
How is MBBS admission done at ACS — through MCC or the Tamil Nadu state quota?
Through MCC (DGHS) only. ACS is a constituent college of the Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute deemed university, and deemed universities admit 100% through the Medical Counselling Committee's deemed/paid and NRI rounds on NEET-UG merit. The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single-window (Government / Management / NRI categories) applies to the state's self-financing and state-private-university colleges, not to a deemed college like ACS — so there is no state Government-Quota seat or state fee band here.
Is MBBS at ACS Medical College recognised by the NMC?
Yes — the MBBS degree is recognised by the National Medical Commission against the original 150-seat intake (NMC letter dated 08-07-2021). The intake has since been raised to 250 seats, which run on annual NMC renewal of permission (latest letter 02-07-2025); the AY 2025-26 MCC seat matrix leaves the recognised/permitted remarks column blank for the added capacity. So the accurate position is 'degree recognised against the original 150 seats, with the current 250 on annual renewal', not 'fully recognised for all 250 seats'.
What are the hostel fees at ACS Medical College and Hospital?
ACS publishes hostel fees of Rs 21,667 per month for an AC room and Rs 17,500 per month for a non-AC room, with separate hostels for men and women. The year-1 amount payable at admission of Rs 27,60,000 is inclusive of hostel fees. Room-sharing and mess details are not separately published.
Does ACS Medical College pay an internship stipend?
The college's MCC institute profile lists a first-year internship stipend of Rs 25,000 (the profile field label is 'Stipend Paid to the students I st Year (INR): 25000'; the per-month qualification is not explicit in the source text). The second- and third-year stipend fields in the same form read zero, but those appear to be unfilled rather than a confirmed 'no later-year stipend', so only the first-year figure is stated here as official.
Is ACS Medical College safe — what about anti-ragging and women's safety?
As an NMC-recognised medical college, ACS is required to have an Anti-Ragging Committee and Squad under the UGC/NMC anti-ragging regulations and an Internal Complaints Committee for women's safety under the POSH Act. Students can also raise concerns through the national UGC anti-ragging portal (antiragging.in). Prospective students should confirm the current committee details with the college office at admission.
Is ACS Medical College the same as Sri Lalithambigai Medical College or TNMGRMU?
No. ACS Medical College (Velappanchavadi) and Sri Lalithambigai Medical College (Maduravoyal) are two SEPARATE constituent colleges of the same deemed university, Dr. M.G.R. Educational and Research Institute — their seats, fees and cut-offs are distinct and must not be mixed. Separately, that deemed parent university is NOT 'The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University' (TNMGRMU), which is the state affiliating university of Tamil Nadu's self-financing colleges — a different MGR body altogether.
Are there scholarships for MBBS students at ACS Medical College?
ACS does not publish an institutional MBBS scholarship or fee-waiver — its /schemes/ page covers government health-care schemes on the hospital side, not student scholarships. Eligible students can apply independently through the National Scholarship Portal and Tamil Nadu government scholarship schemes.
