Christian Medical College, Vellore NEET-UG cutoffs

These are SEPARATE merit lists, so a single 'cutoff' does not describe the college. The last-allotted NEET rank for each category is published in the Selection Committee's round-wise allotment lists at the time of counselling; a consolidated AY 2025-26 category-wise closing-rank list for CMC was not yet published when this page was prepared, so no closing-rank numbers are asserted here (recorded as a cited absence). There is no NRI quota at CMC. Verify each category's last-allotted rank in the official SelComm allotment list at counselling.

Christian Medical College, Vellore is one of India's flagship medical institutions and an unaided Christian-minority, not-for-profit society. It was established in 1900 by Dr. Ida Sophia Scudder, who began with a single-bed clinic; medical education began in 1918 and the MBBS degree course was introduced in 1942 (the NMC year of inception). MBBS is RECOGNISED by the National Medical Commission for 100 seats (NMC code TN/008/P/4) on an annual-renewal basis (AY 2024-25 confirmed in the NMC record), and the college is affiliated to the Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University (TNMGRMU), Chennai. CMC is ranked NIRF Medical #3 in India (India Rankings 2025, per CMC's own NIRF page) and was first on Teaching, Learning & Resources that year; its teaching hospital holds NABH accreditation (2013). CMC runs a broad postgraduate programme — 346 annual PG and Higher Specialities intake (CMC Facts & Figures 2024-25; NMC pg Approved = 258 for NMC-regulated MD/MS/DM/M.Ch seats) spanning MD/MS and a large DM/M.Ch super-speciality portfolio — supported by one of India's largest clinical-material bases (3,701 beds CMC-wide across seven campuses, including 1,879 beds at the Vellore Town Campus and 254 ICU beds system-wide; over 3.4 million outpatient visits a year). VERTICAL GUARD: this page is the MBBS MEDICAL college of CMC Vellore; CMC also runs a College of Nursing and a College of Allied Health Sciences, which are separate institutions — the NAAC 'A' grade in CMC's literature belongs to the College of Nursing, not the MBBS medical college, and a separate NAAC grade for the medical college is not established here. This is also NOT Christian Medical College, Ludhiana (Punjab), a different institution.

FAQ
Christian Medical College, Vellore FAQs
What is the management quota fee for MBBS at Christian Medical College, Vellore?
The CMC Vellore management quota (Category E) MBBS tuition is Rs 56,330 per year (year 1) in the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee's 2025-26 fee schedule (Management-Quota prospectus, Clause 19, row 3) — identical to its government-quota fee. This is the Christian-minority exception: it is a tiny fraction of the roughly Rs 13.5 lakh management band charged at other Tamil Nadu private medical colleges, because CMC is an unaided, not-for-profit Christian-minority institution. The management half (50% of 100 seats) is filled on inter-se NEET (UG) merit across Open (2 seats), Minority Network (38 seats) and CMC Vellore Staff quota (10 seats). There is no NRI quota and no donation or capitation.
What is the government quota MBBS fee at CMC Vellore?
The government quota (Category B) MBBS fee is Rs 56,330 per year as fixed by the Tamil Nadu Committee on Fixation of Fee (Justice R. Pongiappan) — the same as the management quota, and far below the roughly Rs 4.35-4.50 lakh government band of other Tamil Nadu self-financing colleges. CMC's own 2026 course prospectus (Annexure-I) quotes a FIRST-YEAR College Fee Total of Rs 84,330, made up of: Rs 3,000 (annual tuition) + Rs 54,095 (other annual fee) + Rs 12,260 (one-time College fee at admission) + Rs 14,975 (one-time University payment) = Rs 84,330; from year 2 onwards only the recurring components (approximately Rs 57,095) apply. CMC describes the fee as heavily subsidised. Tamil Nadu tuition is annual and the year's fee is due when the allotment order is downloaded.
Does CMC Vellore have an NRI quota?
No. The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee's 2025-26 management/NRI fee table (Clause 19, row 3 — Christian Medical College, Vellore) shows a dash (' — ') in both the NRI Quota and NRI-lapsed columns, so there is no NRI seat and no NRI fee at CMC. CMC's seats are the 50% Government Quota (30% state + 20% Tamil Nadu Christian minority) and the 50% management quota, all filled on NEET-UG merit.
How are MBBS seats filled at CMC Vellore?
Under the Supreme Court order in I.A.No.110584/2022 in W.P.(C) No.8/2022, CMC's 100 MBBS seats are filled as: 30% by the State Government quota and 20% by the Tamil Nadu Christian-Minority merit list (together the 50% Government Quota), and 50% by the CMC management on inter-se NEET (UG) merit — split as Open (2 seats), Minority Network (38 seats) and CMC Vellore Staff quota (10 seats). All groups are filled strictly on NEET (UG) rank through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single window. This is a Christian-minority seat-fill rule, not a Scheduled-Caste rule.
Is there direct admission or a donation seat at CMC Vellore?
No. There is no direct admission, donation or capitation route at CMC Vellore. Every MBBS seat — government, Christian-minority and management — is filled on NEET-UG merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee. The 20% Tamil Nadu Christian-Minority list (Category B) requires TN nativity and Christian-minority status. The 50% CMC management-quota Minority Network seats are for Indian nationals recommended by a recognised CMC Vellore Association Minority Network church or organisation — TN nativity is not required for the Minority Network route. All routes still compete on NEET rank.
What is the NEET cutoff or last-allotted rank for CMC Vellore?
Because CMC fills its 100 seats across three separate merit lists — 30% state government, 20% Tamil Nadu Christian minority and 50% management (Open/Minority Network/Staff) — there is no single 'cutoff'. The last-allotted NEET-UG rank for each category is published in the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee's round-wise allotment lists at the time of counselling. A consolidated AY 2025-26 category-wise closing-rank list for CMC was not yet published when this page was prepared, so no closing-rank number is asserted here; check the official Selection Committee allotment list for the exact last-allotted rank in each category.
How many MBBS seats does CMC Vellore have?
Christian Medical College, Vellore has 100 MBBS seats. This is confirmed by the NMC live college record (ug Approved 100), the NMC Final Seat Matrix of 03.12.2025 (S.No 542, 100/100), the NMC archival MBBS course record, the TNMGRMU 2024-25 affiliated matrix (institution code 011, intake 100) and CMC's own 2026 prospectus, which splits the 100 seats 50% government and 50% management.
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at CMC Vellore?
Candidates must qualify NEET-UG and have completed 17 years of age on or before 31 December of the admission year. For the 20% Tamil Nadu Christian-minority merit list (Category B), candidates must be natives of Tamil Nadu and belong to the Christian minority (certificate from competent revenue authority required). For the CMC management-quota Minority Network seats (part of the 50%), candidates must be Indian nationals recommended by a recognised CMC Vellore Association Minority Network church or organisation — Tamil Nadu nativity is NOT a requirement for the Minority Network route.

NMC's college-level record gives pg Approved = 258 for the NMC-regulated MD/MS/DM/M.Ch seats. PG admission is on NEET-PG / NEET-SS merit through the relevant counselling channel. The per-discipline AY 2025-26 PG seat matrix was not pulled for this page, so the breakdown is qualitative — 346 is the comprehensive CMC-reported total.
