Overview
About CMC Vellore
Christian Medical College, Vellore is a private medical college (self-financing, christian minority) in Vellore (Thorapadi Post, Bagayam — Vellore 632 002), Tamil Nadu. Christian Medical College, Vellore offers 2 programmes, 1 at undergraduate level and 1 at postgraduate level. They are MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) and MD / MS, DM / M.CH and PG Diploma (postgraduate & super-speciality). The stated sanctioned intake across these programmes totals 446 seats. CMC Vellore provides separate men's and women's hostels with wardens for its students. Per CMC's 2026 course prospectus fee schedule, the hostel deposit/advance is about Rs 10,000 for both men's and women's hostels, with approximate monthly bills of around Rs 8,000 (men) and Rs 9,500 (women); the published MBBS tuition of Rs 56,330 per year is shown separately and excludes accommodation. Exact room-sharing options and inclusions beyond these figures are not detailed in the public prospectus. 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). 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). 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. Christian Medical College, Vellore is a multi-campus institution headquartered at Bagayam, Vellore, with the MBBS medical college, the teaching hospital and ancillary institutions. CMC's 2024-25 Facts & Figures describes a sprawling institution of seven campuses in Vellore and Andhra Pradesh with more than 3,700 beds total (3,701 beds CMC-wide, with the Vellore Town Campus recording 1,879 beds and 254 ICU beds across the CMC system), about 13,000 staff and over 3.4 million outpatient visits a year. The MBBS programme admits 100 students a year (511 UG students on roll in 2024-25) with an emphasis on hands-on learning, early patient contact and ethical clinical practice. CMC is an unaided, not-for-profit Christian-minority institution that marked its 125th year in 2025, and is ranked NIRF Medical #3 in India (India Rankings 2025) per its own NIRF page.

Cutoffs · NEET-UG
CMC Vellore NEET-UG cutoffs
Christian Medical College, Vellore fills its 100 MBBS seats on NEET-UG merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (DME) single window, under the Supreme Court order in I.A.No.110584/2022 in W.P.(C) No.8/2022: 30% by the State Government quota, 20% by the Tamil Nadu Christian-Minority merit list, and 50% by the CMC management (Open 2 + Minority Network 38 + CMC Vellore Staff 10) — every group strictly on NEET (UG) rank. 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 Sel Comm allotment list at counselling.

FAQ
CMC Vellore FAQs
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.
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'.

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.
