BranchCategoryRoundOpeningClosing
MBBS admission at Meenakshi Medical College is 100% through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC, DGHS) on NEET-UG merit — the deemed/paid and NRI All-India rounds — because MAHER is a deemed-to-be university; there is no Tamil Nadu state-quota cut-off here. The table above shows last-allotted (deepest-round) NEET-PG 2025 ranks for the college's MD/MS deemed seats, read from the MCC round-wise allotment lists — treat them as MCC allotment-list readings, not officially published cut-off ranks. Paid-Seat / Merit rounds close at sharper ranks than the Self-Financed Merit pool (e.g. MD General Medicine Paid R1 ~46,965 vs Self-Financed ~89,883), and NRI seats close far deeper (e.g. MD General Medicine NRI ~1,78,227). Round-wise NEET-UG (MBBS) deemed closing ranks were not reproduced this cycle — verify the latest on the MCC portal at counselling time.

Scholarships
Scholarships
MAHER (the parent deemed university) has a Scholarship section and the MMCHRI home page carries an active announcement: 'Applications Open for Institutional Scholarships'. Prospective students should check the MAHER Scholarship portal (maher.ac.in, Students → Scholarship) and the MMCHRI Admissions announcements for current institutional scholarship criteria and application windows. In addition, Tamil Nadu and Government of India scholarship schemes (such as the National Scholarship Portal, scholarships.gov.in, and SC/ST and minority welfare schemes) are available to eligible students; eligibility criteria and coverage are set by the respective scheme administrators. Because MBBS admission runs entirely through MCC at the deemed-university tuition of Rs 23,00,000 per year, families should confirm any institutional fee-waiver or scholarship directly with the college.

FAQ
Meenakshi Medical College FAQs
What is the NRI quota MBBS fee at Meenakshi Medical College?
The college quotes the NRI tuition in US dollars: US$ 50,000 per year (each of the 4.5 years) in its AY 2025-26 notification. Any rupee figure you see for the NRI seat is only an indicative conversion, not the notified amount. NRI seats are filled through the MCC (DGHS) NRI round on NEET-UG merit, with the sponsor and relationship documents MCC requires — there is no non-NEET or off-counselling route.
What were the NEET cut-offs for Meenakshi Medical College?
For PG (NEET-PG 2025) the last-allotted MCC deemed-quota ranks read from the round-wise allotment lists were, for example, MD General Medicine about 89,883 (Self-Financed Merit) and 46,965 (Paid Seat, Round 1), MD Radio-Diagnosis about 75,600, MD Dermatology about 50,962, MS General Surgery about 1,36,324, and NRI seats far deeper (MD General Medicine NRI about 1,78,227). These are MCC allotment-list readings, not officially published cut-offs. For MBBS, admission is 100% via MCC on NEET-UG merit; verify the latest round-wise UG closing ranks on the MCC portal at counselling time.
How many MBBS seats does Meenakshi Medical College have?
250 MBBS seats, per the NMC final UG seat matrix dated 03.12.2025 (flat 250 across AY 2024-25 and AY 2025-26) and the college's own sanctioned intake-capacity disclosure. The college began with a 100-seat MBBS Letter of Permission in 2003 and grew the intake to 250 over the years.
Is Meenakshi Medical College recognised by the NMC?
Yes. The college's NMC MARB Pro-Forma records 'Status of Recognition: Recognized', with the first MBBS Letter of Permission dated 27.06.2003 (100 seats), later grown to 250. This is a mature deemed-university college, not an LOP/permitted-stage one. The degree is awarded by MAHER (Meenakshi Academy of Higher Education and Research), a deemed-to-be university under Section 3 of the UGC Act, 1956.
Which university is Meenakshi Medical College under, and how does counselling work?
The college is the constituent medical college of Meenakshi Academy of Higher Education and Research (MAHER), a deemed-to-be university that awards the degree itself (self-affiliating) — there is no TNMGRMU affiliation. Because it is deemed, all admissions run through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC, DGHS) on NEET merit (deemed/paid and NRI rounds), not the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee.
What is the total MBBS course cost at Meenakshi Medical College?
Tuition is Rs 23,00,000 per year for the 4.5-year course — about Rs 1.035 crore in tuition alone over the course (this is the annual fee added across years, not a one-time year-1 payment). On top of tuition, hostel & mess is Rs 2,50,000 per year (about Rs 11.25 lakh over the course), plus one-time fees of Rs 50,000 (admission) and Rs 90,000 (miscellaneous). NRI tuition is quoted separately by the college in US dollars at US$ 50,000 per year.
What are the hostel fees at Meenakshi Medical College?
The AY 2025-26 notification publishes a Hostel & Mess Fee of Rs 2,50,000 per year. The campus has separate boys' and girls' hostels with dining halls, gym rooms and study rooms. The notification does not itemise what the hostel-and-mess fee includes beyond room and board, so confirm room-sharing and inclusions with the college at admission.
How big is the teaching hospital at Meenakshi Medical College?
The attached hospital has 1,110 broad-specialty beds across 37 units and 80 super-specialty beds across 4 units (Cardiology, Neurology, Medical Gastroenterology, Urology) — 1,190 beds in all. It has been operational since 2002, and its 2023 census records 9,75,880 outpatients for the year (about 3,253 per day), an average of 902 inpatients a day and an 81.2% bed-occupancy rate.
Does Meenakshi Medical College have MD/MS and DM/M.Ch (PG) courses?
Yes. The college offers MD/MS in 19 broad-specialty disciplines and DM/M.Ch super-specialty. Note that two official college sources give different seat totals: the sanctioned intake-capacity PDF (January 2024) shows MD/MS 86 seats (including MD General Medicine 12, MS General Surgery 15, MD Anaesthesiology 8, MD Paediatrics 8, MD Radio-Diagnosis 7) and DM/M.Ch 11 seats across 4 disciplines (DM Cardiology 4, DM Neurology 4, DM Medical Gastroenterology 1, M.Ch Urology 2); the AY 2025-26 admissions page table shows MD/MS 108 and DM/M.Ch 6 (only 3 programs listed, no DM Neurology). Verify current PG seat availability on the MCC / college portal at counselling time. PG admission runs via MCC on NEET-PG (MD/MS) or NEET-SS (DM/M.Ch). The NMC MARB Pro-Forma's 'admitted this session' figure of 80 for MD/MS is a session-fill count.
Is Meenakshi Medical College safe — are there anti-ragging and harassment committees?
Yes. As an NMC-recognised college, MMCHRI maintains an Anti-Ragging Committee and Anti-Ragging Squad under the NMC/UGC anti-ragging regulations and an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for women's safety under the POSH Act. Students and parents can also use the national UGC anti-ragging portal, antiragging.in, in addition to the college's own committees.
Is this the same as Meenakshi Mission Hospital, Madurai?
No. This is Meenakshi Medical College Hospital and Research Institute (MMCHRI) at Enathur, Kanchipuram, under MAHER (Meenakshi Academy of Higher Education and Research), a deemed-to-be university. Meenakshi Mission Hospital & Research Centre, Madurai is a completely different institution at a different city. They share only the 'Meenakshi' name. MAHER's dental, engineering, nursing and allied-health colleges are also separate, non-MBBS institutions.
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at Meenakshi Medical College?
Qualify NEET-UG (conducted by the NTA), meet the age requirement and have passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology (with the marks thresholds applicable to your category). Then register for MCC (DGHS) deemed/All-India counselling, choose Meenakshi Medical College in the deemed/paid or NRI round, and complete document verification and fee payment on allotment. There is no separate state-quota application for this deemed college.
