Cutoffs · NEET-UG
Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences NEET-UG cutoffs
MBBS seats at MAPIMS are filled only on NEET-UG All-India merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single-window counselling (TNMGRMU institution code 243) — Government Quota (Category B), Management Quota (Category E) and NRI Quota (Category G). The last-allotted (closing) NEET rank for each category is published by the Selection Committee in its round-wise Merit/Allotted lists each admission cycle; the AY 2025-26 college-and-category closing ranks for code 243 were not yet consolidated in a verifiable official table at the time of writing, so no closing rank is asserted here (we do not publish aggregator cut-offs). Use the official Selection Committee allotment archive below for the current-year closing ranks.

FAQ
Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences FAQs
What was the NEET cutoff (closing rank) for MAPIMS Melmaruvathur?
MBBS seats at MAPIMS fill only on NEET-UG All-India merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single-window (institution code 243), separately for the Government, Management and NRI quotas. The Selection Committee publishes the last-allotted (closing) NEET rank for each category in its round-wise Merit/Allotted lists every admission cycle. The AY 2025-26 college-and-category closing ranks for code 243 were not yet consolidated in a verifiable official table at the time of writing, so no rank is stated here — we do not publish aggregator cut-offs. Check the official Selection Committee allotment archive for the current-year closing ranks.
How many MBBS seats does MAPIMS have?
MAPIMS has a sanctioned MBBS intake of 150 seats, recorded in the NMC final UG seat matrix dated 03.12.2025 (serial 583, management type 'Trust') and flat across AY 2024-25 and AY 2025-26. The college carries TNMGRMU institution code 243, and the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee's approved-colleges list dated 13.02.2026 lists MAPIMS with 150 seats in the Self-Financing Medical Colleges section.
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at MAPIMS?
Candidates must qualify NEET-UG (conducted by the NTA), have studied Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English in Class 12, and have completed 17 years of age by 31 December of the admission year. Admission is then made on NEET-UG merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single-window across the Government, Management and NRI quotas. Reserved-category benefits follow Tamil Nadu's communal reservation rules in the Selection Committee prospectus.
Is MAPIMS recognised by the NMC, and which university awards the MBBS degree?
MBBS at MAPIMS is RECOGNISED by the National Medical Commission — the college's NMC pro-forma cites the Ministry recognition notification No. 2008. The degree is awarded by The Tamil Nadu Dr. R. Medical University, Chennai, under TNMGRMU institution code 243. No NAAC grade or NIRF Medical rank is published for the medical college itself, so neither is claimed.
What hostel facilities does MAPIMS provide?
MAPIMS provides separate on-campus men's and women's hostels. Per the college's NMC pro-forma the men's hostel has 198 rooms (342 students accommodated) and the women's hostel 220 rooms (435 students accommodated), with dining facilities on campus. The college does not publish a hostel or mess fee figure, and the Tamil Nadu fee order keeps hostel, transport and mess outside the notified tuition, so no rupee figure is stated here.
What is MAPIMS Melmaruvathur known for?
MAPIMS is run by the Adhiparasakthi Charitable Medical, Educational and Cultural Trust (founded 1978 by His Holiness Bangaru Adigalar) and is built around a 690-bed teaching hospital that has provided free healthcare to roughly 750 surrounding villages since 1986 — predating the 2008 college. It is known for large community-medicine outreach, including annual mega eye camps performing over 1,400 cataract surgeries and a round-the-clock dialysis centre, on a highway campus about 92 km south of Chennai in Chengalpattu district.
When does MBBS admission happen at MAPIMS, and how do I apply?
Admission follows the national NEET-UG cycle: the NTA conducts NEET-UG (typically around May, results in June), after which the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee opens its single-window counselling for self-financing colleges. You register with the Selection Committee, complete certificate verification, fill and lock choices (MAPIMS = institution code 243), receive an allotment by NEET rank and category, pay the year's tuition online when downloading the allotment order, and report to the college. Always follow the dates published on the official Selection Committee portal.
Is MAPIMS safe for students, and what anti-ragging measures are in place?
As an NMC-recognised medical college MAPIMS is bound by the UGC/NMC anti-ragging regulations and maintains an Anti-Ragging Committee and Squad and an Internal Complaints Committee for women's safety under the POSH Act, alongside a Grievance Redressal Cell named in its NMC pro-forma. Students can also raise complaints through the national UGC anti-ragging portal at antiragging.in. Ragging is a punishable offence and is prohibited on campus and in the hostels.
Is MAPIMS the same as the Adhiparasakthi dental or engineering colleges?
No. This page covers only the MBBS medical college — Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MAPIMS, TN code 243). The Adhiparasakthi Trust separately runs Adhiparasakthi Dental College and engineering/arts colleges; their courses, fees and admissions are different and are not covered here. Any ecosystem-wide student counts, faculty figures, accreditation banners or star ratings displayed on the trust's website describe the wider Adhiparasakthi group, not this MBBS medical college alone; no such credential is published specifically for MAPIMS.
