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not yet consolidated in a verifiable official table at the time of writing, so no closing rank is asserted here (we do not publish aggregator cut-offs).

Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MAPIMS) is a self-financing medical college established in 2008 at Melmaruvathur, near National Highway NH-45 about 92 km south of Chennai in Chengalpattu district, run by the Adhiparasakthi Charitable Medical, Educational and Cultural Trust (ACMEC Trust, founded 1978 by His Holiness Bangaru Adigalar). A teaching hospital attached to the campus has provided free and low-cost healthcare to roughly 750 surrounding villages since 1986 and now operates as a 690-bed teaching hospital per the NMC mandatory-disclosure pro-forma. MBBS is recognised by the National Medical Commission (Ministry recognition notification dated 09.02.2018) and affiliated to The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, with a sanctioned intake of 150. The institute houses a Central Research Laboratory with Institutional Ethics and Institutional Animal Ethics Committees and runs ongoing research projects, and it offers 17 MD/MS postgraduate broad specialities with departments commencing in 2020-21 (fourteen departments) and 2021-22 (Community Medicine, General Medicine and ENT). Distinctive community-medicine programmes include annual mega eye camps performing over 1,400 cataract surgeries and a round-the-clock dialysis centre. Note carefully: the trust's website carries ecosystem-wide student counts, faculty figures, an accreditation rating and a QS star rating that describe the wider Adhiparasakthi group (which also runs separate dental, engineering and arts colleges), NOT this medical college; no NAAC grade or NIRF Medical rank is published for MAPIMS itself and none is claimed here.

FAQ
Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research FAQs
What is the management quota fee for MBBS at Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences (MAPIMS)?
The Management Quota (Category E) tuition is Rs 15,00,000 per year, fixed by the Tamil Nadu Committee on Fixation of Fee (Justice R. Pongiappan) in its order dated 12.06.2025 and published by the Selection Committee on 14.07.2025 for AY 2025-26. By comparison the Government Quota (Category B) is Rs 4,50,000 per year and the NRI Quota (Category G) is Rs 27,00,000 per year. The fee is annual (per year, not front-loaded across the course), and hostel, transport and mess are not included. Management seats are allotted on NEET-UG merit through the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee single-window — there is no separate institutional 'direct admission'.
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.
Is there direct admission in MBBS at MAPIMS without NEET?
No. Every MBBS seat — Government Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota — is allotted only on NEET-UG merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single-window against institution code 243. There is no institutional 'direct admission' and no capitation: the Management Quota simply has a higher notified fee (Rs 15,00,000 per year), but the seat is still won on NEET rank and category through the same state counselling.
What is the government quota MBBS fee at MAPIMS?
The Government Quota (Category B) tuition is Rs 4,50,000 per year for AY 2025-26, as fixed by the Tamil Nadu Committee on Fixation of Fee (order dated 12.06.2025, published 14.07.2025). These seats are allotted on NEET-UG state merit through the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee single-window. A self-financing college has no further state-subsidised tier below this figure.
What is the NRI quota fee at MAPIMS, and is there an NRI-lapsed category?
The NRI Quota (Category G) tuition is Rs 27,00,000 per year for AY 2025-26 under the 12.06.2025 committee order. The separate NRI-lapsed (Category I) tier was abolished for 2025-26, so any NRI seats that fall vacant are added to the Management Quota. NRI seats are allotted through the same Tamil Nadu Selection Committee single-window on NEET-UG merit, against the eligible NRI sponsorship rules in the Committee's prospectus.
What is the total MBBS course cost at MAPIMS?
Tamil Nadu tuition is charged per year, not as a single front-loaded sum, so the indicative tuition-only course cost over the 4.5 academic years is roughly Rs 20.25 lakh on the Government Quota (Rs 4,50,000 x 4.5), about Rs 67.5 lakh on the Management Quota (Rs 15,00,000 x 4.5) and about Rs 1.215 crore on the NRI Quota (Rs 27,00,000 x 4.5), at current AY 2025-26 rates. These are tuition only — hostel, transport and mess are extra — and the maximum fee is fixed for students admitted in 2025-26, 2026-27 and 2027-28; later years await a future committee order.
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.
Does MAPIMS offer MD/MS postgraduate courses, and what are the PG fees?
Yes. The college's NMC pro-forma lists 17 MD/MS broad-speciality departments — including General Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, Radio-Diagnosis, Pathology, Pharmacology and the pre/para-clinical subjects — with 44 MD/MS students admitted in 2023-24; there is no DM/MCh super-speciality programme. Under the same 12.06.2025 fee order the PG fee is, per year: clinical MD/MS Government Quota Rs 3,50,000, Management Quota Rs 16,00,000 and NRI Rs 29,00,000; non-clinical MD/MS Government Quota Rs 3,00,000, Management Quota Rs 5,00,000 and NRI Rs 19,00,000.
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. U-12012/346/2014-ME.I (FTS.82321) dated 09.02.2018, and the first Letter of Permission is dated 04.07.2008. The degree is awarded by The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.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.
