All figures are All-India NEET ranks, not marks.
How many MBBS seats does Shri Sathya Sai Medical College have?
250 MBBS seats, per the NMC Final UG Seat Matrix of 03.12.2025 (S.No 590), flat from AY 2024-25. The college began MBBS in AY 2008-09 with 150 seats and was permitted to enhance to 250 (NMC seat-increase LOP dated 07-02-2022). All 250 are filled through MCC (DGHS) deemed counselling (paid seat + NRI) on NEET-UG merit; there is no state-quota tier.
Is Shri Sathya Sai Medical College recognised by the NMC?
The original 150-seat MBBS (from AY 2008-09) was recognised long ago, and the college operates as a constituent of the Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV) deemed-to-be university (UGC Section 3, deemed status 20-02-2009). The enhanced 250-seat intake runs under annual NMC-MARB permission-renewal — the most recent published NMC letter is a 'Renewal of permission (2nd renewal / 3rd batch) against 250 MBBS' for AY 2023-24; a 2024-25/2025-26 renewal/recognition letter was not located on the official site this cycle, so confirm the current-year status at counselling. The NMC Final UG Seat Matrix of 03.12.2025 lists 250 MBBS seats.
Which university is Shri Sathya Sai Medical College under, and is it the same as Sree Balaji or the Puttaparthi Sai hospital?
Shri Sathya Sai Medical College and Research Institute (Ammapettai, Chengalpattu) is a constituent college of Sri Balaji Vidyapeeth (SBV), a deemed-to-be university headquartered in Puducherry; its sibling medical college is MGMCRI, Puducherry. It is NOT the same as 'Sree Balaji Medical College and Hospital' (Chennai), which belongs to the separate Bharath Institute of Higher Education and Research (BIHER). It is also distinct from the 'Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences' in Puttaparthi (Andhra Pradesh) and Whitefield, Bangalore (Karnataka), which are a different charity/trust entirely. Any NIRF or NAAC credential for this institution belongs to the SBV parent university (see the recognition note).
What are the MD/MS (PG) fees at Shri Sathya Sai Medical College?
The college runs about 16 MD/MS broad-specialty disciplines (MD General Medicine, Paediatrics, Anaesthesiology, Radio-Diagnosis, Dermatology, Pathology, Microbiology, Pharmacology, Forensic Medicine, Community Medicine, Respiratory Medicine; MS General Surgery, Orthopaedics, OBG, ENT, Ophthalmology), all filled by MCC (DGHS) on NEET-PG merit under deemed paid-seat and NRI quotas. The official per-discipline PG sanctioned-fee table is not published on the college site this cycle and is recorded as a cited absence — confirm the exact MD/MS fees on the MCC bulletin / SBV notification at counselling. The MBBS management-paid tuition (for reference) is Rs 22,00,000 per year.
Does Shri Sathya Sai Medical College have a government / state-quota MBBS fee?
No. As a constituent college of the SBV deemed-to-be university, Shri Sathya Sai has no subsidised government / state-quota tier and no Tamil Nadu Selection Committee (DME) seats. Every MBBS seat is a deemed / management paid seat or an NRI seat, all allotted by MCC (DGHS) on NEET-UG merit. The only published MBBS tuition is the management/paid-seat figure (Rs 22,00,000/yr, AY 2025-26); the NRI figure is not published (cited absence).
Is the NIRF rank 67 the medical college's ranking?
No — that rank belongs to the parent university. Shri Sathya Sai Medical College does not carry a NIRF-Medical rank of its own, so no medical-college NIRF rank is claimed on this page.
How big is the teaching hospital at Shri Sathya Sai Medical College?
The college publishes two figures, both shown here: the about page describes a 'well-planned 700 bedded hospital', while the hospital page states it houses 890 in-patient beds at about 85% occupancy, handling roughly 1,800 patients per day.
