Sri Muthukumaran Medical College NEET-UG cutoffs
Official last-allotted NEET-UG ranks for Sri Muthukumaran Medical College (Tamil Nadu Selection Committee code 349) for AY 2025-26 are not yet published in a per-college, round-wise form on the Selection Committee portal, so no closing ranks are stated here rather than guessed. MBBS seats at this self-financing college are filled strictly on NEET-UG merit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee single-window across three categories — Government Quota (Category B), Management Quota (Category E, including the Telugu linguistic-minority Category F) and NRI Quota (Category G). There is no separate management-quota 'cut-off' beyond NEET qualification and the committee's merit order. Check the official Selection Committee round-wise allotment lists for code 349 when they are published.

Sri Muthukumaran Medical College Hospital and Research Institute (SMMCHRI) is a self-financing private medical college at Chikkarayapuram, near Mangadu on the western edge of Chennai, started in the academic year 2010-11 by the Sri Muthukumaran Educational Trust (a public charitable trust formed in 1983) with an MBBS intake of 150. It is a recognised Telugu Linguistic Minority Institution affiliated to The Tamil Nadu Dr. R. Medical University (TNMGRMU) — that minority status changes the seat split to 50:50 government:management but does NOT lower the fee, so it sits in the standard self-financing band. 87, January 2025) and holds NABH and NABL accreditation along with ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 50001:2018 certification and CAHO membership. Its clinical training runs through a 720-plus bed multi-specialty teaching hospital, and it offers, besides MBBS, eight NMC-recognised MD/MS postgraduate disciplines. Departments encourage research projects, case studies and publications, particularly in Pathology, Pharmacology, Community Medicine and other clinical specialties. Note carefully: this college is the self-financing 'Sri Muthukumaran' college (Tamil Nadu Selection Committee code 349, NMC code TN/059/P/3) — it is NOT any of the Chennai deemed universities with similar-sounding names such as Sri Ramachandra, Sree Balaji or Sri Lalithambigai, which admit through MCC and have their own separate fees.

FAQ
Sri Muthukumaran Medical College FAQs
What was the NEET cutoff for Sri Muthukumaran Medical College?
Per-college, round-wise last-allotted NEET-UG ranks for Sri Muthukumaran Medical College (Selection Committee code 349) for AY 2025-26 are not yet published on the Selection Committee portal, so no closing rank is stated here rather than guessed. MBBS seats fill on NEET-UG merit through the Selection Committee across the Government, Management and NRI categories; there is no separate management-quota cut-off beyond NEET qualification and the committee's merit order. Check the official Selection Committee allotment lists for code 349 when they are released.
How many MBBS seats does Sri Muthukumaran Medical College have?
150 MBBS seats, per the NMC Final Seat Matrix as on 03 December 2025 (AY 2025-26) — unchanged from AY 2024-25 and matching the college's TNMGRMU affiliation as institution code 349. The college also runs eight NMC-recognised MD/MS postgraduate disciplines totalling 32 seats (General Surgery 11, General Medicine 8, Anaesthesiology 4, Obstetrics & Gynaecology 3, ENT 2, Community Medicine 2, Psychiatry 1, Ophthalmology 1).
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at Sri Muthukumaran Medical College?
A candidate must qualify NEET-UG, be at least 17 years old by 31 December of the admission year, and have passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry and Biology / Biotechnology meeting the NMC minimum-marks rule (40% for reserved categories). Admission is then through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee under the Government, Management or NRI category; Telugu linguistic-minority and Government-school sub-quota claims need the relevant study and community certificates at verification.
Which university is Sri Muthukumaran Medical College affiliated to, and is it a deemed university?
It is affiliated to The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University (TNMGRMU), Chennai, and it is a self-financing private college — NOT a deemed university. That distinction matters: its MBBS seats are filled by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (Government, Management and NRI quotas on NEET-UG state merit), not by MCC / DGHS. Deemed-university colleges in Chennai run their own 100% MCC counselling; this college does not.
Is Sri Muthukumaran Medical College recognised by the NMC?
MBBS has run since the college's NMC Letter of Permission of 14 May 2010, and the college now holds NMC recognition across eight MD/MS postgraduate disciplines and states it is 'recognized by the NMC'. The exact verbatim NMC-portal recognition-status text could not be machine-read at author time, and the NMC mandatory-disclosure pro-forma records a historic denied-batch flag (with no current stoppage of admission), so this page attributes current recognition to the college's disclosure and the NMC permanent code TN/059/P/3 rather than asserting a flawless recognition history.
Is Sri Muthukumaran Medical College the same as Sri Ramachandra, Sree Balaji or Sri Lalithambigai?
No — these are different colleges and mixing them up is the commonest confusion. Sri Muthukumaran Medical College is the self-financing, Telugu-minority college at Mangadu, Chennai (Selection Committee code 349, NMC code TN/059/P/3), affiliated to TNMGRMU and admitting through the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee. Sri Ramachandra, Sree Balaji and Sri Lalithambigai are deemed-university medical colleges that admit through MCC and set their own separate fees. Always check the college code and the counselling route before paying anything.
Is Sri Muthukumaran Medical College safe — are there anti-ragging and harassment committees?
Yes. As an NMC-recognised college it is required to run an Anti-Ragging Committee and Anti-Ragging Squad and an Internal Complaints Committee for women's safety under the POSH Act, and the NMC pro-forma confirms CCTV per NMC advisory and a Hospital Infection Control Committee on campus. Ragging complaints can also be raised on the national UGC anti-ragging portal at antiragging.in, which applies to every college in India.
How big is the teaching hospital at Sri Muthukumaran Medical College?
The college runs a 720-plus bed multi-specialty teaching hospital on campus, with a hospital built-up area of about 40,118 sq m per the college's own disclosures, supporting the full MBBS clinical curriculum and its eight MD/MS disciplines. Community-medicine training runs through an Urban Health Training Centre at Nandhambakkam and a Rural Health Training Centre at Amarambedu. Daily OPD / inpatient / theatre volumes are not published on the college site.
What are the hostel fees at Sri Muthukumaran Medical College?
The college provides separate AC and non-AC hostels for boys and girls (UG students, interns, residents and nurses) with solar water heating, a mess and a gymnasium, but it does not publish a hostel or mess rupee figure. Under the Selection Committee's 14 July 2025 fee order, hostel, transport and mess charges are optional and excluded from the tuition fee, and colleges file these charges with the committee before counselling — so confirm the current amounts with the college at admission.
