BranchCategoryRoundOpeningClosing
The PG ranks above are LAST-ALLOTTED NEET-PG 2025 ranks for VELS, extracted from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC/DGHS) final round-wise seat-allotment result PDFs (48 VELS allotment rows across Round 2, Round 3 and the Stray Vacancy Round, with deemed/self-financed seats filling in the later rounds). The source PDFs are the official MCC Final Allotment result files hosted on the GoI S3WaaS CDN (cdnbbsr.s3waas.gov.in), downloaded on 2026-06-11 and parsed row-by-row; the VELS rows fall under the 'Self-Financed Merit Seat' and 'Non-Resident Indian' quotas. They are allotment-list readings, not an official 'cutoff' publication. For the UG (MBBS) deemed quota, VELS admits 100% through MCC on NEET-UG merit, but per-college last-allotted NEET-UG ranks for the deemed round are not extracted here (the MCC UG 2025 deemed-round result PDFs were not parsed at author time) — see the cited absences. MCC's official allotment lists govern.

Scholarships
Scholarships
VELS/VISTAS states that deserving students are awarded scholarships on merit (a general institutional line), but no specific MBBS scholarship scheme, amount or eligibility is published for the medical college. Tamil Nadu domicile students may separately pursue government scholarships (state/central, e.g. National Scholarship Portal) on their own eligibility. No medical-college-specific scholarship figure is claimed here.
Infrastructure & facilities
Labs, library, sports, hostels & campus facilities
VELS Medical College & Hospital (VMCH) is located at Manjankaranai Village on Periyapalayam Road, Uthukottai Taluk, Tiruvallur District — on the northern fringe of the Chennai metropolitan region. Two official sources give different campus areas: the MBBS prospectus states 51 acres while the college website (homepage, about-us, and leadership pages) describes a 40-acre campus; both figures are recorded here without adjudication. Its clinical anchor is the attached VELS Hospital, a NABH-accredited teaching hospital that the college's MBBS prospectus and hospital page describe as a 935-bed tertiary-care facility with 11 major and 7 minor operation theatres, 20+ specialty departments and over 2,000 outpatients a day (the college's PG prospectus separately describes the centre as 1,030-bedded — both figures are recorded here without picking one). Regarding critical care capacity, two official documents also conflict: the MBBS prospectus states 110 ICU/HDU beds, while the hospital page's detailed bed-allocation table lists 13 critical-care ward categories (ICU, ICCU, IMCU, RICU, NICU, PICU, SICU, PACU, OBS HDU, POW, Burns ICU, Emergency Medicine, PACU) totalling 95 critical care beds — both figures are recorded without resolving the discrepancy. The college library seats 350 and holds over 14,000 books plus more than 75 national and international print journals alongside e-journals and e-resources; demonstration rooms (25/50-seat), a 250-seat examination hall and an auditorium support teaching. The hospital and central lab are ISO 9001:2015 certified, the lab is NABL-accredited and the hospital holds NABH accreditation. The parent VELS Group reports a 33-year education legacy across 52 institutions, 34 campuses and over 48,000 students (MBBS prospectus figure; the PG prospectus reports 54 institutions and 51,000 students).

Research & rankings
Centres, patents, grants & MoU partners
VELS Medical College & Hospital (VMCH) is the medical college of the VELS Group, run under Vels Institute of Science, Technology & Advanced Studies (VISTAS) — a Deemed-to-be University established in 1992 and granted deemed status in 2008. The medical college and hospital were established in 2018 at Manjankaranai Village, Tiruvallur, with the MBBS course starting from AY 2021-22 under an NMC Letter of Permission (NMC/UG/2020/000070, dated 13.10.2021), which makes VMCH one of Tamil Nadu's newest deemed-university medical colleges. As a Permitted (not yet Recognised) LOP-stage college, it does not yet carry its own NAAC/NIRF standing — both are recorded honestly as not-yet-applicable rather than invented. The NAAC 'A++' grade and UGC 12B status seen in VELS marketing belong to the parent VISTAS university, not to the medical college; VMCH itself is not separately NAAC-graded or NIRF-ranked. What the college does carry officially: a 935-bed (1,030-bed per the PG prospectus) NABH-accredited teaching hospital, ISO 9001:2015 certification, a NABL-accredited central laboratory, and 13 MD/MS postgraduate disciplines. Admission to every MBBS and MD/MS seat is on NEET merit through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC/DGHS) — there is no non-NEET or state-quota route to this college, even though the wider VELS/VISTAS group also runs separate arts, science, pharmacy, law, dental and other professional streams that are entirely distinct from this NEET-only MBBS programme. As of June 2026, the first MBBS batch (admitted AY 2021-22) is completing the 4.5-year course; the college's official website announces Third Year MBBS Part II examination results for May 2026 for the current student cohort. A university-aggregated MBBS pass percentage and formal intern stipend data specific to VMCH have not yet been published on the college's website and are not claimed here.

FAQ
VELS Medical College & Hospital, Tiruvallur FAQs
What is the management quota fee for MBBS at VELS Medical College & Hospital?
Rs 21,97,000 per year (year 1) for the management (paid) seat — annual tuition Rs 21,00,000 plus other fees Rs 97,000 — for the 2025-26 session, as printed in the college's own MBBS prospectus FEE DETAILS table. The prospectus states the fee is paid in 5 equal annual installments of Rs 21.97 lakh across the 4.5-year course, so the full-course management tuition is about Rs 1,09,85,000. VELS sets this fee under its own VISTAS deemed-university notification; there is no separate Tamil Nadu Selection Committee band for a deemed college.
What is the NRI quota fee for MBBS at VELS?
USD 46,800 per year (year 1) for the NRI seat — USD 41,800 tuition plus USD 5,000 other fees — per the college's MBBS prospectus 2025-26. The prospectus quotes the NRI tier in US dollars, and it is shown here in USD rather than silently converted to rupees. Like every VELS seat, the NRI seat is allotted through MCC (DGHS) on NEET-UG merit, not by direct admission.
Is there direct admission to MBBS at VELS?
No. Every MBBS seat at VELS — management/paid and NRI alike — is allotted only through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC/DGHS) on NEET-UG merit. A valid NEET-UG result is mandatory and no seat can be obtained outside the NEET and MCC counselling process. Be cautious of any agent promising a seat outside NEET/MCC counselling.
Does VELS admit through the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee or through MCC?
Through MCC (DGHS) only. VELS is a Deemed-to-be University, so its MBBS and MD/MS seats are filled 100% by the Medical Counselling Committee of the DGHS, New Delhi — not by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (DME) and not by any state body. The college's own admission process says to register at mcc.nic.in, choose 'Deemed University medical colleges', and select VELS Medical College & Hospital among your choices. There is no government/state-quota tier at a deemed college, which is why VELS does not appear on the TN Selection Committee's self-financing/state-private college list.
How many MBBS seats does VELS Medical College have?
250 MBBS seats for AY 2025-26. The NMC final UG seat matrix dated 03.12.2025 (S.No 610) records 150 seats in AY 2024-25 rising to 250 in AY 2025-26 — a Letter-of-Permission increase from 150 to 250 — and the college's own MBBS prospectus 2025-26 prints 'MBBS (250 seats)'.
Is VELS Medical College recognised by the NMC?
It is PERMITTED, not yet Recognised. The NMC Medical Assessment & Rating Board issued a Letter of Permission (ref NMC/UG/2020/000070, dated 13.10.2021) starting MBBS with 150 seats for AY 2021-22 under VISTAS (Deemed-to-be University); the intake was later raised to 250. Recognition under the Act is considered only when the first admitted batch reaches its final MBBS examination — around 2025-26 for the first 2021-22 batch. The college's marketing in places says 'Approved by NMC'; the accurate status is Permitted, which is what is stated here.
What is the eligibility for MBBS admission at VELS?
A valid NEET-UG score as specified by NMC/MCC, then registration for MCC (DGHS) deemed-university counselling. The standard MBBS rules apply: pass in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology with English at 10+2, the NMC-prescribed minimum NEET percentile, and completion of 17 years of age by 31 December of the admission year. Selection of VELS is through your MCC choice list under 'Deemed University medical colleges'.
Does VELS have MD/MS (PG) courses and what are the PG fees?
Yes — VELS offers 13 broad-specialty MD/MS disciplines (about 41 PG seats), including General Medicine, General Surgery, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, ENT, Dermatology, Radio-diagnosis, Paediatrics, OBG, Ophthalmology, Psychiatry, Pathology and Community Medicine. The PG prospectus 2025-26 prints management-quota PG tuition under a header labelled 'Annual Fee for MQ (INR)', ranging from Rs 10,00,000 to Rs 70,00,000 per year by specialty (NRI PG seats are quoted as a separate 3-year USD programme fee). PG admission is through MCC (DGHS) on NEET-PG merit.
What was the NEET-PG cutoff at VELS?
There is no single official 'cutoff' for a deemed college; the honest figures are last-allotted NEET-PG 2025 ranks computed from MCC's deemed-university allotment lists. Under the deemed/Self-Financing-Merit quota, last-allotted ranks reached roughly: MD General Medicine 1,17,507; MD Paediatrics 1,21,711; MS Obstetrics & Gynaecology 1,26,401; MS Ophthalmology 1,19,004; MS Orthopaedics 1,50,729; MD Pathology 1,80,167; MD Community Medicine 2,04,620. These are allotment-list readings, not an official cutoff publication, and MCC's lists govern.
What is the total MBBS course cost at VELS?
About Rs 1,09,85,000 (roughly Rs 1.10 crore) for the management/paid seat — five equal annual installments of Rs 21.97 lakh across the 4.5-year course — and about USD 2,34,000 over five installments for the NRI seat (USD 46,800 per year). The fee is annual, not front-loaded into year one. Hostel, transport and caution deposits are additional (see the hostel FAQ).
What are the hostel and transport fees at VELS?
Per the MBBS prospectus 2025-26: a Non-AC hostel room with food and accommodation is Rs 1,67,750 per year, an AC room with food and accommodation is Rs 2,30,450 per year, and air-conditioned college transport is Rs 82,500 per year. A refundable caution deposit of Rs 25,000 (college) plus Rs 25,000 (hostel) and a one-time application fee of Rs 2,000 also apply. Hostels are on-campus for boys and girls.
Is VELS Medical College NAAC-accredited or NIRF-ranked?
Not as a medical college. The NAAC 'A++' grade and UGC 12B status that appear in VELS marketing belong to the parent VISTAS university, not to VELS Medical College & Hospital. The medical college — established in 2018 with its first MBBS batch from 2021-22 — is too new to hold its own NAAC grade or a NIRF Medical rank, and none is claimed here. What is officially accredited is the attached hospital (NABH) and the central laboratory (NABL), with ISO 9001:2015 certification.
