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 S3 WaaS 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).

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. 2021), which makes VMCH one of Tamil Nadu's newest deemed-university medical colleges. 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. 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 (VMCH) FAQs
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 off-counselling admission.
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'.
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. What is officially accredited is the attached hospital (NABH) and the central laboratory (NABL), with ISO 9001:2015 certification.
Is VELS Medical College safe — are there anti-ragging and women's-safety committees?
Under Indian law and NMC norms, all medical colleges are required to have an Anti-Ragging Committee and Squad (per UGC/NMC anti-ragging regulations and the Supreme Court's anti-ragging directions) and an Internal Complaints Committee (ICC) for women's safety under the POSH Act, 2013. These are mandatory for any NMC-permitted college. No separate committee-specific page could be verified on the VELS website at author time; check the college directly or use the national anti-ragging helpline at antiragging.in for any concerns.
What is VELS Medical College & Hospital known for?
Being one of Tamil Nadu's newest deemed-university medical colleges — established in 2018 under the VELS/VISTAS group with its first MBBS batch from 2021-22 — built around a large NABH-accredited teaching hospital (935 beds in the MBBS prospectus, 1,030 in the PG prospectus) with 11 major and 7 minor operation theatres and over 2,000 outpatients a day, on a campus at Manjankaranai, Tiruvallur (51 acres per the MBBS prospectus / 40 acres per the college website). It is fully MCC (DGHS)-counselled on NEET merit and carries the group's 'Affordable Health care for all' motto. As an LOP-stage college, as of June 2026 the first MBBS batch (2021-22) is completing the 4.5-year course; intermediate exam results for the cohort (including Third Year MBBS Part II, May 2026) are published by the college. University-aggregated MBBS pass percentage and intern stipend data specific to VMCH are not yet available and are not claimed.
Is VELS Medical College the same as VELS University (VISTAS)?
They share the VELS/VISTAS parent group but are different things. VELS Medical College & Hospital (VMCH) is the NEET-only MBBS/MD-MS medical college unit of VISTAS at Manjankaranai, Tiruvallur, admitting solely through MCC on NEET. The wider VELS/VISTAS university also runs arts, science, pharmacy, law, dental, nursing and other professional programmes — those use their own separate admission routes and have nothing to do with this MBBS page. There is no non-NEET or other-stream route into the medical college; MBBS admission is solely on NEET via MCC.
