Medical Colleges in Chennai 2026 — MBBS Fees, Quotas & Seats
21 medical colleges in and around Chennai admit MBBS through NEET-UG — Tamil Nadu's deepest cluster of seats. The deemed-to-be universities (Saveetha, Sri Ramachandra, SRM, Chettinad, Bharath, Dr MGR, MAHER and VISTAS) run MCC deemed counselling at their own fee; the self-financing colleges admit through the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee. Campuses across the metro belt (Kattankulathur, Chengalpattu, Kanchipuram, Tiruvallur, Thiruvallur, Maduranthagam, Melmaruvathur, Kancheepuram) are included and labelled.
The headline MBBS year-1 fee — the management/NRI tier at a self-financing college, or the institution fee at a deemed university — ranges from ₹15 L to ₹28 L across the colleges below, with government-quota seats at self-financing colleges notified far lower. Every figure links back to a sourced college page — nothing here is an estimate.
Chennai's government medical colleges — Madras Medical College, Stanley and Kilpauk — admit through the same Selection Committee's government counselling and are out of scope here. This page covers the private and deemed colleges we have sourced pages for.
