Overview

Scholarships that apply here

Tamil Nadu's Post-Matric scholarship (SC/ST/OBC) covers tuition for eligible incomes — at a private college it offsets a slice of a larger fee. Central Sector adds ₹12,000 a year for board toppers in the income band.

Re-apply every year, not once. Full working-out in Paying for it.

Permitted means running on annual permission — not yet fully recognised. Check the latest year's renewal before you count on a seat.

Before you rank it

• →Category certificates differ by route: central OBC-NCL format for MCC's AIQ, the state's own format for state counselling. One certificate rarely serves both.
• →Reporting is in person with originals — no proxy. Keep a signed receipt for every document handed over.

What the numbers can't tell you — ask a senior

Five questions worth one phone call before this college goes high on your list. Current students answer these honestly; brochures don't.

• ?Hostel reality — rooms per student, mess quality, and whether first-years actually get a seat or hunt for PGs.
• ?Patient load — clinical exposure is the education. A packed OPD teaches more than a famous name with an empty ward.
• ?Internship stipend — the sanctioned amount and whether it is actually paid on time. Amounts differ by state and college type.
• ?Faculty presence — vacancies in key departments show up in NMC inspection reports and in seniors' complaints long before rankings move.
