Before you rank it
- The state-quota seat needs Tamil Nadu domicile — the certificate format the state accepts. Check yours in the eligibility checker.
- 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.
- This seat can carry a service bond — read it as part of the price, not fine print.
- 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 — this college reported to NMC that it pays no UG intern stipend (NMC disclosure, Dec 2025–Jan 2026 — internet-sourced). Ask why before ranking it high.
- Bond enforcement — is the service bond genuinely enforced here, and how are postings allotted? Seniors know the practice, not just the order.
- Faculty presence — vacancies in key departments show up in NMC inspection reports and in seniors' complaints long before rankings move.
