How much stipend does in fellowship in CMC Vellore?
fellowship stipend at CMC Vellore (Christian Medical College) varies by the specialty and type of fellowship:
- clinical fellowships (DM/MCh/fellowship programs): stipend typically ranges from Rs.40,000–65,000/month depending on year and specialty. surgical super-specialties tend to be slightly higher
- senior residents doing fellowship-level training: around Rs.55,000–80,000/month at CMC including all allowances
- observership/short-term fellowships: usually no stipend — you pay a fee instead. CMC charges observership fees for international fellows
important caveat — CMC Vellore revises its stipend structure periodically and it's not always publicly posted. the numbers above reflect recent alumni reports and may vary by program year. the best way to confirm is to contact CMC Vellore's fellowship office or check with current fellows in your specialty.
CMC Vellore's fellowship reputation is very strong even if the stipend is not the highest — the training quality and brand for a future career in medicine (especially academic/teaching hospital careers or mission hospitals) is hard to beat. many fellows choose CMC specifically for the training rather than the stipend.

- The room has 2 beds, 1 bucket, 1 mug, 1 fan, 1 mirror, an attached washroom and a geyser.
- The Problem: Accommodation is not free of cost. The accommodations are not within the campus.
Study Material and Software: The fellows get access to study material and software, but on a paid basis. For this, they are charged INR 900 monthly, and this amount is deducted from their stipend.

These are the perks (and disadvantages) of joining CMC Vellore for fellowship. I would recommend you compare the conditions with other premium medical institutions before choosing CMC Vellore for your fellowship.
