What happens inside the counselling hall for admission to an MBBS course at The Tamil Nadu MGR Medical University?

The counselling usually takes place at Govt. Omandurar Medical College, but there have been plans of making it online. Here's how counselling usually takes place: You will be given a tentative time slot for your rank. For example, if you come under state rank 1–500, your time slot will be from 9 AM to 11 AM, and so on. You will wait in the tent until your time slot. Screens inside the tent display the number of seats available in each college and the students who have been alloted to each college. When your time slot comes, you will be given an ID card and will be allowed to take 1 parent inside. Once inside, there will be an IOB (Indian Overseas Bank) to take a DD to pay for counselling fees. You continue to wait until they call out your rank. Usually they call 10–20 ranks at a time. Once inside the counselling hall, you will be given a form to fill the basic details (name, contact, etc). The parents are seated separately. You must carry your folder containing all documents. For document verification you will be called to a table where government officers sit and scrutinize every single document. Once you submit the copies of the original documents, show the originals and answer their questions, you will be stamped clear for college selection. After all this, you will be directed to a person who will lock your college when the time comes. You tell them what college you choose and when your rank comes they lock your college. But counselling does not end here. For post counselling formalities, you will be given a receipt. You have to go to another room where they stamp that receipt. You have to pay the fees in the counselling hall itself. Again you go to the IOB counter, get a DD for the fees specified and produce the DD at another counter, where they give you an admit card. You have to report at your college within 3 days. If you are from a CBSE or ICSE school, you have to get an eligibility certificate from MGR Medical University showing your admit card there. To avoid the crowd reach as early as possible.

Life as an undergrad in Sree mookambika medical college

Dislikes

The course fee is high, making it difficult for everyone to afford. The placement opportunities after completing the course depends on your NEET rank. Although you still can work at hospitals with the degree, salary will not be high.

Fees and Financial Aid:

The course fee varies depending on the seat allotment. The fees for various categories are as follows: Government- 6 lpa Management - 20lpa NRI- 30 lpa This is not fixed and increases with every batch. This includes the tution fee, hostel, book fee, caution fee, registration,admission,development and lab fee. For malayalam speaking minority fee fee concession of 2lpa is available. For SC/ST community also fee concession is available depending on whether they are first generation doctors in their family. The hostel are comulsory and is included in this. It is about 1lpa.

Tagore Medical College from my POV

Fee structure varies with each quota like the government quota , management quota and NRI quota. I got admission under the government quota. So my yearly fee structure is as follows: 1. Tuition fee - 450000 2. Hostel fee - 250000 3. Books and development fee - 100000 Hostel fee include the mess fee Books include every year's subject books both theory and practical along with notebooks and records I am a hosteller, but if you choose to be a dayscholar the fee for transportation is ?160000. I finished my schooling from a private school in chennai, but for students who have done their higher secondary from a government school there is a 7.5 reservation quota and students selected via this quota get a considerable reduction in their fee. Another reservation is for students who are going to be the first graduate from the family. They can also avail a great reduction in fee. They get a scholarship of ?150000.

Madras Medical College - Review

Continous tests makes us uninterested in the subject.

College fees was about 20,000 and hostel fees at the start was 30,000 and monthly mess fees would be around 3000. Scholarship was based on all India quota also I guess. And books and others round upto 6000 each person.
