Admission to the college is based on the NEET entrance exam, with selection depending solely on NEET percentile marks. The faculty, equipped with MBBS and MD/MS qualifications, provides quality education despite a challenging 1:250 faculty-student ratio, improved by smaller group lectures with a 1:50 ratio for better interaction. Instruction is predominantly in Tamil, posing a language barrier for non-Tamil speakers. The fee structure is high, exceeding 20 lakhs INR annually, with additional costs for internships, hostels, and transport over the 4.5-year MBBS course.
The total fee amounts to approximately 1.25 crore INR over five years, with NRI students paying 35 lakh INR annually plus hostel fees. Scholarships based on NEET performance are available, alongside funding opportunities from the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for research. A mandatory one-year internship in the final year offers a 8,000 to 10,000 INR monthly stipend, although this is lower than other colleges. Post-graduation employment is not guaranteed, and pursuing further studies requires clearing the PG NEET exam.
The college lacks its own scholarships or loan facilities, but students often secure educational loans from banks.
