This page breaks down the current courses, eligibility requirements, entry routes, and listed fee components to help applicants evaluate programme fit and financial commitment.
Choosing the right undergraduate programme at CMC Vellore requires balancing your academic background against specific entry routes and location preferences. The following matrix compares the core medical and nursing programmes for the 2026-2027 academic year.
Note: First-year fees consolidate tuition, annual charges, one-time college admission fees, and university payments. Hostel deposits and mess charges are additional.
The MBBS programme at CMC Vellore spans four and a half years, followed by a one-year compulsory rotating medical internship.
CMC Vellore admits 100 students annually to its MBBS programme. Seats are divided equally between Management and Government quotas:
The total listed fee for the first year of the MBBS programme is ₹84,330, which breaks down as follows:

CMC Vellore offers its B.Sc Nursing degree across two distinct campuses, each with its own entry route and fee structure. Both programmes require four years of academic study followed by one year of training as a junior staff nurse.

Affiliated with Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences in Andhra Pradesh, this programme requires candidates to appear for the national NEET UG examination.
A defining feature of studying at CMC Vellore is the commitment to medical service. Candidates admitted to the MBBS and B.Sc Nursing degree programmes must undertake a mandatory service obligation to work in an area of need for a minimum period of two years after completing their training.
This obligation applies to both Open and Minority Network category students, with the latter serving in affiliated mission hospitals or network organisations. Service obligations must be discharged through actual service and cannot be resolved through financial compensation.
Residing in the hostel is mandatory for students pursuing the MBBS and B.Sc Nursing courses.
CMC Vellore's heavily subsidized tuition is designed to ensure that the cost of education is not a barrier to deserving students. While the scope for external scholarships is naturally limited by these low baseline fees, the institution provides robust internal financial aid.
Need-based scholarships are available for all undergraduate courses. These awards are granted according to the economic status of the student's family and can cover all or part of the tuition fees and accommodation costs, ensuring that candidates from rural and underprivileged backgrounds can complete their training without financial preoccupations.
