MBBS in Tamil Nadu now costs up to Rs 1.8 crore in Private Medical Colleges

MBBS education is getting costlier in Tamil Nadu as the private medical colleges are charging up to Rs 1.8 crore for the UG course.

Previously, the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DMER), Tamil Nadu, released the revised fee structure at the self-financing medical colleges in the State for the academic year 2024-2025. Medical Dialogues reported that, as per the revised fee structure released by the TN Directorate of Medical Education, the MBBS fees for the management quota seats at the self-financing medical colleges were raised by Rs 1.5 lakh, making it Rs 15 lakh per year. DME had also increased the fees for the NRI quota seats by Rs 2.5 lakh. Therefore, the NRI quota fees for the academic year 2025 have been fixed at Rs 27 lakh per annum.

Therefore, for the MBBS course with a duration of almost 5 years, the total fees for the management quota seats will be Rs 75 lakh and the fee will be Rs 1.4 crore for the NRI quota seats.
