Selected candidates must report at the time and place specified to register for the respective courses. Failure to complete registration formalities will lead to cancellation of selection and registration of waitlisted candidates instead.
f. Waiting list
Two waiting lists will be maintained for each of the courses – Open and Minority Network. If a candidate withdraws from a course, the next candidate on the respective waiting list will fill that seat. However, if there are no more candidates on that particular waiting list, the next candidate from the other list will be invited to join.
II. Withdrawal from any course
Students registered and admitted to a course, desirous of obtaining their original documents from the Principal / Dean for the purpose of attending interviews elsewhere, should deposit a sum of Rs.500 as security. Students who fail to inform their decision to continue or withdraw from the course within two weeks will forfeit their seat as well as the security deposit. If, after registration, the student withdraws from a course he/she must pay the full annual fees for the said course. Only deposits will be refunded. However, if after registration, the student is offered admission in another course within this institution in the same academic year, the tuition fees alone may be transferred, on request.
III. Foreign Nationals & residents
All candidates go through the same admission procedure. There is no NRI quota. For candidates who have studied abroad, the equivalency of qualification as determined by the Association of Indian Universities will form the guideline to determine the eligibility. Please note that these are only guidelines and candidates who have qualified overseas must get in touch with the Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University Chennai. Non–Indian nationals applying for all courses other than MBBS, may take the preliminary Computer Based test and attend Step-2. Admission of non-Indian nationals to the MBBS course is subject to the eligibility criteria announced in the Management quota prospectus of the Tamil Nadu Selection committee, Directorate of Medical Education. Non–Indian nationals applying for MBBS will have to obtain a minimum of marks at 50th percentile in the Undergraduate NEET 2021 examination. If allotted a seat at CMC, Vellore by the counselling process of the Tamil Nadu Selection committee, it is the responsibility of the candidate to get necessary clearances and certificates within a stipulated time limit.
