The first student who got admission with a distinction to the college is V. Jayadarshini from Cumbum.

Hindu reports that after scoring 275 marks in NEET, she got admission as a student of a government school under the 7.5% quota for MBBS admissions and chose to study at the newly-inaugurated VGMC. The VGMC received permission from the National Medical Commission to admit around 150 students to the MBBS course.

Dean J. Sangumani on Monday handed over the admission letter to Jayadarshini.

It was a strange coincidence that Jayadarshini's father, Venkatesh, happens to be a student of the Dean's father Jeyaraman, who was a teacher at MPM High School in Cumbum.
