Affiliated with The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University and fully recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), the college has a rich history of academic excellence and is attached to the large Government Rajaji Hospital for extensive clinical training. While the official NIRF rankings for 2025 are yet to be announced, MMC is expected to maintain its strong position among the top 40 medical colleges in India, reflecting its high standards. The college's flagship program is the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS), along with a broad spectrum of postgraduate (MD/MS) and super-speciality courses. Admission is highly competitive, based entirely on NEET-UG and NEET-PG scores, with seat allocation managed through Tamil Nadu's DME counselling. For the 2025 academic session, the annual tuition fee for the MBBS course under the government quota is projected to be approximately INR 13,610, making it an incredibly affordable option for quality medical education. Following the academic curriculum, graduates undertake a compulsory one-year rotatory internship. For the batch completing their internship in 2025, the monthly stipend is expected to be around INR 26,000. Post-graduation prospects for the 2025-2026 period remain excellent; while many graduates pursue higher studies, those entering the workforce can anticipate starting salary packages between INR 8 LPA and INR 12 LPA in reputed hospitals.
