Eligibility & Admission Process

Eligibility

To apply for MBBS at GMC Krishnagiri, candidates typically must:

• Complete 10+2 (or equivalent) with Physics, Chemistry, Biology / Biotechnology, and English

• Secure minimum percentage (general category ~50%, reserved ~40%) in aggregate of PCB (or as per state / NMC rules) 

• Be at least 17 years of age by December 31 of the admission year 

• Qualify in NEET-UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) 

Admission & Counselling

• Admission to the MBBS program is based on NEET-UG score, and then seat allotment via Tamil Nadu state counselling (State Quota) and AIQ (All India Quota) where applicable.

• The typical quota split is 15% All India Quota (AIQ) and 85% State Quota (for Tamil Nadu) for MBBS seats, as per standard Tamil Nadu / national rules 

• Rounds of counselling (Round 1, Round 2, etc.) with closing ranks published for each category. 

Fee Structure & Bond / Stipend Conditions

Fee Structure (MBBS)

Based on available sources, approximate fee structure is:

Note: Some sources mention the fee could vary by category (e.g. for SC/ST) or may be revised. 

Bond / Penalty / Stipend

• The college imposes a bond / penalty clause: if a student does not complete the required service / bond obligations, a penalty of 5,00,000 (INR) is cited in some documents. 

• The stipend (during internship or service / bond period) is cited as 25,000 (INR) per month in some sources. 

These figures may be provisional and subject to official rules or government orders.

Cutoffs and Rank Trends

Because GMC Krishnagiri is relatively new, cutoff trends show some fluctuation. Here’s what is known:

Recent Years’ Cutoffs (NEET UG / AIQ / State Quota)

• For 2025: Round 2 closing rank for MBBS (General, AIQ) was ~ 17,900 

• In 2024: Closing rank was ~ 16,061 (General, AIQ) 

• In 2023: Closing rank was ~ 19,771 (General, AIQ) 

• For OBC (AIQ) in 2025, closing rank ~ 19,057 

These are indicative of rising competition and varying pressures. The cutoff also depends heavily on category (SC/ST/OBC), quota (state vs all-India), and number of candidates.

For state (Tamil Nadu) quota, the cutoffs will differ, often lower for state residents than AIQ.

Caveats: These ranks reflect NEET counselling rounds, not guaranteed to reflect final allotment in all categories. Also, being a newer institution, cutoffs may stabilize over time.

Placements / Career Prospects

Because medical education is linked to clinical training and postgraduate opportunities, “placements” in the traditional engineering/IT sense are less relevant. However, the prospects for an MBBS graduate from GMC Krishnagiri are:

• After MBBS and internship, candidates can appear for PG medical entrance (e.g. NEET PG) to specialize.

• Those entering the bond / service obligation may be posted to rural / government health services in Tamil Nadu or elsewhere per bond rules.

• If DNB or diploma courses are offered (e.g. Emergency Medicine, DMLT), students may have direct progression paths into those.

• The affiliated teaching hospital gives exposure to patient care, which helps in clinical competence.

Given the institution is new, there is limited data on “placed graduates” (in the sense of jobs), but the clinical training environment and government connection increase the likelihood of absorption into government service or further medical education.

Strengths, Challenges & Ranking

Strengths

• As a government medical college, the cost of medical education is relatively low, making it accessible.

• Association with a teaching hospital ensures clinical exposure.

• Since it is new, infrastructure might be more modern / better planned.

• Affiliation with Dr. M.G.R. Medical University provides academic standard alignment.

• Room for growth: more courses, specialties, research could be added in future.

Challenges

• As a young institution, faculty experience and alumni network are limited.

• Limited historical data on outcomes, research output, or reputation.

• Cutoffs may shift widely year to year until the institution stabilizes in demand.

• Placements or absorption into PG / specialty fields partly depend on state policies and hospital reputation.

Ranking

In some sources:

• All India ranking (approx.) ~ 335 (or similar) 

• Tamil Nadu state ranking ~ 31 (by some listings) 

These rankings are approximate and based on comparators among medical colleges; as the institution matures, its ranking may evolve.
