Tamil Nadu NRI quota: seats and fee

Government medical colleges in Tamil Nadu do not publish an NRI row. The NRI door is private, and it splits. Self-financing campuses go through the DME Selection Committee. Deemed campuses go through MCC.

Last published government seats sat around 5,225. Last published private seats sat around 5,500. Named NRI totals on the last map ran from about ₹24.5 lakh to about ₹2.08 crore for the full course. Confirm the live notice. Do not treat those as a 2027 brochure.

Eight Tamil Nadu names from the last NIRF list

Names and cities only. The blog table pasted total intake into the NRI column. Do not treat those seat counts as NRI. A US house does not move a student up this list. Status rules sit on the NRI eligibility page.

The last published state tally. NRI sits on one side.

These are last-cycle planning numbers. The live DME matrix and the live MCC deemed matrix name the 2027 counts.

~5,225 Government seats

About 38 to 39 campuses on the last map. AIQ or state merit only. No NRI column.


~5,500 Private seats

About 32 campuses. This is where an NRI, OCI or sponsor file can actually be used.

Two NRI portals. Pick the one that owns the campus.

Families mix these two logins. PSG is DME. CMC, SRIHER, SRM and Saveetha are MCC deemed. TestprepKart checks the portal before the choice list. The national fee map sits on the NRI college fees page.

DME Selection Committee

Self-financing private colleges. NRI on the Tamil Nadu option list. Deadlines are IST. Do not add these names on MCC deemed.

mcc.nic.in

MCC deemed

Deemed universities in Tamil Nadu. Dollar or crore totals, college demand, MCC rounds. Do not look for PSG here.

After the two portals, the file

Use it for papers beside this Tamil Nadu page. It is not the live DME matrix or the MCC deemed notice.

Two clips that sit with this state map

Government names and private names. Neither clip replaces the live counselling notice.

Government campuses. Useful for names. Not an NRI allotment list.
Private campuses. Split DME from MCC before you shortlist.

Government campuses. Cheap, and closed to NRI.

No NRI column on the government side

Last published government tuition sat around ₹13,000 to ₹26,000 a year in most named colleges, and about ₹1.26 lakh at ESI. Madras, Stanley, Madurai and Coimbatore Medical College sit here. AIIMS Madurai is not an NRI pool. Do not add these names to a Category C or NRI option list.

Private NRI, split by the portal that allots it

Last published named totals. Self-financing fees below are last named bands or, for PSG, the last notified yearly tuition. Deemed figures are last named full-course totals. Confirm the live demand before you wire.

Five folders Tamil Nadu usually asks for

DME and MCC do not want the same upload order. Build the NRI file before registration week.

NEET and counselling

Admit card, scorecard, the printed application, and the allotment letter when it comes.

Academic

Class 10 for date of birth, Class 12 mark sheet and pass certificate, migration if the board is not Tamil Nadu.

Identity

Student passport, photos, character certificate, medical fitness. Aadhaar only if the portal still asks.

Category, if used

Caste, EWS or PwD papers. Tamil Nadu nativity only if you are actually claiming a state-quota rule.

NRI or OCI file

Sponsor passport and visa, embassy or consulate NRI certificate, relationship proof, sponsorship affidavit.

DME steps for a self-financing NRI row

Portal: tnmedicalselection.net. Age for the 2027 planning year is 17 by 31 Dec 2027. If the campus is deemed, skip this list and use MCC instead.

  1. 1 Qualify NEET-UG for the 2027 admission year.
  2. 2 Register on the DME / Selection Committee portal. Deadlines are IST.
  3. 3 Upload the NRI or sponsor file the prospectus names.
  4. 4 Wait for the Tamil Nadu merit list. Only listed candidates fill choices.
  5. 5 Put self-financing NRI colleges the family can actually pay. Leave government names off that NRI list.
  6. 6 Download the allotment, pay the approved way, and report with originals.

Deemed names use MCC rounds, MCC documents and the college demand. A DME login will not allot CMC or SRIHER.

Who can sit where in Tamil Nadu

NEET is required on both sides. The NRI file is required only on the private NRI row.
