MD and MS
Use NEET-PG and the applicable postgraduate counselling prospectus. Eligibility, specialty permissions and the round-wise seat matrix are programme-specific.

Karakonam: the college and its mission-hospital history
The medical college dates to 2002, while the attached mission hospital traces its history to 1894. The institution is at Karakonam in the southern part of Thiruvananthapuram district and is run by the CSI South Kerala Diocese through its medical mission. The college’s historical description and its newer admission documents serve different purposes: the former describes the institution; the latter governs a particular entering batch.
Institutional description reviewed 14 October 2026. Facility figures describe the source’s scope, not current occupancy.
What to assess in the learning environment
For Dr. Somervell CSI Medical College, compare the teaching arrangements relevant to your intended course. For MBBS, ask about the foundation course, dissection and laboratory sessions, early clinical exposure, skills practice and supervised postings. For MD/MS, focus on the specific department, case mix, duty rota, dissertation support and assessment schedule.
During a visit, consider the distance between teaching rooms, wards, hostel and library. Ask how attendance, examinations, practical competencies and student support are organised. Hospital size alone does not quantify the experience of an individual student; course stage, department and supervision affect clinical responsibilities.
Fees and admission context
The Kerala CEE code is SMC. The 2026 Phase 2 State Merit reference is 6,414 on the Kerala state-list rank scale. It is not NEET All India Rank. The fee evidence below is labelled 2025–26 historical; use the same quota and payment scope when comparing colleges.
The 2025–26 General (85%) and NRI (15%) tuition references are ₹8,56,840 and ₹22,74,006. The current admission slip requests payment details but does not supply a new itemised fee schedule. Keep the historical comparison separate from the amount authorised on an individual allotment memo.
See itemised fees →Accommodation and student support
Plan accommodation as a separate decision from admission. Confirm availability, allotment rules, occupancy arrangements, mess participation, transport and deposits before relocating. Ask about access to mentoring, academic support, anti-ragging reporting and healthcare for students. A facility described by an institution does not establish an automatic entitlement to a room or a particular service package.
Keep academic certificates, category evidence, allotment papers and fee receipts organised. Families should distinguish authorised college collections from personal living costs and should reconcile counselling payments against the joining demand.
Dr. Somervell CSI Medical College FAQs
What is the Kerala counselling code for Dr. Somervell CSI Medical College?
The MBBS last-rank documents use SMC. Match the college name, course, year, quota and phase when reviewing an allotment.
How many entries are in this programme catalogue?
There are 16 referenced entries. This is a catalogue count, not a current vacancy count. Individual cards preserve their source and intake scope.
What year does the fee evidence describe?
2025–26 historical. The 2025–26 General (85%) and NRI (15%) tuition references are ₹8,56,840 and ₹22,74,006. The current admission slip requests payment details but does not supply a new itemised fee schedule. Keep the historical comparison separate from the amount authorised on an individual allotment memo.
Can the published state rank be compared directly with NEET AIR?
No. The displayed CEE tables use the Kerala state-list rank scale. MCC All India Rank data needs a separate table with its own round and category.
Does a hospital department prove that a PG course is offered?
No. A service directory and an approved degree catalogue are different records. The course list uses named programme evidence and does not turn every hospital specialty into an admission option.

Frequently asked questions
Where is Dr. Somervell CSI Medical College?
Dr. Somervel Memorial CSI Hospital & Medical College, Karakonam, Thiruvananthapuram is recorded in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala. Match the exact campus and college code SMC when reading counselling tables.
What is the MBBS admission route?
NEET-UG → Kerala CEE. Entrance qualification, counselling registration, seat allotment and reporting are separate stages.
How long is MBBS?
4½ academic years + 1-year internship. The internship is supervised training; it should not be described as a guaranteed permanent job.
How many MBBS seats are referenced?
200 in the dated profile reference. NMC 2026–27 MBBS matrix as on 18 September 2026; KL/007/P/3; published total, subject to revision; not round-wise vacancies
Which other programmes are listed?
MBBS: 1 named entry, MD: 10 named entries, MS: 5 named entries. These catalogue counts do not establish current sanctioned seats or open admissions.
Which fee year does this page use?
2025–26 historical. Preserve the category, currency and payment period attached to each row; obtain a revised notice for any later batch.
Does the fee table cover hostel and mess?
Only charges explicitly named in the fee evidence have that scope. Tuition, deposits, hostel, mess and incidental expenses must be checked separately. Do not multiply a joining total into a full-course fee.
Are the cutoff figures NEET All India Ranks?
The Kerala CEE tables use the rank scale stated in their source. Kerala state-list ranks cannot be read as NEET All India Ranks. Compare the same college, category, year and phase.
Can I apply directly to the college for an MBBS seat?
Use the officially applicable counselling route: NEET-UG → Kerala CEE. An enquiry to MedCollege is a request for guidance and does not register a counselling choice or reserve a seat.
Are all programme catalogue entries open this year?
No. A named institutional programme is different from a current seat in a counselling matrix. Check permission, affiliation, intake and the session-specific admission notice for your exact programme.
Are scholarships guaranteed?
Eligibility, documentary requirements, approval and disbursement depend on the individual scheme. A fee-concession row does not prove that every applicant can claim a scholarship.
Can I rely on a hospital doctor list as the teaching faculty list?
A hospital consultant directory and an academic faculty roster have different scopes. Use the medical college department list, academic designation and dated disclosure.
Does the profile promise a salary or placement?
No salary or placement rate is inferred from hospital activity, internship or programme intake. Cohort-based outcome evidence must state the qualification, graduating year and metric.
How should I check accommodation?
Ask Dr. Somervell CSI Medical College for the current hostel allocation rules, room availability, mess arrangements, deposits and refund conditions. A historic capacity figure does not guarantee a room.
Who receives the enquiry form?
The form on this page is the existing MedCollege enquiry form. It is separate from the official college, examination and counselling portals.
Which documents should I prepare?
Keep identity, qualifying-examination certificates, entrance result, allotment letter and the category or quota evidence required in your reporting notice. PG applicants also need the applicable medical degree, internship and registration records.
Can a historical photograph establish current facilities?
No. The caption identifies any available date and provenance. Images give a visual reference; current facilities and access need confirmation from the institution.
How can I compare Dr. Somervell CSI Medical College with another college?
Use the same qualification, academic year, category and fee period. Compare the teaching setting, total payable costs, reporting route and dated source evidence rather than a single headline number.
Where can I confirm revised notices?
Use the official institutional resource and applicable CEE or MCC portal listed in Sources. Older profile evidence remains historical until a later document is checked.
Why are some details awaiting verification?
A college-specific source has not yet established the detail at the required scope. The page identifies those gaps so that missing data is not presented as zero or replaced with an invented figure.
Sources and information dates
The tables and college-specific descriptions retain the source periods recorded in the supplied college profile. Dated historical information is not a confirmation of current capacity, vacancies, charges or personnel. Official-page observations added in this revision are identified separately.
