About Government Erode Medical College
The Perundurai institution formerly known as IRT Perundurai Medical College is now Government Erode Medical College and Hospital. Its official mission retains a focus on transport workers, their families and the surrounding rural population.
Government Erode Medical College is a government institution in Perundurai, Erode, Tamil Nadu. MBBS admission uses NEET-UG and the applicable counselling process. Diploma and technician training have separate admission arrangements and should be considered by their exact qualification names.
MBBS and other academic routes
The institutional postgraduate course page lists General Surgery (4), DVL (2) and Emergency Medicine (3); the page uses specialty labels rather than full degree titles. These are undated website figures; current annual NMC permission and counselling availability are not independently confirmed here. The same page lists laboratory, radiodiagnosis, optometry, dialysis, anaesthesia, theatre, emergency-care, nutrition, ECG, multipurpose health-worker and respiratory-therapy training. Its malformed seats column repeats durations, so no paramedical seat count is inferred from it.

Admission and seat allocation
For Government Erode Medical College, the June 2026–27 Tamil Nadu prospectus records 100 MBBS seats: 15 in the all-India pool, 55 in the state pool shown in the appendix, and 30 in the separate ward pool.
30 seats for eligible wards under the State Transport Corporation / IRT corpus-fund provision.
These allocations are a dated prospectus reference, not a live vacancy count or a guarantee that every seat is available in a particular counselling round.
NEET-UG, counselling registration, allotment and institutional reporting are separate steps. The course enquiry on MedCollege is a guidance request; it is not a seat application. This profile’s government-MBBS figures should not be applied automatically to the separately listed technician, diploma, nursing or postgraduate routes.
Fees and affordability
| Fee head | Published amount |
|---|---|
| Tuition | ₹6,000 |
| Special fee, including medical examination | ₹2,000 |
| Caution deposit | ₹1,000 |
| Library | ₹1,000 |
| University | ₹7,473 |
| LIC group insurance | ₹300 |
| Red Cross | ₹100 |
| Miscellaneous | ₹100 |
| Flag Day | ₹100 |
| Published total | ₹18,073 |
₹6,000 is tuition; ₹18,073 is the total of the listed heads. The table includes a caution deposit and university-related charges. Hostel, mess and personal expenses are separate. This is the state prospectus schedule, not a newly verified college joining invoice, and it should not be multiplied unchanged over the full course. Applicable exemptions or concessions may change the amount payable.
Campus and hospital setting
The citizen charter describes a 600-bed hospital with medicine, tuberculosis/chest care, dermatology, psychiatry, paediatrics, surgery, orthopaedics, ENT and ophthalmology. This is an undated institutional service description, not a current occupied-bed census. The library page is headed 22 February 2016 and does not supply usable current collection figures.
The citizen charter allocates 120 beds each to medicine, chest/TB care and general surgery; 60 each to paediatrics and orthopaedics; 20 each to ENT and ophthalmology; and 10 each to dermatology and psychiatry. The listed departmental figures sum to 540 although the charter prints a 600-bed total. That internal discrepancy is unresolved. These historical service figures are not a current census or a guarantee of individual student exposure.
Hostel and daily life
A current college-specific hostel tariff, room inventory and mess rate were not verified in the reviewed Erode documents. Hostel payment is therefore not included in the published MBBS schedule below.
Accommodation details belong to the specific qualification and batch. A published hostel description and a confirmed available room are different things. Hostel and mess are not included in the government MBBS tuition figure. No unverified annual residential bill is added to the academic total.
Teaching and programme scope
The official site has a teaching-staff directory. A current sanctioned-versus-filled faculty reconciliation and student–teacher ratio were not verified. The college website and its course footer show different institutional email contacts; the footer address is reproduced here without treating it as the only valid contact.
The programme catalogue records named qualifications; it does not measure the size of the teaching faculty. Likewise, a department in the teaching hospital does not automatically establish permission for a postgraduate intake in that specialty.
Admission ranks and outcomes
The available 2026 provisional government-quota allotment evidence records Tamil Nadu general ranks and candidate community. It is not presented here as a certified final allotted-seat-category closing table. No current final category-wise numerical cutoff is invented for Government Erode Medical College.
The teaching hospital is a learning setting, not a campus-recruitment statistic. No graduate salary, placement percentage, university pass rate or alumni endorsement is inferred from the existence of its clinical services.

What the named training routes mean
The descriptions below explain the training titles. They are educational context, not claims that every route is currently admitting a batch or that every graduate receives a particular job.
Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology
Laboratory training concerns the preparation, handling and examination of diagnostic material. It is a different qualification from MBBS. The training title does not confer a medical degree, independent prescribing rights or automatic entry to a postgraduate medical course.
Diploma in Radio Diagnosis Technology
Radiodiagnosis training concerns the technical work associated with medical imaging. The listed diploma is distinct from a postgraduate medical qualification in radiology. The district or college training reference does not itself establish the current application dates, eligibility or permission for a new intake.
Diploma in Optometry
Optometry concerns the study and assessment of vision in its own professional and qualification framework. A diploma entry is distinct from an MBBS or MS Ophthalmology seat. The institutional listing does not independently establish a current application window or programme-wise admission capacity.
Dialysis Technician
Dialysis technician training concerns support for dialysis services, including the technical environment in which treatment is delivered. It is distinct from a postgraduate medical specialty. Published training places do not establish a present vacancy, a professional registration category or an employment offer.
Anaesthesia Technician
Anaesthesia technician training concerns technical support around anaesthesia services and associated equipment. It is not equivalent to a postgraduate medical degree in anaesthesiology. Inclusion in an institutional training sheet does not establish the current duty scope or guarantee a hospital appointment.
Theatre Technician
Theatre and operation-theatre training supports the organised work of the operating suite. It is an allied-health or technical pathway, rather than the MS General Surgery degree. Its admission notice and practical-training requirements should be read separately from undergraduate medical counselling.
Emergency Care Technician
Emergency-care technician training concerns support work in urgent-care settings. It should not be confused with MD Emergency Medicine, which is a postgraduate medical qualification. The exact award matters when comparing the institution’s technical catalogue with its medical degree offerings.
Clinical Therapeutic Nutrition and Food Service Management
The nutrition and food-service course is a distinct allied-health training entry. It should not be substituted for a medical postgraduate degree or presented as a guaranteed hospital job. Its exact title and admission notice are needed to interpret eligibility and duration.
ECG / Treadmill Technician
ECG and treadmill technician training concerns technical support for cardiac diagnostic testing. It is not a postgraduate cardiology degree. The institution’s catalogue is evidence of the named training route, rather than an independently checked annual vacancy list.
Multipurpose Hospital Worker
Multipurpose health or hospital-worker training is a support pathway with its own institutional admission arrangements. It is separate from the MBBS counselling pool. An undated training count should not be converted into a medical-seat total or treated as an employment guarantee.
Respiratory Therapy Technician
Respiratory-therapy training is a named technical or allied-health pathway associated with respiratory-care services. It must not be counted as MD Respiratory Medicine. The course listing does not establish current fees, professional entitlements or an individual student’s clinical procedure count.
