Frequently asked questions
These answers distinguish dated seat documents, college disclosures and unresolved questions. Read the linked source and the relevant section for conditions and source periods, especially when comparing fees or admission observations.
Is this a government institution?
Yes. NMC lists Government Thiruvannamalai Medical College, Thiruvannamalai as government-managed in the 2026–27 MBBS matrix.
When did MBBS teaching start?
The college records its first MBBS batch in 2013–14. The hospital’s earlier taluk-hospital and district-hospital history should not be confused with that teaching inception.
Where is the campus?
Outer Ring Road, Vengikkal, Tiruvannamalai, Tamil Nadu 606604 is the college and district-directory address.
Which university is associated with the college?
The Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University, Chennai. Applicants should confirm the current regulation applicable to their exact programme.
How many MBBS seats are listed for 2026–27?
100, under NMC code TN/032/G/1, in the matrix as on 18 September 2026.
What is the published MBBS quota split?
Tamil Nadu’s tentative 2026–27 table gives 15 AIQ and 85 state-quota seats. The current counselling round determines available seats and categories.
Does the college have 30 or 46 PG seats?
The older college page lists 30. NMC’s tentative AY 2025–26 matrix lists 46 across seven specialties. The sources and their years are kept separate.
Which specialties appear in that PG matrix?
Anaesthesiology, General Medicine, Paediatrics, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Otorhinolaryngology and Ophthalmology.
Are the PG seats verified for 2026–27?
The matrix reviewed is explicitly AY 2025–26, as on 30 January 2026. It is not relabelled as a later-year approval or vacancy list.
Are all listed allied-health seats currently open?
The college list is headed as upcoming from 2024–25 onwards. Its eleven entries need current approval and counselling verification before being treated as available seats.
What MBBS fee is supported by the state prospectus?
The general government-college schedule totals ₹18,073, including ₹6,000 tuition. This is not a full college-plus-hostel joining invoice.
Was the college’s 2026–27 fee image read?
No. Its heading was visible in indexed text, but the image could not be inspected during the website outage. No amount is inferred from the heading.
Are there category-specific MBBS payment references?
The state online-payment table lists ₹12,073 for SC/SCA/ST and ₹10,073 for benchmark-disability candidates, subject to the applicable rules and verification.
What PG fee amounts are published?
The college’s 2025–26 notice states ₹71,760 for OC/OBC and ₹31,760 for SC/ST. A full recurring-charge breakdown was not verified.
Can the listed fee be multiplied into a whole-course total?
That would mix recurring charges, deposits and other heads without establishing their treatment. Use itemised demands and the applicable rules for the admitted cohort.
How many MBBS copy sets and photographs are requested?
The indexed college checklist asks for three photocopy sets and four passport photographs. It also requests separate clear PDF scans of applicable documents on CD or pendrive.
Are every board and quota document compulsory for everyone?
No. The checklist distinguishes CBSE/other-board documents and state-quota items. Confirm the certificates applicable to the candidate’s own route and circumstances.
When was the 2026 first-year function announced?
15 September 2026 at 10 AM in the auditorium; the foundation course was announced for 16 September. Round-specific reporting deadlines remain separate.
Is the three-month elderly-care course currently open?
The retrieved notice had a deadline of 5 October 2024. It is historical evidence and should not be used as a current admission invitation.
Is an internship stipend amount verified?
No current college-specific UG or PG stipend order was retrieved. Ask the office for the applicable written rate, effective date and payment conditions.
Does the college guarantee campus placement?
No audited placement rate, salary series or guaranteed recruitment route was verified. Recruitment notices and graduate outcomes are different kinds of information.
Are the published score ranges final cutoffs?
No. They are observed ranges from 79 anonymous destination records in one provisional state list dated 15 September 2026.
Are those ranks NEET All India Ranks?
No. The extraction uses the state-list rank. Candidate community also does not necessarily identify the reservation category of the awarded seat.
Why are PwD and ex-servicemen records separate?
The source gives those records special-selection labels. Combining them with unlabelled records could produce a misleading general score range.
Does 79 allotment records mean six state seats are vacant?
No. A provisional list is not a complete current occupancy or vacancy statement. The current round matrix and joining records would be needed.
How many hospital beds are described?
The undated history page says approximately 500 functional beds. A later critical-care-block announcement is not enough to calculate a revised current total.
What recent cancer-care development is documented?
Radiation Oncology reports the first treatment on its newly commissioned Telecobalt unit on 20 March 2026.
What does the Family Adoption Programme describe?
The department says each student is assigned five families and participates in team visits under a mentor. The description is undated.
Does a specialty service imply an approved PG course?
No. Course approval and seats need their own regulator/counselling evidence. A hospital department may deliver services without a verified degree intake in this profile.
How many faculty entries are reproduced?
141 named primary-table entries from twenty departmental pages, plus four leadership rows. These are not a verified count of unique current employees.
Why is Psychiatry linked to a paediatrics URL?
The visible page heading and table identify Psychiatry on /paediatrics/. The actual Paediatrics page retrieved is /paediatrics-2/.
Who is listed as Dean?
The homepage and leadership page name Dr. W. Edwina Vasantha. The listing is not an independently checked current appointment order; older events name other deans.
Are separate hostels listed?
Yes, both boys’ and girls’ hostels appear in the state directory. Current room availability, charges and allocation terms need confirmation.
Are hostel and mess fees verified?
No current itemised schedule was retrieved. Ask separately about accommodation, deposits, admission charges, mess advance and monthly billing.
Is there a complaints committee?
The college publishes an Internal Complaints Committee order dated 15 April 2025. Confirm current members and the reporting route with the college.
Are academic results available?
Historical departmental percentages are published with varying batch/year labels. No consistent current whole-college pass rate was verified.
Is a current official numerical ranking verified?
No numerical NIRF rank was verified. NMC intake, hospital accreditation claims and event prizes should not be converted into a league-table rank.
Is the college’s NABH claim independently confirmed here?
The history page reports entry-level NABH accreditation, but the current certificate identifier, scope and validity were not verified.
What image is included?
A real entrance photograph credited to Chathirathan / சத்திரத்தான், dated 7 October 2023 and licensed CC BY-SA 4.0. The official crest was not verified.
How should applicants contact the admission office?
The college publishes 04175-233315 for student admission queries between 10 AM and 5 PM. Confirm holiday and current office arrangements before travelling.
Does the MedCollege enquiry form apply to the college?
No. It is an independent guidance channel. Official admission requires the correct counselling process, allotment and college reporting.
Where should scholarship questions go?
Ask the college scholarship/admission office about the specific scheme, required documents, coverage and adjustment of payments. A first-graduate document alone does not establish every benefit.
Planning questions
Does a MedCollege enquiry apply to GMC Thiruvannamalai?
No. It contacts MedCollege for guidance. Counselling registration, choice filling, allotment and college reporting are separate actions.
Are all the displayed course capacities current vacancies?
No. The programme tables keep their stated year or undated catalogue scope. The number available in a particular round comes from that round’s vacancy record.
Is an academic fee the full cost of study?
No. Hostel, mess, travel, instruments and personal expenses should be budgeted separately unless a dated schedule explicitly includes them.
How should I compare a cutoff for this college?
Match the qualification, quota, category, round, year and rank system. State general rank and NEET All India Rank cannot be substituted for each other.
Evidence context: existing college material reviewed 24 September 2026. Added institutional context reviewed 15 October 2026. Individual tables retain their own source years; no new historical series is implied.
