NMC 2026–27 MBBS matrix as on 18 September 2026; KL/035/G/1; published total, subject to revision; not round-wise vacancies
Older institutional descriptions can retain a different intake for their own publication period. The dated matrix above is kept separate from category allocation, student strength and current counselling vacancies.
Institutional history and identity
T.D. Medical College began in 1963 under Thirumala Devaswom patronage. Its institutional history records the first MBBS classes in August 1963 and the government-management transition through a 1973 order. Today’s government ownership should not be confused with its original private-management history.
Separate the college, hospital and wider campus units when checking an admission choice. The history explains how the institution developed; permission and round-wise seats require a session-specific record.
Hospital setting and clinical learning
The college is at Vandanam, around nine kilometres south of Alappuzha town, beside the national-highway corridor. The medical college and teaching-hospital setting support undergraduate, postgraduate and selected advanced-specialty study. Location matters when planning travel between teaching, clinical and residential spaces.
For MBBS, compare the progression from foundational sciences to supervised clinical postings and internship. For postgraduate study, ask about the exact specialty’s case mix, duties, supervision and practical assessments. A hospital bed count cannot be converted into a promised number of procedures for each student.
Library and academic resources
The Central Library page lists a 900-square-metre library with 150 user seats, a Learning Resource Centre and a separate air-conditioned reading facility for faculty and PG students. It reports 21,065 books and 3,690 book-bank books, together 24,755; bound volumes are listed separately and should not be added as though they were part of the same total.
At orientation, confirm membership, lending limits, identity-card requirements and digital credentials. Reference access, borrowing and off-campus electronic access may be different services. Course textbooks, current guidelines and journal access serve different learning needs, so one collection total is not an academic-quality score.
Hostel, mess and relocation
Hostel facilities are referenced in the institutional navigation. Room availability, mess arrangements and actual charges are separate from the state-wide tuition schedule used here. Students should confirm their accommodation allocation rather than interpret the tuition table as a residential package.
Prepare a relocation checklist alongside the fee budget: reporting documents, room-allotment process, travel arrangements, deposits and the start of classes. Ask whether mess is mandatory, whether accommodation is shared, and what is included in the stated hostel collection. An institution’s hostel description is not proof of a room currently being available.

Frequently asked questions
Where is TD Medical College, Alappuzha?
T D Medical College, Alleppey (Allappuzha) is recorded in Alappuzha, Kerala. Match the exact campus and college code ALP when reading counselling tables.
What is the MBBS admission route?
NEET-UG → MCC AIQ / 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?
175 in the dated profile reference. NMC 2026–27 MBBS matrix as on 18 September 2026; KL/035/G/1; published total, subject to revision; not round-wise vacancies
Which other programmes are listed?
MBBS: 1 named entry, MD: 17 named entries, MS: 5 named entries, DM: 3 named entries, M.Ch: 2 named entries, Pharmacy: 2 named entries, Allied health: 2 named entries, Diploma: 6 named entries. These catalogue counts do not establish current sanctioned seats or open admissions.
Which fee year does this page use?
DME schedule for admissions from 2023–24 onward. 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 → MCC AIQ / 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 TD Medical College, Alappuzha 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 TD Medical College, Alappuzha 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.
