Frequently asked questions
What is the lowest NEET score accepted in Chennai?
ACS Medical College and Hospital has the lowest expected closing range in this list, at around 130 marks, though scores at the bottom of a range typically become viable only in the mop-up and stray vacancy rounds.
Which is the cheapest private medical college in Chennai?
ACS Medical College and Hospital at ₹23 Lakhs per year is the lowest advertised annual tuition here. Budget for hostel, mess and a refundable security deposit on top — the advertised tuition is not the amount a family actually pays.
Is a donation required for a low NEET score admission?
No. Every MBBS seat is allotted through centralised online merit counselling — MCC for deemed universities, the state DGME for open-state private colleges. Fees are paid directly to the institution against an allotment letter. Offline cash-for-seat admissions are illegal under NMC rules and the seat can be cancelled.
Can candidates from other states apply?
In Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, yes — 100% of private college seats are open to candidates from any state with no domicile certificate. Haryana opens unfilled seats in the later rounds. Deemed universities have no domicile requirement at all, since MCC allots every seat on all-India merit.
