SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Kattankulathur MD/MS (NEET-PG) Admission 2026: Fees & MCC Counselling

SRM MD/MS at a glance

SRM Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Kattankulathur offers postgraduate MD/MS training as a constituent college of SRM Institute of Science and Technology (SRMIST), a deemed-to-be university. Its PG degrees are recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and admission is entirely through NEET-PG and the centralised MCC deemed-university counselling on mcc.nic.in. Below we set out how PG admission works, the cost picture, and where SRM fits on a realistic MD/MS shortlist.

How MD/MS admission works at SRM

Every MD/MS seat — including at a deemed university — is filled on a qualified NEET-PG score through MCC's centralised deemed counselling (100% via mcc.nic.in). Counselling runs in rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up and Stray Vacancy); you register once, fill specialty-college choices, and seats are allotted on merit-cum-preference within each quota. There is no separate PG entrance test and no off-portal route.

For the management/paid and NRI categories, the lever is your NEET-PG rank against the closing rank for the specific branch you want — clinical branches close at sharply better ranks than pre/para-clinical ones. Correct branch-college sequencing in choice-filling is what decides the outcome, and it is the part we manage end-to-end.

MD/MS specialties & seats at SRM

SRM offers MD/MS across a range of clinical and para-clinical disciplines — typically Pre/Para-clinical (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, Pathology, Pharmacology, Microbiology, Community Medicine, Forensic Medicine) and Clinical (General Medicine, General Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Orthopaedics, Anaesthesiology, Radiodiagnosis, Dermatology, Psychiatry, ENT, Ophthalmology and others), subject to the year's NMC approval.

The exact specialty-wise PG seat matrix for SRM is published on the MCC portal each season — we confirm the current branches, seat counts and the realistic closing-rank behaviour for your target specialty before you fill choices.

Management & NRI quota for MD/MS at SRM

SRM admits MD/MS under the standard deemed-university quotas. Indian postgraduates can apply on the management/paid route; NRI seats are open to NRIs and to candidates sponsored by a first-degree NRI relative under Supreme Court guidelines, with the sponsor undertaking the tuition.

We work strictly within the official MCC route — no capitation, no cash donation, no off-portal payment (any such demand is illegal and risks the seat). We map SRM against peer deemed colleges on live PG fees and closing ranks, prepare and vet NRI sponsorship/embassy paperwork where relevant, and run the choice-filling so the allotment is clean.

SRM MD/MS fees & the true cost picture

Per SRM's official 2025 NEET-PG bulletin, domestic-category MD/MS annual tuition ranges roughly from ₹3 lakh to ₹50 lakh depending on the specialty (one-time ₹10,000 registration), and NRI-category MD/MS is about US$1,00,000–1,20,000 per year. We share the exact specialty-wise figure for your branch.

MD/MS tuition at a deemed university is set institutionally and differs sharply by specialty — clinical branches (e.g., Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine) sit far above pre/para-clinical ones. We confirm the current verified specialty-wise tuition, stipend and deposit structure in writing for your family against the official notification and the live MCC display, and map SRM against peer deemed colleges before you commit a rupee.

What NEET-PG rank gives you a realistic chance

Unlike NEET-UG, the PG gate is genuinely rank-sensitive and branch-specific: a rank that comfortably secures a pre/para-clinical MD at SRM may be far from a clinical branch like Radiodiagnosis or Dermatology, which close at much better ranks even in the management quota. We assess your NEET-PG rank against the realistic specialty-wise allotment pattern and tell you plainly which SRM branches are in reach — and which alternatives to keep on your list.

Frequently asked questions

SRM MD/MS admission through NEET-PG 2026

Admission to every MD/MS seat at SRM runs strictly on NEET-PG 2026 (transitioning to the NExT examination once the NMC notifies it). You must qualify the NEET-PG cut-off percentile for your category, after which your All-India Rank feeds the centralised counselling. As a deemed university, SRMIST PG seats are allotted 100% through MCC deemed counselling on mcc.nic.in across the management/paid and NRI quotas — there is no state PG quota and no off-portal seat.

Confirm the live PG seat matrix and category split on the MCC portal before you fill choices; reporting to the wrong stream or mis-sequencing branches is the single most common reason postgraduates forfeit an eligible MD/MS seat.

Budgeting for MD/MS at SRM

PG tuition is the largest line, but plan the full three-year picture for SRM: specialty-wise tuition (clinical branches cost far more than pre/para-clinical), hostel and mess, one-time and refundable deposits, and the resident stipend that partly offsets living costs during the course. Always verify the current official PG fee notification before paying. Education loans from nationalised banks cover MD/MS tuition against your admission letter; our education-loan guide explains sanction and collateral rules.

Papers to keep ready for NEET-PG counselling

Keep a single folder of scanned documents ready before MCC PG counselling opens for SRM:

• NEET-PG 2026 scorecard / rank letter and admit card
• MBBS degree and all year marksheets
• Internship completion certificate (CRRI)
• Permanent / provisional NMC or State Medical Council registration
• Class 10 & 12 certificates, photo ID (Aadhaar/passport), photographs
• Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS) and NRI/sponsorship papers where applicable

Carry several photocopies and the originals for physical verification at the allotted college.

What comes after an MD/MS from SRM

An MD/MS from SRM opens senior-residency, consultant and academic roles, and is the gateway to super-specialisation (DM/MCh) through the relevant entrance, as well as faculty pathways under NMC norms. Plan early — the strongest postgraduates line up senior-residency or DM/MCh preparation well before the course ends so there is no gap before the next step.

Don't get scammed: SRM MD/MS red flags

PG medical admission in India is merit-based and conducted only through official NEET-PG / MCC counselling. Be wary of anyone promising a "guaranteed" MD/MS seat or specific branch at SRM in exchange for a donation or capitation fee, or asking you to pay outside the official channel. No agent can bypass NEET-PG or MCC. Always pay directly to the institution against an official receipt and verify allotment on the government portal.
