Getting admission to MBBS courses in government medical colleges in the country is one of the biggest challenges. But not everyone tops the NEET examination and manages to get admission to the country’s most prestigious medical college, AIIMS, New Delhi. So, many students opt for private colleges. However, people have a perception that private medical colleges are not good. Firstly, the fees of the colleges are high, and secondly, the quality of education there has always been under question. However, there is a private college which is counted among the top medical colleges by NIRF.

The college is none other than Christian Medical College (CMC), Vellore. This is a private medical college in Tamil Nadu and is known widely. The MBBS fees at this college are very low.
