Hi everyone! Last week, I visited Tamil Nadu and gathered information about its Government Medical Colleges. Situated in southern India, Tamil Nadu is renowned for its ancient and rich cultural heritage. The state has the highest number of Government Medical Colleges in the country- 38 in total, along with one AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences), situated in Madurai, making it 39 overall. In this article you will find the Complete List of the Government Medical Colleges with their MBBS annual intake.
All these Government Medical Colleges are located in different cities, and Chennai alone has as many as Five Government Medical Colleges. All these Government Medical Colleges, recognized by the National Medical Commission (NMC), maintain high academic standards and offer everything from accommodation to recreational facilities. And yes, the most important thing I want to mention here is that admission to all these colleges will depend on how you performed in your NEET examination.
