Saveetha Medical College MBBS Fees 2026

The current official SIMATS admission page provides the 2026 fee information.

MBBS Fee Structure

Fee ComponentCurrent Published FeeTuition Fee₹25,00,000/yearLaboratory Fee₹2,00,000/yearOne-time Admission Charge₹50,000Approx. First-Year Academic Payment₹27,50,000Course Duration5.5 years

The official page describes the MBBS programme as 5.5 years and lists ₹25 lakh tuition plus ₹2 lakh laboratory fee, with ₹50,000 admission charge included in the fee structure.

Approximate Academic Cost

If the annual tuition and laboratory fee remain unchanged for the 4.5 academic years:

₹27 lakh × 4.5 = approximately ₹1.215 crore

Adding the one-time ₹50,000 admission charge:

Approximately ₹1.22 crore

This is a calculation based on the currently published annual fee, not a guarantee that the fee will remain unchanged for every academic year.

Hostel, mess, examination and other applicable charges are additional.

Important Fee Clarification

Older Saveetha MBBS documents can show different figures.

For example, the college's earlier 2024–25 admission document listed ₹25 lakh annual fee plus ₹50,000 university registration/eligibility fee. The current SIMATS admission page now separately identifies a ₹2 lakh annual laboratory fee, making the current published first-year academic amount approximately ₹27.50 lakh including the one-time admission charge.

Therefore, for a 2026 admission article, the current official SIMATS admission page should be given priority.

Saveetha Medical College Hostel Fees 2026

Saveetha provides residential facilities for students, including separate accommodation arrangements and campus hostel facilities.

The latest detailed MBBS hostel document available from the college lists:

Hostel ComponentLatest Detailed Published ReferenceRoom Rent₹73,000AC Charges₹36,000Hostel Admission Fee₹1,000Establishment Charges₹10,000Caution Deposit₹10,000Total Hostel Fee₹1,30,000/year

The college document specifies single AC rooms with attached bathrooms and separate hostel facilities for boys and girls.

2026 Hostel Fee Note

The ₹1.30 lakh figure is the latest detailed hostel fee document I could verify, but it is from an earlier admission cycle. I would therefore publish it as the latest available detailed reference, not as a guaranteed final 2026–27 hostel fee.

Students should confirm the 2026–27 hostel invoice directly with Saveetha before payment.

Saveetha Medical College Hostel Facilities

The SIMATS campus provides:

• Separate student hostels
• AC accommodation options
• Attached bathroom facilities
• Dining/mess facilities
• Recreational facilities

The university's institutional documentation also describes vegetarian and non-vegetarian food outlets and multi-cuisine restaurants within the campus.

Saveetha Medical College MBBS Admission 2026

Admission to MBBS is based on NEET-UG merit and the applicable counselling process.

For deemed-university seats, candidates participate in MCC counselling.

Admission Process

Step 1 – Qualify NEET-UG 2026

Candidates must qualify NEET-UG 2026 and satisfy the applicable NMC eligibility conditions.

Step 2 – Register for MCC Counselling

Candidates seeking the applicable deemed-university seats must register with MCC.

MCC's 2026 UG counselling portal currently lists Round 3 newly added seats, virtual vacancies and clear vacancies.

Step 3 – Choice Filling

Candidates can add Saveetha Medical College to their MCC choices according to their preferred seat category.

Step 4 – Seat Allotment

MCC considers:

• NEET rank
• Candidate category
• Seat type
• Choice preference
• Seat availability
• Applicable counselling rules

Step 5 – Reporting

After allotment, candidates must report within the prescribed period and complete:

• Document verification

Saveetha Medical College NEET Cutoff 2026

The MBBS cutoff changes according to counselling round, category and seat type.

The latest 2026 counselling data currently available reports:

Open / Self-Financed Merit

MCC RoundOpening RankClosing RankRound 175,7345,99,305Round 21,70,5956,76,697

The Round 2 closing rank of 6,76,697 is specifically for the reported Open/Self-Financed Merit category. It should not be treated as a universal cutoff for NRI seats, other categories or future rounds.

NRI Cutoff

The current 2026 data reports an NRI Round 1 rank of 4,161 for the listed NRI seat. This is a very small seat category and should not be compared directly with the Self-Financed Merit closing rank.

Important Cutoff Warning

A student's admission chance depends on:

• NEET AIR
• Category
• Seat type
• MCC round
• Choices filled
• Number of vacant seats
• Candidate upgradation/withdrawals

Therefore, 6,76,697 should be treated as a historical 2026 Round 2 closing rank, not as a guaranteed admission rank.

Current MCC Counselling Status – 28 September 2026

As of 28 September 2026, MCC UG counselling has reached Round 3.

The MCC official portal currently displays:

• Round 3 newly added MBBS/BDS seats
• Round 3 virtual vacancies
• Round 3 clear vacancies
• Round 2 final result
• Current UG counselling schedule

MCC published the official Round 2 final result on 12 September 2026.

Candidates considering Saveetha should therefore check the latest Round 3 vacancy and seat matrix rather than relying only on Round 1 or Round 2 data.

Saveetha Medical College Ranking 2026

Ranking needs to be distinguished between NIRF's official ranking and other private ranking systems.

NIRF Medical Ranking

The latest officially published NIRF Medical ranking I could verify is NIRF 2025, where Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences was ranked #11 in Medical, with a score of 66.50.

For comparison, Saveetha was ranked #12 in NIRF Medical 2024.

What About NIRF 2026?

Saveetha's official website has a dedicated NIRF 2026 section, and NIRF confirms that the 2026 data-submission process was conducted. However, data submission is different from publication of the final ranking.

Therefore, for a 2026 admission article:

Latest verified NIRF Medical rank: #11 (NIRF 2025).

Do not publish a numerical NIRF 2026 Medical rank until the final Ministry ranking table confirms it.

Saveetha Medical College – NIRF Ranking History

NIRF EditionMedical Rank2023182024122025112026Final published rank to be verified

The official NIRF pages confirm Saveetha's Medical ranking of 18 in 2023, 12 in 2024, and 11 in 2025.

NAAC Status

Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences has NAAC A++ accreditation, according to SIMATS' official information.

This accreditation applies at the university/institutional level and should not be confused with a separate NMC recognition status for the medical college.

Is Saveetha Medical College Government or Private?

Saveetha Medical College is a private medical college and is part of Saveetha Institute of Medical and Technical Sciences, a deemed-to-be university.

The college is recognized by the National Medical Commission, and the current NMC data confirms its 250-seat MBBS intake.

Is There Management Quota at Saveetha Medical College?

This point should be explained carefully.

Saveetha is a deemed-to-be university medical institution and its MBBS seats are subject to the applicable counselling framework.

Current secondary counselling information describes the seats under Self-Financed Merit and NRI categories.

Candidates should not interpret the paid/self-financed category as permission for direct admission without NEET and counselling.

For MBBS admission, candidates must qualify NEET-UG and follow the applicable counselling procedure.

Does Tamil Nadu Domicile Matter?

For the relevant deemed-university seats, candidates participate through the MCC deemed-university counselling route.

Therefore, the admission mechanism is different from the ordinary Tamil Nadu state-quota process applicable to government/private state-quota seats.

Students from other states can participate subject to the applicable MCC eligibility and counselling rules.

Saveetha Medical College MBBS Course Duration

The official SIMATS admission page lists:

5.5 years

This corresponds to:

• 4.5 years of academic medical education
• 1 year compulsory rotating medical internship/CRMI

Saveetha Medical College 2026 – Total Cost Estimate

Using the current published academic fee:

Annual Academic Fee

• Tuition: ₹25 lakh
• Laboratory fee: ₹2 lakh

Annual academic fee = ₹27 lakh

Approximate 4.5-Year Academic Fee

₹27 lakh × 4.5

= ₹1.215 crore

Add One-Time Admission Charge

₹1.215 crore + ₹50,000

= approximately ₹1.22 crore

This excludes hostel, mess, transportation, examination and other applicable charges.

Therefore, students should not assume ₹1.22 crore is the complete five-and-a-half-year cost.
