Following the declaration of NEET UG 2026 results, all eyes are now on the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). The MCC is expected to soon release the counselling schedule for admissions under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats. Although the official notification is awaited, the registration and choice-filling process for Round 1 is likely to commence in the coming days. Therefore, this is the ideal time to shortlist colleges before finalising your preferences.
For students seeking admission to MBBS colleges in India, the National Institutional Ranking Framework (NIRF) rankings are a key metric when comparing medical colleges. Compiled by the Ministry of Education, these rankings assess colleges based on several criteria, including teaching, research, graduation outcomes, outreach and inclusivity, and peer perception.
Top Medical Colleges in Tamil Nadu: According to NIRF Rankings 2025, the top medical colleges in Tamil Nadu, based on the NIRF medical college rankings, are as follows:
| Medical College | NIRF Rankings 2025 |
| Christian Medical College | #3 |
| Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham | #9 |
| Madras Medical College & Government General Hospital, Chennai | #16 |
| S.R.M. Institute of Science and Technology | #18 |
| Sri Ramachandra Institute of Higher Education and Research | #21 |
| PSG Institute of Medical Sciences and Research | #43 |
| Chettinad Academy of Research and Education | #49 |
The official MBBS prospectus for Tamil Nadu contains the seat matrix, eligibility, category rules and regulations, fee structure, and counselling procedure. It does not provide the state-issued list of ‘best MBBS college rankings’.
