Admission to Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital (SMVMCH), Puducherry, is strictly merit-based and conducted through the Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Government of Puducherry. The college does not handle admissions independently; all candidates must participate in the state-level counseling process.
Entrance Exam: All candidates must qualify for the NEET-UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test).
Counseling Authority: Admissions are governed by CENTAC. You must register on the official CENTAC website during the application window.
Quota System:
Government Quota: Reserved strictly for residents of the Union Territory of Puducherry.
Management/Minority Quota: Open to candidates on an All-India basis. For minority seats (specifically Telugu linguistic minority), candidates must provide valid documentary proof.
NRI Quota: Available for eligible candidates meeting the NRI status requirements as defined by CENTAC.
Selection Process: Selection is based on the NEET-UG merit list and your preferences submitted during choice filling. Counseling typically involves multiple rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up, and Stray Vacancy).
Entrance Exam: Candidates must qualify for NEET-PG.
Counseling Authority: Similar to the undergraduate process, PG admissions are also processed through CENTAC counseling.
Eligibility: You must hold a recognized MBBS degree and have completed the compulsory rotating medical internship by the prescribed date set by the authorities.
Seat Allocation: Allocation is based on NEET-PG rank, course preferences, and applicable reservation categories.
Register on CENTAC: Create an account on the official portal when the application window opens.
Document Upload: Keep digital copies of your NEET admit card, score card, 10+2 marksheet (or MBBS degree for PG), proof of residence/nativity, and category certificates (if applicable) ready.
Choice Filling: During the counseling rounds, ensure you prioritize your choices. Including SMVMCH in your list does not guarantee a seat; it must be aligned with your NEET rank and the seat matrix.
Verification & Reporting: If a seat is allotted to you, you must report to the college within the specified timeline with all original documents for verification and payment of the prescribed tuition fees to confirm your admission.
