The verdict

Strong fit

Madras Medical College (#10 NIRF Medical) offers this MCh at a government-hospital price tag—just ₹4.5L total—which is almost unheard of for a super-specialty surgical program. With an 88% placement rate, ₹18.5L average CTC, and hands-on exposure to cardiac transplantation, it's a power move for MS General Surgery grads. The catch? Only 4 seats make it insanely competitive via NEET-SS, and the low data confidence means you should confirm current bond policies and seat status directly with the college.
