The verdict
Strong fit
MMC is the move if you want a government-tag MBBS with insane patient load and basically zero debt. Ranked #10 in NIRF Medical, 95% placed into TN Health Dept, AIIMS, CMC Vellore and major chains like Apollo and Fortis. The catch? You gotta crack NEET-UG and lock a state counseling seat.
