CMC Vellore Placement FAQs

Ques. What salary can an MBBS doctor from CMC Vellore expect at the beginning?

Ans. MBBS graduates from CMC Vellore usually pass through two earning stages after the course. During the compulsory 12-month internship, the stipend is INR 10,000 to INR 35,000 per month, equal to INR 3 to 4 LPA on a yearly basis. After internship, graduates complete the 2-year service bond, where pay is usually INR 19,000 to INR 35,000+ per month based on the hospital and posting location. After the bond, graduates who move into open-market jobs, including roles in Apollo, Fortis, Max or government services, generally receive INR 8 to 15 LPA at the junior consultant or medical officer level. Pay rises with experience and specialisation. The NIRF 2025 median salary for UG graduates is INR 4.76 LPA per annum, which represents the bond-period earning stage.

Ques. How much stipend do PG (MD/MS) residents get at CMC Vellore?

Ans. CMC Vellore runs all postgraduate MD/MS programs as in-service training programs. PG residents in broad specialty MD/MS courses receive INR 50,925 per month, which comes to INR 6.11 LPA on a yearly basis. Students in Higher Specialty programs, including DM/MCh super-specialty courses, get INR 65,080 per month, equal to INR 7.81 LPA. The NIRF 2025 median salary for PG 3-year graduates is INR 12,10,300 per annum, which shows post-residency job packages instead of the training-period stipend. PG graduates starting in corporate hospitals such as Apollo, Max and Fortis, or in government medical colleges, usually begin at INR 10 to 18 LPA, with faster growth after super-specialty training.

Ques. Is there a compulsory service bond at CMC Vellore?

Ans. Yes. MBBS graduates at CMC Vellore must complete a 2-year service bond. The place and type of service depend on the admission category, such as open, sponsored or mission. Open-category students mainly serve within the CMC hospital system at Vellore, Chittoor or Ranipet campuses, or at partner institutions chosen by CMC. Sponsored students, who are admitted through Christian missions and organisations, serve in the facilities of the sponsoring organisation. Students who do not complete the bond must pay a financial penalty, and the amount is specified during admission. PG (MD/MS) graduates also have a post-residency service requirement, with terms shared during the PG admission process. Many alumni see the bond period as a strong clinical training phase and a useful way to build skills before NEET-PG or private-sector work.
