Sri Ramachandra University Admission Updates

SRIHER Chennai is inviting applications for the UG programs. Interested candidates can apply till April 13, 2024.


SRIHER admits students through separate routes for medical, dental, PG medical, and health science programmes. MBBS and BDS seats are allotted only through MCC counselling using NEET UG scores, while UG paramedical and health sciences courses follow the institute's own admission process.

For Paramedical and Health Sciences UG programmes, SRIHER uses three admission groups:

  • Group A: SRIHER Entrance Exam only
  • Group B: SRIHER Entrance Exam for courses offered by the Council for Allied and Health Care Professionals
  • Group C: Interview for non-statutory council courses offered by SRIHER

PG medical courses such as MD and MS use NEET PG scores. MDS admission is based on NEET MDS followed by MCC PG counselling. Since SRIHER is a deemed university, students from any Indian state can apply without a state domicile rule.

  • SRIHER has 250 MBBS seats.
  • All India candidates compete for MBBS and BDS seats without any state domicile limit.
  • NEET UG is not mandatory for BPT, B.Sc Nursing, or any UG paramedical programme.
  • The SRIHER entrance exam application fee is INR 1,000, and it is non-refundable.

SRIHER Admission Portal: admissions.sriramachandra.edu.in

Direct Admission at SRIHER: SRIHER does not give MBBS or BDS seats through any management quota outside MCC counselling. Even management or paid category seats are allotted only through MCC Deemed University counselling. Walk-in and off-campus admission are not available.

This college is the best one for the course I chose in India. It has good infrastructure as well to put in practical use. The admission process includes an interview which involves some personal questions as well as course related questions. We didn't have an entrance exam but our 10th and 12th grade marks were taken into account. I prepared for the interview but familiarising myself with sports related things.

There is an entrance exam conducted by the college for all the courses. For Bpharm, there has to be an entrance test based on your 12th knowledge and you need to have an above average( the cutoff will be decided based on the exam results of all students) there are also NRI seats available. The eligibility for this course is above 60% in chemistry, physics, biology/math. If the student has the qualification mark he'll be called for the submission of his certificates, and biometrics and to pay the fees.
