What this means for applicants
Thousands of MBBS aspirants across the country apply to CMC Vellore every year, given its reputation and limited seat intake. With today being the final day for General Merit category applicants, candidates who are yet to complete their forms are being urged to do so before the window closes, since the college has confirmed applications are accepted only in online mode.
