I am Hindu. I want to pursue my postgraduate studies in CMC Vellore. But people say CMC is only for Christians. Is it so? Can a Hindu join?

A Hindu friend of mine completed her MS in General Surgery at CMC Vellore. Initially, everyone dissuaded her from considering CMC Vellore but she was adamant about it and finally got admission. She says she had the best experience of her life despite having experience at several top colleges. She was amazed by the dedication of the medical and non-medical staff. 

Here is the seat breakdown for MBBS at CMC Vellore:

Your religion does not matter but what matters is if you have done UG, internship, and non-PG residency at CMC and whether you are sponsored. Even some Hindus get sponsored by the local missionary hospital or CMC hospital itself and compete for sponsored seats. So being a Hindu won’t necessarily affect your chances of admission to CMC Vellore.
