What is the reputation of CMC Vellore abroad? Do we get paid during the bond period there for two years?

CMC Vellore enjoys a good reputation abroad and you are highly regarded wherever you go. However, you might be considered highly by the Indians staying abroad and not the locals because they hardly know about CMC. People might not be familiar with your college if you are working with a multinational set of colleagues.

Coming to the second part of your question, yes, you do get paid during the bond period of 2 years but the salary depends on your sponsoring body. Some sponsoring bodies have more funds than others so you might not receive a salary equal to your friends. The primary goal is to serve the community so your focus should be social service and not monetary gains. Moreover, the hands-on experience and exposure you get are unmatched and improve your skills a lot and also improve your job opportunities. So, keep money on the back pedestal and work hard to serve society!
