Are only Christians allowed in CMC Vellore for MBBS?

I completed my MBBS from CMC Vellore in the year 2018 as a Hindu candidate. 

I have simplified the MBBS seat distribution system at CMC Vellore for your understanding.

• Management Seats- 50% of the total are management seats. These are divided into open seats, minority network seats and CMC Vellore staff seats.
• Government Seats- The remaining 50% seats are filled by the Tamil Nadu Government from the State merit list of NEET UG exam. 30% of these seats are allotted to Tamil Nadu students (this includes other forms of reserved seats).

20% of seats are filled by Christian students belonging to Tamil Nadu. 

I have attached a screenshot from the CMC Vellore official MBBS Admission Bulletin 2024 for your reference:

So to answer you, CMC Vellore does offer MBBS seats to non-Christian students. But the number of such seats is low. CMC Vellore is a Christian minority institution. For this reason, the majority of its MBBS and PG seats are reserved for Christian candidates. But a small number of seats can be filled by candidates of other faiths as well.

No, candidates from other religions apart from Christianity can also apply for admission to MBBS under the Open Category. CMC Vellore is a private and unaided Christian minority institute and does offer major reservations to Christian minority students. 

It must be noted that limited seats are reserved for candidates from other religions under the open category. Candidates from other religions can apply for MBBS under both management and government quotas. Under the Management quota, the candidates can apply under the open category while under the Government quota, candidates can apply through the 30% of the seats filled by the State Government as per its reservation policy. Admission for CMC Vellore MBBS is based on NEET UG score only for both categories. 

For the Christian minority, 20% of the seats are reserved under the Government Quota and also under the Minority Network quota under the Management Quota for admission to MBBS at CMC Vellore.
