The college's flagship undergraduate programme is MBBS, with an intake of 247 domestic seats plus 3 NRI seats (250 total) as listed on the official 2025-26 admissions page, running 4.5 years of coursework plus a mandatory one-year internship. BDS is also offered at undergraduate level. Postgraduate options include MD and MS across multiple clinical specialties, each 3 years, plus super-specialty DM (6 disciplines) and MCh (5 surgical disciplines) programmes for candidates who have completed the relevant MD/MS.
Beyond core medicine, the campus runs Allied Health Sciences programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Admission to MBBS and BDS is exclusively through NEET-UG scores and MCC counselling; the college does not run its own separate entrance exam for these programmes. A merit scholarship scheme tied to SRMJEEH scores exists for Allied Health Sciences admissions, but official documentation states it does not extend to MBBS, BDS, or PG Medicine seats.
SRM Institute of Science and Technology, the parent university, was placed 18th in the NIRF 2025 Medical category (score 63.22) and 22nd in the NIRF 2025 Overall category (score 62.87), figures confirmed via SRMIST's own official ranking announcement. These are university-wide NIRF placements; no separate NIRF Medical-category listing specific to SRM Medical College Hospital & Research Centre as a standalone entry was found on nirfindia.org, so this ranking should be read as the parent institution's standing rather than a college-exclusive rank.
Medical, dental, health sciences, and allied health students are housed in dedicated hostel blocks separate from the main SRMIST engineering/arts hostels. The men's APJ Abdul Kalam Hostel is a 16-floor building with 262 furnished rooms in AC and non-AC, single and double occupancy configurations, while three women's hostels (Dr. Muthulakshmi, Dr. B.C. Roy, and Nightingale) together house more than 1,000 women students a year. Both sides offer 24x7 hot water, Wi-Fi, mess facilities, reading rooms, gyms, and round-the-clock security with CCTV coverage, per the official hostel page.
The hospital campus spans roughly 32 acres with 1,590 beds and 52 departments, including superspecialty units in cardiology, nephrology, urology, and neurosurgery, per the hospital's own official site
MBBS, BDS, MD/MS across multiple specialties, super-specialty DM/MCh, and Allied Health Sciences UG/PG programmes all run at this campus
