IRT Perundurai Medical College

IRT Perundurai Medical College is a government medical college in Erode district, Tamil Nadu, with an unusual origin — it was set up by the state's Institute of Road Transport before being absorbed into the government medical system. The campus at Perundurai adjoins its teaching hospital, which anchors clinical training in MBBS and the core postgraduate specialities, and a nursing programme runs alongside. Admission is through NEET and Tamil Nadu's medical counselling, with government-college fees that keep competition sharp. Perundurai is a small industrial town near Erode, quieter and cheaper than the state's big medical-college cities, and the campus is notably spacious and green for a government institution. It suits Tamil Nadu students who want an affordable government MBBS seat with a calm district setting; those seeking a large metropolitan referral hospital's caseload variety may prefer the city colleges.
