CMC Vellore Graduate (2021)

At present, the fellowship stipend at CMC Vellore is INR 59,000. After PF deduction, the in-hand amount received is INR 53,900. In addition to the monetary benefit, the fellows receive other benefits as well.

Accommodation

You will get a shared accommodation in CMC Annex, Sathuvachari if you are unmarried. A single accommodation is given to married fellows.
The room has 2 beds, 1 bucket, 1 mug, 1 fan, 1 mirror, an attached washroom and a geyser.
The Problem: Accommodation is not free of cost. The accommodations are not within the campus.

Study Material and Software: The fellows get access to study material and software, but on a paid basis. For this, they are charged INR 900 monthly, and this amount is deducted from their stipend.

Parking: For a monthly pass of INR 300, the fellows can access the common parking facility opposite the jubilee gate.

These are the perks (and disadvantages) of joining CMC Vellore for fellowship. I would recommend you compare the conditions with other premium medical institutions before choosing CMC Vellore for your fellowship.
