Tamil Nadu has one of the most diverse PG medical fee structures in India, ranging from extremely affordable government college fees (₹40,000/year) to premium management and NRI quota fees at deemed universities (up to ₹75 Lakh/year). The fee structure depends on three key factors: college type (government, private self-financing, or deemed university), quota (government, management, or NRI), and branch type (clinical, para-clinical, or non-clinical).

Government medical colleges charged ₹40,000 per annum tuition fee + ₹10,000 special fee for PG degree courses. Government quota seats in private colleges ranged between ₹3 to ₹3.5 lakh per annum.
