New Exam Hall, CMC Bagayam Campus
The Medical College Campus on the southern outskirts of Vellore city is a 200-acre wooded site at the foot of College Hill. Built in 1932, it remains, as originally envisaged, a residential community where students and staff can study and reside in serene and beautiful surroundings.
The central college chapel opens on to a sunken garden and connects with the Women’s Hostel and various classrooms through peaceful stone corridors. Interspersed among the tall trees and winding roads are other hostels, administrative, teaching and research facilities, staff residences, guest houses, playing fields and more
With birdsong in the morning, the buzz of classes through the day, the sound of music and games, vespers on a Sunday evening and the silence of the night stars - the College Campus has been a cherished home to generations of students and faculty for several years.
The main hospital is situated in the 19-acre Town Campus in the heart of Vellore town. The hospital complex is the site for clinical training for all the students. The vast majority of the clinical departments are located on the hospital campus.
