MDS Course Fees Structure in Tamil Nadu
Tamil Nadu’s MDS admission prospectuses set exactly one tuition amount — ₹30,000a year for Government Institutions. For every self-financing seat, government quota and management or NRI alike, both prospectuses say the tuition is “as prescribed by the Committee on Fixation of Fees in respect of Self-Financing Professional Colleges” and publish no figure at all. The table below therefore carries the government’s own numbers and nothing else.
| Seat Type | Annual Tuition | Security Deposit | Application Fee |
|---|---|---|---|

Security deposit is refundable to candidates who get no seat, per the prospectus.
No per-college private tuition figure is quoted here because none is published in these orders — the Committee on Fixation of Fees in respect of Self-Financing Professional Colleges fixes it for each year. JKKN’s own Management Quota MDS tuition for 2026-27 is ₹8,50,000 a year, the same in all five specialities, as published on its fee structure page; its Government Quota fee is the one the committee fixes.
