Dear Ruhamah

Basically Minority network category seeks to admit sponsored Christian candidates in the college. A sponsored candidate is one that has been sponsored/selected by one of the member churches of the CMC Council to study in CMC.

CMC aims to train medical professionals to serve in various rural and mission hospitals all over the country. There are several churches that comprise the CMC Council. The member churches are allowed to select a few candidates for admission into CMC. Once cleared by the church, the candidate needs to get through the entrance exam as well as the CMC interview process. On completion of the course, the candidate is required to serve at least two years in any hospital that is managed by the church he/she is sponsored from. Apart from churches, a few mission hospital groups can also sponsor students, for eg, Emmanuel Hospital Association (EHA), The Leprosy Mission (TLM), and others. So, on completion of the course, the student goes back and works in one of the hospitals run by these bodies.

All the best
