My mom has lived all her childhood in vellore only and was also associated with CMC.
Also at that time it was famous for medical courses and now recently in a survey by INDIA TODAY it is ranked as No.2 College for MEDICAL COURSES. The INDIA TODAY version I dont remember, but it is some recent version in which all details about CMC is mentioned.
