FAQs
Does IIT Madras accept telemedicine fitness certificates?
Yes. Under the MoHFW Telemedicine Practice Guidelines 2020, certificates from NMC-registered doctors via telemedicine are legally valid. IIT Madras accepts fitness certificates from MBBS/MD doctors with a verifiable NMC registration number.
Should I submit this before or after reaching IIT Madras campus?
You can submit it either way — most students submit at the time of document verification on joining day. Getting it before you travel to Chennai saves time on your joining day and avoids last-minute hospital visits in the city.
