In addition to the core medical curriculum, our students receive a healthy exposure to extracurricular activities. M.G.M.C.R.I. believes that promotion of special talents and participation in extracurricular pursuits are vital components of personality development. The college conducts Talentia, a spectacular interclass competition comprising sports and literary events, apart from various cultural and fine arts activities such as music, dance, and drama, once a year. In addition, our students participate regularly in other inter-college sports and cultural contests conducted by other frontline medical colleges. The students of this campus have access to essential sports equipment, indoor and outdoor games, and a well-equipped music room.

When the students need a break from campus life and the stress of medical education, the city of Puducherry offers numerous getaways. A relaxing walk along the seaside promenade, and an exhilarating boat-ride in the backwaters, are some of the popular options. Puducherry is home to many historical temples and grand cathedrals. Meditation in the Aurobindo Ashram is ideal for those who are spiritually inclined.
