Seat Matrix for Private Medical Colleges in Tamil Nadu

In the last article, we gave you the seat matrix for deemed universities/ central universities. Following this article, I got a few requests to write an article on the seat matrix for private colleges in Tamil Nadu. The last article was easy as the seat matrix for deemed universities/ central universities was provided by Medical Counseling Committee; all I have to do was to present in an easy-to-read format. However, the seat matrix for private colleges in Tamil Nadu is yet to be released by Tamil Nadu government.

Seat Matrix for Private Colleges in Tamil Nadu

I have to collect information from MCI information desk. I compared it with the colleges listed in Tamil Nadu prospectus for 2017-18 admission. I have to make some assumptions where clear information is not available, particularly on the distribution of seats between merit and management quota.

I have assumed that seats in all private colleges are split into 65% merit quota seats and 35% management quota seats. I have also assumed that CMC Vellore will not surrender any seats to state quota and all their 100 seats will be considered as management quota seats. The 100 seats of ESIC Medical College, KK Nagar will be split as 65 merit quota seats, 20 seats for Insured Persons (IP) quota and 15 seats for all India quota.


As you can see, there are 1550 seats under self-financing colleges in Tamil Nadu for the admission year 2017-18. Out of this, 921 seats are reserved for government quota and will be charged about 2.85 lacs to 4 lacs per annum (ESIC medical college, KK Nagar charges only INR 24,000 per year).

There are about 594 seats under management quota in self-financing colleges. Of these, 459 seats will be available at an annual fees of INR 12.5 lacs. 100 seats in Christian Medical College (CMC) Vellore will be available at about INR 23000 per year. 35 seats in IRT Perundurai will be available only to wards of Transport Corporation Employees.

Disclaimer

The information presented here are collected from the web sites of MCI, respective self-financing colleges and prospectus of Tamil Nadu medical admission. We have made few assumptions. We advise the candidates to use the information here as a guidance and do their due diligent check. They are also advised to check the relevant Authorities for regular updates as this information may not be updated regularly.

The remarks regarding recognition for Dhanalakshmi Srinivasan Medical College and Sri Muthukumaran Medical College are as displayed in MCI web site and are correct at the time of posting this article.

The medical admission for 2018 has finally come alive with two latest updates from CBSE. The first update was regarding the suggested change in syllabus for NEET 2018. The second update was regarding the scheduled examination date for NEET 2018. Update #1: Change in syllabus for NEET 2018 On 18 January 2018, The New Indian Express quoted Union Human Resources Development Minister Prakash Javadekar as saying “Today we had a special meeting (on NEET) and we have decided that we will take into account curricula of all State boards while framing the question paper for NEET so that students of State boards are not at any disadvantage from this year.” This statement caused panic and anxiety among NEET aspirants and parents. The candidates were of the opinion that it was too late to effect any changes in the syllabus for NEET 2018. They were afraid that their efforts in preparing for the NEET exam over the last two years could be in vain if there were changes to the exam syllabus at the...

Reservation System in Tamil Nadu Medical Admission - Explained

How does the reservation system works in Tamil Nadu, particularly with reference to medical college admissions? Many candidates don't understand the logic behind the admission and get confused (me too, until I spent time to understand the intricacies of it). First, let us look at what really confuses candidates and parents. Vacancy Status at the end of Day 1 Counseling Here is the vacancy status that is published by Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education, Tamil Nadu as at the end of 1st July 2018 (after the allotment of 40 seats under special category).

CBSE students incompetent to join Tamil Nadu Medical Colleges?

Do you know? From 2013-2015, NO CBSE candidate was given MBBS admission in any government medical college in Tamil Nadu under the 85% state quota. Do you think CBSE students are incompetent compared to Tamil Nadu State Board students? Are they not competent enough to join Tamil Nadu government medical colleges? Can they not match the Tamil Nadu state board students in studying MBBS? I do not know. But, that’s what the Tamil Nadu State MBBS admission statistics from the past three years (2013-2015) reveals. Please read through as I explain the difficulties faced by CBSE students in Tamil Nadu Professional Courses admission. CBSE Students at a disadvantage? Times of India reported in May 2013 that CBSE students are on back foot . The report highlighted that even with very high scores, a CBSE student has little chance of getting a seat for a professional course in a good college in Tamil Nadu. It is no secret that State boards are lavish in providing marks to their students...
