Expected Cut-off for Tamil Nadu MBBS admission 2017

I am getting lots of questions on the expected cut-off for Tamil Nadu MBBS admission 2017.

As you know, Supreme Court has made it clear that admissions to MBBS/ BDS can happen only with NEET marks as the criteria.

Accepting the reality, Tamil Nadu government has released two provisional merit lists; one for merit quota seats (government colleges and self-financing colleges) and another one for management quota seats.

We have, in total, 2445 2652 seats available in government medical colleges under Tamil Nadu state quota. There is an increase of about 127 seats this year, thanks to timely opening of a medical college in Pudukottai. We also have about 57 seats reverted (some reports put the number at 102) back to the state from All India Quota counselling unfilled seats.

Expected Cut-off for Tamil Nadu MBBS admission 2017

I did a quick check and few interesting facts. I have not considered the following in my estimation of cut-off ranks:

(1) Seats that are taken by special category students
(2) I have considered only 2445 2652 seats in government colleges and Annamalai University. I did not include ESIC KK Nagar. Annamalai University and the AIQ reverted seats
(3) I did not consider the seats taken in the All India Quota counselling by Tamil Nadu candidates

So, the cut-offs may come down slightly from what I am forecasting. However, below is my prediction for 2017:



These ranks may come down slightly as I have not considered ESIC KK Nagar, AIQ reverted seats and Annamalai University and candidates who have taken seat through All India counselling. So, I won't be surprised if the cut-off goes down slightly.

These are only my estimates, based on certain assumptions. It may or may not be the true reflection that could happen in the counselling hall.

      It is too late. The applications for Tamil Nadu has closed one week ago. I don't think there is any way to submit your application now.

    If I register only for AIQ seats in Round 1 (and not deemed) of All India Counselling, can I choose to pay for deemed university in round 2?

2 Latest Updates on NEET 2018 from CBSE

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). Figure 1 If you look at the above matrix, there are 757 seats under Open Category (OC), which is 31% of the total seats available. You also can notice, each college has the same kind of distribution of seats using the following reservation system: Open Category (OC)- 31% Backward Community (BC)- 26.5% Backward Community-Muslim (BCM) - 3.5% Most Backward Community (MBC) - 20% Scheduled Caste (SC) -15%...

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...
