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.

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...

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.

Today, the rank list for MBBS admission in Tamil Nadu will be released. The rank list can be downloaded from either tnhealth.org or tnmedicalselection.org. The counselling is expected to commence from 24 Aug 2017 and might happen over the next week or so. Here, I have compiled the cut-off ranks for the government colleges for 2016-17 session. You may use this as a reference/ guide for your decision making. Tamil Nadu MBBS Cut-off Ranks, 2016-17 Just a small advice. Ignore the round 2 cut-offs as they may not be relevant. Last year, the gap between round 1 and round 2 was about three months. So, many candidates decided to stay with the colleges allocated in round 1 & did not bother to appear for round 2. The situation is completely different this year, as we may not even have round 2.

There is a general feeling that every one in Tamil Nadu is against NEET. Or, at least thats the feeling you get when you switch on the television or you open a newspaper. Is it the true feeling on ground? Is everyone in Tamil Nadu against NEET? Just a short video on NEET and Tamil Nadu.
