    Nidhi AgarwalUpdated on 10 Jul 2025, 04:12 PM IST

    Every student who aspires to complete an MBBS degree in India has to secure a good rank at the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET). This is what will get you an admission in a medical college of your choice. But if the number of seats increase in a particular college then the minimum rank for admission in that college should increase. Right? But in the case of Tamil Nadu’s deemed medical colleges, the change in the cut-off rank is way higher when the number of seats remain the same than when the seats increase.
