Tamil Nadu MBBS Admission 2017: TN health has issued the first seat allotment of Tamil Nadu MBBS 2017 on August 31 in pdf format. Admissions to MBBS and BDS programmes in Government and private colleges located in the state of Tamil Nadu will be done on the basis of NEET 2017 scores. The Tamil Nadu MBBS Merit List has been released on August 23 by the Government of Tamil Nadu. The previously set schedule of the state, as per which admissions should have been concluded by August 31, was disrupted when it tried to opt out of NEET 2017. However, following the Supreme Court order passed on August 22, Tamil Nadu is now required to complete its admission formalities by September 4. This will be for 85% of State Quota seats in Government Medical Colleges and Government Quota seats in Self Financing Private Medical Colleges including the seats surrendered to Government by Rajah Muthiah Medical and Dental College, Annamalai University, Chidambaram and also for the Management Quota seats in Self Financing Private Medical/Dental Colleges including NRI Quota. Therefore, Tamil Nadu MBBS BDS 2017 Admissions will be conducted for 2,502 MBBS seats in 22 government medical colleges, 150 seats in Rajah Muthiah Medical College and 804 seats in 11 self-financing colleges, totalling 3,456 MBBS seats, along with 88 BDS seats in the Tamil Nadu Dental College, 68 in Rajah Muthiah Dental College and 1,045 government seats in self-financing colleges, totalling 1,201 BDS seats, as per the revised seat matrix released on August 23 which can be seen by candidates on this page.
As per the Supreme Court’s directive on NEET in 2016, admissions to MBBS and dental colleges across India will be done on the basis of NEET only. However, prior to this decision, admissions to MBBS and BDS seats in various Government aided Health Sciences Institutes and Private MBBS Health Sciences Institutes/Colleges were on the basis of Class 10+2 marks. This was the system that Tamil Nadu wished to continue with instead of NEET and this is what led to the inordinate delay in admissions this year. Admissions to 85% state quota seats will be done by Selection Committee, Directorate of MBBS Education, Government of Tamil Nadu. Further, admissions to 15% All India Quota will be done by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) under the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).
