Counselling for 34 medical seats and 640 dental seats was held on Sunday

Classes will begin on Monday for first-year medical and dental students in all government colleges, said selection secretary G. Selvarajan.

Server crash

On Sunday, the second day of the second round of counselling was held for 34 seats in self-financing medical colleges and over 640 seats in dental colleges.

Counselling was supposed to begin at 2 p.m. but as the server crashed for sometime, counselling was rescheduled for 4 p.m., officials said.

On Saturday, the second phase of counselling began with 10 vacancies in government medical colleges; 11 in Rajah Muthiah Medical College affiliated to Annamalai University; and 60 seats in the management quota in self-financing medical colleges.

There were 20 seats in the government dental college; 44 seats in Annamalai University and 420 seats in self-financing dental colleges. But when counselling began on Sunday, another 200 seats were added, the parents said.

By 8 p.m., all MBBS seats had been taken.

“Though counselling was scheduled for up to the 14,000th rank, when officials announced that all seats had been filled up, people left in droves,” said a parent, whose daughter had participated in the session.

Counselling for medical and dental seats in the State is expected to be completed by Tuesday, Mr. Selvarajan said.

Offering solace:DMK leader M.K. Stalin consoling Shanmugam, the father of Anitha, who committed suicide over her inability to secure an MBBS seat.B. Velankanni Raj

Her father refuses to accept any compensation from the State government until Tamil Nadu is exempted from the ambit of NEET

The family members of Anitha, the medical aspirant who committed suicide on Friday owing to her inability to secure an MBBS seat, have refused to accept Rs. 7 lakh in compensation announced by the State government.

According to sources, the deceased’s father, Shanmugam, politely refused to accept a cheque for Rs. 7 lakh, offered by Collector G. Laxmi Priya and Superintendent of Police Abinav Kumar, when the latter visited his house at Kuzhumur village in Ariyalur district on Sunday to offer their condolences to the bereaved family.

After offering floral tribute to Anitha, Ms. Priya consoled Shanmugam and his four sons. But when she handed the cheque to Mr. Shanmugam, he refused to accept it, saying he will not receive any compensation from the government until the State was exempted from the ambit of the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET) — the cause for which his daughter had fought until her last breath.

“We met the bereaved [family] members. They showed reluctance in accepting the compensation. However, we will wait for some more time,” Ms. Priya told The Hindu .

She said that she had also offered a government job to one of the family members. The nature of the job would be based on the educational qualifications of the beneficiary. “Necessary steps would be taken once they furnish the required information,” the Collector said.

Chief Minister Edapaddi K. Palaniswami had announced relief for the victim’s family after offering his condolences to them.

Mr. Shanmugam had earlier accepted a cheque for Rs. 10 lakh from DMK working president M.K. Stalin, when the latter visited his house to offer condolences on behalf of his party.

Meanwhile, M. Chandrakasi, Member of Parliament, Chidambaram constituency, and R.T. Ramachandran, MLA, Kunnam constituency, also paid a visit and offered condolences to the bereaved.
