Number of medical, dental seats announced

Chennai: The director of medical education, Dr S. Geethalakshmi, announced the number of MBBS and BDS seats for government colleges for the new academic year on Thursday. The medical officials also explained the new system of ‘random number selection’ to solve the problem of admission if several students get the same rank.

According to the directorate, a total of 2,655 MBBS seats are available across the state’s government colleges, of which 398 seats are allocated to the all India quota and 2,257 seats to the state quota. The government dental college, Chennai, has a total of 100 seats of which 15 are under the all India quota and 85, state quota.

On the matter of several students getting the same rank, the authorities said they will first look at the students’ Biology mark. If that is similar, then their Chemistry marks will be taken into consideration, followed by their Mathematics marks. If all their marks are the same, then the students will be chosen by their date of birth.

If students have the same date of birth then the last resort would be a random selection of students on the list. The officials at the directorate of medical education announced that the merit list for MBBS and BDS courses will be announced on June 15.
