Chennai: Monday saw the last round NEET (National Eligibility Entrance Test) counselling for filling the leftover seats in BDS programmes across the state. A total of 601 seats under management quota in self-financing colleges and 8 seats from two government colleges in the state fell vacant as on date.
In total, about 31 students were allotted seats on Monday's counselling which continued without a hitch at the Tamil Nadu Government Multi-Super-Speciality Hospital at Omandurar, for admission into dental colleges; which followed the counselling for MBBS seats which originally kicked off August 24 and concluded its first and second phase of counselling last week.
This continued even in the backdrop of state-wide protests erupting over the recent suicide of medical aspirant Anitha. Despite student unions raging against the examination and parents expressing worry over the inflamed situation in the state, the counselling process wrapped up without any incident. Monday also saw the commencement of first day of classes for the undergraduate MBBS students in the state. "We have been worried that it may not be ideal for the children to start classes around the time of all these protests," says Banumathy Giridhar, whose daughter is set to begin BDS course at a college in the city.

The status quo remains the same with social media too continuing to explode with debate from students and protesters alike on the situation for poorer medical aspirants in the state, and carrying on with counselling even while NEET is being questioned with yet another appeal made to the SC for exempting the state from the exam permanently.
Opposing statements too, took to Twitter. "Please don't oppose NEET. Just demand for improvement in our State board curriculum," tweeted Adithya, a student on Monday.
