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.
