Failure to do so will attract a hefty continuation fees

The Selection Committee of the Directorate of Medical Education has instructed candidates wishing to discontinue the course they joined through allotment made by the committee between May 19 and 23 that they can do so before May 25.

Such candidates will not be permitted to attend the subsequent phase of counselling for admission to PG degree/diploma courses in government colleges and government quota seats in self-financing medical colleges.

Candidates who discontinue the course allotted under the State quota after May 25 will have to pay the discontinuation fees of Rs. 15 lakh for PG degree courses and Rs. 10 lakh for PG diploma courses.

Changing quota

If a candidate who has joined the course under the State quota takes a seat under the management quota in a self-financing medical college then the seat held by the candidate will be automatically surrendered to the State quota, selection secretary G. Selvarajan has said.

Of the 1,376 candidates called for counselling on Thursday, including 593 for management quota seats in MDS, 23 were allotted seats in government colleges and 224 candidates were allotted seats in self-financing colleges. Of the 738 candidates who attended the counselling, 490 have been waitlisted.

Candidates who decide not to take the seats, allotted under the State quota, after May 25 will have to pay the discontinuation fees
