Tamil Nadu has decided to exempt itself from NEET-2018 for admission to AYUSH courses and, instead, follow single window counselling for admission based on Class 12 marks alone this year.
The decision was taken after health minister C Vijaya Baskar and senior health officials met Chief Minister Edappadi L Palaniswami at the secretariat on Monday. Unlike the Medical Council of India (MCI), which amended the Medical Council of India Act to make NEET as the sole mode of admission, the Indian council sent mere notifications saying NEET was mandatory. No amendment was made to the Indian Council of Medical Act, officials said. “We will go by the conventional method admission based on the Tamil Nadu Admission in Professional Educational Institutions Act, 2006 for admissions this year,” said minister Vijaya Baskar.
The department of Indian medicine will start issuing prospectus for admission by the end of the week, said Indian Medicine commissioner Dr K Senthil Raj. The admission will be done by the selection committee attached to the directorate of Indian Medicine and Homeopathy based on merit in class we and 69% rule of reservation.
The Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University has a list of 32 colleges of Indian medicine but for this year 23 colleges have permission to admit students with 1,460 seats. This includes 390 seats in six government colleges – two in Siddha with 160 seats, and one each in homeopathy (50 seats), Ayurveda (60 seats), Unani (60 seats) and Yoga and Naturopathy (60 seats). Some private self-financing colleges that were charging up to ₹45,000 as fee have made representation to the government and the fee fixation committee seeking increase in fee structure.
