MBBS admissions: Counselling for management seats on Jul 30

Chennai:24.07.2018
The state health department will conduct counselling for MBBS/BDS admission to 516 management quota seats in self-financing colleges including Vellore-based Christian Medical College for two days from July 30.
This is the first time CMC will take part in the state’s single window counselling where admissions will be based on NEET scores. However, CMC will admit only 12 students in the open category and reserve 84 for those referred by a network of churches and three students from the SC/ST category. Other colleges have surrendered between 35% to 50% of their seats.
In a related development, the Directorate General of Health Services is yet to announce dates for the round 2 of counselling. Counselling was put on hold after the Madurai bench of the Madras high court directed the CBSE to award a grace mark of 196 to all students who appeared for NEET 2018 in Tamil after it found that 49 questions were either wrong or unclear. By the time verdict was stayed by the apex court, another court in Nagpur ordered stay.
The DGHS webpage is yet to announce fresh dates for counselling and has advised candidates to keep checking the official website for latest updates.
State state selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan said intimation regarding the reschedule of second phase of counselling will be announced if the DGHS returns vacant all-India quota seats in government colleges. “We filled all government quota seats in round1,” he said.
Arrange separate counselling for Tamil NEET students, says NGO
In view of the Supreme Court stay and notice on the NEET Tamil paper, Tech4All, an NGO, has demanded for a separate round of counselling for affected students to give them a fair chance at admissions and for a committee to be formed with stakeholders concerned.
The NGO said for the top bunch of students who wrote the Tamil paper and who would have originally been eligible for the first round of counselling, additional seats could be created. “Even if five to 10 seats for 30 colleges in the state can be created, they could try accommodating the top eligible students who would miss out on a fair chance of admissions. A separate counselling must be held for these students,” said founder of the NGO Ramprakash.
