CHENNAI: With Tamil Nadu students faring well in NEET, the cutoff for MBBS courses at government medical colleges might increase by more than 25 marks this year.
Last year, the cut-off for government medical colleges in OC category was 424. For BC and BCM it was 369 and 343. The cut-off for MBC was 323 and SC it was 264 and SC (A) 221. The ST category had lowest cut-off marks and students with 199 marks were able to secure an MBBS seat.
“We expect an increase of 40 marks for BC category this year. At our school alone more than 100 students have scored above 400,” said P Swaminathan, secretary, SRV Schools.
Overall, the 23 government medical colleges have 3,250 seats this year. But, 5,634 students have scored more than 400 in NEET from Tamil Nadu this year; 3,705 have scored between 351 and 400.
“We felt that NEET 2019 is one of the easiest exams for medical aspirants. With the candidates performing well this year, the cutoffs are expected to increase significantly,” Manickavel Arumugam, a blogger who follows medical admissions, said.
The cut-off is expected to increase around 25 marks for all category this year.
The state has around 1,600 seats in 13 self-financing medical colleges. Officials from the directorate of medical education said according to last year’s data, 862 seats were available under government quota and 730 seats were available for management quota.
“We will have around 4,100 seats this year for MBBS counselling. Due to the high scores we can expect increase in the cutoff marks,” an official said.
