The cut-off for MBBS admissions in government medical colleges has gone up by nearly 100 marks in most categories due to the surge in top scorers in NEET 2019. The first phase of counselling ended on Saturday.
All 3,968 medical seats under the government quota were filled after the weeklong counselling held by the state selection committee. Among dental seats, all seats in the Government Dental College were allotted but 908 government quota seats in self-financing medical colleges were available.
Admission to all medical and dental colleges is conducted by the state committee based on NEET marks and 69% rule of reservation.
Though there is no official release on the cut-offs, estimates as per the round 1allotment data released by the selection committee puts cutoff for open category in government colleges at 525, compared to last year’s 430. The cut-off for BC stood at 474 compared to 375 in round one of 2018. As predicted, the biggest gap was in the BCM and MBC categories where cut-off crossed 112 marks. The cut-off was 460 and 439 for BCM and MBC compared to 348 and 327 in round 1 of 2018. The cut-off for SC, SCA and ST were 364, 303 and 283 respectively. “TN students have improved their scores every year since 2017,” said selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan.
In category B — state-run medical institutions — the cut-off was between 474 (OC) and 270 (ST). Similarly, in the self-financing colleges, the cut-off was between 458 (OC) and 226 (SC). “These cut-offs are likely to go down slightly when students opt for upgrade and seats are returned from the All-India quota. Yet, the difference in cut-off between 2018 and 2019 is likely to be nearly 100 marks,” said Manickvel Arumugam, who has been counselling students on MBBS admissions.
Counselling will continue on Sunday for management quota seats in IRT Medical College and Christian Medical College, Vellore. For two days from Monday counselling will be held for management quota seats in self-financing medical colleges.
