More than 150 MBBS seats, of the 550 surrendered by Tamil Nadu for admission under all India quota, have remained vacant after two rounds of counselling and will be included in the second round of counselling in the state along with vacant seats in self-financing institutions.
There were 146 seats in government medical colleges, 48 in the three category B institutions run by the government and 69 in self financing medical colleges for the second round that is set to begin on Tuesday Of the seats TN surrendered this year, only 10% of those allotted confirmed their seats though 30% joined the college after the first round . Now, at the end of the second round, nearly 25% of seats are still vacant.
The selection committee is yet to formally announce the number of seats. “The late date for students to join colleges allotted to them during the second round ended on July 25. We have asked deans of all medical colleges to write to us. We are yet to compile data,” said selection committee secretary G Selvarajan.
Though the returned seats may come as a boon to those awaiting admission, counsellors and parents say unless the Centre changes the process many seats will be returned. In 2018, the Centre returned 98 seats to TN compared to 107 in 2017. “There are about eight seats in Madras Medical College. Many allotted seats in round 1 will opt for an upgrade. There will be confusion,” said R Sathya Narayana, whose son is awaiting medical admission.
Health department sources said health secretary Beela Rajesh has asked the Tamil Nadu Dr MGR Medical University to take “an appropriate decision” to include Sri Muthukumaran Medical College. The university earlier withheld affiliation to the college as CMDA issued lock, seal and demolition notice to more than 14 buildings including seven blocks, that house a library, hostels and residential quarters for doctors and nurses. The health department did an inspection and the management said it would set right all deficiencies in three months. If approved, 150 more seats will be added to the seat matrix.
Each year, every state surrenders 15% of MBBS seats in state-run colleges for admission of students from across the country. Tamil Nadu surrendered more than 550 seats this year
