With more than 800 students scoring above 500 marks, the MBBS/BDS admissions for the open category students that began at the Government Multi-speciality hospital at Omandurar on Tuesday saw several happy faces.

The first few cheers came from top 50 performers when they found that nearly nine of the top 20 candidates skipped counselling, possibly because most of them had already been allotted seats in the all India quota.

By the time 100 students were allotted seats, more than a dozen students had skipped counselling.

“I walked into counselling hall thinking my niece may not get a seat in any college in the city because her rank was below 300. However, she has made it to Kilpauk Medical College Hospital,” said S Varadarajan.

Students’ performance in NEET 2019 is likely to push up cut offs by more than 100 points in certain categories. Minutes after OC seats in Madras Medical College (MMC) were exhausted, selection committee used OC seats from Karur and Pudukottai colleges to accommodate high ranking students from BC, MBC, BCM, SCA, SC and ST in MMC.

At the end of the day, all the OC seats in 23 government colleges were filled up and BC seats were filled up in at least colleges, including colleges in Chennai, Madurai and Coimbatore. Some students picked up seats in ESIC colleges, IRT Perundurai and self-financed institutions such as Vellamal Medical College and PSG Medical college. There were 83 vacant seats in government dental college and 1,138 vacant seats in self financing dental colleges.
