The names of at least 100 MBBS students from Tamil Nadu figuring in rank lists of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka were discussed and debated by medical aspirants during the MBBS counselling on Tuesday, as well as on social media. Officials clarified that while applying in two states was not prohibited, students shouldn’t claim nativity in two states.
This year, 31,353 students applied to the state selection committee for 3,968 MBBS seats in government quota and 852 seats in management quota. Among the applicants, 29,101 were native students who studied from Class VI to Class XII here and about 2,096 were natives studied outside the state.
Besides this, 156 students are natives of other states who completed their Class VI to Class XII here.
“While the students in the first two categories can opt for seats in any category after proving their nativity and community, students from other states will be able to use their domiciliary status to apply for only open category seats,” said selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan. Students who are not Indian citizens but have studied in Tamil Nadu from Class VI to Class XII can also apply under the same category as an overseas citizen of India, he said.
Students and parents raised a furore on Tuesday because a line from the 2018 prospectus was deleted in the current year’s edition.
In 2018, the prospectus the state released read, “Even if he/she got an option to apply in more tha one state, and if the candidate applies in Tamil Nadu, as native of Tamil Nadu, he/she cannot apply in any other state showing that state as native.”
This year’s prospectus said candidates belonging to other states residing in TN cannot claim nativity of TN and they will be considered under OC. It also said: “The other state candidates who are not native of TN and have studied from standard VI to XII in Tamil Nadu will be considered under OC.” Students and parents wanted to know if this meant that students from other states can apply to TN institutions even if they had not studied here.
