The State Medical Education Admission Committee has stated that there is no change in the state counselling procedure for MBBS and BDS courses, and that Tamil Nadu is already following the amendments proposed by the Central government.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) of the Central government has made some changes to the counselling rules for All India quota seats. As a result, doubts have arisen among students and parents over whether similar amendments will be made to the rules for Tamil Nadu’s state quota seats.
In clarification, the admission committee issued the following announcement:
As far as the certificate verification procedure is concerned, the integrated online process will continue to be implemented in Tamil Nadu as usual. After counseling, original certificates will be verified directly only when the concerned students join the colleges.
Students who do not wish to join the medical seats allotted through counseling must register their rejection applications only online.
Applications to surrender such seats must be submitted only through the Student Admission Committee’s official website, www.tnmedicalselection.org.
The process of students who participated in the first round moving up to seats in the subsequent rounds (upgradation) will continue as usual.
All seats under government quota, management quota, minority quota, and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota will be filled as per the existing procedure.
Official information regarding the medical counseling will be published on the admissions committee website. The notice also states that rumors and misinformation circulating on social media should not be believed.
