MBBS, BDS mop-up counselling to be held in TN on Tuesday, Thursday

CHENNAI: The selection committee has announced that a mop-up counselling for admissions to MBBS and BDS courses in Tamil Nadu will be held on Tuesday and Thursday.
The selection committee is still working out the seat matrix for the mop-up round. “We know some students who were allotted or realloted seats hadn’t joined colleges until 5pm on Saturday. Even if it is a small number, we have to fill these seats only through counselling,” said selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan.

Admission to medical colleges in the state was tougher in 2018 compared to that in 2017. The last student to enter a state-run medical college in the state this year had a score of 200 in NEET compared to 161 in 2017. The difference in scores compared to last year was the smallest among ST category (39) and widest among MBS (88). In the OC category, the difference was 42 marks.

Officials said a detailed schedule for mop-up round would be posted on www.tnhealth.org/ www.tnmedicalselection.org.
