This article titled “Better NEET Results, Same Seat Count Make Admissions Tougher” was published in Times of India, Chennai edition on 14 August 2018. The article contains some inputs from me on the cut-off for MBBS admission in Tamil Nadu for the year 2018.
under management quota last year i saw people with very low ranks getting… this year around 5000-6000 rank is there a chance to get mbbs seat? as number of seats have also increased…
You have to check which seats were allocated during counseling and which seats were allocated during college level mop up round. Last year, the cutoff for management quota seats went down to Rank 4520 during the counseling. Any candidate you see below this rank in admission could have got through NRI quota or college level mop up round. Since college level mop up round is not controlled by DME, you cannot expect to get admission into this, unless you are ready to pay some “extra” money.
In 2019, the first round cutoff for management quota seats has already gone down to Rank 4902. So, we can expect candidates in the range 5000-6000 to have a good chance in round 2.
