The Directorate of Medical Education will commence the counselling process for 85% seats in the medical and dental colleges in Tamil Nadu from August 21, 2024, Health Minister Ma. Subramanian announced in Chennai on Wednesday.

Earlier the National Medical Commission announced that counselling for All India Quota seats would begin on Aug 14. All State governments surrender 15% of the total seats available in their medical colleges to the Directorate General of Health Services which conducts counselling for the surrendered seats besides seats in central government institutions and deemed universities across the country.
The TN Medical Selection Committee will release the merit list on August 19. On August 21, counselling will commence for the general category. For candidates admitted through special reservation such as persons with disabilities, wards of ex-servicemen, sportspersons and for students admitted under the preferential reservation of 7.5% for government school students, admission will be conducted in the physical mode on August 22 and 23, Mr. Subramanian said.
This year no new colleges will be added to the State. Three private medical colleges have been given approval by the NMC. “The seat matrix will be given based on the number of seats the NMC approves and affiliation by Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University”, the minister said.
Last year 625 seats were allocated for students under the preferential reservation for government school students, medical education officials said.
