Health minister said that a total of 40,200 applications have been received this year, which is about 3,994 more than last year. Out of these, 3,042 applications were received for 7.5 percent government school students, 179 applications for sports category, 401 applications for ex-servicemen category quota and 98 applications for differently abled quota category.
Ma Subramanian said that the counseling is planned to be conducted on July 25th if the Medical Counselling Committee conducts the counselling for the All India Quota seats on July 20th.
Regarding the counselling, health minister said that there is still no official announcement that the Union government will start counselling from 20th July, which was earlier supposed to be on 17th July. He said that the Union Government and the respective State Governments can hold consultations simultaneously. The Director of Medical Education and Selection Committee officials have informed the concerned Union Government officials about the issues involved.
"If the counselling is held at the same time, the students can block the seats in the Union Government and the State Government and it will be a waste of time. It will be good if the state governments can conduct this counselling at a gap of 5 or 6 days after the Union government conducts it. If the Union Government conducts the counselling on the 20th, then we will start the counselling on the 25th July in Tamil Nadu," the minister said.
