Tamil Nadu Students Secure Medical Seats Under Government School Reservation; Counselling Underway
Seven students from the Madurai regional NEET training centre, part of Tamil Nadu's government Model Schools, secured medical admissions under the 7.5% horizontal reservation for government-school students. The Model Schools aim to support rural government-school students with quality education and exam preparation. Concurrently, Tamil Nadu began in-person counselling for special category and horizontal reservation candidates for MBBS and BDS courses, with 614 seats available. Health Minister K.G. Arunraj addressed concerns over alleged private college fee irregularities, noting investigations are ongoing but evidence is limited.
