Tamil Nadu Reports Vacant Super Speciality Medical Seats Despite NEET-SS Cutoff Reduction
Tamil Nadu faced vacancies in 33 super speciality medical seats reserved for in-service candidates after a stray round of counselling, despite lowering the NEET-SS qualifying percentile from 50 to 30. The Union government agreed to reduce the cutoff and return 40 vacant in-service seats to the State. Officials noted that many sought-after seats were filled by All India candidates, prompting calls for policy changes to allow the State to fill reserved seats independently.
