MBBS Admissions in Tamil Nadu 2025 Delayed

MBBS Admissions in Tamil Nadu 2025 Delayed as Seat Increase Awaits Review

The authority plans to start the second round of UG counselling for 2025 around August 29, 2025. This start date is likely to change. This round includes the recently approved MBBS seats. The updated schedule for Round 2 will be available soon. 

More than twelve private medical schools in Tamil Nadu are planning to increase their MBBS offerings by 50 to 150 seats during the second round of undergraduate medical admissions.

Additionally, each of the four reputable universities may add 100 seats. With this, Tamil Nadu would have 1,750 new undergraduate medical spots available.

Both parents and students will benefit from this increase. However, the temporary suspension of this year's admissions process has left teachers disappointed.

The National Medical Commission manages medical education in India. The medical advisory group of the Directorate General of Health Services has stated that admissions are on hold and requests from colleges across the country are under review.

On August 23, the committee said that they are still trying to add MBBS seats for the 2025 academic year. Round 2 of UG counselling for 2025 which will include these new seats should begin around August 29, 2025. The updated schedule is coming soon.

Right now there's no new update. And State selection committee officials mentioned that they can't share the revised schedule until they get details from the central committee.

Along with 15% of seats in government colleges, the central committee also controls all seats at deemed universities and central institutions. A senior official on the selection committee noted that state counselling always comes after central committee counselling.
