TN seeks retention of in-service quota for super-specialty in Round 2
Chennai: Health Minister Ma Subramanian sought the intervention of Union health minister J P Nadda to ensure that all 50% of seats earmarked for in-service candidates under the state quota are retained and made available in Round 2 of state-level NEET super-specialty counselling. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The first round of counselling for admission to super-specialty courses such as cardiology, nephrology, neurology, urology, cardiac, and vascular surgery, conducted by the medical counselling committee under the directorate general of health services (DGHS), ended on May 27. As per the Supreme Court order, Tamil Nadu reserved 50% of seats in these courses in govt medical colleges of the state exclusively for govt doctors (in-service candidates). While only 30% of candidates took the seats allotted to them, more than 70% of the 215 seats were vacant, officials said. While the state does not have adequate candiates qualified to join the course, officials said the Centre must consider in-service candidates if and when they reduce percentile scores in the subsequent rounds. On May 29, the state selection committee formally requested DGHS to indicate the dates for the second round of counselling to allow the upgradation of seats for in-service candidates. "However, it has come to our notice that the process of surrendering the unfilled in-service seats to the All-India Quota is being considered, without conducting the mandatory second round of counselling at the state level. Such a move would effectively deprive our in-service candidates of their rightful opportunity to upgrade or participate in further counselling and would be contrary to the spirit and intent of the Supreme Court's order," Subramanian wrote. He urged Nadda's intervention to ensure that all 50% of seats earmarked for in-service candidates under the state quota are retained and made available in Round 2 of counselling.

Fresh round for 51k paramedical seats in Gujarat likely after NEET results are announced
Ahmedabad: The registration and PIN distribution process for admissions to more than 51,000 seats in nine paramedical courses, including BSc nursing, recently concluded in Gujarat. A total of 31,779 students purchased the PIN, out of which 30,851 completed the registration, and 25,939 completed document verification. With NEET 2025 results still pending, there's a strong possibility that the admission committee may reopen registrations to accommodate students who may not secure seats in NEET-based courses. Admissions to general nursing and midwifery (GNM), auxiliary nurse midwifery (ANM) programmes, and bachelor's degree courses like nursing, optometry, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, orthotics & prosthetics, audiology & speech-language pathology, and naturopathy & yogic sciences are granted based on Class 12 science results, excluding the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) scores. Currently, there are 1,104 colleges across the state offering 51,331 seats in total. As NEET results are still awaited, many students uncertain about securing admissions to MBBS, BDS, ayurveda, or homeopathy courses may look to enter para-medical programmes. The initial registration window closed on June 11. However, if many NEET candidates look to shift to para-medical courses, a second registration round may be needed. Even if all current registered candidates are allotted seats, over 20,000 seats are expected to remain vacant. Despite this, several institutions have applied for approvals to open new nursing colleges. These, once approved, will add further seats to the admission pool before the final allotment process.
