Rank list for MBBS/BDS seats for the academic year 2016-17 was released today. The counselling will begin on 20th of this month. A total of 2,853 MBBS seats will be available at the government medical colleges and through seats surrendered by self-financing colleges for students this year. 

Of the 26,017 applications received by the DME, 25,814 applications were found eligible and taken for generation of random number. Random number was released on 13th June. Students could check their random numbers on the websites www.tnhealth.org and www.tn.gov.in by entering their acknowledgement registration (AR) number.
 
The cut-off for admission is calculated based on the percentage of marks secured by a candidate in Biology (100), Chemistry and Physics (100). In the event of a tie, candidates with higher marks in Chemistry get preference. If many students have the same scores, then the percentage in the fourth optional subject is taken into account. When many candidates are tied at one score even after this method, weightage is given to seniority in age, based on the date of birth. If a tie continues even after this exercise, the random number would be used.
