In 2020, the Tamil Nadu government introduced the 7.5 per cent quota for admission of students from government schools in state-run medical colleges and self-financing medical colleges. The entire fee for these students including that of hostel and mess will be borne by the government. Last week, 719 NEET-qualified candidates were given MBBS and BDS seat allotment orders under the quota in the presence of health minister Ma Subramanian. Ten students were allotted seats at the government medical college in Trichy.
