Tamil Nadu NEET-MDS closing rank

A closing rank is the rank of the last person who got a seat. These pages show the final figure for each college in the latest complete season on record (Round 1, Round 2 and Round 3; the stray round left out), and this season’s figure so far while counselling is still running. They record what happened in the past. They are not a promise for this year.

GRANK, MQ list rank and NEET-MDS rank: three different numbers

Your NEET-MDS rank is your place among everyone who wrote NEET-MDS. Tamil Nadu does not use it. For Government Quota seats (the government dental colleges and the government seats in self-financing colleges) the Selection Committee draws up its own State Rank list from NEET-MDS marks, with extra weightage marks for eligible in-service candidates; your place on it is your GRANK. For Management Quota seats it publishes a separate, shorter list with its own rank (we call it the MQ list rank). The same person has a different number on each list, so never compare one with another.

Tamil Nadu prints no open-seat flag in its lists, so the open figure here is the OC closing GRANK: the GRANK of the last Open Competition (OC) candidate who got that seat. Management Quota seats have no community reservation. The rules behind both lists are in the Tamil Nadu MDS counselling guide.

What the ₹499 MDS report adds

Here you see only the open figure. The MDS report shows every community’s closing rank college by college, the Christian-minority seats, the older years back to 2020, and a list sorted for your own GRANK and MQ list rank, next to the MCC seats.
