The students face disadvantage as the rank list has not arrived yet, because of which they remain unable to calculate their chances based on their ranks and number of seats.

Few students approached the state selection committee and the directorate of medical education to seek information regarding the release of the rank list.

The selection committee secretary Dr G Selvarajan told the
TOI
, "We will be able to release it only when the NTA releases it to the state." He further informed that the nativity and other relevant certificates will be verified. The list will be issued as soon as it will be given to the state.

The students were in difficulties last year as well when the Tamil Nadu did not release the state rank in 2018. The students, out of confusion did not lock seats in deemed universities with a hope of getting admission at least in self-financing colleges in the state.

By the time, the students who had no idea of their chances of admission in the state would lock their seats under round 1 of all India quota, unable to claim high-rank seats.

However, they can choose to go for the second round but will have to be cautious regarding their choices of seats.
