Didn't Get a Seat in Tamil Nadu? Consider MBBS Abroad
With only ~3,500 seats across 26 government and 28 private colleges, Tamil Nadu counselling is highly competitive. MBBS abroad at NMC-approved universities offers quality medical education at Rs. 15-40L total — a fraction of Indian private college fees.
