Tamil Nadu MBBS Cutoff 2025 for Government Colleges: What to Expect and How to Aim High

Hoping for a seat in one of Tamil Nadu’s top government medical colleges? The NEET UG 2025 cutoffs will be the deciding factor, especially with over 22+ lakh aspirants nationwide and Tamil Nadu’s competitive state quota. For government MBBS seats, cutoffs are the minimum NEET scores needed to qualify for admission under categories like OC (Open Category), BC (Backward Class), and others.
In 2025 cut-offs and closing scores dropped versus 2024. ‘650+’ is not the benchmark this year.

2025 Reality Check: State-quota closings dropped sharply vs 2024 (by ~100+ marks in some categories). In Round-1, an OC (General) seat was allotted in the ~530s, not 650+. Because later rounds can shift closings by a few marks, always check the latest round-wise allotment PDFs on the Selection Committee (DME Tamil Nadu) portal before finalizing choices.

At VVT Coaching Centre in Chennai, Tamilnadu, we’ve guided over 1000+ students to beat these cutoffs through our AI-powered tests and personalized plans. This guide, based on fresh data, covers 2025 expectations, 2024 actuals, college-wise breakdowns, and VVT tips to help you or your child hit the mark, solving the “what score do I need?” worry with clear paths forward.

2025 Expectations: Lower Closings, Smarter Choices 

• Trend: Cutoffs are lower than 2024, not higher.
  Example: state-quota OC last seat ~538 vs ~651 last year.
  
• What can still change: Subsequent counselling rounds often nudge cutoffs up or down, especially where seats remain vacant. Track the latest round-wise PDFs on the DME Tamil Nadu portal.
  
• How to track: Watch the Selection Committee – DME Tamil Nadu page for each round’s official allotment PDFs and dates.

About the 7.5% Govt-School Quota: This horizontal reservation (in force since 2020) continues; government-school students have dedicated seats each year under this policy.
