Service Bond and Stipend in Tamil Nadu

Before locking your choices, check the service bond and stipend of the colleges you are considering. Bond conditions and stipend amounts differ by state and by college type. See the state-wise service bond for NEET PG and the state-wise NEET PG stipend pages for a comparison.

How to Use the Seat Matrix for Choice Filling

• Check branch-wise seat availability: Review how many seats are available in your preferred MD/MS specialisation across different colleges.
• Shortlist colleges based on preference: Prepare a list of colleges according to factors such as branch, location, fees, stipend, bond requirements and hospital exposure.
• Compare Government and Private colleges: Check the seat distribution, tuition fees and quota type before adding a college to your choice list.
• Arrange choices in the correct order: Place your most preferred college and branch combinations at the top, followed by other suitable options.
• Use previous-year cutoff trends: Compare your NEET PG rank with previous counselling cutoffs to understand which colleges and branches may be realistic options.
• Include a balanced set of choices: Add ambitious, realistic and comparatively safer options to increase your chances of getting a suitable seat.
• Check quota and category eligibility: Make sure the seats you select are available under the quota and reservation category applicable to you.
• Review the latest round-wise seat matrix: Seat availability can change after every counselling round, so always check the latest matrix before filling or locking choices.
• Fill enough choices: Avoid limiting your list to only a few colleges. Adding more acceptable college-branch combinations can improve your chances of allotment.
• Verify everything before locking: Recheck the order of preferences, branch, college, quota and seat availability before final submission.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Relying on an old seat matrix instead of the current round’s matrix.
• Assuming deemed university seats are part of Tamil Nadu DMER counselling.
• Treating DM/M.Ch seats as NEET PG seats.
• Not keeping community and nativity certificates ready before registration.
• Missing the choice-locking or reporting deadline.
• Ignoring the service bond and stipend before choosing a college.
