MBBS rank list in Tamil Nadu: Government school students secure admission in medical colleges overcoming obstacles with determination.
This year’s MBBS rank list in Tamil Nadu, six students from government schools in Madurai secured admission in different medical colleges under the 7.5% reservation allotted for government school students.
Though many of them have cleared in their second or third attempts, their achievement is still to be cherished and celebrated, owing to their family situation and their will to overcome obstacles.
One such student, P. Varshini Meenakshi, who completed her Class XII in a government school at Palanganatham, armed only by her grit and confidence, chased her dream of medical education by training herself for NEET.
Failing for two times did not stop her from attempting for a third time. She studied hard with more confidence of knowing the weak spots where she had to focus. Training herself with government-released question papers and under her school teachers, she scored 574 marks out of 720.
This secured her an MBBS seat at Madurai Medical College. Ms. Meenakshi said the success was possible only because of her parents who believed in her for three-long years.
“Failing this time would have cost three years of my prime life, but it was only on the belief of my parents that this success was built,” she said.
She expressed her willingness to gain expertise in obstetrics and gynaecology after five years.

“Through several targeted attacks against the minorities in the name of religion, the BJP and the Sangh Parivar organisations are on a mission to fragment the State into religious segments,” said Viduthalai Chiruthaigal Katchi (VCK) leader and MP Thol. Thirumavalavan. He headed the protest organised by VCK here on Monday against the BJP and Sangh Parivar organisation for inciting violence based on religion. Speaking there, he said, “The RSS’s plan is specifically to turn Hindus into paupers and the Sangh Parivar organisations through intimidating the minorities, have been trying to incite communal frenzy in the State.”
