Hey Asmitha! For MD Anaesthesiology in Tamil Nadu government medical colleges under the OBC category, the competition is quite high. Based on previous years’ data, top government colleges like Stanley Medical College and Kilpauk Medical College, Chennai usually close around rank 11,000–12,000 for OBC, while other colleges like Madurai, Thanjavur, or Dharmapuri close around 15,000–16,000. With this in mind, you need a strong NEET PG score, typically above 550, to have a realistic chance. If your score is lower, getting Anaesthesia in these top government colleges will be difficult.
You can also consider other specializations such as General Medicine or Emergency Medicine, where cut-offs may be slightly lower. Make sure to check official Tamil Nadu counselling updates during seat allotment, because sometimes seats remain vacant in later rounds, which could help. Focus on maximizing your score, stay updated with counselling trends, and keep backup options ready in case your preferred college or branch doesn’t open up.
