The Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education and Research, Tamil Nadu, admits B.Sc Nursing students on Class 12 marks, with no entrance test and no All India rank. The rank shown is the state merit rank of the last candidate who got a seat in that group in that round, and the marks are out of 200. The lists print the community of the candidate, not the category of the seat, so a candidate of a reserved community can also hold an open-competition seat. A candidate who keeps a seat from an earlier round is not counted again. Seats left in one round go to the next, so a later round can close lower.
