Domicile & documents

Eligibility rests on Tamil Nadu nativity together with schooling in the state; TN also runs its own rank list and a large government-school quota.

• • Candidate must establish Tamil Nadu nativity (nativity / permanent residence certificate).
• • Schooling in Tamil Nadu for the qualifying years is normally required.
• • 7.5% horizontal reservation for candidates who studied in GOVERNMENT schools in Tamil Nadu — a substantial and under-claimed advantage.

Documents: Nativity certificate · Permanent residence certificate · Community certificate (state format) · Government-school certificate where claimed · First Graduate certificate where claimed

• ⚠ Tamil Nadu builds its own state rank list from NEET marks — your TN rank is not your AIR, and comparisons across the two are meaningless.
• ⚠ The 7.5% government-school quota is claimed far less often than students are eligible for it. Anyone who studied in a TN government school should check.

State-quota closing ranks · 2024official — the authority's own documents

All ranks are NEET All India Ranks, so they compare directly with the All India Quota. Deeper closings exist in later rounds; treat these as a floor for what became reachable.
