Tamil Nadu Medical Admission Counseling: The Directorate of Medical Education Tamil Nadu (DME Tamil Nadu) has been asked to suspend DME Tamil Nadu Neet UG 2018 Admission Counseling and Admission activities till the CBSE releases revised Rank List based on the extra marks granted to the students by a Madras High Court order.

"All students who had taken NEET in Tamil will now get an additional 196 marks out of 720, whether they had attempted these wrong questions or not," counsel for petitioner, Shaji Chellam, told NDTV.
The court's decision will benefit around 24,000 students, many of whom were anxious about their future. It would also have ramifications for students across the country as it the rankings could be drastically altered.
The petitioner, CPM lawmaker TK Rangarajan, claimed 49 questions were wrong in the Tamil version of the NEET paper and asked that the students be given full marks on these questions. The lawmaker also contended that despite knowing that a petition on the matter was filed and was due for hearing, the CBSE had released the results.
"We found both the questions as well their answers wrong," Shaji Chellam said, citing an instance where "Cheetah was translated as Seetha in Tamil".
