The Tamil Nadu government cautioned students against taking medical admission in institutions not granted permission by the Committee set up by it to regulate admissions to professional courses.

The committee has not given permission to any of the associations, institutions and colleges for admission of students for the academic year 2012-2013 for the medical, dental, paramedical and Indian system of medicine courses "till date," an official release said.

The Committee will issue permission and the guidelines to be followed for admission of students to these courses only after Higher Secondary examinations (plus two) are over for the year 2011-2012, it said.

"Admissions shall not be made by any of the institution or by their association, without obtaining prior permission from the Committee," it said adding any admission made without obtaining the permission from the committee shall not be valid.

The release also pointed out that D D Medical College and Hospital, Tiruvallur, has issued advertisement for admission of MBBS course and the admission, if made, shall not be valid.

As per the directions of the Supreme Court, the Government had last year set up the Committee headed by Justice A Abdul Hadi to ensure "fair, transparent and non-exploitative" admissions of students to professional courses for the seats retained by the private, unaided self-financing professional institutions.
