These cutoffs vary annually based on factors such as the number of applicants, seat availability, and overall performance.

For the 2021-2022 session, the cutoff for the Ex-Serviceman category was 301 marks.

Please note that these figures are subject to change each year. To obtain the most accurate and current information, I recommend regularly visiting the official websites of the Tamil Nadu Directorate of Medical Education and the Centralized Admission Committee (CENTAC).
