Now coming to your question you can get the domicile of Tamil Nadu if you are born here. It doesn't matter where you have studied. If your parents are Tamilians, you can get a certificate and you can apply through the state quota.

The cut-off marks of any institute vary every year and you can not rely on the previous year data. It is calculated based on the number of students that appear for the exam. It varies for students from the general category or reserved one. 

If you belong to the general category you might want to work a little harder to make it to the list of students eligible for admission. 

In 2019, there were 34 seats for general category students, and the next year, it got reduced to just 26. As the exam carries 200 marks, so roughly we can estimate that the cut-off might be around 165 for the general category. 

You can utilize the time in preparing precisely and solve some papers too. Revising the topics more and more will get you accustomed to the question pattern.

The cut-off in LUVAS varies every year depending on the number of students who appear for the exam. 

  • Before 2020, there used to be a separate exam on the state level for getting into LUVAS but that is not the case now. 
  • The only marks that matter is your NEET marks. Make sure to score well in it. 
  • Roughly, based on 2019 and 2020, the cut-off marks may fall somewhere around 520. Hence, it will be better if you prepare thoroughly and stay on the safer side by scoring above 500. 

It always gets a little challenging for the general category as the cut-off goes higher than for the reserved category. It is smart to plan your study on the same lines.
