MD Dermatology, Venereology & Leprosy (MD DVL) is one of the most competitive clinical branches in Tamil Nadu NEET PG counselling.

The cutoff for MD Dermatology varies significantly by quota type (Government, Management, NRI), college type (government vs private vs deemed), category (OC, BC, BCM, MBC, SC, SCA, ST), and counselling round. For the 2025 academic session, the Government Quota OC Open closing rank was AIR 31,931, while the Management Quota GEN closing rank was AIR 1,24,222 [citation:2][citation:6]. The BCM category had the most competitive cutoff at AIR 8,090 [citation:3].
