Not TNREGI net but you can declare your wish to the D.M & H.O.. Consult the Hq.Hospital.

My concern is
If I submit declaration to medical college hospital, the body or cadaver can be given only to that particular medical college.
In case my death happened at out of station, (away from the medical college where I have given declaration) my intention to Donate will have no value because the medical college in that location will not accept while the donation is intended to local medical college. (Moreover body should be donated within 6 hours of death for medical conditions).
I understand the living WILL is only for medical treatment and not for body donation.
Therefore, I was expecting universal declaration and registration in Govt registration department..
The central Govt organisation NOTTO and State Govt institution SOTTO are accepting universal donation declaration only for organ donation. But not for body donation.
So
I expect the veterans to kindly guide me on this to execute my intention and make it legalised

The form can be obtained in the “Dept of Anatomy”. The potential donor must fill the form, attach their photographs, and it needs the consent of potential donor and his/ her near relatives in the form of signatures or thumbprint.
During lifetime, a person can pledge for organ donation by filling up a donor form in the presence of two witnesses, one of whom shall be a near relative. The organ donor form could be obtained from ORBO either personally or through mail.
There is no upper age limit. Next of kin/guardian/person in lawful possession of the body of the deceased can donate the body of the deceased, even though the deceased is not a registered donor. You have to contact the Anatomy Department for the same to donate their body.7

If there is provision in law to solve your desire then you may have to follow the existing law on the subject.
You are aware of all the stipulations but despite that you are asking for a solution which may not be found by the prescription of law of the land.
Therefore you have to abide by the existing rules only if your intention is that.

Presumably it is a time pass or examination hall post.
