Specific heat measurements have been performed in the coupled dimer system TlCuCl$_3$, which has a singlet ground state with the excitation gap $\Delta \simeq 7.5$K. The cusplike anomaly indicative of the 3D magnetic ordering was clearly observed in magnetic fields higher than the critical field $H_c$ corresponding to the gap $\Delta$. The phase boundary determined by the present specific heat measurements coincides with that determined by previous magnetization measurements. The phase boundary can be described by the power law $[ H_{\rm c}(T)-H_{\rm g} ] \propto T^{\phi}$ with $\phi=2.1(1)$. This result supports the magnon Bose condensation picture for the field-induced magnetic ordering in TlCuCl$_3$ [Nikuni {\it et al}., Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 84} (2000) 5868].
