The Centralized Admission Committee (CENTAC) in Puducherry has made available the preliminary seat allotment results for NEET UG 2026 Round 1 counselling across medical and veterinary courses. This draft list covers MBBS, BDS, BAMS (Ayurveda), and BVSc & AH programmes allocated under the National Special Supernumerary (National SS) and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) categories. If you have received an allotment or believe there is an error in your result, you have a narrow window to review and respond before the final allotment is confirmed.
Check your CENTAC draft allotment immediately at centacpuducherry.in and submit any objections or missing certificates by 11 AM on September 3, 2026—this is your only chance to flag issues before final seat confirmation.
What Has CENTAC Released and When
CENTAC released the Round 1 draft seat allotment on September 2, 2026. This is not the final allotment—it is a preliminary list that allows candidates to verify their assigned course, college, and category before the committee processes objections and publishes the confirmed result.
The draft covers four undergraduate medical and health science courses: MBBS, BDS, BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery), and BVSc & AH (Bachelor of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry). Seats are allocated only under two categories: National SS (Special Supernumerary seats reserved for specific groups) and NRI (Non-Resident Indian seats).
How to Check Your Draft Allotment Result
Your allotment result is available on the CENTAC dashboard at centacpuducherry.in. You will need to log in using the same credentials (application number and password) that you registered with during the NEET UG counselling process.
Once logged in, look for the Round 1 Draft Allotment link on your dashboard. Click it to view the course, college, and category assigned to you. Download and save this page for your records—you will need it during the reporting and document verification stage.

The Objection Window: What You Can Challenge and How
If you are unhappy with your allotment, believe there is an error in your data, or have pending certificates that need to be uploaded, you must act before 11:00 AM on September 3, 2026. After this deadline, the objection window closes and CENTAC will proceed to finalize the allotment.
Objections must be filed only through the CENTAC dashboard. The committee will not accept objections sent by email, phone, or in person. Log in to your dashboard, find the objections link under Round 1, and enter your reason with supporting details. If you have certificates that the committee asked you to provide but you have not yet uploaded, you can submit them in the same window.
- Log in to the CENTAC dashboard using your credentials
- Open the objections link listed under Round 1
- Enter the reason for your objection with supporting details
- Upload any pending certificates the committee requested
- Submit before 11:00 AM on September 3, 2026
- Do not send objections by email or in person
Important Note for JIPMER-Allotted Candidates
If you were already allotted a seat under JIPMER (Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research) counselling, you will be removed from the CENTAC Round 1 final allotment. This is standard practice to prevent duplicate allotments across different counselling bodies.
If you have concerns about this removal or believe it was done in error, you must raise an objection through the CENTAC dashboard within the same objection window (by 11 AM on September 3, 2026). After this deadline, you will not be able to challenge the decision.
What Happens After the Objection Deadline
Once the objection window closes at 11 AM on September 3, 2026, CENTAC will review all objections and pending certificates submitted by candidates. The committee will then publish the final Round 1 allotment list, which will replace the draft.
After the final allotment is released, candidates who have been allotted a seat will be notified of the reporting schedule and fee payment window. You will need to report to your allotted college with original documents and pay the admission fee within the specified dates to confirm your seat. Keep checking the CENTAC portal for these announcements.
Practical Checklist for NEET UG Candidates Right Now
Do not delay in checking your draft allotment. Log in to centacpuducherry.in immediately and verify that your course, college, and category are correct. If you spot any error—such as a wrong course code, misspelled name, or incorrect category—note it down.
Gather all original documents you will need for reporting: your NEET admit card, NEET scorecard, 10th and 12th mark sheets, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and any other document CENTAC has asked for. If you have pending certificates, upload them now through the dashboard.
If you are satisfied with your allotment, you do not need to submit an objection. Simply wait for the final allotment and reporting schedule. If you have any doubt or concern, submit an objection before 11 AM on September 3, 2026—it is better to flag an issue now than to face problems later.
Why This Matters for Your MBBS or BDS Journey
The draft allotment stage is your first real glimpse of where you may study medicine or dentistry. It is also your last chance to correct errors or provide missing information before the seat is confirmed. Many candidates miss this window because they assume the draft is final or because they do not check the portal regularly.
A single error—such as a wrong college code or missing certificate—can delay your admission or, in worst cases, result in your seat being cancelled. By acting now, you protect your admission and ensure a smooth transition to the reporting and fee payment stage.
