The Centralized Admission Committee (CENTAC) in Puducherry has made available the preliminary seat allotment for NEET UG 2026 Round 1 counselling, covering MBBS, BDS, BAMS (Ayurveda), and BVSc & AH programmes under the National Special Supernumerary (National SS) and Non-Resident Indian (NRI) categories. Candidates who have registered for CENTAC counselling can now view their draft allotment on the official portal and have a limited window to raise objections or submit missing documents. This is a critical step in the admission process—understanding how to check your allotment and when to file objections can directly affect your final seat confirmation.
Check your CENTAC draft allotment immediately at centacpuducherry.in and file any objections or upload pending certificates by 11 AM on September 3, 2026, or you may lose the chance to correct errors before final allotment.
What Is the CENTAC Draft Allotment and Why Does It Matter?
The draft allotment is a preliminary list showing which seat, college, and course category you have been provisionally assigned based on your NEET rank, preferences, and eligibility. It is not your final seat—it is a snapshot that allows you to verify accuracy and raise concerns before the final allotment is locked in.
For NEET UG aspirants in Puducherry, this draft stage is your only formal opportunity to flag errors, missing documents, or category mismatches. Once the final allotment is released, corrections become much harder. The draft allotment covers four medical and allied health courses: MBBS, BDS, BAMS, and BVSc & AH, across two admission categories (National SS and NRI).
How to Check Your CENTAC NEET UG 2026 Draft Allotment
Checking your allotment is straightforward and requires your registration credentials. You will need the application number and password you created during the initial CENTAC registration. The portal is live at centacpuducherry.in.
Follow these steps: visit the official CENTAC portal, locate and click the link for UG-NEET Round 1 Draft Allotment, log in using your application number and password, and view your allotted course, college, and category on the dashboard. Download and save a copy of your allotment page for your records and for the reporting stage that follows.

Understanding Your Draft Allotment: What Each Column Means
Your draft allotment will display your assigned course (MBBS, BDS, BAMS, or BVSc & AH), the college where you have been allotted, and the category under which you have been admitted (National SS or NRI). It is essential to verify that all three match your expectations and your eligibility.
If you applied for MBBS but are allotted BDS, or if the college is not one you ranked highly, or if the category is incorrect, you have grounds to file an objection. Similarly, if you notice that your name, application number, or other personal details are wrong, flag this immediately.
The Objection Window: What You Can Challenge and How
The objection window closes at 11:00 AM on September 3, 2026. This is a hard deadline—objections submitted after this time will not be accepted. You must file objections only through the CENTAC dashboard; the committee does not accept objections via email, phone, or in-person submission.
Common grounds for objection include: incorrect course or college allotment, category mismatch, missing or incomplete documents that affect your eligibility, and personal information errors. When you file an objection, you must provide a clear reason and supporting details. The committee will review your objection and may modify your allotment in the final list if your concern is valid.
- Incorrect course or college allotment
- Category mismatch (National SS vs. NRI)
- Missing or incomplete verification documents
- Personal information errors (name, application number, etc.)
- Eligibility concerns
How to File an Objection on the CENTAC Portal
Filing an objection is a dashboard-based process. Log in to your CENTAC account using the same credentials you used to check your allotment. Once logged in, you will see an 'Objections' link under Round 1. Click it to open the objection form.
In the form, clearly state the reason for your objection and provide supporting details. If the committee has asked for pending certificates (such as a caste certificate, domicile certificate, or medical fitness report), you can upload them in the same window. Submit your objection before 11:00 AM on September 3, 2026. After submission, you will receive a confirmation; save this for your records.
- Log in to the CENTAC dashboard with your credentials
- Click the 'Objections' link under Round 1
- Enter the reason for your objection with full details
- Upload any pending certificates requested by the committee
- Submit before 11:00 AM on September 3, 2026
- Save the confirmation receipt
Important Note for JIPMER-Allotted Candidates
If you have already been 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 because JIPMER is a separate, centralized counselling process, and dual allotments are not permitted.
If you believe this removal is an error—for example, if you withdrew from JIPMER or if there is a data mismatch—you must raise an objection through the CENTAC dashboard within the same objection window. Provide clear evidence of your withdrawal or the nature of the error so the committee can investigate.
What Happens After the Objection Deadline?
After 11:00 AM on September 3, 2026, the objection window closes and the CENTAC committee will review all objections received. The committee will then release the final Round 1 allotment list, which will incorporate any corrections or changes based on valid objections. You should monitor the CENTAC portal regularly for the final allotment announcement.
Once the final allotment is released, you will be given a reporting schedule and a fee payment window. You must report to your allotted college on the specified date with all original documents and pay the admission fee to confirm your seat. Failure to report or pay within the deadline may result in forfeiture of your seat.
