CENTAC NEET UG Round 2 Allotment 2026: Puducherry Seat Results & Reporting Deadline

The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) in Puducherry has released the provisional allotment list for Round 2 of NEET UG counselling for the 2026-27 academic year. A total of 933 seats across MBBS, BDS, and BAMS programmes have been allotted to candidates. If you have received an allotment, you must complete your reporting and document verification by 5 PM on September 18, 2026—missing this deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat. This article walks you through the allotment process, reporting venues, fee payment, and key dates you cannot afford to miss.

What Was Allotted in CENTAC Round 2 and How Many Seats?

CENTAC released allotments for 933 seats drawn from a total pool of 1,253 seats offered across three medical and health science courses: MBBS, BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery), and BAMS (Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery). The allotment covers government quota seats, management quota seats, Telugu Minority quota seats, and NRI (Non-Resident Indian) quota seats.

The breakdown shows that MBBS government seats had the highest fill rate, with 421 out of 429 seats allotted. MBBS management quota was fully filled with all 221 seats allotted. BDS government seats saw 114 allotments out of 121 available, while BDS management quota filled 100 out of 130 seats. BAMS government seats allotted 35 out of 44 available. Some categories, particularly BDS Management Telugu Minority and BDS NRI quotas, received no allotments in this round, indicating lower demand or insufficient eligible candidates in those categories.

How to Access Your CENTAC Allotment Order Online

Your allotment order is available on the CENTAC candidate dashboard.

Reporting Venues and Timelines: Where and When to Go

Reporting requirements differ based on your quota category. General allottees (those admitted under open merit or general category seats) must report directly to the Principal of their allotted college. MSP quota allottees (Most Socially and Educationally Backward Classes) must report to the CENTAC office. NRI quota allottees must also report to the CENTAC office but have a specific time window of 10 AM to 3 PM.

All reporting must be completed by 5 PM on September 18, 2026. Reporting begins on September 15, 2026. If you are a general allottee, you have a four-day window (September 15–18) to visit your college. If you are an MSP quota allottee, you must report on September 15 only. NRI quota allottees have the full September 15–18 window but must visit the CENTAC office during office hours (10 AM to 3 PM). Missing your reporting deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your allotment.

Mandatory Fee Payment Before Reporting to College

Fee payment is compulsory before you report to your allotted college. CENTAC allows two payment methods: net banking or NEFT/RTGS (National Electronic Funds Transfer / Real Time Gross Settlement) challan. You can generate the NEFT/RTGS challan directly from your dashboard login page. Once you have paid the fee through either method, you must obtain and retain proof of payment.

During document verification at your college, you will be required to produce this payment proof. Without it, your admission process cannot proceed. If you are unsure of the exact fee amount or payment procedure, log into your dashboard—the fee details and payment instructions are displayed there. Do not wait until the last day to pay; process this immediately after downloading your allotment order to avoid payment gateway delays or technical issues.

• Pay via net banking or NEFT/RTGS challan
• Generate NEFT/RTGS challan from your dashboard
• Retain proof of payment
• Produce payment proof during document verification at college

Fee Exemption for SC, ST, EBC, and Government School Candidates

If you belong to the Scheduled Caste (SC), Scheduled Tribe (ST), or Economically Backward Class (EBC) category and are a resident of Puducherry, you are exempt from paying the tuition fee. Additionally, candidates admitted under the government school reservation category are also exempt from tuition fees. This exemption is automatic and applies to your allotment.

Even though you are exempt from the tuition fee, you must still complete the reporting process and document verification on time. Exemption from fees does not exempt you from the reporting deadline. Verify your exemption status on your dashboard to confirm whether the fee waiver has been applied to your allotment.

• SC, ST, EBC candidates from Puducherry are exempt from tuition fees
• Government school reservation category candidates are exempt
• Exemption is automatic; verify on your dashboard
• Exemption does not waive the reporting deadline

Documents You Must Carry When Reporting to College

When you report to your allotted college, bring original copies of all required documents. These include your NEET UG scorecard, a valid identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID), your downloaded and printed allotment order, and proof of fee payment. Some colleges may also request your 10th and 12th mark sheets, so it is wise to carry those as well.

Arrange these documents in advance and keep them in a safe folder. Do not rely on digital copies alone—colleges require originals for verification and record-keeping. If any document is missing or illegible, your admission process may be delayed or rejected. Double-check the college's website or call their admission office to confirm the exact list of documents required, as some colleges may have additional requirements.

• NEET UG scorecard (original)
• Valid identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID)
• Downloaded and printed allotment order
• Proof of fee payment
• 10th and 12th mark sheets (recommended)

Step-by-Step Action Plan for Allotted Candidates

Follow this checklist to ensure you do not miss any critical step. First, log into centacpuducherry.in immediately and download your Round 2 allotment order. Print it and keep it safe. Second, pay the tuition fee through net banking or NEFT/RTGS challan and save your payment proof. Third, gather all original documents including your NEET scorecard, identity proof, and mark sheets.

Fourth, identify your reporting venue based on your quota category (college for general allottees, CENTAC office for MSP and NRI allottees). Fifth, visit your reporting venue between September 15 and 18, 2026, and complete document verification before 5 PM on September 18. Sixth, complete your joining formalities and obtain your admission confirmation letter from the college. Do not delay any of these steps—the September 18 deadline is absolute and non-negotiable.

What Happens After Round 2? Round 3 and Mop-Up Rounds

If you did not receive an allotment in Round 2 or if you are waiting to upgrade your college choice, CENTAC will conduct Round 3 and a mop-up round. The seat matrix and schedule for these rounds will be announced on the official CENTAC portal at centacpuducherry.in. Keep checking the portal regularly for updates, as these announcements are typically made with short notice.

Candidates who have been allotted seats in Round 2 but wish to participate in Round 3 for a better college option may do so, but this carries the risk of losing their current allotment if they are not selected in Round 3. Carefully weigh this decision before choosing to participate in the next round. The mop-up round is typically the final opportunity to secure a seat, so monitor the portal closely for its announcement and schedule.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During CENTAC Reporting

One of the most common mistakes is missing the reporting deadline. Many candidates assume they have more time or delay reporting due to document collection issues. Remember: September 18, 2026 at 5 PM is the absolute cutoff. If you report even one minute after 5 PM, your seat will be cancelled. Plan your reporting visit at least 2–3 days in advance to avoid last-minute rush.

Another frequent error is not paying the fee before reporting. Some candidates assume they can pay the fee at the college during document verification, but this is not allowed. Fee payment must be completed before you visit the college. Additionally, do not forget to bring your payment proof—without it, the college will not accept your documents. Finally, do not assume your documents are complete; verify the exact list with your allotted college in advance to avoid rejection or delays during verification.

• Do not miss the September 18, 5 PM reporting deadline
• Pay the fee before reporting; do not assume you can pay at college
• Always bring proof of fee payment
• Verify the complete document list with your college in advance
• Bring original documents, not photocopies
• Report to the correct venue based on your quota category
