CENTAC Puducherry NEET UG 2026 Registration: How to Register for MBBS/BDS Counselling

CENTAC (Centralised Admission Committee), which runs medical and dental counselling for Puducherry under the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, has opened its online Registration page for NEET UG 2026 counselling. This is the very first step candidates must complete before they can apply for MBBS/BDS seats in Puducherry through CENTAC — it creates your login account on the counselling portal. The page itself only covers the registration form and the declarations you must agree to; it does not carry dates, fees or document lists. Those will be in CENTAC's official Brochure and Press Release, which the form itself tells you to read before registering.

What this registration page is for

Before you can apply for an MBBS or BDS seat through CENTAC Puducherry's counselling, you first need to create an account on their portal. This Registration page is that first step — it is separate from choice-filling or document verification, which come later in the counselling process.

This is a one-time step. The notice explicitly warns that details you enter here cannot be changed once submitted, so it is worth double-checking everything before you click Register.

Information you need to fill in

The registration form asks for the following details:

• Name of the candidate — must be entered exactly as it appears on your HSC (12th standard) marksheet
• Father's / Guardian's Name
• Email ID
• Mobile Number
• Password
• Confirm Password

The three declarations you must accept

Before registering, you have to tick three declaration boxes. Read them carefully — they are not just formalities, they carry real consequences:

• You agree to receive SMS and Email messages from CENTAC regarding your admission — this is how CENTAC will notify you about further steps, so make sure your email and mobile number are correct and actively checked.
• You confirm that you have read and understood all information in the Brochure and Press Release — CENTAC expects you to have gone through these official documents (which carry the schedule, eligibility and fee details) before registering.
• You acknowledge that submitting a duplicate application will result in your candidature being cancelled — meaning if you register more than once, you risk losing your chance to be considered at all.

Traps that can cost you your candidature

Because registration details cannot be edited afterward, a few small mistakes here can create big problems later in the process. Watch out for these:

• Name mismatch: Enter your name exactly as printed on your HSC (12th) marksheet. Any spelling difference, missing initial, or different order of names can cause verification problems during document checking.
• No edits after submission: There is no 'edit' option mentioned for registration data. If you make an error, you may need to contact CENTAC directly rather than fix it yourself.
• Duplicate registration: Registering more than once — even by mistake, such as after a failed submission — can lead to cancellation of your candidature. If you are unsure whether your first attempt went through, check before registering again rather than assuming it failed.
• Read the Brochure first: The registration page assumes you have already read the Brochure and Press Release. These documents (not this page) will have the actual counselling schedule, eligibility conditions, seat matrix, and fee structure — none of which is on this registration form.

What this notice does NOT tell you

This registration page is purely a sign-up form. It does not mention registration dates or deadlines, any registration fee, eligibility criteria for MBBS/BDS seats in Puducherry, the list of documents you will need for verification, or the counselling schedule (choice filling, seat allotment, reporting). All of this is expected to be published separately in CENTAC's Brochure and Press Release for NEET UG 2026, which candidates should check on the CENTAC Puducherry website before or right after registering.

Frequently asked questions

Before you register, read CENTAC's official NEET UG 2026 Brochure and Press Release on the CENTAC Puducherry site so you know the schedule, eligibility and documents you'll need later. Then fill the registration form carefully — use your name exactly as on your HSC marksheet, double-check your email and mobile number, and register only once.
