Unlock My College ListWhat is this allotment list?
This is the provisional allotment list released by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee for DNB broad-speciality postgraduate courses in the 2026-27 session. The list shows candidates who have been selected and assigned seats at government headquarters hospitals across Tamil Nadu based on their merit rank, community category, and eligibility under the service quota.
The allotment includes both Post MBBS courses (such as General Medicine, Paediatrics, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and Orthopaedic Surgery) and Post Diploma courses (such as Radio Diagnosis and Paediatrics). This is a provisional list, meaning it is subject to document verification and confirmation. Candidates must not assume their seat is final until they have completed all verification steps and formally joined the college.
Who has been allotted and where?
A total of 11 candidates have been allotted seats in this provisional list. The allotments span multiple government headquarters hospitals across Tamil Nadu, including Cuddalore, Erode, Pollachi, Chidambaram, and Padmanabhapuram (Kanyakumari district). Each candidate has been assigned to a specific hospital and a specific course based on their rank and the availability of seats in that specialty and location.

Understanding the allotment details
Each row in the allotment list contains several key pieces of information. The 'Merit Rank' (GRANK) is your position in the overall merit order based on your NEET-PG score and eligibility. The 'Application No' is your unique identifier in the counselling system. Your 'Community' category (BC, SC, MBC&DNC, BCM) determines which quota seats you are eligible for. The 'Service' column indicates that all allotted candidates in this list have been selected under the service quota, meaning they have fulfilled the service eligibility criteria set by Tamil Nadu.
The 'T.MARK' (Total Mark) is your score in the NEET-PG examination or the counselling merit calculation. The 'Allotted To' column shows both the course type (Post MBBS or DNB 2 years Diploma) and the specialty (such as General Medicine, Paediatrics, etc.), along with the specific government hospital where you have been allotted. It is critical that you verify all these details match your application and eligibility before proceeding to document verification.
What is 'Provisional' status and what happens next?
The list is marked as 'Provisional', which means your allotment is not yet final. This is a standard step in the counselling process. Your allotment becomes confirmed only after you complete the following steps: (1) verify that your name, application number, and allotted course/hospital are correct; (2) submit all required original documents for verification at your allotted hospital; (3) pass the document verification process; and (4) formally join the course by the deadline set by the authority.
If any information on the list is incorrect, or if you have not received your allotment letter, you must contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (DME) immediately with your application number and proof of registration. Do not delay — the authority will set a strict deadline for document verification and joining, and missing it will result in forfeiture of your seat.

Key dates and deadlines you must know
The allotment list was released on 05 November 2026. However, this notice does not specify the deadline for document verification or the date by which you must join your allotted college. You must immediately check the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website (tnmedicalselection.net) or contact the DME office for the exact dates of document verification and joining.
Typically, after an allotment list is released, candidates are given 3–7 days to report for document verification. Missing this deadline will result in automatic cancellation of your allotment and forfeiture of your seat. Do not assume you have time — act immediately upon seeing your name on this list.
- Allotment list released: 05 November 2026
- Document verification deadline: Check official website immediately (not specified in this notice)
- Joining deadline: Check official website immediately (not specified in this notice)
Documents you will need for verification
When you report for document verification at your allotted hospital, you must bring all original documents along with photocopies. The exact list of required documents will be specified in the joining letter or on the official website, but typically includes: MBBS degree certificate or provisional certificate, NEET-PG admit card and score card, community/caste certificate (if applicable), service certificate (since all allotted candidates are under the service quota), identity proof (Aadhaar, PAN, passport), and any other documents specified by the authority.
Pay special attention to the service certificate. Since all candidates in this allotment list have been selected under the service quota, your service certificate must be valid and must clearly show that you have completed the required period of service as per Tamil Nadu regulations. If your service certificate is incomplete, expired, or does not meet the criteria, your allotment will be cancelled. Verify the validity and correctness of your service certificate well before the verification date.
- MBBS degree certificate (original + photocopy)
- NEET-PG admit card and score card (original + photocopy)
- Community/caste certificate, if applicable (original + photocopy)
- Service certificate showing completion of required service period (original + photocopy) — CRITICAL for all allotted candidates
- Identity proof: Aadhaar, PAN, or passport (original + photocopy)
- Any other documents as specified in the joining letter
Understanding the service quota and eligibility
All 11 candidates in this allotment list have been selected under the 'Service' quota. This means they have fulfilled Tamil Nadu's service eligibility criteria — typically, this requires that a candidate has completed a specified period of service (often 2–3 years) in a government medical institution or as a government doctor in Tamil Nadu after completing their MBBS degree. The service quota is a separate category from the general merit quota and is reserved for doctors who have served the state.
If you are one of the allotted candidates, your service eligibility has already been verified during the counselling process. However, you must bring your original service certificate to the document verification stage to confirm that the service period is still valid and has not expired. If your service period has ended or if there is any discrepancy in the certificate, inform the verification committee immediately.
Community categories and reservation
The allotment list shows candidates from various community categories: BC (Backward Class), SC (Scheduled Caste), MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class and Denotified Community), and BCM (Backward Class Muslim). These categories are part of Tamil Nadu's reservation policy for postgraduate medical admissions. Each category has a separate merit list and a separate set of reserved seats. Your allotment has been made based on your merit rank within your community category and the availability of seats in your chosen specialty and location.
If you belong to a reserved category, ensure that your community certificate is valid and has been issued by the competent authority. The certificate must clearly state your community and sub-group (if applicable). An invalid or expired community certificate will result in rejection during document verification, and your allotment will be cancelled.
- BC (Backward Class)
- SC (Scheduled Caste)
- MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class and Denotified Community)
- BCM (Backward Class Muslim)

Post MBBS vs. Post Diploma courses — what's the difference?
This allotment list includes both Post MBBS and Post Diploma DNB courses. Post MBBS courses are for candidates who have completed their MBBS degree and are pursuing a broad-speciality postgraduate qualification (such as MD or DNB) directly after MBBS. Post Diploma courses are for candidates who have already completed a diploma qualification (such as a 3-year diploma in a specialty) and are now pursuing a 2-year DNB diploma in another specialty or the same specialty at a higher level.
In this list, candidates allotted to 'DNB 2 years Diploma' courses (such as Prasanna M in Radio Diagnosis, Yamini Sri KK in Paediatrics, and Mohamed Rizwan in Paediatrics) are pursuing Post Diploma qualifications. Candidates allotted to 'Post MBBS' courses (such as Dhinesh Kumar in General Medicine, Harsheetha R in Paediatrics, etc.) are pursuing their first postgraduate qualification after MBBS. Ensure you understand which type of course you have been allotted to, as the eligibility criteria and course structure differ.
Specialties offered in this allotment
The allotment list includes seats in the following specialties: General Medicine, Paediatrics, General Surgery, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Orthopaedic Surgery, and Radio Diagnosis. These are broad-speciality postgraduate qualifications offered at government headquarters hospitals across Tamil Nadu. The number of seats available in each specialty and location is limited, and allotment is based on merit rank and the choices you submitted during counselling.
- General Medicine (2 seats allotted)
- Paediatrics (3 seats allotted)
- General Surgery (1 seat allotted)
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology (2 seats allotted)
- Orthopaedic Surgery (1 seat allotted)
- Radio Diagnosis (1 seat allotted)
Hospitals where seats are available
The allotted seats are distributed across government headquarters hospitals in the following locations: Cuddalore (6 seats), Erode (3 seats), Pollachi (1 seat), Chidambaram (1 seat), and Padmanabhapuram, Kanyakumari (1 seat). These are government medical institutions that offer postgraduate training in broad-speciality courses. Your allotment specifies the exact hospital where you must report for document verification and joining.
- Govt. Head Quarters Hospital, Cuddalore (6 allotments)
- Govt. Head Quarters Hospital, Erode (3 allotments)
- Govt. Head Quarters Hospital, Pollachi (1 allotment)
- Government Head Quarters Hospital, Chidambaram (1 allotment)
- Govt. Head Quarters Hospital, Padmanabhapuram, Kanyakumari (1 allotment)
What to do if your name is NOT on the list
If you participated in the counselling but your name does not appear on this provisional allotment list, it means you have not been allotted a seat in this round. This could happen for several reasons: your merit rank may not have been high enough to secure a seat in your chosen specialty and location, or all seats in your preferred choices may have been filled by higher-ranked candidates. Do not panic — the authority may release additional rounds of counselling (such as a second round or a mop-up round) in which more seats may become available.
Check the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website regularly for announcements about subsequent counselling rounds. If you believe there is an error in your ranking or eligibility, contact the DME office with your application number and supporting documents. Keep your NEET-PG score card and all counselling documents safe for reference.
Common mistakes that lead to rejection during verification
Many candidates lose their allotted seats during document verification due to preventable errors. The most common mistakes are: (1) bringing photocopies instead of original documents; (2) having an invalid or expired service certificate; (3) having an invalid or expired community certificate; (4) missing any of the required documents; (5) having a MBBS degree certificate that is provisional or incomplete; (6) not reporting on the specified date and time for verification; and (7) having discrepancies between the information on your documents and the information in your application.
To avoid rejection, verify every document well before the verification date. Check that all certificates are original, valid, and issued by the competent authority. Ensure that your name, date of birth, and other details are spelled consistently across all documents. If you notice any discrepancy, contact the issuing authority to obtain a corrected certificate before the verification date. Do not assume that minor errors will be overlooked — the verification committee is strict about document compliance.
- Bringing only photocopies instead of originals
- Service certificate expired or not showing required service period
- Community certificate invalid, expired, or not issued by competent authority
- Missing any required document
- MBBS degree certificate provisional or incomplete
- Not reporting on the specified date and time
- Discrepancies in name, date of birth, or other details across documents

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I see my name on the provisional allotment list. Does this mean I have definitely got the seat?
No, the list is provisional. Your seat is confirmed only after you complete document verification and formally join the course by the deadline. You must immediately report to your allotted hospital with all original documents for verification. If you fail to verify or do not join by the deadline, your allotment will be cancelled and your seat will be forfeited.
What is the deadline for document verification and joining?
This notice does not specify the exact deadline. You must immediately visit the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website (tnmedicalselection.net) or contact the DME office to find out the document verification and joining dates. Typically, candidates are given 3–7 days after the allotment list is released. Do not delay — missing the deadline will result in loss of your seat.
I am allotted under the service quota. What service certificate do I need to bring?
You must bring an original service certificate issued by the competent authority (usually the government medical institution or the state health department) that clearly shows you have completed the required period of service in a government medical institution or as a government doctor in Tamil Nadu after your MBBS. The certificate must be valid and must not have expired. If your service period has ended, your allotment may be cancelled.
What documents must I bring for document verification?
You must bring originals and photocopies of: MBBS degree certificate, NEET-PG admit card and score card, community/caste certificate (if applicable), service certificate, identity proof (Aadhaar/PAN/passport), and any other documents specified in the joining letter. Check the official website for the complete list. Bringing only photocopies or missing any document will result in rejection.
My name is not on the allotment list. What should I do?
If your name is not on this list, you have not been allotted a seat in this round. The authority may release additional counselling rounds (second round, mop-up round, etc.) in which more seats may become available. Check the official website regularly for announcements. If you believe there is an error, contact the DME office with your application number and supporting documents.
What is the difference between Post MBBS and Post Diploma courses?
Post MBBS courses are for candidates who have completed MBBS and are pursuing their first postgraduate qualification (such as DNB or MD). Post Diploma courses are for candidates who have already completed a diploma qualification and are now pursuing a 2-year DNB diploma in another specialty. Check your allotment letter to see which type of course you have been allotted to.
I have been allotted to a hospital far from my home. Can I request a transfer to a hospital closer to me?
This notice does not mention any provision for transfer or change of allotted hospital. Your allotment is based on your merit rank and the choices you submitted during counselling. You must report to the hospital specified in your allotment. If you have a genuine hardship, contact the DME office to inquire about any transfer policy, but do not assume a transfer will be granted.
My community certificate has expired. Can I still join with an expired certificate?
No. An expired community certificate will result in rejection during document verification. You must obtain a fresh, valid community certificate from the competent authority before the verification date. Do not delay — contact the issuing authority immediately to obtain a renewed certificate.
What happens if I do not report for document verification on the specified date?
If you do not report on the specified date and time, your allotment will be automatically cancelled, and your seat will be forfeited. There is typically no grace period or rescheduling option. Mark the verification date on your calendar and plan to be present well in advance. If you have a genuine emergency, contact the DME office immediately to request a postponement, but do not assume it will be granted.
I have a discrepancy in my name spelling across my documents. Will this cause rejection?
Yes, discrepancies in name, date of birth, or other details across documents can result in rejection. Before the verification date, ensure that your name is spelled consistently on all documents (MBBS certificate, NEET-PG score card, community certificate, service certificate, etc.). If you find a discrepancy, contact the issuing authority to obtain a corrected document. Do not assume minor spelling errors will be overlooked.
Can I appeal if my allotment is cancelled during document verification?
This notice does not mention any appeal process. If your allotment is cancelled due to missing or invalid documents, you may lose your seat permanently. To avoid this, ensure all your documents are valid, original, and correct before verification. If you believe the cancellation was unjust, contact the DME office immediately with supporting evidence, but do not expect a reversal unless there is a clear administrative error.
When will the next counselling round be held if I am not allotted in this round?
This notice does not specify the dates for subsequent counselling rounds. Check the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website regularly for announcements about the second round, mop-up round, or any other counselling phases. The authority will publish the schedule and registration dates for the next round separately.
If your name appears on this provisional allotment list, act immediately: (1) verify that all your details are correct; (2) check the official website for the document verification and joining dates; (3) gather all original documents (MBBS certificate, NEET-PG score card, service certificate, community certificate, identity proof); (4) report to your allotted hospital on the specified date with all documents; and (5) complete the verification and joining process by the deadline. If your name is not on the list, monitor the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website (tnmedicalselection.net) for announcements about subsequent counselling rounds.
