Unlock My College ListWhat is this allotment list?
This is the provisional allotment list for Management Quota (MQ) MBBS and BDS seats in Tamil Nadu for the 2026–27 academic session. Management Quota seats are filled by colleges directly, outside the state counselling process, and are typically available at self-financing and private institutions. The list was released on 22 October 2026 and contains 254 candidates ranked by their NEET UG score.
The allotment is provisional, meaning it is subject to verification of documents and eligibility. Your name on this list does not guarantee final admission—you must complete all required steps, including seat acceptance, document verification, and fee payment, to confirm your place.
How to find your name on the list
The allotment list is arranged by serial number (SNO) and includes your NEET UG application number (APP. NO), name, community category, total marks (T.MARK), the course and college allotted to you, and any special category (e.g., Christian Minority). Search the list using your application number or name.
The list spans 15 pages and includes candidates with NEET scores ranging from 500 (rank 1) down to 179 (rank 254). If you do not find your name, it means you have not been allotted a Management Quota seat in this round. You may be eligible for subsequent rounds or other quota categories—check the DME website for further announcements.
- Search by your NEET UG application number (e.g., 26UG917519)
- Verify your name, community, marks, and allotted college match your records

Essential documents include your NEET UG admit card, NEET UG score card, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, community certificate (if applicable), income certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, and any other documents specified by DME. Ensure all certificates are issued by the competent authority and are not expired. A missing or invalid document can lead to rejection of your application and loss of your seat.

Common mistakes that lead to rejection
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. The most common mistake is missing the seat acceptance deadline. Even if you have been allotted a seat, if you do not accept it online by the deadline, your seat is automatically cancelled and given to the next candidate. There is no grace period.
Another frequent error is bringing incomplete or invalid documents to verification. For example, a community certificate issued after the NEET exam date, an expired medical fitness certificate, or a 12th mark sheet without the official seal will be rejected. Ensure all documents are original, valid, and issued by the competent authority. If your community certificate shows a sub-group (e.g., 'BC-Muslim' instead of just 'BC'), ensure it matches the category on your allotment list.
Candidates also sometimes fail to pay fees on time or pay the wrong amount. Verify the exact fee amount from your college before payment. If you pay less than required, your seat will not be confirmed. Additionally, some candidates do not bring all required documents to verification, forcing them to return later and miss the fee payment deadline.
- ⚠️ Missing seat acceptance deadline = automatic forfeiture of seat
- ⚠️ Invalid or expired community certificate = rejection at verification
- ⚠️ Medical fitness certificate issued after NEET exam = not accepted
- ⚠️ 12th mark sheet without official seal = rejected
- ⚠️ Incomplete documents at verification = forced to return, may miss fee deadline
- ⚠️ Paying wrong fee amount = seat not confirmed
- ⚠️ Community certificate sub-group mismatch = eligibility questioned
What if your name is not on the list?

Can I change my allotted college or course?
This is a provisional allotment list for Management Quota seats. Typically, Management Quota allotments are final and cannot be changed. However, check the DME notification for any provisions regarding seat upgrades or changes. If you wish to explore other options, you may need to wait for subsequent allotment rounds or apply for other quota categories.
What is the fee for Management Quota seats?
The fee varies by college type and course. Self-financing colleges and private colleges charge significantly higher fees than government colleges. The exact fee amount will be communicated by your allotted college or DME after you accept your seat. You must pay the fee within the deadline specified to confirm your admission.
What if my community certificate is invalid or expired?
An invalid or expired community certificate will be rejected during document verification, and you will not be able to confirm your seat. Ensure your community certificate is valid, issued by the competent authority, and matches the community category shown on your allotment list. If there is an issue, contact DME immediately before the verification date.
What if my name is not on the allotment list?

Can I defer my admission to the next academic year?
Deferment policies vary by college and are not typically allowed for Management Quota seats. Check with your allotted college's admission office for their specific deferment policy. If deferment is not available and you wish to defer, you may need to forfeit your seat and reapply in the next admission cycle.
What is the difference between SF Colleges and Private Colleges?
Self-financing (SF) colleges are government-recognised institutions that charge higher fees than government colleges but are regulated by the government. Private colleges are independent institutions with their own fee structures and regulations. Both are recognised for NEET UG admissions. Private colleges typically charge higher fees than SF colleges.
How do I pay the seat acceptance fee?

Payment is typically made online through the DME portal or your college's website using a debit card, credit card, or net banking. Keep the payment receipt and transaction ID for your records.
