The Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu has issued a fresh notification reopening the online application portal for MBBS and BDS degree courses for the 2026-2027 academic session. This is not a fresh counselling round — it is a short, one-time extension meant only for candidates who never managed to submit their application in the first place. Students who have already submitted their forms are not affected by this notice and cannot use it to make changes. The window is open for just two days, from 26 July 2026 to 27 July 2026.
If you have NOT yet submitted your online application for TN MBBS/BDS 2026-27, you must do it between 26 July 10:00 AM and 27 July 3:00 PM — the Directorate has said this is a one-time reopening with no further extensions.
Why was the window reopened?
The Directorate says it received representations (requests/complaints) from students who could not complete their online registration in time. Based on these, the Selection Committee has decided to give one more, final chance to submit applications for MBBS and BDS admission for the 2026-2027 session in Tamil Nadu.
Who can use this reopened window
This reopening is strictly for one category of student — everyone else should ignore it.
- ✅ Eligible: Candidates whose applications are yet to be submitted at all (they have not completed registration and submission on the portal).
- ⚠️ Not eligible for changes: Candidates who have already submitted their application. They cannot use this window to edit, correct, or resubmit their form.
Reopened application schedule
The extension is short — only about 29 hours in total. Do not wait until the last moment.
| Event | Date & Time |
|---|---|
| Online application reopens | 26 July 2026, 10:00 AM |
| Online application closes | 27 July 2026, 3:00 PM |
No editing of already-submitted applications
The notice is explicit: candidates who have already submitted their application cannot edit it under any circumstances during this reopened window. The Directorate explains that scrutiny of applications received before this extension is already underway, and allowing edits at this stage would delay that scrutiny for everyone.
If you have already submitted your form, this notice does not give you a chance to change anything — it only opens submission for candidates who never applied.
What if my already-submitted application has minor mistakes?
The Directorate has addressed this concern directly. If you have already submitted your application and it contains minor clerical or typographical errors, you do not need to panic and you do not need to resubmit. Such minor errors will be considered and verified during the document verification and scrutiny stage that follows application submission.
Is this really the last chance?
The Selection Committee has described this reopening as a strictly one-time measure for the welfare of students, and has stated that no further extensions will be possible. Candidates who still need to submit an application should treat 27 July 2026, 3:00 PM as a hard, final deadline and complete the process well before that time rather than waiting until the last few hours.
Where to apply
The application must be submitted through the official portal for Tamil Nadu medical admissions: tnmedicalselection.org. No other website or offline mode is mentioned in the notice.

I have already submitted my MBBS/BDS application in Tamil Nadu. Do I need to do anything now?
No. This reopened window is only for candidates who have not yet submitted an application at all. If you have already applied, you cannot edit or resubmit your form, and no action is required from you regarding this notice.
I have not applied yet — what is my deadline?
You can apply between 26 July 2026, 10:00 AM and 27 July 2026, 3:00 PM through tnmedicalselection.org. This is the only window available, and the Directorate says no further extension will be given.
Can I correct a mistake in my already-submitted application during this reopened window?
No. The notice clearly states editing an already-submitted application is not possible under any circumstances, because it would disrupt the ongoing scrutiny of applications already received.

The notice says candidates need not panic over minor clerical or typographical errors. These will be taken into consideration and verified during the document verification and scrutiny stage.
Will there be another extension after 27 July 2026?

Does this notice apply to both MBBS and BDS admissions?
