Tamil Nadu NEET PG 2026: Addendum to Provisional Rank List (Government Quota)

The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (DME) has released an addendum to the provisional rank list for postgraduate degree and diploma courses under the government quota for the 2026-27 academic session. This addendum contains 23 candidates with their NEET-PG scores, community classifications, service incentive percentages, and community-wise ranks. If your name appears on this list, your candidature for government quota PG counselling in Tamil Nadu is confirmed, and you must verify all details — rank, marks, community category, and service incentive status — before the next counselling round begins. Any discrepancies must be reported immediately to the DME.

What is this addendum and why does it matter?

An addendum to the provisional rank list is a supplementary document released by the Tamil Nadu DME that adds or corrects candidate records after the initial rank list was published. This addendum for government quota PG courses 2026-27 lists 23 candidates who have qualified for postgraduate medical counselling under the government quota seats in Tamil Nadu.

If your name appears in this addendum, it means your NEET-PG score has been processed, your eligibility verified, and you are now officially eligible to participate in the government quota counselling rounds. Your rank in this list determines the order in which you will be offered seats during counselling. Appearing in this list does NOT guarantee a seat — it only confirms you are in the merit pool and eligible to choose and be allotted seats based on your rank and choices.

Understanding the columns in the rank list

Each row in the addendum contains critical information about a candidate. Here is what each column means and why it matters for your counselling:

**Rank**: Your position in the overall merit list. A lower rank number means a higher position and better chances of getting your preferred specialty and college. **App.No**: Your application number assigned by the DME during registration. **NEET Roll Number**: Your unique NEET-PG examination roll number. **Name**: Your full name as registered. **Community**: Your caste/community category — BC (Backward Class), MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class & Denotified Community), OC (Open Category), or SC (Scheduled Caste). This determines which community-specific seats you are eligible for. **Service**: Whether you have availed of the service incentive scheme (YES or blank for NO). **Incentive %**: The percentage of service incentive applied to your marks (e.g., 15%, 20%, 30%, or 0%). **Total Marks**: Your final NEET-PG score after applying the service incentive percentage, if applicable. **Comm. Rank**: Your rank within your community category — this is used to fill community-reserved seats during counselling.

Community categories and what they mean

Tamil Nadu reserves government quota PG seats for different community categories. Understanding your category is essential because it determines which seats you can compete for and what your community rank means.

**BC (Backward Class)**: Includes castes notified as backward by the Tamil Nadu government. Most candidates in this addendum belong to BC. **MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class & Denotified Community)**: A separate category for castes classified as most backward or denotified. **OC (Open Category)**: Unreserved seats open to all candidates regardless of caste. **SC (Scheduled Caste)**: Reserved seats for candidates belonging to scheduled castes. During counselling, you will compete first within your community category using your community rank, and then across all categories using your overall rank. For example, if you are BC rank 990A, you will be offered BC-reserved seats in order of your community rank before open category seats are considered.

Service incentive: what it is and how it affects your marks

Some candidates in this addendum have been granted a service incentive — a bonus percentage added to their NEET-PG marks. This incentive is typically awarded to candidates who have worked as doctors in rural or underserved areas, or who meet other service criteria set by the Tamil Nadu government. The incentive percentage is shown in the 'Incentive %' column.

For example, Dr. Shanmuga Vadivu B (Rank 1722) has a 15% service incentive, Dr. Hermin Binu B (Rank 4483A) has 20%, and Dr. Balamurugan P (Rank 5038) has 30%. This means their NEET-PG raw marks were increased by that percentage before calculating their final total marks and rank. If you have received a service incentive, verify that the percentage shown is correct — if it is wrong, contact the DME immediately. If you believe you are eligible for a service incentive but do not see it listed, you must file an appeal with supporting documents before the counselling deadline.

How to verify your details in the rank list

Before counselling begins, you must carefully check every detail in this addendum if your name appears. Errors in rank, marks, community category, or service incentive can affect your seat allotment and must be corrected immediately.

**Step 1**: Search for your name and NEET roll number in the list. **Step 2**: Verify your rank number — this is your position in the merit list. **Step 3**: Check your total marks — this should match your NEET-PG score plus any service incentive applied. **Step 4**: Confirm your community category (BC, MBC&DNC, OC, SC) — this must match your caste certificate. **Step 5**: Check your community rank — this is your position within your category. **Step 6**: If you have a service incentive, verify the percentage is correct. **Step 7**: If any detail is wrong, note it down and prepare to file a correction request with the DME immediately.

• Search for your name and NEET roll number
• Verify your overall rank and total marks
• Confirm your community category matches your caste certificate
• Check your community rank
• Verify service incentive percentage if applicable
• Report any discrepancy to DME without delay

What happens next: counselling rounds and seat allotment

Appearing in this provisional rank list addendum means you are eligible to participate in the government quota counselling rounds. The DME will conduct counselling in multiple rounds — typically Round 1, Round 2, and possibly a mop-up round — where candidates are offered seats based on their rank, choices, and seat availability.

In each round, you will be invited to log into the counselling portal, view available seats in your rank range, and submit your choice of specialties and colleges in order of preference. The DME's computer system will then match your rank and choices to available seats and allot you a seat. If you accept the allotted seat and join, you are out of further rounds. If you do not accept or do not participate, you remain in the pool for the next round. The exact dates for counselling rounds will be announced separately by the DME — watch the official website (tnmedicalselection.net) for updates.

Important: common mistakes that lead to rejection or loss of seat

Many candidates lose their seats or face rejection during counselling because of preventable errors. Here are the most common traps:

**Wrong community category**: If your community category in the rank list does not match your caste certificate, your eligibility will be questioned. Correct this immediately. **Missing or incorrect service incentive**: If you are eligible for a service incentive but it is not shown, or if the percentage is wrong, your marks and rank will be incorrect. File a correction request with proof. **Not reporting errors before counselling**: Once counselling begins, the rank list is locked. Errors reported after counselling has started may not be corrected. Report all discrepancies NOW. **Assuming your rank is final**: This is a provisional rank list addendum. The final rank list may include more candidates or corrections. Do not assume your rank will not change. **Not checking the official website regularly**: The DME publishes counselling schedules, round dates, and updates on the official website. Missing an announcement can mean missing a counselling round.

• Verify community category matches your caste certificate
• Confirm service incentive percentage is correct
