Unlock My College ListWhat This Allotment List Means
This is a provisional allotment list, not a final admission confirmation. Being on this list means the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee has tentatively assigned you a postgraduate medical seat based on your NEET PG 2026 score, your choice of specialty and college, and the quota category under which you applied (Management Quota, NRI, Minority Network, etc.).
The list contains 468 candidates ranked by their total marks (T.MARK) in descending order. Each entry shows your serial number (SNO), all-India rank (GRANK), application number (APP. NO), name, marks, the specialty and college you have been allotted to, and your category. The list spans 29 pages and includes candidates across multiple medical colleges in Tamil Nadu.
This provisional status means the allotment is subject to document verification. You must attend verification, produce all required certificates, and formally accept the seat within the deadline. Failure to do so will result in cancellation of your allotment and forfeiture of the seat.
How to Find Your Name on the List
The list is arranged in order of all-India rank (GRANK), starting from rank 1 (highest marks: 625) down to rank 3569 (lowest marks: 233). To locate yourself quickly, search for your application number (APP. NO), which begins with '26PG' followed by six digits. Your application number was provided to you when you registered for NEET PG 2026.
Alternatively, search by your name or your all-India rank if you know it. The document is a PDF and can be searched using the browser's find function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac). Once you find your entry, note down: (1) your serial number on this list, (2) your all-India rank, (3) the specialty allotted (e.g., M.D. General Medicine, M.S. Ophthalmology), (4) the college name, and (5) your category.
If your name does not appear on this list, it means you have not been allotted a Management Quota seat in this round. You may be eligible for subsequent rounds, or you may need to check other quota lists (if applicable) or wait for further counselling notifications from the DME.
Understanding Your Allotment: Specialty, College and Category
Each allotment specifies three key details: the specialty (course), the college, and the category under which you have been allotted. The specialty is shown as 'MQ - M.D. [Specialty Name]' or 'MQ - M.S. [Specialty Name]' or 'MQ - DNB [Specialty Name]' or 'MQ - D.[Diploma Name]'. For example, 'MQ - M.D. General Medicine' means you have been allotted a Master of Medicine (MD) seat in General Medicine under Management Quota. 'MQ - M.S. Ophthalmology' means a Master of Surgery (MS) seat in Ophthalmology.
The college name is the institution where your seat is located. Examples include Christian Medical College Vellore, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences Coimbatore, KMCH Institute of Health Sciences and Research Coimbatore, and many others across Tamil Nadu. Verify that this is a college you are willing to join; if not, you may have the option to decline and participate in subsequent rounds (subject to DME rules).
The category shows the quota under which you have been allotted. 'Management Quota' means a private/management-funded seat. 'NRI' means you have been allotted under the NRI (Non-Resident Indian) category. 'Minority Network' indicates a seat reserved for minority communities. 'CMC General', 'CMC Service', 'Inst. Preference' and other labels indicate institution-specific or service-related reservations. Ensure the category matches your eligibility.
Important: This Is a Provisional List Only
The word 'Provisional' in the title is critical. This list is subject to verification of your documents and eligibility. The DME will conduct document verification at a specified centre and date (to be announced separately). You must attend this verification with all original certificates and documents.

At verification, the DME will check: (1) your NEET PG 2026 admit card and score card, (2) your MBBS degree certificate and mark sheets, (3) your caste/community certificate (if applicable), (4) your NRI status proof (if you are an NRI candidate), (5) your minority community certificate (if applicable), and (6) any other documents specified in the counselling brochure.
If any document is missing, invalid, or does not match the information in your application, your allotment may be cancelled. Therefore, gather all documents now and verify their authenticity and validity before the verification date.
Colleges and Specialties Included in This Allotment
This allotment covers postgraduate medical seats across multiple Tamil Nadu medical colleges, both government-aided and private institutions. Colleges include Christian Medical College Vellore, PSG Institute of Medical Sciences Coimbatore, KMCH Institute of Health Sciences and Research Coimbatore, Aravind Eye Hospital Madurai, Sankara Nethralaya Chennai, Tagore Medical College Chennai, Trichy SRM Medical College, Velammal Medical College Madurai, and many others.

Some allotments include PG Diploma courses (D.ORTHO, D.C.P., M.Ch. 6-year NeuroSurgery) and DNB courses.
The highest-ranked candidate (rank 1) with 625 marks has been allotted M.D. General Medicine at Christian Medical College Vellore under CMC General category. Allotments continue down to rank 3569 with 233 marks. The range of marks reflects the diversity of specialties and colleges: high-demand specialties and premier colleges typically have higher cutoff marks.
Quota Categories Explained
This allotment list includes candidates from multiple quota categories. 'Management Quota' (MQ) seats are funded by the college's management and are typically available to candidates who pay a higher fee. 'NRI Category' seats are reserved for Non-Resident Indians and their children; NRI candidates must have valid NRI status proof. 'Minority Network' seats are reserved for candidates belonging to minority religious communities (Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, etc.) and are available at certain colleges.
'CMC General' and 'CMC Service' refer to seats at Christian Medical College Vellore reserved for general candidates and service candidates respectively. 'Inst. Preference' indicates seats allotted based on institutional preference or special criteria. 'Telugu Minority', 'Malayalam Minority', and 'Christian Minority' refer to seats reserved for candidates belonging to these specific minority groups. 'CMC General' and 'CMC Service' are specific to CMC Vellore's internal quota system.
Verify that your allotted category matches your eligibility. For example, if you are not an NRI, you should not have been allotted an NRI seat. If you are not a minority community member, you should not have been allotted a Minority Network seat. If there is a mismatch, contact the DME immediately to report the error.
Next Steps: Document Verification and Seat Acceptance
After this provisional allotment list is released, the DME will announce the date, time and venue for document verification. You must attend verification in person with all original documents. The verification centre will typically be at the DME office or a designated medical college. Watch the DME website (tnmedicalselection.net) and your registered email/phone for the verification schedule.
At verification, submit all required documents in the order specified by the DME. After verification, if your documents are found to be in order, you will be issued a verification certificate. You will then be asked to formally accept your allotted seat by paying the seat acceptance fee (amount to be announced) and signing the acceptance form. This acceptance is binding: once you accept, you commit to joining that college and course.
If you do not attend verification or do not accept your seat within the deadline, your allotment will be cancelled and your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. Therefore, mark the verification date on your calendar and ensure you have all documents ready well in advance.
Documents You Must Bring to Verification
Prepare and bring the following documents in original and photocopy (as specified by the DME): (1) NEET PG 2026 Admit Card, (2) NEET PG 2026 Score Card / Result, (3) MBBS Degree Certificate, (4) MBBS Mark Sheets (all semesters), (5) Medical Registration Certificate (from the Medical Council of India or State Medical Council), (6) Caste/Community Certificate (if applicable, issued by the competent authority), (7) NRI Status Certificate or Passport (if you are an NRI candidate), (8) Minority Community Certificate (if applicable), (9) Aadhar Card or PAN Card (for identity verification), (10) Passport-size photographs (as specified), and (11) any other document mentioned in the counselling brochure.
Ensure all certificates are original and valid. Caste certificates must be issued by the competent authority (District Collector or equivalent) and must not be older than the validity period specified by the state. NRI status must be verified through official channels. Minority community certificates must clearly state the community and must be issued by the competent authority. Medical registration certificates must be current and valid.

Cutoff Marks and Rank Analysis
The allotment list shows a wide range of marks, from 625 (rank 1) to 233 (rank 3569). The highest marks are for premium specialties at premier colleges: for example, M.D. General Medicine at Christian Medical College Vellore (CMC General) has a cutoff around 625 marks at rank 1. Specialties like Ophthalmology, General Surgery, and Obstetrics and Gynaecology at top colleges also command high marks (typically 500+).
Lower-ranked specialties and colleges have lower cutoff marks. For example, Community Medicine, Biochemistry, Microbiology, and Pharmacology at smaller or newer colleges may have cutoffs in the 250–350 range. NRI category seats typically have lower cutoffs than general/management quota seats at the same college and specialty, reflecting the smaller pool of NRI candidates.
If your marks are close to the cutoff for your allotted specialty and college, you are at risk of being bumped down in subsequent rounds if more candidates with higher marks choose that specialty. Conversely, if your marks are significantly above the cutoff, your allotment is relatively secure. Use this analysis to decide whether to accept your current allotment or wait for a better option in the next round (if applicable).
Common Mistakes That Lead to Allotment Cancellation
⚠️ **Missing or Invalid Documents**: The most common reason for allotment cancellation is failure to produce valid original documents at verification. Ensure all certificates are original, valid, and issued by the competent authority. Photocopies alone are not accepted. If your MBBS degree is still pending, you must produce a provisional certificate from your college stating that you have completed all requirements and will receive the degree soon.
⚠️ **Caste Certificate Issues**: If you have claimed a caste/community category, your caste certificate must be valid and issued by the competent authority (District Collector, Tehsildar, or equivalent). Certificates issued by private individuals, schools, or colleges are not accepted. The certificate must clearly state your caste/community and must not be older than the validity period specified by the state (typically 5–10 years). If your certificate is invalid, your allotment will be cancelled and you will be treated as a general candidate.
⚠️ **NRI Status Mismatch**: If you are allotted an NRI seat but cannot prove NRI status at verification, your allotment will be cancelled. NRI status is typically proved through a valid passport showing NRI status, or through an affidavit from the parent(s) stating NRI status. Ensure you have the correct documentation before verification.
⚠️ **Missing Minority Community Certificate**: If you are allotted a Minority Network or minority-specific seat but do not have a valid minority community certificate, your allotment will be cancelled. Minority status is not self-declared; it must be certified by the competent authority.
⚠️ **Non-Attendance at Verification**: If you do not attend verification on the scheduled date and time, your allotment will be cancelled automatically. There is typically no provision for late verification. Mark the date and time clearly and plan to attend in person.
⚠️ **Non-Acceptance of Seat**: If you attend verification but do not accept your allotted seat (by paying the acceptance fee and signing the form) within the deadline, your allotment will be cancelled. Acceptance is mandatory to confirm your admission.
What to Do If Your Name Is Not on the List
If you do not see your name on this provisional allotment list, it means you have not been allotted a Management Quota seat in this round. This does not mean you are ineligible for admission; it may mean that your score was not high enough for the specialties and colleges you chose, or that all available seats in your preferred categories have been filled by higher-ranked candidates.
Check whether you are eligible for other quota categories (e.g., general, OBC, SC/ST, if applicable in Tamil Nadu). The DME may release separate allotment lists for other quotas. Additionally, there may be subsequent rounds of counselling (Round 2, Round 3, etc.) in which more seats become available as candidates decline or withdraw. Watch the DME website for announcements of further rounds.
If you believe there is an error in your application or eligibility, contact the DME office immediately with your application number and details. Do not wait for the next round; clarify the issue now so you can participate in subsequent rounds if eligible.

What is the difference between Management Quota, NRI, and Minority Network seats?
Management Quota seats are funded by the college's management and are available to candidates who pay a higher fee. NRI seats are reserved for Non-Resident Indians and require proof of NRI status. Minority Network seats are reserved for candidates belonging to minority religious communities and require a valid minority community certificate. Each has different eligibility criteria and fees.
When is document verification? What documents do I need?
The DME will announce the verification date, time, and venue separately (watch tnmedicalselection.net). You must bring original documents including NEET PG score card, MBBS degree/mark sheets, medical registration certificate, caste/community certificate (if applicable), NRI proof (if applicable), and identity proof. Check the counselling brochure for the complete list. Bring originals and photocopies as specified.
What happens if I don't attend verification or don't accept my seat?
If you do not attend verification on the scheduled date, your allotment will be cancelled automatically. If you attend verification but do not accept your seat (by paying the acceptance fee and signing the form) within the deadline, your allotment will also be cancelled. Your seat will then be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. Attendance and acceptance are mandatory.
Can I change my allotted specialty or college?
This provisional allotment list shows the specialty and college assigned to you based on your score and choices. You cannot change the allotment at this stage. However, if you decline this allotment, you may participate in subsequent rounds of counselling where you can make fresh choices. Check the DME website for information on subsequent rounds and the option to decline.
What if my caste certificate is invalid or expired?
If your caste certificate is invalid, expired, or not issued by the competent authority, it will not be accepted at verification. Your allotment may be cancelled and you will be treated as a general candidate. Ensure your caste certificate is valid, issued by the District Collector or equivalent, and not older than the validity period specified by the state (typically 5–10 years). Obtain a fresh certificate if needed.
I am an NRI. What proof do I need to bring?
If you are allotted an NRI seat, you must bring proof of NRI status at verification. This typically includes a valid passport showing NRI status, or an affidavit from your parent(s) stating NRI status. Ensure you have the correct documentation before verification. Without valid NRI proof, your allotment will be cancelled.
What is the fee for Management Quota seats?
The fee for Management Quota seats is not specified in this allotment list. The DME will announce the fee structure separately, typically in the counselling brochure or on the website. Management Quota seats are generally more expensive than general/reserved seats. Check the DME website or contact the college directly for fee details.
Can I appeal if I believe there is an error in my allotment?
If you believe there is an error in your allotment (e.g., wrong specialty, wrong college, wrong category), contact the DME office immediately with your application number and details. The DME may investigate and correct the error if valid. Do not wait; report errors as soon as possible so they can be resolved before verification.
What happens in the next round of counselling?
After this round, the DME may conduct subsequent rounds (Round 2, Round 3, etc.) in which candidates who declined or withdrew are replaced, and new seats may become available. If you do not accept this allotment or if you are not allotted in this round, you may be eligible for the next round. Watch the DME website for announcements of further rounds and their schedules.
Is this list final or will there be changes?
This is a provisional list and may change after document verification. Candidates whose documents are found to be invalid or incomplete will be removed from the list, and their seats will be offered to candidates on the waiting list. Therefore, this list is not final; the final list will be released after verification is complete.
