Unlock My College ListWhat is this list and why does it matter?
This is a provisional eligibility list for the PWD (Persons with Disability) category under Tamil Nadu's PG Government Quota for the 2026–27 session. The PWD category is a reserved quota that gives candidates with a certified disability priority in seat allotment, allowing them to compete for seats set aside specifically for disabled doctors.
Being on this list means the DME has provisionally verified that your PWD certificate is valid and meets the criteria for the disability quota. Your name, rank, and application number are now on record as PWD-eligible. This status will be used during counselling rounds to determine which seats you can apply for and in what order.
If your name does NOT appear on this list, you will not be able to claim PWD category benefits during counselling unless you file an objection or appeal and it is accepted. You will instead be considered under the general category based on your NEET-PG rank.
Who is on the list? How to find your name
The list contains 18 candidates, ranked from rank 350 (Dr. Dhivya Dharshini S) to rank 7791 (Dr. Lena K S). Each entry shows the candidate's serial number (1–18), their NEET-PG rank, their application number (starting with 26PG), and their full name.
To check if you are on the list, search for your name or application number in the table below. The list is sorted by rank, so if you have a lower rank (higher number), you will appear further down. Note that this is a provisional list — your final eligibility may change if you file an objection or if the DME conducts further verification.

What does 'provisional' mean? Can the list change?
Provisional means this list is not final. The DME has verified the PWD certificates and eligibility of these 18 candidates based on the documents submitted during application, but the list is subject to further scrutiny, objections, and appeals.

The list can change if: (a) a candidate on the list files an objection and it is upheld, removing them from PWD eligibility; (b) a candidate NOT on the list files an appeal with additional or corrected PWD documentation and it is accepted, adding them to the list; or (c) the DME conducts additional verification and finds an error.
You should assume this list is current and plan your counselling strategy based on it, but stay alert for any official updates or amendments from the DME.
What happens next if your name is on the list?
If your name appears on this provisional PWD eligibility list, you are cleared to participate in counselling under the PWD category. During the counselling process, you will be able to choose from seats reserved for PWD candidates in government medical colleges across Tamil Nadu.
Your rank determines the order in which you can select seats. For example, if you are rank 350, you will get to choose your seat before rank 829, and so on. The PWD seats available will depend on the total number of PG government seats in each college and the percentage reserved for disability.
You must ensure that your PWD certificate is valid and with you during the counselling process. Some colleges may ask to verify the original certificate before confirming your admission.
- Participate in counselling under the PWD category quota
- Select seats in order of your rank (lower rank = earlier choice)
- Keep your PWD certificate and all supporting documents ready
- Follow the counselling schedule and registration deadlines set by the DME
What if your name is NOT on the list?
If your name does not appear on this provisional PWD eligibility list, you will not be able to claim PWD category benefits during counselling for the 2026–27 session. You will instead be considered under the general category and will compete for general seats based on your NEET-PG rank.
However, you have the right to file an objection or appeal if you believe your PWD certificate was not properly considered or if there was an error in the verification process. You must submit this objection with supporting documents (your PWD certificate, application form, and any other relevant proof) within the deadline specified by the DME.
If your objection is accepted after review, you may be added to the list in a revised or final version. Check the DME website regularly for updates and any notification about the objection/appeal process.
- You will be considered under the general category, not PWD quota
- File an objection if you believe there was an error or your certificate was not properly reviewed
- Submit objection with PWD certificate and supporting documents within the DME's deadline
- Check the DME website for updates on objection results and any revised list
Understanding PWD category and quota in Tamil Nadu PG counselling
Every kind of PG seat, one rank
See the real seats your NEET-PG rank can reach.
The PWD (Persons with Disability) category is a reserved quota in government medical colleges designed to ensure that doctors with disabilities have equal access to postgraduate medical education. In Tamil Nadu, PWD seats are reserved under the PG Government Quota, and candidates on the PWD eligibility list can apply for these seats during counselling.
To be eligible for PWD category, you must have a valid PWD certificate issued by a competent authority (usually the District Disability Assessment Board or equivalent) that certifies you have a disability of at least 40% (or as per the state's criteria). The certificate must be current and recognized by the state government.
PWD candidates are given priority in seat allotment within the PWD quota. This means if you are rank 350 and another PWD candidate is rank 7791, you will get to choose your seat first. However, PWD seats are separate from general seats, so you will only compete with other PWD candidates for PWD-reserved seats, not with all candidates.
- PWD category is a reserved quota for candidates with certified disabilities
- Minimum disability: typically 40% as per state criteria
- PWD certificate must be issued by a competent authority and be current
- PWD candidates compete only with other PWD candidates for PWD-reserved seats
- Rank order determines seat selection priority within PWD category
Important: Verify your details immediately
If your name is on the list, verify that all details are correct: your name spelling, application number, and rank. Any mismatch could cause problems during counselling registration or seat allotment.
If you notice an error (e.g., your name is spelled differently, your rank is wrong, or your application number does not match your records), contact the DME immediately with proof of the correct information. Errors must be corrected before counselling begins.
Do not assume your details are correct just because your name appears on the list. Take 5 minutes now to cross-check against your NEET-PG admit card and application confirmation.
- Check your name spelling matches your NEET-PG admit card
- Verify your application number (26PG + 6 digits)
- Confirm your NEET-PG rank is correct
- Report any discrepancies to the DME immediately with proof
Key dates and next steps
This provisional list has been released on 29 October 2026. The DME will likely announce the final PWD eligibility list after a period for objections and appeals. You should check the DME website (tnmedicalselection.net) regularly for announcements about the objection deadline, the final list, and the counselling schedule.
Counselling rounds typically begin after the final list is published. The exact dates will be announced separately. Mark your calendar and ensure you are ready to register and participate when counselling opens.
If you are on the list, prepare now: gather all your documents (PWD certificate, NEET-PG admit card, degree certificate, caste certificate if applicable, and any other documents the DME requires), note your rank, and plan which colleges and specialties you wish to apply for.

How do I know if I am eligible for PWD category in Tamil Nadu PG counselling?
You are eligible for PWD category if your name appears on this provisional PWD eligibility list released by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee. To check, search for your name or application number in the list above. If you are on the list, you have been provisionally verified as PWD-eligible and can claim PWD category benefits during counselling. If you are not on the list but believe you should be, you can file an objection with your PWD certificate and supporting documents within the deadline set by the DME.
What is the difference between being on the PWD list and being eligible for PWD seats?
Being on the PWD eligibility list means the DME has verified that your PWD certificate is valid and you meet the criteria for the disability quota. Being eligible for PWD seats means you can now apply for and be allotted seats that are reserved for PWD candidates in government medical colleges. All candidates on the PWD list are eligible for PWD seats; the two are essentially the same thing.
If my name is not on the list, can I still apply for PG counselling?
Yes, you can still apply for PG counselling, but you will be considered under the general category, not the PWD category. You will compete for general seats based on your NEET-PG rank. If you believe your PWD certificate was not properly reviewed, you can file an objection with the DME and request to be added to the PWD list.
What should I do if I find an error in my name, rank, or application number on the list?
Contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (DME) immediately with proof of the correct information (your NEET-PG admit card, application confirmation, or other official documents). Errors must be corrected before counselling begins. Do not wait; report discrepancies as soon as you notice them.
Is this list final, or can it change?
This is a provisional list, not final. It can change if candidates file objections or appeals, or if the DME conducts further verification and finds errors. The DME will likely announce a final PWD eligibility list after a period for objections. Check the DME website regularly for updates.
What documents do I need to have ready if I am on the PWD list?
You should have your PWD certificate (original and copy), NEET-PG admit card, MBBS degree certificate, mark sheets, caste certificate (if applicable), and any other documents the DME specifies in the counselling brochure. Keep these documents organized and accessible during the counselling process.
How does my rank affect my seat selection if I am in the PWD category?
Your rank determines the order in which you can select seats within the PWD category. If you are rank 350, you will get to choose your seat before rank 829, and so on. Lower rank = earlier choice. However, you will only compete with other PWD candidates for PWD-reserved seats, not with all candidates.
When will counselling begin, and what should I do to prepare?
The exact counselling dates will be announced by the DME separately. Check the DME website (tnmedicalselection.net) regularly for the counselling schedule. If you are on the PWD list, prepare now by gathering all required documents, noting your rank, and researching which colleges and specialties you wish to apply for.
Can I appeal if my name is not on the PWD list?
Yes, you can file an objection or appeal if you believe your PWD certificate was not properly considered or if there was an error. Submit your objection with your PWD certificate and supporting documents within the deadline specified by the DME. If accepted, you may be added to a revised list.
What is the minimum disability percentage required for PWD category?
The notice does not specify the exact minimum disability percentage. Typically, Tamil Nadu requires a minimum of 40% disability as certified by the District Disability Assessment Board or equivalent competent authority. Check the DME's counselling brochure or contact the DME directly for the exact criteria.
If your name is on this provisional PWD eligibility list, verify all your details (name, rank, application number) immediately against your NEET-PG admit card. If you are not on the list but believe you should be, file an objection with the DME within the deadline they announce. Check the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website (tnmedicalselection.net) regularly for the final PWD list, objection results, and counselling schedule. Prepare all required documents now so you are ready when counselling opens.
