The Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Government of Tamil Nadu, released the Round 1 provisional allotment on November 5, 2026. The allotment order is live on the official portal at tnmedicalselection.net. This release includes MD, MS and PG Diploma seats across both government and management quotas for the 2026–2027 session.
Alongside the NEET PG allotment, the Committee also issued Round 1 lists for Master of Dental Surgery (MDS) seats and Diplomate of National Board (DNB) Broad Speciality Post MBBS and Post Diploma courses. All three streams—NEET PG, MDS and DNB—have been aligned to the same joining window this year, giving aspirants a single coordinated deadline to track.
Critical Dates: Download and Joining Window
The joining window is extremely tight and leaves no room for delay. Candidates can download their allotment order from November 5 until 3 PM on November 10, 2026. The absolute last date to accept the allotted seat and complete joining formalities at the college is 5 PM on November 10, 2026.
Any candidate who fails to join within this deadline will forfeit the allotted seat.

Why This Matters for NEET PG Aspirants
Tamil Nadu has coordinated the allotment and joining windows for NEET PG, MDS and DNB Broad Speciality this year. This alignment means all three streams share the same November 5 to November 10 window. For aspirants applying across multiple streams, this creates a single, unified deadline to track and plan around.
The tight five-day joining window reflects the state's effort to expedite the admission process and ensure seats are filled quickly. However, it places significant pressure on candidates to arrange travel, documents and fees within a very short timeframe. Planning ahead and having all documents ready before the allotment is released is essential to avoid missing the deadline.
