Unlock My College ListWhat is this allotment list?
This is the provisional allotment list released by Tamil Nadu DME for Government Quota MBBS and BDS seats for the 2026-27 academic session. The list contains 23 candidates who have been allotted seats based on their NEET UG 2026 rank, merit score, category, and the choices they submitted during counselling registration.
The term 'provisional' means this allotment is subject to verification of your documents and eligibility. Your seat is not final until you report to the college, submit all required documents, and complete the admission process. If any discrepancy is found in your application or documents, your allotment may be cancelled.
Who has been allotted seats?
The allotment list includes candidates from various communities: BC (Backward Class), MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class & Denotified Community), SC (Scheduled Caste), and SCA (Scheduled Caste Arunthathiyar). The allotments span MBBS and BDS courses across different college types — private medical colleges, government dental colleges, and self-financing dental colleges.
Your position on the list is determined by your NEET UG 2026 score (T.MARK column), your rank (GRANK column), and your category. The highest-scoring candidate (Thariga D, BC, 484 marks) has been allotted an MBBS seat at Sri Venkateswaraa Medical College, Chennai. The lowest-scoring candidate on this list (Mohanapriya S, MBC&DNC, 194 marks) has been allotted a BDS seat at Asan Memorial Dental College, Chengalpattu.
What colleges are included in this allotment?
The allotted colleges include a mix of private medical colleges, government dental colleges, and self-financing dental colleges across Tamil Nadu. Private medical colleges in the list include Sri Venkateswaraa Medical College Hospital and Research Institute (Chennai) and Kanyakumari Medical Mission Research Center (Kanyakumari). Government dental colleges include Government Dental College, Pudukkottai; Tamil Nadu Government Dental College & Hospital, Chennai; and Government Dental College and Hospital, Cuddalore.
Self-financing dental colleges in the allotment include Sri Venkateswara Dental College & Hospital (Chennai), Ragas Dental College & Hospital (Chennai), RVS Dental College & Hospital (Coimbatore), Adhiparasakthi Dental College & Hospital (Melmaruvathur), Best Dental Science College (Madurai), JKK Natrajah Dental College & Hospital (Komarapalayam), Priyadharshini Dental College & Hospital (Thiruvallur), Rajas Dental College & Hospital (Tirunelveli), Madha Dental College & Hospital (Kundrathur), and Asan Memorial Dental College & Hospital (Chengalpattu).
- Private medical colleges: 2 MBBS seats allotted
- Government dental colleges: 3 BDS seats allotted
- Self-financing dental colleges: 18 BDS seats allotted
How to check if your name is on the list
Search the allotment list using your application number (APP. NO), NEET UG registration number, or your name. The list is organized by serial number (SNO) and includes your NEET rank (GRANK), application number, name, community, total marks scored in NEET UG, and the college and course you have been allotted.
If you find your name on the list, note down your allotted college name, location, and the course (MBBS or BDS). Cross-check your community category and marks to ensure there are no errors. If you spot any discrepancy in your name, marks, or category, contact the DME immediately before proceeding with admission.

What you must do now — immediate next steps
If your name appears on this provisional allotment list, you must act immediately. Do not delay — the DME will announce a deadline by which you must report to your allotted college and complete admission formalities. Failure to report by the deadline will result in automatic forfeiture of your seat, and it will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
Your immediate steps are: (1) Verify your allotment details (college name, course, location); (2) Gather all required documents (see 'Documents Required' section below); (3) Contact your allotted college to confirm the reporting date and time; (4) Report to the college on or before the deadline with all original documents; (5) Complete the admission process, including document verification, fee payment, and hostel registration if applicable.
- Do not assume your seat is confirmed — it is provisional until you report and complete admission
- Missing the reporting deadline will result in loss of your seat
- Contact your college immediately to confirm the exact date and time you must report
- Bring all original documents; photocopies alone will not be accepted
Documents you must bring for admission
When you report to your allotted college, you must bring all original documents for verification. The college will cross-check these against the copies you submitted during counselling registration. Any mismatch or missing document can delay your admission or result in cancellation of your allotment.
Ensure every document is in your name, issued by the correct authority, and valid. For example, your community certificate must be issued by the Tahsildar or District Collector and must clearly state your sub-category (e.g., 'MBC&DNC' or 'SCA'). Your qualifying examination certificate (10+2 or equivalent) must show your date of birth and marks. Your NEET UG admit card and score card are proof of your eligibility and rank.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card and score card (original)
- 10+2 or equivalent qualifying examination certificate (original)
- Community certificate issued by Tahsildar/District Collector (original) — must clearly state your sub-category
- Caste certificate (if applicable) — original
- Income certificate (if applicable for any scholarship or fee waiver) — original
- Aadhar card or passport (original, for identity verification)
- Proof of residence (original — electricity bill, water bill, or ration card)
- Medical fitness certificate (original, issued by a registered medical practitioner)
- Character certificate from your school or college (original)
- Passport-size photographs (4–6 copies, as per college requirement)
- Bank account details and cancelled cheque (for fee payment and scholarship disbursement, if applicable)
Understanding the allotment categories — GQ_MBBS and GQ_BDS
The 'ALLOTTED TO' column in the list shows the category of seat you have been allotted. 'GQ_MBBS (Private)' means you have been allotted an MBBS seat in a private medical college under Government Quota. 'GQ_BDS (Govt. Colleges)' means you have been allotted a BDS seat in a government dental college under Government Quota. 'GQ_BDS (SF Colleges)' means you have been allotted a BDS seat in a self-financing dental college under Government Quota.
Government Quota seats are filled by the state through its own counselling process and are separate from the All-India Quota. The fees, eligibility rules, and admission procedures for Government Quota seats may differ from All-India Quota seats. Confirm with your allotted college whether any state-specific rules or additional documents apply to your admission.
- GQ = Government Quota (state-level allotment)
- MBBS = Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (5.5-year course)
- BDS = Bachelor of Dental Surgery (5-year course)
- Private = private medical college (may charge higher fees)
- Govt. Colleges = government dental college (lower fees, highly competitive)
- SF Colleges = self-financing dental college (fees between government and private)
Community categories and eligibility
The allotment list includes candidates from BC (Backward Class), MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class & Denotified Community), SC (Scheduled Caste), and SCA (Scheduled Caste Arunthathiyar) categories. Each category has its own merit list and cutoff score. Your allotment is based on your category rank, not your overall rank.
If you belong to a reserved category (SC, SCA, MBC&DNC, or BC), you must have a valid community certificate issued by the Tahsildar or District Collector of your district. The certificate must clearly state your sub-category. For example, if you are allotted under MBC&DNC, your certificate must explicitly mention 'Most Backward Class & Denotified Community' or the specific sub-caste. A generic 'backward class' certificate will not be accepted. If your certificate does not match your allotment category, contact the DME immediately.
- BC = Backward Class
- MBC&DNC = Most Backward Class & Denotified Community
- SC = Scheduled Caste
- SCA = Scheduled Caste Arunthathiyar
- General category candidates are not shown on this list (they are allotted in a separate list)

What happens if your name is NOT on this list?
If your name does not appear on this provisional allotment list, it does not mean you have been rejected. The DME releases allotments in multiple rounds. If you have not been allotted in this round, you may be allotted in a subsequent round based on your rank, category, and the availability of seats. Alternatively, you may be placed on a waiting list and called for admission if a seat becomes vacant.
Continue to monitor the DME website (tnmedicalselection.net) for announcements of subsequent allotment rounds, waiting lists, and spot counselling. Do not assume your admission process is over if you are not allotted in the first round. Keep your NEET UG score card and all documents ready for the next round.
- Multiple allotment rounds are conducted; this is the first provisional list
- Waiting lists are released after each round
- Spot counselling may be held for remaining vacant seats
- Check the DME website regularly for updates
Important dates and deadlines
This provisional allotment list was released on 11 November 2026. The DME will announce the deadline by which you must report to your allotted college and complete admission formalities. This deadline is typically 3–7 days from the date of allotment release, but you must confirm the exact date from the DME website or your allotted college.
Mark your calendar and set reminders. Missing the reporting deadline will result in automatic forfeiture of your seat. If you have a genuine emergency and cannot report by the deadline, contact your college and the DME immediately to request an extension — but do not rely on this; it is not guaranteed.
- Allotment list released: 11 November 2026
- Reporting deadline: To be announced by DME (check tnmedicalselection.net)
- Document verification: At your allotted college on the reporting date
- Fee payment: As per college's schedule (typically within 1–2 weeks of reporting)
- Hostel registration: If applicable, as per college's schedule
Common mistakes that get allotments cancelled
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. The most common mistake is not reporting to the college by the deadline. Even if you are unsure about joining, report to the college and complete the admission process — you can always withdraw later if needed, but if you do not report, your seat is automatically cancelled and offered to the next candidate.
Another critical mistake is bringing incomplete or incorrect documents. For example, if your community certificate does not match your allotment category, or if your 10+2 certificate shows a different name or date of birth, the college will reject your admission. Verify every document before you report. If you spot any error in your name, marks, or category on the allotment list, contact the DME immediately — do not go to the college with incorrect documents.
- ⚠️ Not reporting by the deadline — automatic forfeiture of seat
- ⚠️ Bringing photocopies instead of originals — admission will be delayed or rejected
- ⚠️ Community certificate does not match your allotment category — admission will be rejected
- ⚠️ 10+2 certificate shows a different name or date of birth — admission will be rejected
- ⚠️ Missing any required document — admission will be delayed
- ⚠️ Not verifying your allotment details before reporting — you may go to the wrong college
- ⚠️ Assuming your seat is confirmed without reporting — it is provisional until you complete admission
Fees and financial information
The fees for MBBS and BDS seats vary depending on the college type. Government dental colleges charge the lowest fees (typically ₹50,000–₹1,00,000 per year).

Confirm the exact fee structure with your allotted college before reporting.
The DME will announce the fee payment schedule. Typically, you must pay the first installment of fees at the time of admission (within 1–2 weeks of reporting). If you are eligible for any scholarship or fee waiver (e.g., for SC/SCA candidates or economically weaker sections), submit the required documents at the time of admission. The college will process your application and disburse the scholarship after verification.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I found my name on the allotment list. What do I do now?
Congratulations! Your next step is to report to your allotted college by the deadline announced by the DME. Gather all your original documents (NEET score card, 10+2 certificate, community certificate, Aadhar card, etc.), contact your college to confirm the reporting date and time, and go to the college on that date to complete admission formalities. Do not delay — missing the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat.
My name is not on this list. Does that mean I have been rejected?
No. This is the first provisional allotment list. The DME releases allotments in multiple rounds. If you have not been allotted in this round, you may be allotted in a subsequent round or placed on a waiting list. Continue to monitor the DME website (tnmedicalselection.net) for announcements of the next round and waiting lists. Keep your documents ready.
What is the difference between 'provisional' and 'final' allotment?
A provisional allotment means your seat is subject to verification of your documents and eligibility. Your seat is not final until you report to the college, submit all original documents, and complete the admission process. If any discrepancy is found (e.g., your community certificate does not match your allotment category), your allotment may be cancelled.
I have been allotted a BDS seat in a self-financing college, but I wanted MBBS in a government college. Can I change my allotment?
No. Once you have been allotted a seat, you cannot change it in this round. However, if you do not report to the college by the deadline, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate. You may then be considered for allotment in a subsequent round based on your rank and the availability of seats. Alternatively, you can participate in spot counselling if seats remain vacant after all rounds.
What documents must I bring when I report to the college?
Bring all original documents: NEET UG admit card and score card, 10+2 certificate, community certificate (if applicable), Aadhar card or passport, proof of residence, medical fitness certificate, character certificate, and passport-size photographs. Do not bring photocopies — originals are required for verification. If any document is missing or incorrect, your admission may be delayed or rejected.
My community certificate does not clearly state my sub-category (e.g., MBC&DNC). Will it be accepted?
No. Your community certificate must explicitly state your sub-category. If it only says 'backward class' without specifying 'Most Backward Class & Denotified Community' or your specific sub-caste, it will not be accepted. Contact the Tahsildar or District Collector immediately to get a corrected certificate before you report to the college.
What is the deadline to report to the college?
The DME will announce the reporting deadline on its website (tnmedicalselection.net). This is typically 3–7 days from the date of allotment release (11 November 2026). Check the website regularly and contact your allotted college to confirm the exact date and time. Missing the deadline will result in automatic forfeiture of your seat.
I have been allotted a seat in a private medical college. Are the fees very high?
Yes, private medical colleges typically charge ₹10,00,000–₹20,00,000 per year for MBBS. Confirm the exact fee structure with your allotted college before reporting. If you are eligible for any scholarship or fee waiver, apply at the time of admission with the required documents.
Can I defer my admission to the next year if I am allotted now?
This depends on your college's policy. Some colleges allow deferment for genuine reasons (e.g., medical emergency), while others do not. Contact your allotted college to ask about their deferment policy. However, do not assume deferment is allowed — it is safer to report and complete admission now, and then request deferment if needed.
I spotted an error in my name or marks on the allotment list. What should I do?
Contact the DME immediately. Do not go to the college with incorrect information. The DME will verify your application and correct any errors before you report to the college. If you report with incorrect documents, your admission may be rejected.
What happens if I do not report to the college by the deadline?
Your allotment will be automatically cancelled, and your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. You will not be considered for admission in this round. You may be allotted a seat in a subsequent round if seats are available, but there is no guarantee.
Can I withdraw my allotment after I report to the college?
Yes, you can withdraw after reporting and completing admission, but you may forfeit your fees or part of your fees depending on the college's withdrawal policy. It is better to withdraw before reporting if you are unsure. However, if you do not report at all, your seat is automatically cancelled without any option to withdraw later.
If your name is on this provisional allotment list, act immediately. Verify your allotment details, gather all original documents, and contact your allotted college to confirm the reporting date. Report to the college by the deadline announced by the DME — typically within 3–7 days of this list's release (11 November 2026). Check tnmedicalselection.net regularly for the exact deadline and any updates. Missing the deadline will result in automatic forfeiture of your seat. If your name is not on this list, continue to monitor the DME website for subsequent allotment rounds and waiting lists.
