Unlock My College ListWhat Is This List?
This is the provisional allotment list for Government Quota MBBS and BDS seats in Tamil Nadu for the 2026–27 session. It was released on 22 October 2026 by the DME's Selection Committee. The list contains 259 candidates ranked by their NEET UG 2026 scores, along with their community category, total marks, and the college and course they have been allotted.
This is a 'provisional' list, meaning it is subject to verification of documents and eligibility. Being on this list does not guarantee a seat until you complete document verification and fee payment. The allotment is based on your NEET rank, merit score, community category, and the availability of seats in the colleges listed.
How to Find Your Name on the List
The list is organized by serial number (SNO) and NEET rank (GRANK). Each row shows: your application number (APP. NO), name, community category, total NEET marks (T.MARK), and the college and course you have been allotted (ALLOTTED TO).
To find yourself: (1) Search by your NEET application number (26UG followed by 6 digits), or (2) Search by your NEET rank (the GRANK column), or (3) Search by your name. The list spans 16 pages and includes 259 candidates. If you do not see your name, you have not been allotted a seat in this round.
- Application number format: 26UG followed by 6 digits (e.g., 26UG816501)
- Ranks range from 3875 (highest) to 35054 (lowest) in this list
- Scores range from 529 marks (highest) to 191 marks (lowest)
Understanding Your Allotment: Course and College Type
The 'ALLOTTED TO' column shows both the course type and the college category. Courses are either GQ_MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery) or GQ_BDS (Bachelor of Dental Surgery). Colleges are categorized as: (1) Govt. Colleges—fully government-run institutions, (2) SF Colleges—self-financing colleges run by private trusts or societies but regulated by the government, or (3) Private—fully private colleges.
Government colleges charge minimal fees (set by the state). Self-financing colleges charge higher fees but are still regulated. Private colleges charge the highest fees. Your allotment type determines your fee structure and the college's governance. For example, 'GQ_MBBS (Govt. Colleges)' means you have been allotted an MBBS seat at a government college; 'GQ_BDS (SF Colleges)' means a BDS seat at a self-financing college.
- GQ_MBBS (Govt. Colleges): MBBS at a fully government college
- GQ_MBBS (SF Colleges): MBBS at a self-financing college
- GQ_MBBS (Private): MBBS at a private college
- GQ_BDS (Govt. Colleges): BDS at a fully government college
- GQ_BDS (SF Colleges): BDS at a self-financing college

The list includes candidates from multiple community categories: BC (Backward Class), MBC&DNC (Most Backward Class & Denotified Community), SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), SCA (Scheduled Caste Arunthathiyar), and BCM (Backward Class Muslim). Each category has reserved seats, and allotments are made within each category based on merit (NEET score).
Your community category is shown in the COMMUNITY column. This category was used to determine your eligibility for reserved seats and your rank within that category. If you are on this list, your community certificate has already been accepted by the DME. However, you must bring the original community certificate during document verification to confirm your eligibility.
- BC: Backward Class
- MBC&DNC: Most Backward Class & Denotified Community
- SC: Scheduled Caste
- ST: Scheduled Tribe
- SCA: Scheduled Caste Arunthathiyar
- BCM: Backward Class Muslim
What Your NEET Score Means
The T.MARK (total marks) column shows your NEET UG 2026 score out of 720. This score is the basis of your rank and allotment. The highest score on this list is 529 marks (rank 3875), and the lowest is 191 marks (rank 35054). Your score determines your position in the merit list within your community category.
Remember: this is a provisional list. Your final allotment depends on document verification. If any document is found to be invalid or if you do not meet eligibility criteria, your allotment can be cancelled even if your name is on this list.
- NEET score is out of 720 marks
