The Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu, has published the provisional allotment list for MBBS and BDS courses under the Government Quota for the 2026-27 academic session. This list shows which candidates have been allotted seats and which college they have been assigned to. If your name appears on this list, you have been provisionally allotted a seat — but this is not final. You must now verify your details, check your allotted college and course, and complete the next steps (document verification and seat acceptance) by the deadline set by DME. This is a critical moment: missing the deadline or failing to report can result in loss of your seat.
Your provisional MBBS/BDS Government Quota seat allotment for 2026-27 is now live — check the official list immediately and note the deadline for document verification and seat acceptance.
What is this allotment list?
This is the provisional allotment result for MBBS and BDS seats under the Government Quota category in Tamil Nadu for the 2026-27 session. The Government Quota seats are filled by the state through its own counselling process, separate from the All India Quota. If your name appears on this list, it means you have been provisionally assigned a seat at a specific government medical or dental college.
The word 'provisional' is important: your allotment is not yet final. You must complete document verification and formally accept your seat within the deadline. If you do not report or if your documents are found to be incomplete or invalid, your allotment can be cancelled and the seat offered to the next candidate on the waiting list.
Who should check this list?
You should check this list if you appeared for NEET UG 2026, qualified, and applied for counselling under the Government Quota category in Tamil Nadu. This list covers only Government Quota seats — if you applied under All India Quota or other categories, your result will be published separately.
Even if you are not sure whether you are eligible or whether you applied, it is worth checking the list. The list is public and searchable by roll number or name.
How to find your name on the list
The allotment list is published as a PDF document on the official DME Tamil Nadu portal. You can search for your name using your NEET roll number, registration number, or candidate name. The document is large and contains thousands of entries, so use your browser's search function (Ctrl+F on Windows, Cmd+F on Mac) to find your details quickly.
Each entry in the list shows: your name, roll number, allotted college name, allotted course (MBBS or BDS), and any other relevant details. Write down or screenshot your allotment details — you will need them for the next steps.
- Open the official DME Tamil Nadu counselling portal
- Locate the Government Quota allotment list for 2026-27
- Search by your NEET roll number or name
- Note your allotted college and course
- Save or screenshot your allotment details
What if your name is NOT on the list?
If you do not find your name on the Government Quota allotment list, it does not necessarily mean you have not been allotted a seat. You may have been allotted a seat under a different category (such as All India Quota, NRI, or management quota), or you may be on a waiting list. Check the other allotment lists published by DME for your category.
If you believe you are eligible and should have been allotted but are not on any list, contact the DME counselling helpline or visit the official portal for clarification. Do not assume you have lost your seat — there may be multiple rounds of counselling, and you could be allotted in a later round.
Important: this is provisional, not final
The allotment shown in this list is provisional. It becomes final only after you complete the following steps: (1) document verification at your allotted college, (2) payment of fees (if required), and (3) formal acceptance of the seat. Until you do this, your seat is not guaranteed.
If you do not report for document verification by the deadline, or if your documents are found to be incomplete or invalid, your allotment will be cancelled. The seat will then be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. Therefore, it is critical that you act immediately after seeing your name on this list.
What to do next: document verification and seat acceptance
After confirming your name on the allotment list, you must report to your allotted college for document verification. DME will announce the date, time, and venue for document verification. This is usually done in person at the college. You must bring all original documents (NEET admit card, mark sheet, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate if applicable, and any other documents specified by DME) for verification.
After successful document verification, you will be asked to pay the seat acceptance fee and formally accept your seat. Only after this step is your admission confirmed. The exact dates and fees will be announced by DME — watch the official portal and your registered email and phone number for updates.
- Wait for DME to announce the document verification date and venue
- Gather all original documents (NEET admit card, certificates, caste certificate if applicable)
- Report to your allotted college on the scheduled date
- Complete document verification
- Pay the seat acceptance fee
- Formally accept your seat
Documents you will need for verification
You must bring all original documents to the document verification centre. The exact list of required documents will be specified by DME in a separate notification, but typically includes: NEET UG 2026 admit card, NEET mark sheet, 10th standard certificate, 12th standard certificate or equivalent, caste certificate (if you applied under a reserved category), income certificate (if applicable), and any other documents mentioned in the counselling prospectus.
Do not bring photocopies alone — originals are required for verification. If any document is missing or invalid, your allotment may be cancelled. If you have any doubt about which documents to bring, check the DME website or contact the counselling helpline before the verification date.
- NEET UG 2026 admit card (original)
- NEET mark sheet (original)
- 10th standard certificate (original)
- 12th standard certificate or equivalent (original)
- Caste certificate if applicable (original)
- Income certificate if applicable (original)
- Any other documents specified by DME
Common mistakes that can cost you your seat
Many candidates lose their allotted seats because they miss the document verification deadline or bring incomplete documents. Here are the most common mistakes:
1. **Missing the deadline**: If you do not report for document verification by the date announced by DME, your allotment will be cancelled automatically. There is usually no extension. Mark the date in your calendar and set reminders.
2. **Bringing photocopies instead of originals**: Document verification requires original documents. Photocopies are not accepted. If you have lost an original, apply for a duplicate from your school or board well in advance.
3. **Incomplete or invalid caste certificate**: If you applied under a reserved category (SC, ST, OBC), your caste certificate must be valid and issued by the competent authority. A certificate issued after the NEET exam date, or one that does not match the category you applied under, will be rejected.
4. **Wrong or missing documents**: If DME specifies a particular document (e.g., income certificate, domicile certificate) and you do not bring it, your verification may be rejected. Read the DME notification carefully and bring everything listed.
5. **Not checking the allotment list**: Some candidates do not check the list at all and miss the deadline. Check immediately after the list is published.
What happens after document verification?
After your documents are verified and found to be in order, you will be asked to pay the seat acceptance fee and formally accept your seat. The fee amount and payment method will be announced by DME. Once you pay and accept, your admission to the college is confirmed, and you can proceed with registration and hostel allotment (if applicable).
If there are any issues with your documents, the verification officer will inform you of the deficiency. You may be given a chance to submit the missing or corrected document within a specified time. If you cannot resolve the issue, your allotment will be cancelled.

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I found my name on the allotment list. Does this mean I have been admitted?
No. Your name on the allotment list means you have been provisionally allotted a seat. Your admission is not final until you complete document verification, pay the seat acceptance fee, and formally accept your seat. If you do not complete these steps by the deadline, your allotment will be cancelled.
What is the deadline for document verification?
The allotment list does not specify the document verification deadline. DME will announce this date separately, usually within a few days of publishing the allotment list. Check the official DME portal and your registered email for the announcement. Do not delay — missing the deadline will result in cancellation of your allotment.
I did not find my name on the Government Quota list. What should I do?
Check the other allotment lists published by DME for your category (All India Quota, NRI, management quota, etc.). You may have been allotted under a different category. If you are not on any list, you may be on a waiting list or allotted in a later round. Contact the DME counselling helpline for clarification.
Can I change my allotted college or course?
The allotment list does not mention any provision for changing your allotted college or course. Typically, you cannot change your allotment after it is published. However, there may be a choice-filling or modification process during counselling — check the DME prospectus or contact the helpline for details.
What documents do I need to bring for document verification?
You will need original documents including your NEET admit card, NEET mark sheet, 10th and 12th certificates, caste certificate (if applicable), and any other documents specified by DME. The exact list will be announced by DME. Bring originals, not photocopies. If any document is missing or invalid, your allotment may be cancelled.
What if I have lost one of my original documents?
Apply for a duplicate from your school or board immediately. Contact your 10th and 12th school to request duplicate certificates. If you have lost your NEET mark sheet, contact the NEET authority. Do this as soon as possible — do not wait until the document verification date.
Is there a fee to accept my seat?
Yes, there is usually a seat acceptance fee. The amount and payment method will be announced by DME in a separate notification. You must pay this fee to formally accept your seat and confirm your admission.
What happens if I do not report for document verification?
If you do not report by the deadline, your allotment will be cancelled automatically. Your seat will be offered to the next candidate on the waiting list. There is usually no extension or second chance. Mark the date in your calendar and report on time.
Can I defer my admission to the next year?
The allotment list does not mention any deferment policy. Typically, you cannot defer your admission after being allotted. If you have a genuine reason to defer, contact the DME counselling office immediately to ask about the possibility. Do not assume you can defer without permission.
How do I know if my caste certificate is valid?
Your caste certificate must be issued by the competent authority (usually the Tahsildar or District Magistrate) and must match the category you applied under in NEET. It should be issued on or before the NEET exam date. If you are unsure, contact your district administration or the DME helpline before document verification.
Check the official DME Tamil Nadu counselling portal immediately to find your name on the Government Quota allotment list. If you are allotted, note your college and course, and wait for DME to announce the document verification date. Gather all original documents and report on time — missing the deadline will result in cancellation of your seat. For updates and clarifications, monitor the official portal and contact the DME counselling helpline.
