Tamil Nadu's Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME) has released the allotment order for Round 2 of online counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in the 2026–27 session. The allotment is based on a 92.5% cutoff score and covers Government quota, Management quota (including Minority institutions), and NRI quota seats. This is a critical milestone in the admission process — candidates who have been allotted a seat must now complete their choice-filling and reporting formalities to confirm their admission. The allotment order is available for download from the official TN MedSelect portal.
Tamil Nadu Round 2 MBBS/BDS allotment has been released at 92.5% cutoff; eligible candidates must download their allotment order and complete choice-filling and reporting immediately.
What is this allotment order?
This is the official allotment result for Round 2 of Tamil Nadu's online counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in the 2026–27 session. The allotment has been made based on candidates' NEET UG 2026 scores, merit rank, category, and the choices they filled in the previous round. A 92.5% cutoff has been applied — meaning only candidates who scored at or above this percentile have been considered for allotment in this round.
The allotment covers three quota categories: Government quota (seats in government medical colleges), Management quota (seats in private medical colleges, including those run by minority communities), and NRI quota (seats reserved for Non-Resident Indian candidates). Each candidate who appears in the allotment list has been assigned a specific seat in a specific college and course (MBBS or BDS) based on their merit, preferences, and availability.
Who is eligible to receive an allotment?
To be eligible for allotment in Round 2, you must have:
• Appeared for NEET UG 2026 and scored at or above the 92.5% cutoff percentile set by Tamil Nadu.
• Registered for Tamil Nadu counselling and completed your choice-filling in Round 1 (or participated in the previous round's process).
• Not been allotted a seat in Round 1, or have chosen to participate in Round 2 for a better college or course option.
• Satisfied all eligibility criteria for NEET UG admission (Indian citizenship or NRI status, age, educational qualification, and domicile requirements as applicable).
Candidates from all categories — General, OBC, SC, ST, and those eligible for Minority or NRI quota — are considered for allotment based on their merit rank and the seats available in their chosen quota.

Understanding your allotment order
Your allotment order is a formal document that confirms your provisional admission to a specific seat. It will contain the following key information:
• Your name, date of birth, and NEET registration number.
• Your NEET UG 2026 score and merit rank.
• Your category (General, OBC, SC, ST, Minority, NRI, etc.).
• The quota under which you have been allotted (Government, Management, or NRI).
• The name of the college allotted to you.
• The course allotted (MBBS or BDS).
• Your seat number and seat category (if applicable).
• Important dates for choice-filling, reporting, and document verification.
Read your allotment order carefully. If any information is incorrect — your name, score, category, or college — contact the DME immediately before the reporting deadline. Errors at this stage can delay or jeopardize your admission.
What happens after allotment?
Once you have received your allotment order, you must complete the following steps to confirm your admission:
1. **Choice-Filling (if applicable)**: If the counselling process includes a choice-filling stage after allotment, you may be asked to confirm or modify your choices. Follow the portal instructions and the dates given in your allotment order.
2. **Reporting to the College**: You must report to the allotted college on or before the date specified in your allotment order. Reporting means physically visiting the college, submitting your documents, and completing the admission formalities. Failure to report by the deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat.
3. **Document Verification**: At the time of reporting, the college will verify all your original documents — NEET admit card, mark sheet, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and other required documents. Ensure you carry all originals and photocopies.
4. **Fee Payment**: You will be required to pay the admission fee as per the college's fee structure. The college will provide details on the fee amount, payment method, and deadline.
5. **Seat Confirmation**: Once you have reported, submitted documents, and paid the fee, your seat will be confirmed and you will be issued an admission letter.
Important dates and deadlines
The allotment order will specify the exact dates for choice-filling, reporting, and document verification. These dates are strictly enforced — missing a deadline will result in loss of your seat. Common deadlines in Tamil Nadu counselling include:
• **Allotment Release Date**: The date on which the allotment order is published (this notice).
• **Choice-Filling Deadline**: The last date to confirm or modify your choices (if applicable).
• **Reporting Deadline**: The last date to report to your allotted college.
• **Document Verification Deadline**: The last date to submit original documents for verification.
Check your allotment order immediately for these dates. If the dates are not clearly stated in your order, visit the TN MedSelect portal or contact the DME helpline for clarification. Do not assume — confirm every deadline in writing.
Quota categories explained
This allotment covers three main quota categories. Understanding which quota your seat falls under is important because it affects your fee structure, college options, and future eligibility.
**Government Quota**: These are seats in government medical colleges run by the state. Government quota seats typically have lower fees and are highly competitive. Candidates are allotted based on merit rank and category (General, OBC, SC, ST).
**Management Quota**: These are seats in private medical colleges, including those run by minority communities (Christian, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi, etc.). Management quota seats have higher fees set by the college. Candidates are allotted based on merit rank, and colleges may have their own selection criteria.
**NRI Quota**: These are seats reserved for Non-Resident Indian candidates (Indian citizens living abroad or holding an NRI status). NRI quota seats are in both government and private colleges, and fees are typically higher. Candidates must provide proof of NRI status (passport, NRI certificate, or other valid documentation).
Your allotment order will clearly state which quota your seat falls under. This determines the college, fee structure, and any additional documents you may need to submit.
Documents you must carry for reporting
When you report to your allotted college, you must bring the following documents in original and photocopy form. Missing any of these can delay your admission or result in rejection:
• **NEET Admit Card**: Your official NEET UG 2026 admit card issued by NTA.
• **NEET Score Card / Mark Sheet**: Your official NEET result document showing your score and rank.
• **Allotment Order**: The allotment order downloaded from TN MedSelect.
• **10th and 12th Mark Sheets**: Original mark sheets or certified copies from your school.
• **10th and 12th Pass Certificates**: Original certificates or certified copies.
• **Category Certificate** (if applicable): If you have applied under OBC, SC, or ST category, bring the original category certificate issued by the competent authority. The certificate must be valid and issued within the prescribed period.
• **Minority Certificate** (if applicable): If you are applying under Minority quota, bring the original minority certificate issued by the competent authority.
• **Domicile Certificate**: Original domicile certificate proving your residence in Tamil Nadu (if required by the college).
• **Migration Certificate**: If you studied outside Tamil Nadu, bring your migration certificate from your previous school board.
• **Medical Fitness Certificate**: A certificate from a registered medical practitioner confirming you are fit for medical studies.
• **Character Certificate**: A character certificate from your school or college.
• **Passport** (for NRI candidates): Original passport and proof of NRI status.
Verify the exact list of documents required with your allotted college before reporting. Different colleges may have slightly different requirements.
Common mistakes that get applications rejected
Many candidates lose their seats due to preventable errors. Be aware of these common pitfalls:
**1. Missing the reporting deadline**: This is the most common reason for seat forfeiture. Even if you are allotted a seat, if you do not report by the specified date, your seat will be cancelled and given to the next candidate. Mark the deadline in your calendar and plan to report well in advance.
**2. Bringing photocopies instead of originals**: Colleges require original documents for verification. Photocopies alone are not accepted. Bring both originals and photocopies.
**3. Category certificate issued after the cutoff date**: Many states specify that category certificates must be issued on or before a certain date. If your certificate is issued after this date, it may not be accepted. Check the validity period of your certificate before reporting.
**4. Incomplete or incorrect category certificate**: Your category certificate must clearly state your category (OBC, SC, ST) and sub-group (if applicable). If the certificate is vague or does not match your application, it will be rejected.
**5. Not carrying the allotment order**: Your allotment order is proof of your provisional admission. Without it, the college may not process your admission. Always carry a printed copy.
**6. Failing to pay the admission fee on time**: If you do not pay the fee by the deadline, your seat may be cancelled. Confirm the fee amount and payment method with the college immediately after reporting.
**7. Discrepancies in name or date of birth**: If your name or date of birth in your NEET documents does not match your school certificates, the college may reject your application. Ensure all documents are consistent.
**8. Not verifying the allotment order for errors**: If your allotment order contains errors (wrong college, wrong course, wrong category), contact the DME immediately. Do not assume the error will be corrected later.
What if you did not get an allotment?
If your name does not appear in the allotment list, it means you were not allotted a seat in Round 2. This could happen for several reasons:
• Your NEET score is below the 92.5% cutoff set for this round.
• You did not fill choices in the previous round, or your choices were not processed.
• All seats in your category and merit range have been filled.
• There is a technical error in the portal.
If you believe you should have been allotted a seat, contact the DME helpline or visit the counselling center in person with your NEET admit card and registration details. Do not wait — contact them immediately after the allotment is released.
If you were not allotted in Round 2, you may be eligible for Round 3 (if it is conducted) or for spot counselling. Watch the TN MedSelect portal for announcements on subsequent rounds.

What does the 92.5% cutoff mean?
The 92.5% cutoff is the percentile score set by Tamil Nadu for Round 2 allotment. Only candidates who scored at or above this percentile in NEET UG 2026 are eligible for allotment in this round. If your NEET score falls below this percentile, you will not be allotted a seat in Round 2, but you may be eligible for subsequent rounds if they are conducted.
How do I download my allotment order?
Visit the TN MedSelect portal at counug.tnmedicalonline.co.in/ugmedgq, log in with your NEET registration number and password, and click on the link to download your Round 2 allotment order. The order will be in PDF format. Download and print it immediately, as you will need it for reporting to your college.
What is the difference between Government, Management, and NRI quota?
Government quota seats are in government medical colleges and have lower fees. Management quota seats are in private colleges (including minority-run institutions) and have higher fees set by the college. NRI quota seats are reserved for Non-Resident Indian candidates and are available in both government and private colleges, with fees typically higher than Government quota. Your allotment order will specify which quota your seat falls under.
What happens if I miss the reporting deadline?
If you do not report to your allotted college by the deadline specified in your allotment order, your seat will be cancelled and forfeited. The seat will then be offered to the next candidate on the merit list. There is usually no extension for the reporting deadline, so mark the date in your calendar and plan to report well in advance.
What documents do I need to bring when I report to the college?
You must bring your NEET admit card, NEET score card, allotment order, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, migration certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, character certificate, and passport (if you are an NRI candidate). Bring both originals and photocopies. Verify the exact list with your allotted college before reporting.
Can I change my allotted college or course?
The allotment order assigns you to a specific college and course based on your merit and choices. If the counselling process includes a choice-filling stage after allotment, you may be able to modify your choices within the specified deadline. However, once you have reported to the college and completed admission formalities, you cannot change your college or course. Check your allotment order for any choice-filling opportunities.
What if there is an error in my allotment order?
If your allotment order contains errors — such as incorrect name, wrong college, wrong course, or wrong category — contact the DME immediately. Do not report to the college until the error is corrected. Bring your NEET admit card and allotment order to the counselling center or contact the helpline with details of the error. Errors must be corrected before reporting to avoid complications in your admission.
What is the fee structure for Government, Management, and NRI quota seats?
The notice does not specify the exact fee amounts. Government quota seats typically have lower fees set by the state, while Management and NRI quota seats have higher fees set by the individual colleges. Contact your allotted college directly for the exact fee structure, payment method, and deadline. The college will provide this information when you report for admission.
Will there be more rounds of counselling after Round 2?
The notice does not specify whether Round 3 or spot counselling will be conducted. Watch the TN MedSelect portal for announcements on subsequent rounds. If you were not allotted in Round 2, you may be eligible for future rounds. Check the portal regularly for updates.
What if my category certificate is old or about to expire?
Category certificates must be valid and issued within the prescribed period set by Tamil Nadu. If your certificate is old or about to expire, check the validity period specified by the state. If it is no longer valid, you may need to obtain a new certificate from the competent authority before reporting to the college. Contact the DME for clarification on the validity period.
Download your allotment order immediately from the TN MedSelect portal using the link provided in this notice. Carefully read the allotment order to confirm your college, course, and quota, and note all important dates — especially the reporting deadline. Gather all required documents (originals and photocopies) and report to your allotted college on or before the deadline. Do not delay — missing the reporting deadline will result in forfeiture of your seat. If you have any questions or encounter errors in your allotment, contact the DME helpline or visit the counselling center immediately.
