Unlock My College ListWhat is the CMC 20% Quota?
The CMC 20% quota refers to 20% of government postgraduate medical seats in Tamil Nadu that are reserved and filled through a special allocation mechanism. CMC stands for Christian Medical College, and this quota is part of the government's seat distribution policy for PG medical courses (MD, MS, and PG Diploma). These seats are filled during the government quota counselling process, which is separate from the open merit counselling.
Under the government quota system, seats are divided into different categories and quotas. The CMC 20% is one such reserved category. Candidates who appear on this provisional eligibility list have met the initial criteria set by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee and are now eligible to participate in the counselling rounds where these seats will be allotted based on merit, choice of specialty, and category.
Who Is on This List?
This provisional list contains 576 NEET-PG candidates whose application numbers range from 26PG100007 to 26PG108763. The list is organized by serial number (SNO), application number (APP_NO), and candidate name. The application numbers all begin with "26PG," indicating they are from the 2026 NEET-PG examination cycle. Each candidate on this list has been provisionally verified as meeting the eligibility criteria for the CMC 20% quota.
The list spans 20 pages and includes candidates from across Tamil Nadu. The names suggest a diverse candidate pool. Being on this provisional list means your basic eligibility has been confirmed, but it does not guarantee a seat — allotment depends on your rank, specialty choice, and availability of seats during counselling rounds.
How to Find Your Name on the List
To verify if you are eligible, search for your application number in the list. Your application number is a unique identifier assigned to you when you registered for NEET-PG counselling. It follows the format 26PG followed by six digits (e.g., 26PG100007). The list is organized by serial number, not alphabetically, so searching by application number is the fastest method.
The list is presented in a table format with three columns: SNO (serial number), APP_NO (your application number), and NAME (your full name as registered). Cross-check both your application number and your name to ensure there are no errors. If you find your name and application number match, you are provisionally eligible. If your name does not appear, you are not eligible for this quota, and you should check other quota lists or contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee for clarification.

What 'Provisional' Means
The word 'provisional' is critical. This list is not final. It means the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee has conducted an initial verification of candidates' eligibility based on the documents and information submitted during registration. However, the list is subject to further scrutiny and may be updated if errors are discovered or if candidates fail to meet the actual eligibility criteria upon detailed verification.
Candidates on this provisional list may be removed if, during the verification process, it is found that they do not meet the eligibility requirements (for example, if their NEET-PG score is below the cutoff, if they lack the required MBBS degree, or if their category certificate is invalid). Conversely, candidates not on this list may be added if an error is corrected. Always monitor official announcements from the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee for any updates or corrections to this list.
- Provisional = subject to verification and correction
- List may be updated before final counselling
- Candidates may be removed if eligibility is not confirmed
- Check official website regularly for amendments
What Happens Next After This List?
Once this provisional list is finalized (after any corrections or removals), eligible candidates will be invited to participate in the government quota counselling rounds. The exact dates and process will be announced separately by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee. Counselling typically involves registering on the online portal, filling in your choice of specialties and colleges in order of preference, and then waiting for seat allotment based on your rank and choices.
The counselling process for government quota seats usually happens in multiple rounds. In each round, seats are allotted based on merit rank, category, and the candidate's choice of specialty and college. If you are allotted a seat in an earlier round, you can accept it or wait for the next round. If you do not get a seat in earlier rounds, you remain in the pool for subsequent rounds. It is essential to stay updated with the official website and email notifications from the DME.

Important: Verify Your Eligibility Criteria Now
Being on this provisional list assumes you meet all the basic eligibility criteria for NEET-PG postgraduate medical counselling. However, you should independently verify that you meet the following requirements: (1) You hold a valid MBBS degree from a recognized medical college in India. (2) You have appeared for and qualified in NEET-PG 2026. (3) Your NEET-PG score meets or exceeds the cutoff for the CMC 20% quota (cutoff scores vary by category and are announced separately). (4) You belong to the correct category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.) and have valid category certificates if applicable.
If you are unsure about any of these criteria, contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee or your medical college immediately.

Ensure all your documents are in order and that your category certificate (if applicable) is valid and issued by the correct authority.
