TN DME Releases Addendum to Provisional Rank List for MBBS/BDS 2026-27 (Government Quota) — Check Your Name

Tamil Nadu's Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME) has issued a 14-page addendum to the Provisional Rank List for MBBS/BDS Government Quota admissions, 2026-27 session. It lists candidates by rank, application number, NEET roll number, community and community-wise rank. Here's how to read it and what to check.

The Selection Committee under the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu, has published an Addendum to the Provisional Rank List for MBBS/BDS admissions under the Government Quota for the 2026-27 session. This is a supplementary list — it adds or updates entries in the original provisional rank list used for Tamil Nadu's state-level NEET UG counselling. The 14-page document lists candidates by their rank, application number, NEET UG 2026 roll number, name, community, NEET marks and community-wise rank, with ranks running from 249A up to 35878A. This is not a new exam result or a fresh announcement of the counselling schedule — it is a correction/addition to the rank list that Tamil Nadu candidates need to check before counselling proceeds.

If you applied for Tamil Nadu's Government Quota MBBS/BDS counselling, search this addendum by your application number or NEET UG 2026 roll number to confirm your rank, community and community-rank are recorded correctly — because this provisional list is the basis on which your counselling seat will later be decided.

TN Selection Committee (DME) — ADDENDUM TO THE PROVISIONAL RANK LIST FOR MBBS/BDS 2026 - 2027 SESSION (GOVERNMENT QUOTA)Official PDF notice published by TN Selection Committee (DME). Always confirm details against the official document.

What exactly is an 'addendum to the provisional rank list'?

When Tamil Nadu's DME first publishes its Provisional Rank List for Government Quota MBBS/BDS seats, it is based on NEET UG scores and the reservation category each candidate has claimed. An addendum is issued afterwards to add candidates who were missed, insert corrected entries, or update details — without having to reprint or renumber the entire original list.

You will notice most ranks in this addendum carry a letter suffix such as 'A' or 'B' (for example, 5613A and 5628A, or 20152A and 20152B). This is the usual way DME inserts an additional candidate at the correct position in an existing list — a new entry is slotted in right after the rank it falls near, using a letter, so everyone else's original rank number does not have to change. A few rows in the list have no letter at all; these are plain numeric entries.

Because it is still called 'Provisional', this is not the final rank list. It reflects DME's current data and is open to correction.

How to read your entry: the seven columns

Each row in the addendum gives seven pieces of information about a candidate. Understanding each column will help you check your own entry without confusion.

  • Rank — your position in the overall Government Quota provisional merit list (with the letter suffix explained above, where applicable).
  • AppNo. — your Tamil Nadu counselling application number (format: 26UGxxxxxx).
  • NEET UG 2026 Roll Number — the roll number from your actual NEET UG 2026 exam admit card. Use this to double check that the entry truly belongs to you.
  • Name — the candidate's name as recorded by DME. Check the spelling carefully against your certificates.
  • Community — the reservation category under which you are listed (OC, BC, BCM, MBC&DNC, SC, SCA, or ST).
  • NEET Mark — the NEET UG 2026 score used for this ranking.
  • Community Rank — your rank within your own reservation category. Candidates under 'OC' (Open Competition, i.e., no reservation claimed) do not get a community rank — that column is left blank for them, which is normal and not an error.

Understanding the community category codes

Tamil Nadu's counselling reservation structure uses several short codes. If your entry shows a category you did not expect, or if a code is unfamiliar, check the table below before assuming there is a mistake.

Things every candidate must check — and common traps

This is a provisional document, and provisional lists are exactly where small errors — a swapped digit in a roll number, a misspelled name, or a wrongly recorded community — need to be caught early, because they can affect your seat allotment later.

Do not rely on your name alone to find your entry — several candidates in this list share similar or identical names (for example, more than one 'Kavya S' or 'Sanjay' appears across pages). Always cross-check using your own application number and NEET UG 2026 roll number.

If you are in the OC category, remember that you will not have a 'Community Rank' value — an empty cell there does not mean your entry is missing or wrong.

If your community code, NEET marks, or roll number do not match your own records, note the discrepancy immediately. This document does not itself list a correction procedure, deadline, or contact details — for that, refer to the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee counselling notifications and website.

What this means for your counselling process

This addendum by itself does not announce counselling dates, choice-filling, seat allotment or document verification steps. It only updates the merit position on which Tamil Nadu's Government Quota counselling for MBBS/BDS will later be based. Because the list is 'provisional', DME may issue further corrections before it becomes final.

Keep watching the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee (TN MedSelect) website and notices for the next steps in the 2026-27 counselling cycle — such as the final rank list, counselling schedule, and document verification requirements — since none of those are covered in this particular document.

Frequently asked questions

Is this the final rank list for TN MBBS/BDS 2026-27 admissions?

No. The document is explicitly titled an 'Addendum to the Provisional Rank List' — it updates the provisional list, not the final one. Further lists or corrections may follow.

How do I find my own entry in this addendum?

Search using your application number (format 26UGxxxxxx) or your NEET UG 2026 roll number rather than just your name, since several candidates share similar names across the 14 pages.

Why does my entry not show a Community Rank even though I have a rank?

If your community is listed as OC (Open Competition), you will not have a separate community rank — that column stays blank for OC candidates because OC is the unreserved category.

What does the letter 'A' or 'B' after my rank number mean?

It usually indicates that your entry has been inserted into the existing provisional rank list at that position, without disturbing the rank numbers already assigned to other candidates. A few entries in the addendum have no letter at all.

My name, roll number or community looks wrong in the list — what should I do?

This document does not itself specify a correction process or deadline. Check the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website/notices for how to report discrepancies in the provisional rank list.

Does this addendum cover both MBBS and BDS seats?

Yes, the title states it is for the 'MBBS/BDS 2026-27 Session (Government Quota)', so it applies to Government Quota seats in both courses.

Is this list only for Tamil Nadu candidates?

This is a state-level list issued by the Tamil Nadu DME Selection Committee for its Government Quota counselling, so it applies to candidates participating in Tamil Nadu's state NEET UG counselling process.

Go through all 14 pages of the addendum carefully and match your entry using your application number and NEET UG 2026 roll number, not just your name. If anything looks incorrect, keep a screenshot as proof and watch the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website for the process to flag errors and for the next counselling updates.
