The Selection Committee of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu has released a provisional list of candidates who are eligible for the Exservicemen Quota — a reserved category of Government Quota MBBS/BDS seats set aside for the wards of former defence personnel. This is for the MBBS/BDS Government Quota Course, 2026-27 session. The list runs across 13 pages and carries 366 application numbers along with candidate names. It is described as 'provisional,' meaning this is a checking stage in the counselling process, not the final allotment. Every candidate who applied under this quota should locate their own name and application number on the list to confirm they have been provisionally found eligible.
If you applied for the Exservicemen Quota in TN's MBBS/BDS Government Quota counselling for 2026-27, check this provisional list by your NEET UG application number (format 26UGxxxxxx) to confirm your eligibility status.
What is the Exservicemen Quota?
The Exservicemen Quota is a special reservation category within Tamil Nadu's Government Quota MBBS/BDS seats, meant for the children or wards of ex-servicemen (former members of the Indian Armed Forces). Candidates who claim this quota apply for it alongside their regular NEET UG application, and the Selection Committee separately verifies whether each applicant genuinely qualifies for this reservation before they are considered for a seat under it during counselling.
This provisional list is that verification step. It tells applicants whether the Selection Committee has, at this stage, found them eligible to compete for seats specifically reserved under the Exservicemen Quota.
What exactly was published
The document is titled 'Provisional List of Candidates Eligible for Exservicemen Quota of MBBS/BDS (Government Quota) Course 2026-2027 Session'. It contains three columns for every candidate: a serial number, the NEET UG application number, and the candidate's name. There are 366 candidates listed in total, spread across 13 pages.
The list only confirms eligibility for this quota — it is not a rank list, merit list, or seat allotment. Being on this list means the candidate can be considered for Exservicemen Quota seats in the counselling rounds that follow; it does not by itself guarantee a seat.

How to check your name
Every candidate who applied under the Exservicemen Quota should download the full 13-page PDF from the official Tamil Nadu medical selection website and search for their own application number (format: 26UGxxxxxx). Do not rely only on matching your name, since many names repeat or are spelled similarly — the application number is the unique identifier.
If your application number appears on the list, you are provisionally confirmed as eligible for the Exservicemen Quota for this counselling session. If it does not appear, it means the Selection Committee has not currently found you eligible for this specific quota — this notice does not explain the reason for exclusion, so affected candidates should watch the official website for any further communication or clarification process.
- Open the official PDF on the Tamil Nadu medical selection website.
- Search using Ctrl+F (on a computer) or your PDF reader's search tool for your application number.
- Confirm the spelling of your name against your NEET UG application to rule out any data-entry mismatch.
- Keep a copy or screenshot of the page showing your entry, for your records.
Why 'provisional' matters
The notice explicitly calls this a 'provisional' list. In counselling processes, a provisional list is typically issued so that candidates can verify their details before a final decision is made. This particular notice does not state a deadline, an objection window, or a process for candidates to raise a grievance if they believe there is an error in their eligibility status or if their name/application number is missing.
Because no such process is mentioned in this document, candidates who spot a discrepancy — or who expected to be on the list but are not — should not assume there is no recourse. They should check the official Tamil Nadu medical counselling website regularly for any follow-up notice that explains how to raise concerns, rather than waiting passively.
What this list does not tell you
This is purely an eligibility list for one specific reservation category. It does not contain rank, marks, category status for other quotas (such as SC/ST/OBC/EWS or PwD), college preferences, or any seat allotment. Being on this list simply means you can be considered for Exservicemen Quota seats when the Government Quota counselling rounds are conducted; your actual seat, if any, will depend on your NEET UG rank, the number of Exservicemen Quota seats available, and how counselling rounds proceed.
