The Selection Committee of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu, has put up a dedicated online portal where candidates claiming a seat under the PWD (Persons with Disability) category can upload their PWD certificate for MBBS and BDS admissions in the 2026-27 session. This is not a fresh application form — it is the specific step where PWD-category candidates submit proof of their disability certificate as part of the Tamil Nadu medical/dental admission process. Access is through login credentials, and the page also lets candidates reset a forgotten password using an OTP sent to their registered mobile number.
PWD-category candidates applying for MBBS/BDS in Tamil Nadu for the 2026-27 session must log in to the TN DME portal and upload their PWD certificate to have their disability claim considered in counselling.
What this portal is for
This page is part of the Tamil Nadu medical/dental (MBBS/BDS) online admission system run by the Directorate of Medical Education. It is meant specifically for candidates who are claiming a seat or a relaxation under the PWD (Persons with Disability) quota.
Through this portal, such candidates upload their PWD certificate — the official document that certifies the type and percentage of disability, usually issued by a government medical board. This certificate is what the Selection Committee uses to verify a candidate's PWD claim before counselling.
How to access the portal
Candidates need to sign in using credentials created earlier in the TN medical admission process. If a candidate has forgotten their password, the portal provides a reset option using their registered mobile number and a one-time password (OTP).
- Login using: Login ID / Email ID / Application Number, plus Password
- Forgot password: enter your Registered Mobile Number and click 'Generate OTP'
- Enter the OTP received, then set a New Password and Confirm Password
- Submit the new password to regain access, then log in normally
Why this step matters
If a PWD-category candidate does not upload the required certificate through this portal, their disability claim may not be recognised during seat allotment. This can affect eligibility for PWD quota seats or any relaxations linked to the PWD category (such as relaxed eligibility criteria, where applicable, under NEET UG and state counselling rules).
Because the notice itself does not specify a certificate format, issuing authority requirements, or a submission deadline, candidates should treat this as a reminder to check the TN DME admission website closely and follow whatever detailed instructions, formats, or dates are published alongside this portal for the 2026-27 session.
What the notice does NOT tell us — and why that matters
This particular notice is essentially a portal/login page. It does not spell out the exact PWD certificate format accepted, the issuing authority, the disability percentage threshold, or a specific last date to upload the certificate.
Because MedAdmit only reports what an official notice actually states, we are not able to give you those specifics here. Do not assume any deadline or certificate requirement — always confirm the exact rules from the official TN DME portal or the detailed admission brochure/prospectus for MBBS/BDS 2026-27, which typically carries the fine print on accepted certificates and cut-off dates.

Does this notice give a deadline to upload the PWD certificate?
No. The notice available does not mention a specific last date. Candidates should keep checking the official TN DME admission website for the exact schedule and any detailed instructions.
Does this notice specify what type of PWD certificate is accepted?
No, it does not specify the format or issuing authority for the certificate. Refer to the official Tamil Nadu MBBS/BDS admission prospectus for 2026-27 for those details before uploading.
Is this the same as applying for NEET UG counselling in Tamil Nadu?
No. This is a specific step within the Tamil Nadu counselling process for candidates in the PWD category, meant for certificate verification, not the main counselling application itself.
