The Selection Committee of the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu, has published a provisional list of candidates who are eligible for the Exservicemen Quota in the MBBS/BDS (Government Quota) admissions for the 2026-27 session. This quota reserves a certain number of government quota MBBS and BDS seats in Tamil Nadu for children or dependants of ex-servicemen. The list, spread across 13 pages, names 365 candidates along with their application numbers. This is not a rank list or a seat allotment — it only confirms which candidates have provisionally cleared the eligibility check for this specific quota category. Candidates who applied under this quota should check whether their application number appears on the list.
365 candidates have been provisionally found eligible for the Exservicemen Quota in Tamil Nadu's MBBS/BDS Government Quota counselling for 2026-27 — candidates must verify their own application number on the published list.
What is the Exservicemen Quota?
In Tamil Nadu's MBBS/BDS Government Quota counselling, a portion of seats is set aside under special reservation categories, one of which is the Exservicemen Quota. This quota is meant for the children or dependants of ex-servicemen (retired defence personnel) who meet the eligibility conditions set for this category.
To be considered under this quota, a candidate must have applied for it separately at the time of registration and submitted the relevant supporting documents (such as proof of the parent's ex-servicemen status) for verification by the Selection Committee.
What This Notice Contains
The document is titled 'MBBS/BDS (Government Quota) Course 2026-2027 Session — Provisional List of Candidates Eligible for Exservicemen Quota.' It lists 365 candidates in total, running across 13 pages, each entry showing a serial number, the candidate's application number (in the format 26UGxxxxxx), and the candidate's name.
There is no rank, marks, or seat information in this list — it is purely a list of names that have been provisionally cleared as eligible to compete for seats under the Exservicemen Quota.

Why This List Matters
If you applied for the government quota MBBS/BDS seats in Tamil Nadu under the Exservicemen category, this list tells you whether your eligibility for that specific quota has been provisionally accepted. Only candidates on this list can be considered for seats reserved under the Exservicemen Quota during counselling.
Being on this list does not guarantee a seat — it only means you are in the pool of candidates who can compete for the limited number of seats reserved under this category. Your final allotment will still depend on your NEET UG rank, seat availability, and your choices during counselling rounds.
Understanding the Word 'Provisional'
The list is explicitly marked 'provisional.' This means the Selection Committee has done an initial check of eligibility, but the list is not final. In such notices, provisional status is typically subject to further verification — for instance, at the time of document verification during counselling, when originals are checked against the claim made in the application.
The notice itself does not specify a separate objection window or a deadline for raising discrepancies about this particular list. Candidates who believe there is an error (for example, their application number is missing despite applying under this quota) should watch the official TN Medical Selection website for any further communication or contact the Selection Committee through the channels mentioned on the portal.
How to Check Your Name on the List
Since the list only shows application numbers and names — not NEET roll numbers — you must locate your own application number (in the format 26UGxxxxxx) that you received when you registered for TN MBBS/BDS Government Quota counselling for the 2026-27 session.
Search through all 13 pages of the notice carefully, as entries are not arranged alphabetically or by application number — they appear in serial order as processed by the Selection Committee.
- Keep your registered application number handy.
- Check every page — the list is not alphabetical.
- If your name does not appear, do not assume automatic rejection; check the official portal for any clarification process before drawing conclusions.
- Save or download a copy of the list for your records.
