The Selection Committee under the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu, has released the provisional list of candidates allotted MBBS and BDS seats under the Management Quota for the 2026-27 academic session. Published on 27 August 2026, the list covers seats filled through the Management Quota (MQ), the NRI quota, and several linguistic and religious minority quotas at self-financing, deemed and private medical and dental colleges across Tamil Nadu. It runs to 119 pages and names close to 1,950 candidates, each entry showing an application number, NEET total marks, the allotted college and course, and the exact quota category the seat was given under. This is a result — a seat allotment output — not a fresh application window, so candidates must check whether their name and application number appear and then act accordingly. Because it is explicitly marked "provisional," the list can still be corrected, so candidates should keep watching the official portal.
If your application number appears in this list, you have been provisionally allotted a specific MBBS or BDS seat at a named Tamil Nadu college under Management Quota, NRI quota or a minority quota — verify it by application number (not just your name) and note the college, course and category shown.
What This List Is
This document is the "Provisional List of Candidates Allotted" for the MBBS/BDS (Management Quota) Course, Session 2026-2027, allotted on 27.08.2026. It is issued by the Selection Committee functioning under the Directorate of Medical Education and Research (DME), Tamil Nadu — the state body that coordinates the Management Quota counselling process for self-financing and private medical and dental colleges.
Unlike the government (merit/counselling) quota, Management Quota seats are filled by individual self-financing colleges within rules set by the state, and NRI-quota seats are a separate category within the same colleges. This list consolidates the outcome of that process into one official record so candidates, parents and colleges can verify who has been allotted what.
Understanding the Quota Labels Used in the List
Each candidate's row ends with two pieces of quota information: the broad allotment type (for example, "MQ_MBBS (SF Colleges)" or "NRI_MBBS (SF Colleges)") and a more specific category label. These labels are not interchangeable — they describe different eligibility routes within the same Management Quota counselling.
| Label seen in the list | What it means |
|---|---|
| MQ_MBBS (SF Colleges) | General Management Quota MBBS seat at a self-financing college |
| MQ_BDS (SF Colleges) | General Management Quota BDS seat at a self-financing college |
| MQ_MBBS (Private) | Management Quota MBBS seat at a private university college (e.g., a college run by a private university) |
| NRI_MBBS / NRI_BDS (SF Colleges) | Seat allotted under the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota, usually carrying a different fee structure |
| CMC General | General-category management seats specifically at Christian Medical College, Vellore |
| CMC Staff | Seats reserved for wards of Christian Medical College, Vellore staff |
| Minority Network | Christian minority quota seats at Christian Medical College, Vellore, allotted through its minority network |
| Management Quota | Standard management quota category at colleges other than CMC Vellore |
| Telugu Minority / Christian Minority / Malayalam Minority | Seats reserved for the stated linguistic or religious minority community at specific colleges (for example, Malayalam Minority seats appear at Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences, Kanyakumari) |
How to Read Your Row in the List
Every entry has seven data points: a serial number (SNO), a general rank (GRANK), the NEET application number (APP.NO, in the format 26UGxxxxxx), the candidate's name, total NEET marks (T.MARK), the allotted course and college (ALLOTTED TO), and the specific quota category (CATEGORY).
Because many candidates share common names, the safest way to confirm your own allotment is to search by your unique application number, not by name alone. A few rows show "0" under GRANK — this appears mainly against NRI-quota entries, where a state merit rank is not the basis of allotment.
- SNO — position in this particular list, not your overall merit rank
- GRANK — general rank used for this allotment round (may show 0 for some NRI-quota seats)
- APP.NO — your unique NEET UG application number; use this to search accurately
- T.MARK — total NEET marks scored
- ALLOTTED TO — the quota type, course (MBBS/BDS) and the exact college name
- CATEGORY — the specific sub-quota (e.g., CMC Staff, Telugu Minority, Management Quota, NRI)
Colleges Covered in This Allotment Round
The list spans a wide range of self-financing and private medical and dental colleges across Tamil Nadu. Marks of allotted candidates range from over 670 at the top down to below 200 for some NRI and minority-quota seats — a reminder that Management Quota, NRI quota and minority quota seats are filled college-by-college and category-by-category, not against one single statewide cut-off.

Why "Provisional" Matters — Do Not Skip This
The title of the notice explicitly calls this a "Provisional List." That word is important: it signals that the allotment can still be corrected — for a spelling error, a wrong category tag, a marks mismatch, or any other data issue — before it becomes final. The notice itself does not spell out a correction window, an objection process, or a confirmation deadline, so candidates should not assume any date on their own.
The safest approach is to treat this list as confirmation that a seat has provisionally been reserved for you, and to independently verify every detail — your name, application number, marks, allotted college, course and category — exactly as printed. If anything looks wrong, do not wait; contact the Selection Committee or the allotted college directly rather than assuming it will be auto-corrected.
What the Notice Does Not Tell You
This PDF is purely the allotment result — it does not contain reporting dates, the list of documents to carry, admission fees, or a deadline to accept or forfeit the seat. Candidates should not rely on assumptions about these from other years or other rounds; instead, check the official TN Medical Selection website or contact the allotted college directly for these next-step details, since none of them are part of this particular notice.

What exactly is this notice?
It is the provisional list of candidates allotted MBBS and BDS seats under Tamil Nadu's Management Quota — including NRI quota and various minority quotas — for the 2026-27 session, released by the DME Selection Committee on 27 August 2026.
Is this the final allotment, or can it change?
It is explicitly titled a "Provisional List," meaning it can still be revised or corrected. The notice does not mention when or how it becomes final, so keep checking the official portal.
How do I check if I've been allotted a seat?
Search the list using your NEET UG application number (format 26UGxxxxxx) rather than just your name, since many names repeat. Your row will show your marks, allotted college, course and quota category.
What does GRank of '0' mean for some candidates?
It appears mainly against NRI-quota entries in this list, where allotment is not driven by a single general merit rank in the way it is for Management Quota seats.
What are 'CMC General', 'CMC Staff' and 'Minority Network'?
These are quota labels used only for Christian Medical College, Vellore — CMC General covers general management seats, CMC Staff is reserved for wards of CMC staff, and Minority Network refers to CMC's Christian minority quota.
What do 'Telugu Minority', 'Christian Minority' and 'Malayalam Minority' mean?
These are seats reserved for the stated linguistic or religious minority community at specific colleges — for example, Malayalam Minority seats appear at Sree Mookambika Institute of Medical Sciences in Kanyakumari.
My name doesn't appear in this list — what should I do?
This document covers only this specific Management Quota/NRI allotment round. Not appearing here does not automatically mean anything beyond this round; check the official TN Medical Selection website for other rounds or updates rather than assuming a final outcome.
What should I do after finding my name in the list?
Note down your allotted college, course and category exactly as printed, and contact that college or the DME Selection Committee for reporting dates, required documents and fee details — none of these are included in this particular notice.
Where can I view the official list myself?
On tnmedicalselection.net, the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection portal, which hosted this notice.
Search this list carefully by your application number, confirm the college, course and category shown against your name, and treat every detail as provisional until you verify it independently. Since this notice does not include reporting dates, documents or fees, check the official TN Medical Selection portal or contact your allotted college directly for those next steps.
