Unlock My College ListWhat is this list and why does it matter?
This is a provisional eligibility list released by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee for candidates seeking admission to postgraduate medical courses (MD, MS, PG Diploma) under the Management Quota through the Telugu Minority category. The Management Quota allows private and deemed medical colleges to fill a portion of their PG seats through their own selection process, separate from the main NEET-PG merit-based counselling.
Being on this list means you have submitted your application and met the basic eligibility requirements for the Telugu Minority category. However, this is not an allotment or admission confirmation—it is only the first step. You will still need to participate in the Management Quota counselling process, pay the required fees, and secure a seat at a participating college.
Who is eligible for Telugu Minority Management Quota?
To be eligible for the Telugu Minority category under Management Quota, you must satisfy the following criteria: (1) You must be an MBBS graduate with a valid NEET-PG score or be eligible to appear for NEET-PG 2026. (2) You must belong to the Telugu linguistic minority community as defined by Tamil Nadu regulations. (3) You must have applied for Management Quota seats within the prescribed application window. (4) Your application must have been complete and submitted before the deadline.
The Telugu Minority category is a reserved category under the Management Quota system in Tamil Nadu. This means seats are specifically set aside for candidates from the Telugu-speaking community. If you are on this provisional list, the committee has verified that your application meets these basic criteria, but final confirmation will depend on document verification and the counselling process.
- Valid MBBS degree or eligibility to appear for NEET-PG 2026
- Proof of Telugu Minority status as per Tamil Nadu norms
- Completed application submitted before the deadline
- No disqualifying factors (criminal record, medical unfitness, etc.)
How to verify your name on the list
The provisional list contains 219 candidates arranged in serial number order (SNO 1 to 219). Each entry shows three columns: Serial Number, Application Number (APP_NO), and Candidate Name. To find yourself, search for your application number (which begins with '26PG' followed by six digits, e.g., 26PG200005) or your name.
The list is divided across 8 pages. If you do not find your name or application number, it could mean: (1) Your application was not received or was incomplete. (2) Your application did not meet the eligibility criteria for this category. (3) There was an error in data entry. If you believe you should be on the list, contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee immediately with proof of your application submission.

(2) A counselling schedule for the Management Quota round. (3) Instructions on how to register for counselling and fill in your choice of colleges and specialties. (4) The final allotment of seats based on your choices and merit within the Management Quota system.
It is critical that you monitor the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website (tnmedicalselection.net) and any official notifications for updates. Missing a deadline or failing to appear for document verification can result in your disqualification, even if you are on this provisional list.

Important: This is a provisional list—corrections may be made
The word 'provisional' is crucial. This list is not final. The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee may make corrections, additions, or deletions based on further verification of applications. If there are errors in your name, application number, or other details, you must report them immediately to the committee with supporting evidence.
Do not assume that being on this provisional list guarantees your seat. The list is subject to: (1) Verification of documents during the document verification stage. (2) Confirmation that you meet all eligibility criteria. (3) Confirmation that your NEET-PG score (if required) is valid. (4) Confirmation that you have no disqualifying factors. Any discrepancy discovered during verification can lead to your removal from the list.
- ⚠️ This is NOT a final allotment or admission list

- ✅ Verify all your details match your application exactly
- ✅ Keep all original documents ready for verification
Documents you must prepare for the next stage
Once you are called for document verification, you will need to present original copies of several documents. Prepare these now to avoid last-minute delays.

Understanding the Management Quota system
The Management Quota is a system that allows private and deemed medical colleges to fill a portion of their postgraduate seats through their own selection process. Unlike the main NEET-PG merit-based counselling run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) or state authorities, Management Quota seats are allocated by individual colleges or through state-level Management Quota counselling. In Tamil Nadu, the state conducts a centralized Management Quota counselling process for eligible candidates.
The Management Quota is separate from the General, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories in the main NEET-PG counselling. Being on this Telugu Minority Management Quota list means you are eligible to compete for seats reserved specifically for Telugu minorities under the Management Quota system. The number of seats available, the colleges participating, and the specialties offered will be announced in the seat matrix, which will be released before counselling begins.
- Management Quota seats are filled through state-level counselling, not MCC
- These seats are offered by private and deemed medical colleges
- Telugu Minority is a reserved category within Management Quota
- Seats available and participating colleges will be announced in the seat matrix
- Counselling process, fees, and allotment rules will be notified separately
Common mistakes that can get you disqualified
Many candidates lose their seats or are disqualified due to preventable errors. Here are the most common mistakes: (1) Not appearing for document verification on the scheduled date and time. (2) Submitting photocopies instead of original documents. (3) Providing an incorrect or expired Telugu Minority certificate. (4) Failing to pay the counselling fee or seat acceptance fee on time. (5) Not registering for counselling or not filling in choice of colleges. (6) Providing false information in the application.
To avoid these mistakes, mark all important dates on your calendar, keep all documents organized and easily accessible, verify that your Telugu Minority certificate is valid and issued by the competent authority, and follow every instruction in the official notifications carefully. If you are unsure about any requirement, contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee directly rather than guessing.

- ⚠️ Expired or invalid Telugu Minority certificate = ineligibility
- ⚠️ Not paying fees by deadline = seat cancellation

See My CollegesFrequently asked questions
I found my name on the provisional list. Does this mean I have been admitted?
No. Being on the provisional list means you are eligible to participate in the Management Quota counselling process. It is not an admission or allotment. You still need to pass document verification, participate in counselling, fill in your choices, and be allotted a seat. Only after you accept an allotted seat and complete the joining process will you be admitted.
My name is not on the list. What should I do?
If you believe you should be on the list, contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee immediately with proof of your application submission (application number, receipt, email confirmation, etc.). The list is provisional and corrections may be made. However, if your application was incomplete, did not meet eligibility criteria, or was not submitted before the deadline, you may not be eligible. Contact the committee to clarify your status.
What is the Telugu Minority category, and how is it different from other reserved categories?
The Telugu Minority category is a reserved category for candidates belonging to the Telugu-speaking community in Tamil Nadu. It is specific to the Management Quota system and is separate from the General, OBC, SC, ST, and other categories in the main NEET-PG counselling. To be eligible, you must have a valid Telugu Minority certificate issued by the competent authority.
When will document verification happen, and what documents do I need?
The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee will announce the document verification dates, venue, and time in a separate notification. Typically, you will need to bring original copies of your MBBS degree, NEET-PG scorecard, Telugu Minority certificate, caste/community certificate (if applicable), medical fitness certificate, character certificate, and proof of identity. Start gathering these documents now.
Is there a fee for Management Quota counselling, and when do I need to pay it?
Yes, there is typically a counselling registration fee for Management Quota. The exact amount and payment deadline will be announced in the official notification. Payment is usually made online through the official portal. Failure to pay by the deadline can result in your disqualification, so mark the date carefully.
Can I participate in both the main NEET-PG counselling and the Management Quota counselling?
Yes, you can participate in both. However, if you are allotted a seat in the main NEET-PG counselling and accept it, you may not be able to participate in Management Quota counselling, depending on the rules. Check the official guidelines carefully. If you are allotted a seat in Management Quota and accept it, you will typically have to withdraw from the main counselling.
What happens if I don't appear for document verification?
If you do not appear for document verification on the scheduled date and time, you will be automatically disqualified from the Management Quota counselling process. Your name will be removed from the eligible list, and you will not be able to participate in counselling or be allotted a seat. There is usually no provision for re-verification on a different date, so mark the date carefully and plan accordingly.
How many seats are available under the Telugu Minority Management Quota?
The number of seats available will be announced in the seat matrix, which will be released before counselling begins. The seat matrix will show the number of Telugu Minority Management Quota seats available at each participating college and for each specialty. This information will be published on the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website.
What is the difference between a provisional list and a final list?
A provisional list is subject to corrections and verification. Candidates on the provisional list are eligible to proceed to the next stage (document verification), but their eligibility is not final. A final list is released after document verification and confirms that all candidates have been verified and are eligible to participate in counselling. Being on the provisional list does not guarantee being on the final list.
If I am allotted a seat, when do I need to join the college?
The joining date will be announced in the allotment notification. You will typically have a few days to report to the college with your original documents and complete the admission formalities. Failure to join by the deadline can result in your seat being cancelled and offered to the next candidate. The exact joining date and procedure will be specified in the official notification.
Can I change my choice of colleges or specialties after counselling registration?
Yes, you can usually modify your choices during the choice-filling window. However, once the choice-filling window closes, you cannot make any changes. The exact rules and timelines will be specified in the counselling notification. Plan your choices carefully and submit them before the deadline.
What should I do if there is an error in my name or application number on the list?
Contact the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee immediately with proof of the error and supporting documents. Errors in name spelling, application number, or other details must be corrected before document verification. The committee will issue a correction notification if the error is valid. Do not ignore errors—they can cause problems during verification and allotment.
If your name appears on this provisional list, your next steps are: (1) Verify that all your details (name, application number, category) are correct. (2) Start gathering all required original documents for document verification. (3) Monitor the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website (tnmedicalselection.net) daily for announcements of document verification dates, counselling schedule, and seat matrix. (4) Mark all important dates on your calendar and plan to appear for document verification on time. Do not delay—missing any deadline can result in disqualification.
