Round 1 Result: What Happened
Tamil Nadu’s medical counselling for the 2026-27 session ran behind its original timeline. The Selection Committee had initially scheduled the Round 1 results for August 21, but extended the choice-filling and locking window twice to accommodate candidates, pushing the deadline to August 24, 5 pm. Seat allotment processing followed on August 24 and 25, and the result was finalised for release on August 27.
The delay applies only to the state counselling for MBBS and BDS seats and is separate from the All India Quota counselling run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which follows its own schedule.
Along with the general Round 1 result, the Selection Committee had already published allotment lists for special categories on August 14: persons with disabilities (PwD), ex-servicemen wards, sportspersons, and candidates claiming the 7.5% government school quota. These lists are separate from the main Round 1 allotment, and candidates in these categories should check both.

Reporting and Document Verification
Candidates allotted a seat must report in person to their allotted college within the deadline to complete document verification and confirm admission. Colleges typically require the NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and passing certificates, the Round 1 allotment letter, community certificate (for reserved categories), nativity or domicile certificate, transfer certificate, and recent passport-size photographs, along with self-attested photocopies of each. Candidates should confirm the exact list and fee payment details on the allotment letter itself, since requirements can vary slightly by course and quota.
Candidates who fail to report within the given deadline forfeit the allotted seat, and it is treated as a vacancy for the next round of counselling.
What Happens Next
Vacant seats after Round 1 reporting will be considered for Round 2 counselling. The Selection Committee is expected to announce the Round 2 schedule, including fresh registration or choice-filling windows for eligible candidates, after the Round 1 reporting deadline of September 5 ends. Candidates should keep checking tnmedicalselection.net for the Round 2 notification, since dates for state medical counselling have changed more than once this year.
