TN MBBS & BDS Round 2 schedule 2026

Identical for both the 92.5% pool (Government and Management Quota, including NRI and minority seats) and the 7.5% pool for Tamil Nadu government school students. Stages up to 14 September are complete:

Ranks and NEET marks called in Round 2

These are the bands the Selection Committee has called for Round 2. If your general rank falls inside the band for your pool, you are eligible to take part.

Round 2 rules that decide what you should do

Upgrading costs you the Round 1 seat. If you opt for upgradation and are re-allotted in Round 2, you must relinquish the Round 1 seat and join the new one. You have no rights over the Round 1 seat afterwards — even if you never report to the Round 2 college. So only opt for upgradation if you would genuinely accept every college you list.

Fresh allotments get a free exit. A candidate freshly allotted in Round 2 who does not report can still take part in later rounds without forfeiture. That protection does not extend to upgrade cases.

Fill choices against the virtual vacancy list. Virtual vacancies are seats held by candidates who have opted to upgrade and will be released if they do. TN processes them on 9 September — the day choice filling opens — so a college showing no clear vacancy today can still be allotted to you.

Choose preferred colleges only. Allotment is strictly by rank down your locked list. Listing a college you would not actually join is how candidates end up trapped in a seat they did not want.

Fee payment is part of downloading the allotment order. Freshly allotted candidates must pay tuition fee online to download the provisional allotment order. SC/SCA/ST/SCC candidates allotted under Government and Management Quota are exempt from the upfront payment subject to the parental income condition in the notification.

Round 2 result day — what happens on 15 September

The result is published on the same portal you filled choices on. Three groups of candidates read it differently:

Fee at download. The allotment order is released only after the tuition fee is paid online; SC/SCA/ST/SCC candidates under Government and Management Quota are exempt from the upfront payment subject to the parental income condition. Documents to carry: the allotment order, NEET 2026 admit card and scorecard, class 10 and 12 mark sheets, transfer and conduct certificates, community and nativity certificates, and the 7.5% eligibility certificate where applicable.

Resignation portal for Round 1 joiners

Under Notification No.25 (7 September) the resignation portal has been open since 9 September. It applies only to candidates who joined in Round 1; a candidate who never joined has nothing to resign. Log in with the original credentials, download the resignation letter and hand it to the college for return of the originals. Resign before the Committee’s stipulated date and it is a free exit — no fee forfeiture — but the seat is then shown vacant in the next round and cannot be claimed back.

After Round 2: Round 3 and the stray round

Round 3 is open — checked 29 September 2026. The Selection Committee’s tentative Round 3 schedule (27 September 2026) is: registration and payment 28 September to 30 September, 5 PM; choice filling and locking 1 October (2 PM) to 9 October (5 PM); allotment 10–11 October; result 12 October; last date of joining 14 October, 5 PM. The same dates apply to the 7.5% government-school reservation. The official Round 3 vacancy list is not posted yet (virtual vacancies are processed on 30 September): expected Round 3 seats, college-wise. The All India Quota round is ahead: MCC published its Round 3 vacancy on 23 September, revised 24 and 25 September (6,191 seats, college-wise); AIQ choice filling closed on 28 September and the AIQ Round 3 result is due 30 September. MCC’s AIQ and State Schedule of 14 September 2026 sets the outer window every state keeps to:

Seats reaching Round 3 are the ones nobody is allotted on 15 September, the ones not joined by 19 September, and Round-1 seats given up through the resignation portal. The Committee normally publishes that vacancy college-wise a few days after the joining deadline.

College-wise seats in Tamil Nadu MBBS & BDS counselling

The table below is the Selection Committee's college-wise, community-wise list — 82 colleges, 9,820 seats — as it stood on 24 August 2026, after special category allotment and before Round 1. It is kept here because it is the only community-wise breakdown the Committee publishes; after Round 1 it reports government quota as a single undivided number.
