The Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education and Research, has modified the round 1 schedule for Tamil Nadu MBBS and BDS admission, following the revised UG state schedule released by the MCC on 19 August 2026.
The revised dates
| Event | When |
|---|---|
| Registration, choice filling and choice locking | till 5 pm, 24 August 2026 |
| Processing of seat allotment | 25 and 26 August 2026 |
| Publication of results | 27 August 2026 |
| Download of allotment order | 27 August to 5 September 2026, 12.00 noon |
| Last reporting date for round 1 | 5 September 2026, 5.00 pm |
Note that locking is included in the 24 August deadline, not just filling. An unlocked list is the standard way candidates lose a round, and Tamil Nadu gives no separate locking window afterwards.
The change follows the Medical Counselling Committee revising the All India Quota and state counselling schedule on 19 August 2026. Most states are re-issuing their round 1 dates as a result, so check your own state even if you are not applying here.
Our Tamil Nadu cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college and category. Tamil Nadu publishes allotments cumulatively across rounds, so read a round 2 cutoff as including round 1 candidates.
