The Tamil Nadu Selection Committee has published the provisional Round 2 allotment list for MBBS and BDS Government Quota seats for the 2026-27 session. The PDF is headed “Provisional List of Candidates allotted on 15.09.2026” and records the Government Quota course session as 2026-2027. It is issued through the Directorate of Medical Education and Research and is arranged as a rank-wise list of candidates and their allotted seats.

The document runs to 768 pages and begins with a tabular record containing the serial number, rank, application number, candidate name, community, total mark, allotted-from details, allotted-to details, category and status. This layout allows a candidate to read the row attached to the application number instead of depending on a college-only search. The list includes both MBBS and BDS entries under the Government Quota heading.

What the first pages show

The first row is serial number 1, rank 29, with application number 26UG829146. It records a total mark of 673 and shows GQ_MBBS for Government Colleges, with Madras Medical College, Chennai listed in the allotted-to field. The status printed for that row is Retained. The next rows similarly show rank, community, marks and the college or quota details printed by the Selection Committee.

The opening pages include allotments connected with Madras Medical College, Chennai and Christian Medical College, Vellore, among other entries. One early row shows GQ_MBBS for Self-Financing Colleges and Christian Medical College, Vellore in the allotted-to field. These are examples of how the PDF combines the quota description with the institution name, rather than a separate summary of colleges.

The list also contains category labels such as PWD and Sports in later rows. A candidate should read the category field alongside the community, total mark and status. The official format is row based, so a name search should be checked against the application number and rank before any decision is taken.

Why candidates should read the provisional label

The word provisional appears in the title printed on the pages. The Selection Committee has not presented this PDF as a final allotment in the heading. Candidates should therefore preserve the exact row and status shown in the document and avoid describing the list as final. The 15 September date identifies when the allotments in this PDF were made.

The later pages show that the list is extensive. It reaches serial number 8127 and includes ranks and marks across Government Quota MBBS and BDS records, along with categories such as PWD and Sports where printed. The document is not a short notice with only a few selected names. It is a long allotment book that candidates should search using their own application number or rank.

The allotted-from and allotted-to columns are useful when a candidate has moved or retained a seat during the round. The PDF prints both fields in the same row, followed by category and status. In some entries, the two college fields are the same and the status reads Retained. In others, the fields show the movement that the committee has recorded. Candidates should copy the complete row for their own records.

The official file also distinguishes Government Colleges from Self-Financing Colleges in the quota text. A candidate should not read only the institution name and ignore the quota label before it. GQ_MBBS and GQ_BDS entries, community categories and status words are part of the allotment information presented by the Selection Committee.

For a careful check, open the 15 September PDF, search the application number, and compare the name, rank, total mark, allotted-from entry, allotted-to entry, category and status. This method follows the table structure used by Tamil Nadu rather than relying on an abbreviated account. It also keeps the provisional status visible while candidates review the Round 2 Government Quota record.

The 768-page document is best treated as the official row-level record for the 15 September Round 2 Government Quota allotment. It gives candidates the details needed to identify the seat, but the heading remains provisional. Keeping that distinction in every note or message will prevent a provisional allotment from being mistaken for a final result.
