Tamil Nadu extends Nursing, Pharmacy and Allied Health Round 2 registration to 16 September

The Selection Committee under the Directorate of Medical Education and Research, Kilpauk, Chennai-10, has extended the Round 2 registration and choice-locking deadline for B.Sc. Nursing, B.Pharm and Allied and Healthcare undergraduate degree courses. The order is Notification No.7/SCSIII (1)/2026, dated 12.09.2026. The one-page PDF is titled Notification No 7 (1).docx in its Word metadata. CreationDate on the local file is Sat Sep 12 10:56:34 2026 UTC, which is 16:26 IST the same evening. The portal path is 12092026040010.pdf on tnmedicalselection.net.

This file is an extension notice, not the original Round 2 schedule already live on this desk as tn-nursing-pharm-ahs-r2-schedule-10sep-2026. That earlier schedule fixed registration and payment from 11.09.2026 1:00 pm to 12.09.2026 5:00 pm, choice filling and locking from 13.09.2026 10:00 am to 15.09.2026 5:00 pm, and Round-2 result on 17.09.2026. Notification No.7 moves registration and choice locking to 16.09.2026 and moves the result to 18.09.2026. Mixing the two PDFs will leave candidates chasing a 15 September lock that this 12 September extension has already overwritten.

What Notification No.7 actually extends

Under the heading Attention Students, the Selection Committee states that the last date for registration and choice locking for B.Sc. Nursing, B. Pharm, and Allied and Healthcare UG Degree Courses has been extended up to 16.09.2026. The results will be published on 18.09.2026. The notice is signed for the Selection Committee. No other calendar rows, rank bands, fee amounts or reporting deadlines are rewritten inside this one-page file.

Practical reading for candidates is therefore short. Anyone still outside the Round 2 registration or choice-lock step for these courses now has until 16.09.2026. Anyone waiting for the Round 2 result should diary 18.09.2026 instead of the earlier 17.09.2026 stamp on the live schedule story. The notification does not reopen a closed MBBS or BDS window, does not publish a vacancy matrix, and does not add PwD-eligible names. Those sit on separate Tamil Nadu Selection Committee uploads.

How this extension sits beside the live Round 2 schedule

Candidates who already followed the live schedule story should treat Notification No.7 as the controlling extension for registration and choice locking. The 10 September schedule PDF remains useful for fee, rank-band and reporting language that Notification No.7 does not repeat, but the 16 September lock and 18 September result stamps on Notification No.7 override the 15 September lock and 17 September result stamps for the steps this notice names.

Keep the extension separate from the tentative vacancy position file dated 13.09.2026 for B.Sc. Nursing, B.Pharm, BASLP, BPO and Allied and Healthcare courses, and from any PwD addendum on the same portal. Vacancy counts answer which seats remain. Notification No.7 answers only how long registration and choice locking stay open and when the Round 2 result will be published. The Selection Committee hosts notices at https://tnmedicalselection.net/. Use that portal for login, payment and choice locking rather than third-party forms.

Notification No.7/SCSIII (1)/2026 dated 12.09.2026, posted as 12092026040010.pdf from the Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education and Research, Kilpauk, Chennai-10, is the one-page extension that moves B.Sc. Nursing, B.Pharm and Allied and Healthcare UG Round 2 registration and choice locking to 16.09.2026 and the result to 18.09.2026. That extension angle, not the earlier 10 September Round 2 schedule slug, is the story.
