Tamil Nadu extends Nursing, Pharmacy and Allied Health Round 2 registration to 19 September

The Tamil Nadu Selection Committee has extended the last date for registration and choice locking in Round 2 for B.Sc. Nursing, B. Pharm and Allied and Healthcare undergraduate degree courses. Notification No. 8/SCSIII (1)/2026 is dated 15 September 2026 and is issued by the Directorate of Medical Education and Research, Kilpauk, Chennai. The notice sets 19 September 2026 as the extended deadline.

The one-page notification addresses students and changes two linked actions in the Round 2 process. Registration and choice locking can now be completed up to 19 September. The same notice also gives the next date in the process, saying that results will be published on 21 September 2026. No separate course-wise date is printed in the notice.

Courses covered by the extension

The extension covers B.Sc. Nursing, B. Pharm, and Allied and Healthcare UG Degree Courses. Applicants in these three groups should read the course name in the notification before applying the date to their own counselling activity. The notice does not list a different deadline for Nursing, Pharmacy and Allied and Healthcare candidates, so the date printed for registration and choice locking is 19 September for the covered Round 2 process.

The wording places registration and choice locking together. A candidate should not assume that completing one action automatically completes the other. The notification names both actions, and the deadline applies to the pair. Applicants who are still completing the Round 2 process should check that the registration record and the locked choices are both reflected in the official counselling system before the extended date closes.

Result date follows on 21 September

The Selection Committee says the results will be published on 21 September 2026. That date follows two days after the extended deadline. The notice does not call the result date a final allotment date or give a time of publication. Candidates should therefore use the official update issued by the committee for the result display and avoid treating the 21 September date as an invitation to submit choices after the deadline.

The extension is recorded in Notification No. 8/SCSIII (1)/2026, not in a general admission calendar. Applicants should save the notification with their other counselling papers because it is the document that changes the last date. When referring to the process, the precise description is Round 2 registration and choice locking for the three course groups, extended up to 19 September, with results stated for 21 September.

The notice is brief, so it does not set out additional rules on seat acceptance, reporting, fees or document verification. Candidates should not add a new condition to the notice from assumptions about another course. Its published instruction is limited but clear: the last date for the named Round 2 activities is 19 September and the result date is 21 September.

Applicants should also be careful with the phrase “up to” in the notification. It marks the end of the extension rather than a promise that late entries will be considered. The Selection Committee has used 19 September as the last date in the notice. Candidates should complete the required steps before that date instead of waiting for a further announcement.

The three course groups are part of the same student-facing notice, but an applicant’s own course and choices still need to be checked in the official record. A completed choice list that is not locked may not represent the same status as a locked list. The notification is a reminder to complete both named actions within the revised window.

The next date is also fixed in the notice, but publication will still be an official action by the Selection Committee. Students should look for the result through the committee’s authorised update on 21 September rather than relying on an informal summary. The notification gives the date, while the result display will carry the candidate-specific outcome.

For this Round 2 cycle, the important change is the move of the deadline to 19 September. Registration and choice locking remain the two actions named by the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee, and 21 September remains the stated result date. Applicants should keep both dates together when planning their final check.
