Tamil Nadu's Selection Committee has issued a focused notice for in-service candidates seeking Super Speciality DM and MCh seats in government medical colleges. Notification No.4092/SCSII(1)/2025, dated 21 September 2026 from Kilpauk, Chennai, says the Committee is displaying the seat matrix of Super Speciality seats received from DGHS, New Delhi, after the Supreme Court order dated 18 September 2026 reduced the qualifying percentile up to the 30th percentile for the stray round of NEET-SS 2025 counselling.

The notice is expressly limited to government medical college seats for in-service candidates for the 2025-2026 session. Applications for the revised reduced percentile will be called for shortly, the Committee states, so the 21 September PDF is a matrix and attention note rather than the final application form.

What the vacancy matrix shows

A companion PDF published the same day lists state-quota stray round vacancies across government campuses including Madras Medical College, Stanley Medical College, Madurai Medical College, Kilpauk Medical College, Thanjavur, Chengalpattu, Coimbatore, Tirunelveli, Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical College Salem, Kanyakumari, KAP Viswanatham Government Medical College Trichy and Thoothukudi.

Specialties begin with rows such as D.M. Hepatology and continue across the Super Speciality list printed for this stray window. Seat counts are small specialty by specialty, so a single college column may show only one seat in a given DM or MCh row.

What candidates should do while waiting for the application call

Keep NEET-SS documents, service particulars and eligibility papers ready. Watch tnmedicalselection.net for the separate call for applications under the reduced percentile. Do not treat the matrix PDF as an allotment order. Do not assume open-category non-service candidates are covered.

Doctors who need relieving orders from their parent department should start that paperwork now rather than after the application link appears. Community and service certificates must match the formats Selection Committee desks already use for in-service Super Speciality counselling.

Hospital medical education units can pin both PDFs on the notice board and circulate the specialty-wise vacancy table to eligible in-service doctors. Unofficial seat promises outside the Selection Committee portal should be ignored.

Until the revised-percentile application notice is uploaded, the actionable record is the 21 September attention note plus the same-day vacancy matrix on tnmedicalselection.net. In-service Super Speciality aspirants should download both files and refresh the news section daily for the application call.

Readers should cross-check dates, fees and seat numbers in the primary PDF or portal notice before acting, because counselling authorities sometimes issue same-day corrigenda that change a single clock without rewriting the whole schedule (1).
