The rules below come from the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee’s MBBS/BDS prospectus for the 2025-26 session. Check the official 2026 notice for any changes.
Upgrade: Re-allotment is permitted in Round 3 based on rank. A candidate upgraded in Round 3 must be relieved from the earlier Round 1 or Round 2 seat and join the Round 3 seat.
No exit after joining: Once you join your Round 3 seat, you cannot upgrade or resign from it.
Further rounds: Candidates who join a seat up to Round 3 are not eligible for later rounds this academic year.
What counts as joining: In Round 3, paying the tuition fee and downloading the allotment order is treated as joining. You must still report to the college within the stipulated time.
Not joining: If you do not join the Round 3 seat, you forfeit the registration fee, security deposit and tuition fee, and you cannot take part in subsequent rounds.
Not reporting: Candidates who download the order but do not report are treated as discontinued and may have to pay the discontinuation fee on top of the forfeiture.
No extension: The Selection Committee states that the reporting date cannot be extended.
