TN NEET UG Counselling 2026 Round 2: The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee has released the Round 2 vacancy position for MBBS and BDS courses for the 2026-27 academic session. Candidates participating in Tamil Nadu NEET UG counselling can check the available seats and complete their choice filling and locking through the official counselling portal.
The Round 2 vacancy list has been released separately for the 92.5% category and 7.5% reservation for Tamil Nadu government school students. The vacancy details cover government, self-financing and private institutions, including applicable government and management quota seats.
The TN NEET UG Round 2 choice filling and locking window is open until September 13, 2026, at 2 PM. The seat allotment process will be conducted on September 14, while the TN NEET UG Round 2 allotment result 2026 is scheduled for September 15.
The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee has published the tentative Round 2 vacancy position for MBBS and BDS courses on its official website, tnmedicalselection.net.
Candidates who are eligible for Round 2 can use the vacancy list while preparing their college and course preferences. The available seats include vacancies across different institution and quota categories.
The official notification currently lists separate Round 2 counselling links for 92.5% seats under government and management quotas, including NRI and minority seats, and for the 7.5% reservation applicable to Tamil Nadu government school students.
The latest vacancy data released for Round 2 shows 4,862 vacant MBBS and BDS seats across Tamil Nadu counselling.
This includes 2,960 MBBS seats and 1,902 BDS seats across government, self-financing, ESIC and private institutions covered by the state counselling process.
For MBBS, the Round 2 vacancy position includes seats under the 92.5% and 7.5% categories.
Under the 92.5% category, the vacancy data includes seats in government medical colleges, ESIC, self-financing colleges and private colleges. The self-financing colleges account for a substantial share of the available MBBS seats, with vacancies under both government and management quota.
Under the 7.5% category, vacancies are also available in self-financing and private colleges, along with specified seats in government colleges.
A total of 1,902 BDS seats are reported vacant for the second round.
These include vacancies in government dental colleges and self-financing dental colleges across the relevant quota categories. Candidates should refer to the official vacancy PDF before finalising their preferences because the college-wise availability can differ by quota and category.

Candidates who are eligible for Round 2 should first check the latest vacancy position and then arrange their preferred colleges and courses in the order they actually want.
The choice-filling process is important because the choices submitted and locked by the candidate are considered during seat allotment. Candidates should therefore check the college, course, quota and category-wise vacancy before finalising their preference list.

Open the Round 2 online counselling link for MBBS/BDS.
Log in using the required credentials.
Select the preferred medical and dental colleges and courses.
Arrange the choices according to preference.
Review the selected choices carefully.
Lock and submit the choices before September 13, 2026, at 2 PM.

The TN NEET UG Round 2 seat allotment result 2026 is scheduled to be released on September 15, 2026.
Before the result, the authorities will process the submitted choices and conduct the seat allotment process on September 14. Candidates who receive an allotment will be able to download their provisional allotment orders from September 15 to September 18.
Candidates should not wait until the final day to check their allotment status or complete admission formalities because the joining deadline is September 18, 2026.
One important point for candidates searching for TN NEET counselling 2026 is that the state counselling portal is showing separate processes for the two relevant categories.
The 92.5% counselling covers government and management quota seats, including applicable NRI and minority seats. The 7.5% reservation is specifically for eligible Tamil Nadu government school students.
Candidates should therefore select the counselling link applicable to their eligibility rather than assuming that all vacancies shown in the overall Round 2 matrix are available to every candidate.
The terms MCC counselling, MCC NEET counselling, MCC Round 2 and MCC NEET UG are currently trending, but candidates should not confuse MCC counselling with Tamil Nadu's state counselling.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts the centralised UG counselling process for seats such as All India Quota and other institutions/seats under its notified counselling framework. MCC's official portal is separately conducting UG Round 2 counselling 2026 and has released its own vacancy, seat and schedule updates.
Tamil Nadu's TN NEET UG counselling, on the other hand, is being conducted by the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee through tnmedicalselection.net for the state counselling seats covered under its process.
Therefore, a candidate searching for MCC counselling 2026 should check the MCC portal, while a candidate participating in Tamil Nadu NEET UG Round 2 should follow the Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee's notifications.
| Feature | MCC NEET UG Round 2 | TN NEET UG Round 2 |
| Conducting authority | Medical Counselling Committee | Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee |
| Main portal | mcc.nic.in | tnmedicalselection.net |
| Scope | Centralised counselling for notified MCC seats | Tamil Nadu state counselling |
| Current Round 2 status | Ongoing | Choice filling ongoing |
| Seat information | MCC Round 2 vacancy/seat matrix | TN Round 2 vacancy position |
| Result | As per MCC schedule | September 15, 2026 |
This distinction is particularly important because Google Trends is currently showing searches such as “mcc counselling”, “mcc 2026”, “mcc counselling 2026”, “mcc neet”, “mcc round 2”, “mcc ug” and “mcc neet ug” alongside broader NEET counselling searches.
Candidates can check the latest TN NEET UG Round 2 vacancy list 2026 through the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee website.
The authority has published separate vacancy notifications for the 7.5% and 92.5% categories. Candidates should rely on the latest vacancy document rather than older Round 1 seat matrices because vacancies can change after each counselling round.
