The Round 2 vacancy position gives candidates information about available MBBS and BDS seats across different colleges and applicable quotas. For MBBS, the list includes vacancies in government medical colleges, ESIC institutions, self-financing medical colleges and private institutions. Depending on the college, vacancies can fall under different government or management quota categories.

The BDS vacancy position similarly covers government dental colleges and self-financing dental colleges. Candidates should not look only at the total number of seats; they need to check the college, course, quota and category attached to each vacancy.

OGcollege Insight: This means a seat appearing in the overall vacancy information should not automatically be considered available to every candidate. Always check the category-specific vacancy position before adding a college to your preference list.

OGcollege Insight: The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee and current counselling updates confirm that the Round 2 allotment result is scheduled for September 15, followed by provisional allotment-order downloading and joining formalities.

How to Check the Tamil Nadu NEET Round 2 Vacancy List?

Candidates should use the official Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee portal to check the latest vacancy position. The official notification page currently lists separate links for:

92.5% Round 2 counselling for MBBS/BDS under government and management quota, including applicable NRI and minority seats. 7.5% Round 2 counselling for MBBS/BDS for eligible Tamil Nadu government-school students. The official portal also lists the Round 2 tentative vacancy positions dated September 10, 2026.

How Should You Use the Vacancy List for Choice Filling?

OGcollege Insight: The order matters because candidates should arrange choices according to their genuine preference rather than simply placing a college higher because it has more vacant seats.

OGcollege Insight: The Round 2 vacancy list should therefore be used together with your actual course preference.

Newly Added Colleges and Seats in Round 2

The Tamil Nadu Medical Selection Committee's September notification also includes a separate notice titled “Newly Added College and Seats in Round 2 (MBBS)” for the 2026–27 UG counselling session. This is important because Round 2 is not necessarily limited to seats carried forward from Round 1. Candidates should therefore check both the vacancy position and the latest notices on the official portal before finalising their preference strategy. Do not rely on an old screenshot or a Round 1 college list when preparing your Round 2 choices.

Tamil Nadu NEET Round 2 vs MCC Round 2

OGcollege Insight: If you are participating in both, track the two counselling schedules separately. Do not assume that a vacancy shown in MCC counselling is automatically available through Tamil Nadu counselling, or vice versa.

Talk to a Medical Senior Before Choosing a College

Vacancy data tells you that a seat is available, but it cannot tell you everything about student life at that college. Through OGcollege's Talk to Seniors, students can connect with verified medical seniors and ask practical questions about academics, hospital exposure, patient load, hostel facilities, campus environment and day-to-day MBBS life. This is especially useful when you are comparing several colleges with similar admission possibilities and need information that may not be available in a counselling PDF.

Final Verdict

The Tamil Nadu NEET UG Round 2 2026 vacancy list gives candidates a clearer picture of the seats available before the next allotment. The latest position shows 2,960 MBBS and 1,902 BDS vacancies, or 4,862 seats in total, with separate vacancy positions for the 92.5% and 7.5% counselling categories.

The biggest mistake would be to treat every vacancy as an easy admission opportunity. Candidates should check the applicable category and quota, compare colleges carefully and arrange their preferences according to what they genuinely want to join. With Round 2 allotment scheduled for September 15, the vacancy list is most useful when it is combined with a realistic and carefully ordered choice strategy.
