According to the latest notification, Round 2 registration and fee payment will close on August 5, 2026, while choice filling and choice locking will be available until August 6, 2026. The Round 2 seat allotment result will be declared on August 7, 2026, followed by reporting to the allotted colleges from August 8 to August 12, 2026.

The revised counselling schedule comes after important developments involving Tamil Nadu Super Specialty seats, resulting in an updated seat matrix that offers additional opportunities to eligible candidates.

Tamil Nadu Returns Vacant Super Specialty Seats to MCC

A significant change in the Round 2 counselling process is the inclusion of additional Super Specialty seats from Tamil Nadu.

The Tamil Nadu State Selection Committee has reverted its vacant Super Specialty seats to the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). This move follows a recent directive issued by the Supreme Court of India, leading to a revision of the Round 2 seat matrix.

As a result, candidates participating in Round 2 can now exercise options for the newly added in-service Super Specialty seats available in Tamil Nadu, thereby increasing the number of choices during counselling.

The revised seat matrix is expected to provide more admission opportunities for eligible aspirants across various Super Specialty disciplines.
