What did we verify on the official site?

Read on 6 October 2026:

• •The portal is headed "Selection Committee - DME" and has a Post Graduate - Medical section.
• •That section carried only refund-portal extension notices for PG MD / MS / Diploma and DNB courses of the 2025-26 session (latest dated 17-06-2026) on the verification date.

State quota vs All India Quota

In state government medical colleges, 50% of PG seats form the All India Quota (AIQ), counselled by MCC and open to candidates from every state. The state’s own share is allotted by Tamil Nadu’s authority, with the state’s own eligibility and reservation rules. You can register for both; MCC and the state exchange lists of joined candidates so a seat joined on one side is removed from the other side’s later rounds. Full comparison on the state counselling hub and the MCC counselling page.

What does the process usually look like?

We could not read Tamil Nadu’s 2026-27 PG medical prospectus on its official site, so this is the general sequence most state authorities follow — confirm each step in the state’s own notice:

1. Registration on the state portal with your NEET-PG details and documents.
2. Document verification and a state merit list.
3. Seat matrix, choice filling and locking.
4. Round-wise allotment and reporting to the college with originals.
5. Later rounds and a stray vacancy round.

Domicile, category certificate formats, fees, bond and stipend rules are set in the state prospectus and change each year; read it on the official site above before you pay anything.
