CENTAC Puducherry UG NEET 2026 —
Round 2 Fee & Round 1 Withdrawal Deadline Moved to TODAY, 3 PM

Yes. Per CENTAC Corrigendum Ref. No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/16, dated 11.09.2026, the deadline stated in the 10 September 2026 Press Notice as 12 September 2026, 3 p.m. for (a) payment of the Round 2 registration fee and (b) submitting a resignation/withdrawal letter for a Round 1 admitted seat has been corrected to 11 September 2026 (TODAY), 3 p.m. — moved a day earlier, not extended — and CENTAC states plainly that no further request for extension of time will be entertained. One important note: this page separately states, under Notice Ref.No.CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/14, dated 08.09.2026, that a Round 1-joined candidate may resign via an Annexure–17 Resignation Request Letter by 11 September 2026, 5:00 PM. The corrigendum’s 3 PM deadline covers the same two subjects — Round 2 fee payment and Round 1 seat withdrawal/resignation — as that 5 PM Annexure–17 route, but we cannot confirm from the published notices whether these are the same deadline restated with an inconsistent time, or two distinct deadlines for different candidate categories. We report both times rather than silently pick one: treat 3 PM today as the safer, binding time, and confirm directly with CENTAC (0413-2655570 / 2655571, or centacpuducherry.in) which deadline applies to your specific situation before relying on either.

Yes. CENTAC issued a REVISED Round 1 vacancy list on 9 September 2026, superseding the 08-09-2026 list. The college-wise Management Quota, Management Quota — Telugu Minority, and NRI Quota vacancy figures are unchanged. What is new is that the revised list, for the first time, also publishes the 85% Government Quota seat breakup category-wise (GEN/EWS/OBC/EBC/BCM/SC/ST/BT) and region-wise (Puducherry/Karaikal/Mahe/Yanam) for every Government Quota college — IGMC&RI, PIMS, SVMCH&RI/SVMCH&H, MGPGIDS, SVDC, MINDS and RGAMC. It is a dense, many-column table, so check your own college, category and region directly on centacpuducherry.in rather than relying on a summarised figure here. The revised list also reconfirms that 4 additional seats remain withheld pending Writ Appeal W.A. No. 2674 of 2026 before the Hon’ble High Court of Madras.

Yes. CENTAC published the Round 1 admitted list and vacancy position on centacpuducherry.in, and per Notice Ref.No.CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/14, dated 08.09.2026, Round 2 registration and course-preference filing under Government, Management (MQ) and NRI quota is open from 8 September to 10 September 2026, 5:00 PM. Every registered candidate can participate in Round 2 without any limitation regarding Round 1 allotment, including candidates already allotted a seat in Round 1. Registration fees run from Rs.5,000 (EBC/SC/ST/GSS, Government quota) to Rs.2,00,000 (Management or NRI quota); most Round 1-admitted candidates need not pay again, except EBC/SC/ST/GSS candidates, who must pay Rs.5,000 (Government) plus Rs.2,00,000 (Management/NRI) to take part in Round 2. If you have already joined your Round 1 seat and want to resign or withdraw it without forfeiting your fee, submit a Resignation Request Letter (Annexure–17, Page 81 of the UG NEET Information Brochure) through your Login Dashboard on or before 11 September 2026, 5:00 PM. One caveat: the fee for Sri Venkateshwaraa Medical College & Research Institute (and its Dental College) currently follows an Interim Order dated 08/09/2026 in W.P.No.15159 of 2026 — a court-supervised arrangement, subject to the case’s final outcome, not yet a settled fee.

Yes to both. Per Notice No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/08, dated 28 August 2026, CENTAC published the Seat Matrix and Fee Structure for UG NEET courses (MBBS, BDS, BAMS) at Government and Self-financing colleges on centacpuducherry.in the same day. The fee structure for Sri Venkateshwara Medical College will be published separately once its Competent Authority approval is received. Candidates can update their course preferences for Round 1 Allotment on or before 31 August 2026, 11:00 AM — do this even if you are largely satisfied with your existing preferences, because CENTAC states plainly that candidates whose course preferences are empty will not be considered for allotment. Queries go through the Grievances option on your Login Dashboard, or the helpline, 0413-2655570.

14 August 2026, 5:00 PM, with no further extension stated. The window originally closed 6 August, then reopened for fresh applications from 12 August 2026 (Ref. No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/04) on candidate request. This covers MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BVSc & AH under the National Self-Supporting and NRI categories. The exact rules differ depending on whether you are a fresh applicant, an incomplete registrant, or someone who already submitted before 8 August.

Yes, and this is what makes CENTAC unusually relevant to Northeast India families. The current notification covers the National Self-Supporting and NRI categories, which are open to candidates from other states. Government quota seats remain restricted to Puducherry residents, who must furnish a residence affidavit in the format CENTAC prescribes. Read the brochure's quota definitions before paying, because the application fee differs by quota.

MBBS, BDS, BAMS (Ayurveda) and BVSc & AH under the National Self-Supporting and NRI streams, open to candidates from any state. CENTAC separately runs a BSMS, BUMS and BHMS sponsored-seat scheme in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka government Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy colleges, but that one is restricted to Puducherry UT domicile candidates only. B.Sc Nursing runs through the UG Non-NEET process, which closed earlier in June.

CENTAC verifies residence claims, publishes a Draft Merit List, invites objections, then publishes the Final Merit List. Online choice filling and allotment follow across Round 1, Round 2 and a mop-up round, with a stray round if seats remain vacant. Watch the forfeiture rules: after the final allotment list in the second round, a candidate who fails to join forfeits the registration fee, and the amounts are quota-dependent.

If your NEET UG 2026 score is a qualifying one and you are open to a self-supporting or NRI seat, yes — a live window with a firm deadline is worth more than a closed one you regret. Applications received so far this cycle are still in the hundreds rather than the tens of thousands, which is a very different competitive picture from Karnataka or Tamil Nadu. Call us on 9085064444 and we will go through the brochure conditions with you today.

No. Under Ref. No. CENTAC/AYUSH/2026/02, dated 31 July 2026, the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee extended the online submission deadline for these sponsored seats to 7 August 2026, and CENTAC extended the hard-copy submission deadline to 10 August 2026, 5:00 PM. But this scheme sponsors Puducherry UT domicile candidates into BSMS, BUMS and BHMS seats in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka government colleges — it is not open to candidates from Assam or any other state outside Puducherry. Do not confuse it with the National Self-Supporting and NRI stream on this page, which is open to any state.

Yes. On 31 August 2026, CENTAC released an updated, revised draft merit list for UG NEET courses (MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BVSc & AH) under the Management Quota — Overall category, covering both National-level (other-state) candidates and NRI-quota candidates. It is a large list, ranking roughly 4,747 candidates by their NEET All India Rank, and it prints the cutoff marks CENTAC used to build it: 213 for General/EWS, 194 for General-PH, and 177 for OBC, MBC, SC, EBC, BCM, ST, BT and PH. A few entries carry footnote markers — for an Equivalence Certificate requirement, for the Internal-Puducherry UT Domicile Quota, for private-institution-only eligibility, or because they are tied to the outcome of Writ Appeal W.A. 2674 of 2026 — so read the footnotes against your own row if one applies to you. This is still called a draft, not a final allotment, so do not treat it as a settled seat. The safest approach is to open the list yourself on centacpuducherry.in and search for your own application number or name, rather than trusting a rank someone forwards you on WhatsApp.
