TN MBBS Rank List 2026-27 — Score-wise & Community-wise Analysis

Q: Does the Management Quota rank list have community-wise ranks?

No. The Management Quota rank list is a single general merit list with no community column, because management quota seats carry no community reservation. Only the Government Quota and 7.5% Government School lists publish a community rank.

How many candidates at each score band

The “total at/above” columns are what actually matter in counselling: that is how many people sit ahead of you in that list before the seats reach your band.

Community-wise totals — Govt Quota & 7.5%

Only the Government Quota and 7.5% Government School lists carry a community column. OC candidates are printed without a community rank — they are ranked on the general merit list only — so the OC figures below are counted from the community column itself, not from the rank column.

Community	Govt Quota	% of list	7.5% Govt School	% of list
OC	1,272	3.54%	18	0.50%

7.5% Government School — community × score band

The 7.5% list is small (3,625 candidates) and its topper scored 599, so a government-school student converts a given mark into a far better rank here than in the general list.

Management Quota — score-wise only

The Management Quota rank list is a single general merit list with no community column at all, because management quota seats carry no community reservation. 26,956 candidates, topper at 693 marks.

Seat matrix 2026-27 — how many MBBS seats, and who fills them

The tentative seat matrix published as Annexure III of the Selection Committee’s 2026-27 prospectus. Government college seats, split by quota:

List	Colleges	Sanctioned seats	All India Quota (15%)	ESIC ward quota	State Quota
Government medical colleges (MBBS)	36	5,050	753	50	4,247
ESIC, Chennai (MBBS)	1	149	22	30	97
Government dental colleges (BDS)	3	250	37	—	213

Only the State Quota column is filled through Tamil Nadu counselling; the All India Quota 15% goes through MCC, and the ESIC ward quota is a separate pool for insured persons’ wards.

Not published yet

Tamil Nadu has not yet published a seat matrix for self-financing (private) medical colleges or for the state private universities for 2026-27 — neither prospectus carries that annexure. Their seat counts are therefore deliberately left blank here rather than estimated.

Up to which rank actually got a seat (2025)

The deepest general state rank that actually received an MBBS seat in each pool, from the official 2025 allotment lists. This is what happened last year — it is not a prediction for 2026; cut-offs move with the seat matrix and with choice filling.

Government-quota seats inside self-financing and private-university colleges are filled from the SAME government-quota merit list, which is why they appear here. Government Erode’s ESIC “IRT Ward” allotments are excluded — that is a separate pool, not a general-quota closing. The number in brackets is that rank’s NEET mark.

How these numbers were counted

Source: the three official PDFs titled “Provisional Rank List for MBBS/BDS 2026-27 Session” published by the Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education & Research, Chennai on 10 August 2026.
Every row of all three lists was read — 66,507 entries in total. Rank sequences run unbroken from 1 to the list size with no gaps or duplicates, so nothing is missing or double-counted.
Only counts are published here. No candidate names, application numbers or roll numbers are reproduced.
These are provisional lists. If the Selection Committee issues an addendum after grievance redressal, the totals will shift slightly.
