TN MBBS Round 3 Vacancy 2026 — College-wise Seats Left After Round 2

By Sampath Kumar · Updated

After the Round 2 provisional allotment of 15 September 2026, 597 MBBS/BDS seats in the 92.5% pool were still not allotted — 536 of them NRI quota. This page lists them college by college as the expected Round 3 vacancy, and will carry the Selection Committee’s official Round 3 list the day it is published.

Status — checked 22 September 2026: the Committee has not yet published the official Round 3 vacancy. Round 2 joining closed on 19 September 2026, 5:00 PM (extended by a day under Notification No.27 ↗); colleges have since reported joined data, and the Round 3 list adds the seats of candidates who did not join and of those who resigned. As of this check the newest MBBS/BDS item on tnmedicalselection.net is still that extension notice, and MCC has not posted its All India Quota Round 3 vacancy either (AIQ Round 3 registration is scheduled 22–27 September). The table below is the floor computed from the two Round 2 allotment lists; refresh this page or join the WhatsApp community for the official file.

Filled in Round 2 — where Round 3 seats come only from non-joiners

Cells that received allotments and have nothing left on paper. Government MBBS and BDS are entirely in this group: any Round 3 government seat will be one that a Round 2 allottee failed to join by 19 September (the extended deadline) or resigned.

CourseCollege-quota cells filled to zero
MBBS (Govt)35
MBBS (ESIC)1
MBBS (SF)46
MBBS (Private)6
BDS (Govt)3
BDS (SF)36

47 allotments across a few colleges exceeded the 10 September vacancy (seats added later or virtual vacancies); those cells are shown as 0 left rather than negative.

Not in the 10 September vacancy statement, so no expected figure can be computed for them: Government Erode Medical College & Hospital, Perundurai, Government Medical College, Karur, Government Sivagangai Medical College, Sivaganga, Government Thiruvannamalai Medical College, Thiruvannamalai, Govt. Tiruppur Medical College Hospital, Tiruppur, Thiruvarur Govt. Medical College, Thiruvarur (see the Committee’s newly added colleges and seats notice of 9 September).

When Round 3 runs

The Committee’s own Round 3 schedule follows the vacancy list. The frame below is the state-counselling window MCC notified on 14 September 2026, within which Tamil Nadu must complete Round 3 and the stray-vacancy round.

RoundWindowLast date of joiningState verifies joined data
Round 328 Sept – 9 Oct 202614 Oct 202615 Oct 2026
Round 4 (stray vacancy)17 – 21 Oct 202626 Oct 2026
  1. Vacancy list — published after the 19 September joining deadline once colleges report joining; non-joiner and resigned seats are added to the floor above.
  2. Registration / choice filling — a fresh choice-filling window; choices from Round 2 do not carry over.
  3. Allotment and joining — result, allotment-order download and a joining deadline inside the MCC window.
  4. Stray vacancy round — whatever is still unfilled after Round 3 joining.

Eligibility for Round 3 (who may register, whether Round 2 joiners can upgrade, and the resignation cut-off) is set by the Committee’s Round 3 notification; we will quote it here when it is out. Until then: check your own Round 2 status with the application-number checker and read the college-wise Round 2 result for closing marks.

Round 3 vacancy FAQ

Is this the official TN MBBS Round 3 vacancy list?

Not yet (checked 22 September 2026). The Selection Committee publishes the official Round 3 vacancy after Round 2 joining, which closed on 19 September 2026 after a one-day extension. This page shows the seats that were not allotted in Round 2 according to the Committee's own allotment lists — a floor for the official figure — and will be updated with the official PDF.

Why is almost all of the expected vacancy NRI quota?

NRI seats need NRI-sponsored candidates and carry the highest fee, so 536 of the 597 seats left are NRI. Government, management and minority quota seats were filled almost completely in Round 2; new seats there will come from candidates who do not join.

Will government college MBBS seats be available in Round 3?

On paper, government-college MBBS and BDS have no seats left after Round 2. Every year some allottees do not join or resign, and those seats appear in the official Round 3 vacancy — typically a few dozen — so keep those choices in your list, but do not plan around them.

How is 'seats left' calculated?

Vacancy as on 10 September (the Committee's tentative Round 2 vacancy) plus seats vacated by candidates who upgraded out of a college, minus fresh and upgraded-in allotments of 15 September. Where allotments exceeded the listed vacancy the cell is shown as zero.

Can a candidate allotted in Round 2 take part in Round 3?

That depends on the Committee's Round 3 notification and the resignation rules (Notification No. 25 opened a resignation portal for Round 1 joiners). Do not assume an upgrade option exists in Round 3; check the notification when it is published.

When does Round 3 choice filling open?

After the official vacancy list. MCC's state-counselling frame gives Tamil Nadu 28 September to 9 October 2026 for Round 3 and 17 to 21 October for the stray-vacancy round; the Committee's exact dates will be added here.
