Draft list issued; objections to be raised via candidate dashboards
The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Puducherry on Thursday released the NEET‑MDS 2026 Round 2 draft (provisional) allotment on its official portal, centacpuducherry.in. The draft allotment is a pre‑final list published to allow candidates to verify allotted seats and raise objections, if any, before CENTAC publishes the final Round 2 allotment.
Candidates who participated in the NEET‑MDS counselling for Puducherry are required to log in to their CENTAC dashboard and inspect the draft allotment. The committee emphasised that the list is provisional and that only the final allotment will be acted upon for admission and reporting purposes.
- Where to check: Dashboard login on centacpuducherry.in
- How to object: Submit objection through the dashboard within the short window stated in the notice
- Next step: CENTAC will review valid objections and then publish the final Round 2 allotment
At the draft stage, candidates should carefully verify the allotted college, MDS speciality, quota and category. Errors that may be raised as objections include incorrect category, quota assignment, preference order or eligibility details. CENTAC will consider objections submitted through the dashboard within the stipulated time before finalising the allotment.
Documents candidates should keep ready
While the draft allotment itself is primarily for verification, successful candidates will need to complete admission formalities as per the final allotment. CENTAC’s notice lists the standard documents typically required for NEET‑MDS admissions. Candidates should ensure these are available and valid:
- BDS degree certificate and all year mark sheets
- Internship completion certificate or expected‑completion certificate if allowed
- Permanent or provisional registration certificate from the Dental Council
- Class X certificate (for date of birth) and photo ID (Aadhaar)
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC‑NCL/EWS) and PwD certificate, if applicable
- State domicile / eligibility certificate as applicable
| Item | What it means |
|---|---|
| Draft allotment | Proposed Round 2 seat list for each candidate; open for objections |
| Objections | Submit via CENTAC dashboard within the short window in the notice |
| Final allotment | Published after objections are reviewed; only this is used for admission |
Candidates should note that the draft‑stage objection windows are usually brief. CENTAC has therefore advised applicants to act promptly: log in, verify all particulars and raise objections where necessary through the dashboard control panel. CENTAC will examine objections it deems valid before issuing the final Round 2 allotment.
Practical steps for candidates
To avoid delays or complications during reporting, eligible candidates are advised to follow these steps:
- Immediately log in to the CENTAC dashboard at centacpuducherry.in and open the Round 2 draft allotment.
- Compare the allotted college, MDS speciality, quota and category against your submitted preferences and documentary records.
- If any discrepancy is found, raise a formal objection using the dashboard mechanism within the timeframe specified in the CENTAC notice.
- Keep scanned copies and originals of the documents listed above ready for verification during admission, once the final allotment is published.
Only the final Round 2 allotment will be processed for reporting and admission, CENTAC reiterated. Candidates who do not submit objections in the draft window will have to accept the final allotment as published, subject to the committee's review and acceptance of any late submissions as per its rules.
For authoritative details and to access the dashboard, candidates should use the official CENTAC portal: centacpuducherry.in.
