NEET MDS Counselling 2026: CENTAC Puducherry Releases Draft Merit List for Management Quota
The Government of Puducherry’s Directorate of Higher and Technical Education and Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) has published the Draft Merit List for PG NEET Dental (M.D.S.) courses for the 2026–27 academic year under the Management Quota. Dated August 18, 2026, the two-page list contains 91 candidates and provides their application number, name, NEET roll number, NEET score, NEET MDS All India Rank and AIQ category. The list starts with a candidate scoring 575 marks with an NEET MDS rank of 2,427 and extends to candidates with scores of 272 and ranks around 18,143.
The PDF also specifies the NEET PG/MDS cutoff marks as 308 for General, 289 for General-PH and 271 for OBC/MBC/SC/EBC/BCM/ST/BT categories. CENTAC notes that category-based admission claims remain subject to verification of original certificates, including residence documents, at the time of admission. Since the document is explicitly identified as a “Draft Merit List,” it should be presented as a NEET MDS 2026 counselling/merit-list update and not as a final merit list or seat allotment result.
