CENTAC Puducherry has released the NEET UG 2026 Special Stray Round provisional allotment list for MBBS and BDS admissions on November 13, 2026. The result was published after CENTAC considered objections and grievances submitted against the earlier draft allotment. Candidates can check their allotment status through the official CENTAC dashboard and download their allotment order. The last date to report and join the allotted college is November 16, 2026, by 5:00 PM.

The November 13 publication is the provisional allotment issued after the draft-list objection process. Students who appeared in the Special Stray Round should not rely only on screenshots, old draft lists or unofficial messages. They should open their own dashboard, confirm the displayed course and institution, and download the latest allotment order. An allotment remains subject to original-document verification and completion of admission formalities at the allotted college.
How to Check the MBBS and BDS Provisional Allotment Result
Open the official CENTAC website and navigate to UG NEET 2026 or the candidate dashboard. Sign in using your registered credentials and locate the Special Stray Round provisional allotment status. Verify the allotted college and course, then download and save the allotment order. Print a readable copy for reporting. If you find an account or allotment discrepancy, use the Grievances option available in your dashboard and follow the instructions published by CENTAC; the November 13 notice does not announce a separate new objection deadline.
College Reporting: November 16 Deadline and Required Documents
Allotted candidates must report directly to the Principal of their allotted institution with their allotment order and all required original certificates. The reporting and joining deadline is November 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM. Admission is not automatic merely because the dashboard shows a provisional allotment: the college must verify original records and complete its admission procedure. Candidates should review the college instructions and the CENTAC information brochure for the precise document checklist, as the one-page notice does not enumerate individual certificates.
| Action | What candidates need to know |
|---|---|
| Check allotted college | Use the authenticated CENTAC dashboard |
| Download allotment order | Keep a printed copy for college reporting |
| Report with originals | Submit all requisite original certificates for verification |
| Last joining deadline | November 16, 2026, 5:00 PM |
| Admission status | Subject to document verification and completion of formalities |
Full Tuition Fee, Refunds and Forfeiture Rules
CENTAC states that only candidates who had paid the full tuition fee were considered for the Special Stray Round allotment. Therefore, candidates receiving a seat can proceed directly to their allotted college after downloading the order. The academic-year 2026–27 UG NEET fee structure is available on the CENTAC website. The notice itself does not specify a single fee amount for all colleges, so students should check the officially published course-wise fee structure and their dashboard before making any assumptions.
| Candidate situation | CENTAC fee treatment |
|---|---|
| No seat allotted | Full tuition fee paid is refundable according to the brochure refund schedule |
| Seat allotted and candidate joins | Course tuition fee transferred to the college; any balance refunded |
| Puducherry EBC/SC/ST/GSS candidate | Registration fee refunded only if the allotted seat is joined |
| Seat allotted but candidate declines or does not join | Tuition fee for the allotted course forfeited |
| Candidate already joined a seat | Withdrawal or resignation from that admitted seat is not allowed |
These rules make the November 16 reporting date particularly important. A candidate who has received an allotment but decides not to join faces forfeiture of the tuition fee for the allotted course. Refund treatment differs for unsuccessful candidates, those who join, and specified Puducherry reserved-category candidates. Students should distinguish tuition-fee refunds from registration-fee conditions and check the official brochure for refund processing timelines.
What Should Candidates Do Next?
First, confirm the provisional result through the CENTAC dashboard rather than the earlier November 12 draft list. Second, download the allotment order and check the course, college and personal particulars. Third, collect all original documents and contact the allotted college about reporting arrangements. Finally, finish admission formalities by November 16 at 5:00 PM. CENTAC says SMS alerts were also sent, but candidates should use the portal as the authoritative source.
