As per the notice dated August 24, 2026, the revised draft merit list has been published on the official CENTAC website for candidates applying under Government, Management, Management (Telugu Minority) and NRI Quotas.

The merit list has been prepared based on the cut-off marks prescribed in NEET-MDS 2026. CENTAC has also published the special category lists for U.T. of Puducherry candidates belonging to Freedom Fighter and Ex-Servicemen categories.

Objections and Certificate Submission Deadline

Candidates can check the verification status of their submitted applications through their respective candidate dashboards.

If candidates have any objections or need to upload certificates, they can use the GRIEVANCES option available after logging into their dashboard.

The deadline for submitting objections and required certificates is:

August 26, 2026, up to 5:00 PM

After considering and disposing of the objections, CENTAC will publish the Final Merit List.

PG Dental Seat Matrix and Course Preferences

CENTAC has also published the Seat Matrix for PG Dental (M.D.S.) courses on its website.Candidates have been given an opportunity to update their course preferences, if required, for the Round 1 seat allotment.

Importantly, candidates whose course preferences are left empty will not be considered for seat allotment.Therefore, eligible candidates should carefully review their course preferences and update them within the prescribed process.

Final Merit List After Objections

The current list is a Revised Draft Merit List, not the final merit list.CENTAC will consider valid objections submitted through the prescribed dashboard process and subsequently publish the Final Merit List.Candidates should therefore check their application verification status and submit any required certificates or objections before August 26, 2026, at 5:00 PM.
