The facility applies to joined candidates allotted seats in Government Dental Colleges and Government Quota or Management Quota seats, including NRI quota seats, in self-financing Dental Colleges.

Candidates who wish to resign from their allotted seats can do so within the specified period without forfeiture of their security deposit and tuition fee.

Important Dates for MDS Seat Resignation

Important Rules After Resignation

Candidates must follow the instructions issued by the Selection Committee:

• Candidates must not withdraw their resignation after the stipulated deadline of 1 November 2026 at 5 PM.

• Colleges have been instructed not to permit candidates to withdraw their resignation after the deadline.

• Candidates who give consent for re-allotment and participate in Round 3 counselling will be governed by the applicable Round 3 rules, as they have exercised choices and participated in the round.

• Round 1 and Round 2 joined candidates who neither participate in Round 3 nor resign within the specified period will be considered to have retained their seats. They will consequently remain part of Round 3 after the deadline.
