How to Check CENTAC NEET MDS Round 2 Draft Allotment 2026
Candidates can check the Round 2 PG Dental allotment information through the official CENTAC portal.
- Visit the official CENTAC website at centacpuducherry.in.
- Open the PG-Dental / MDS section.
- Look for the notice titled “Round 2 Draft Allotment List for PG Dental (M.D.S.) Courses – 2026-2027.”
- Open the allotment notice/list.
- Candidates can also log in to their registered-candidate dashboard to check information applicable to their application.
The official PG Dental login currently asks registered candidates to sign in using their email ID and password. Candidates should verify important details such as the allotted course, institution and applicable quota/category wherever these details are shown in their allotment record.
CENTAC MDS Round 2 Objection Window Closed
Candidates who found a discrepancy in the Round 2 draft allotment were given an opportunity to submit an objection through CENTAC. The reported deadline for objections was 11:00 AM on September 24, 2026. CENTAC provides a Grievance Redressal System through the candidate dashboard for submitting and tracking grievances. Since the deadline has passed, candidates should now avoid relying on the draft allotment as the final admission confirmation and should check the portal for the subsequent Round 2 allotment notice.
What Happens After the CENTAC MDS Draft Allotment?
The next important stage is the publication of the subsequent Round 2 allotment update after the draft-allotment/grievance stage. CENTAC followed a similar draft-to-provisional sequence in Round 1: the Round 1 draft allotment was published on September 6, 2026, followed by the Round 1 provisional allotment on September 7, 2026. However, candidates should not assume that the same one-day interval will apply to Round 2. As of the latest available schedule information, an exact date for the next Round 2 allotment and reporting stage has not been confirmed. Candidates should therefore wait for an official CENTAC notice before taking admission-related action based solely on the draft allotment.
