CENTAC Releases Post-Round 2 Admission List and Detailed Vacancy Matrix

In a crucial update for medical aspirants seeking admission to professional courses in the Union Territory of Puducherry, the Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) has officially published two pivotal documents: the list of admitted candidates after the second round of counselling and a comprehensive list of remaining vacancies for the NEET UG (Undergraduate) 2025-26 academic session. These lists cover admissions to MBBS, BDS, and BAMS courses under various quotas and institutions.

The release of these documents marks the successful completion of the initial two rounds of the state-level counselling process and provides much-needed transparency and direction for candidates preparing for the final, mop-up round.

Details of Admitted Candidates and Cutoffs

The UG NEET Admitted List for the Second Round 2025 offers a clear snapshot of the candidates who secured seats in the state’s medical and dental colleges. The list provides granular details, including each admitted candidate's Application Number, Name, NEET All India Rank (AIR), and crucial NEET Score. Furthermore, it specifies their residency status (Puducherry, Other States, or NRI), their applied category, the category under which the seat was allotted, and their round status.

Medical aspirants should particularly note the minimum qualifying percentile cutoffs used for eligibility in this counselling cycle, as defined by the authorities:

• General (GE) Category: 144 Marks
• General - Physically Handicapped (GE-PH): 127 Marks
• Reserved Categories (OBC/MBC/SC/EBC/BCM/ST/BT): 113 Marks

Key Vacancies Remain Across Quotas

The most critical document for candidates planning their strategy for the upcoming rounds is the List of Vacancies in NEET UG after Round 2. This matrix highlights the remaining opportunities across Government Quota, Management Quota, and NRI Quota seats.

A breakdown of notable vacancies reveals significant opportunities:

• Management Quota: In the private colleges, specific minority quotas show large seat counts. For instance, the Telugu Minority Quota at Sri Venkateswara Medical College and Research Institute (SVMC&RI) has 114 MBBS seats available, and Sri Venkateswara Dental College (SVDC) has 50 BDS seats. Additionally, the Christian Minority Quota at Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) has 56 MBBS seats open.
• NRI Quota: Several MBBS seats are available under the NRI/NRISP/OCI categories, including 36 seats at SVMC&RI and 17 seats at Sri Manakula Vinayagar Medical College and Hospital (SMVMC&H).
• Government Quota: Vacancies in this quota are categorized by region (PDY, KKL, MAH, YNM) and reservation category for colleges like Indira Gandhi Medical College and Research Institute (IGMC&RI) for MBBS, and Rajiv Gandhi Ayurveda Medical College (RGAMC) for BAMS, which shows 10 vacant seats.

Candidates must meticulously review the detailed vacancy lists to strategically fill their choices for the mop-up round, which is expected to be announced shortly. This is likely the final chance for many medical aspirants to secure admission into MBBS, BDS, or BAMS courses for the 2025 academic year through the state quota.
