The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Tamil Nadu, has announced the NEET UG 2025 Round 1 seat allotment results. This article provides critical information for medical aspirants, including the last date to report to colleges and a step-by-step guide on what to do next to secure your MBBS or BDS seat.

In a significant development for medical aspirants in Tamil Nadu, the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) has officially released the seat allotment results for the first round of NEET UG 2025 counselling. The eagerly awaited list for MBBS and BDS courses was published on August 18, 2025, marking a crucial milestone in the admission process for thousands of students.
The DME has also set a firm deadline for candidates to complete the admission formalities. All students who have been allotted a seat in this round must report to their respective colleges by August 24, 2025, to finalize their admission. Failure to meet this deadline will result in the automatic cancellation of the allotted seat, which will then become available for other deserving candidates in subsequent rounds.
A Step-by-Step Guide for Allotted Candidates
For students who have successfully secured a seat in Round 1, the next few days are critical. Here is a simplified guide on the steps you must follow:
- Check Allotment Status: The first and most important step is to check your seat allotment status on the official TN Health website. This will confirm which college and course you have been assigned based on your NEET merit rank and the choices you filled during the counselling process.
- Download Allotment Letter: Once you have confirmed your seat, you must download the provisional seat allotment letter. This document is a mandatory requirement for the physical reporting and admission process at the allotted institution.
- Prepare Your Documents: Before you proceed to the college, ensure you have all the necessary documents ready. It is advised to keep both original and multiple photocopies of each document. The essential documents typically include:
- NEET UG 2025 Admit Card and Scorecard
- Provisional Allotment Letter
- Class 10th and 12th Mark Sheets and Certificates
- Transfer Certificate
- Nativity Certificate (if applicable)
- Caste Certificate (if applicable)
- Passport-size photographs
- Government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, Passport, etc.)
- Any other documents as specified in the official information bulletin.
- Report to Allotted College: The final step is to physically report to the allotted college by the deadline of August 24, 2025. You will need to submit your documents for verification and pay the required admission fees to secure your seat. It is advisable to visit the college website or contact the admission office in advance to confirm the exact process and any additional requirements.
What This Means for Other Aspirants
For students who were not allotted a seat in Round 1, the journey is not over. This is a common part of the counselling process, and you should now focus on preparing for Round 2. The seats that remain vacant from Round 1, along with any seats that are forfeited, will be added to the pool for the next phase of counselling.
The schedule for Round 2 is expected to be released by the DME soon. This round provides a fresh opportunity for all eligible candidates, including those who may not have participated in the first round. It is important to stay updated with official announcements and prepare your list of preferred colleges for the next phase.
