MPT Tentative Vacancy Position Published on October 16
The official vacancy PDF is titled “Tentative Vacancy for M.P.T. Course 2026–2027” and reflects vacancies as on October 16, 2026. It contains separate sections for government and self-financing colleges.
Adding the speciality totals listed in the document gives 127 tentative vacancies:
- 4 vacancies in the government-college section
- 123 vacancies in self-financing colleges
Because the document itself is labelled tentative, candidates should use the live counselling portal and current official vacancy position while entering choices.
Which MPT Specialities Have Vacancies?
The official vacancy document includes seats across specialities such as:
- Advanced Physiotherapy in Orthopaedics
- Advanced Physiotherapy in Neurology
- Advanced Physiotherapy in Cardio-pulmonary Diseases
- Obstetrics and Gynaecology
- Physiotherapy in Paediatric Neurology
- Sports Physiotherapy.
Vacancies vary by college and speciality.
Government MPT Vacancies
The government-college section lists vacancies at Government Medical College & Hospital, Cuddalore, including seats in Orthopaedics, Neurology and Paediatric Neurology. Government-seat availability should be read together with the community/category breakup shown in the official PDF.
Self-Financing MPT Vacancies
The self-financing section covers multiple physiotherapy institutions and several MPT specialities. The vacancy document lists speciality-wise seat availability rather than one universal seat pool.
Candidates should therefore compare:
- speciality;
- institution;
- current vacancy;
- category where applicable;
- personal order of preference
before locking choices.
Who Can Participate in MPT Round 2?
The schedule covers candidates from General Rank 001 to 717, with the corresponding marks shown as 79.30 to 18.40. It also states that candidates who did not participate or did not join in Round 1 may participate in Round 2. Candidates should still confirm their own eligibility against the prospectus and portal status.
Do Round 1 Candidates Have to Participate Again?
Candidates who want to retain their existing seat need not participate in Round 2. Those seeking an upgrade should understand the consequence carefully. If a candidate opts for upgradation from a Round 1 allotted seat and gets upgraded in Round 2, the earlier seat must be vacated and cannot later be reclaimed.
What Is the MPT Round 2 Processing Fee?
Fresh participants must pay a non-refundable processing fee of ₹500 online.
- The schedule permits payment through debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI.
- Candidates who already registered in Round 1 need not pay the ₹500 processing fee again.
When Will Choice Filling Begin?
Choice filling and locking will be available from:
- October 18 at 10 AM to October 19 at 5 PM.
All registered candidates participating in the round are instructed to perform choice locking according to their preferences. The schedule warns candidates to review their choices carefully because once choices are locked, they cannot be added, edited or deleted. If a candidate does not manually lock the options within the stipulated time, the system is scheduled to automatically lock the options.
When Is the MPT Round 2 Result?
Result processing is scheduled for October 20, followed by publication of the final Round 2 allotment result on October 21. Allotment will be based on rank, vacancy, candidate preferences and the applicable reservation rules.
When Can Candidates Download the Allotment Order?
Successful candidates can download their provisional allotment order from October 21 through October 24, up to 3 PM. The schedule states that selected candidates must make an online ₹5,000 payment toward tuition fee to obtain the allotment order. This amount is adjusted against tuition fee, with the remaining tuition payable at the allotted college.
What Is the Reporting Deadline?
Selected candidates must report to the allotted institution on or before October 24, 2026, up to 5 PM. Candidates must produce original documents in person along with scanned copies. The schedule lists documents including the BPT degree/provisional certificate, BPT mark sheets, CRRI completion certificate for BPT candidates, transfer certificate, Class 12 marksheet, community certificate where applicable, nativity certificate where claimed, proof of date of birth and eligibility certificate for candidates graduating from other universities. Failure to report within the specified date and time can result in cancellation of selection/admission without further notice.
Important: Vacancy List Is Tentative
The October 16 document is a tentative vacancy position, not a guarantee that any particular candidate will receive the displayed seat. Allotment depends on rank, eligibility, reservation, choice order and seat availability when the allotment process runs.
