Tamil Nadu MPT Round 2: Important Dates

Who Can Participate in MPT Round 2?

The tentative schedule identifies the Round 2 rank band as:

• General Rank 001–717

with marks:

• 79.30–18.40. 

Candidates should check their own General Rank rather than relying only on marks. The schedule also says candidates who did not participate or did not join in Round 1 may participate in Round 2. 

Fresh Candidates Must Pay ₹500 Processing Fee

Fresh candidates participating in MPT online counselling must pay a non-refundable ₹500 processing fee online.

The schedule allows payment using:

• debit card;
• credit card;
• net banking;
• UPI. TN Medical Selection

Do Round 1 candidates pay again?

No. Candidates who already registered in Round 1 need not pay the ₹500 processing fee again. 

Official MPT Round 2 Portal Is Listed

The Tamil Nadu Selection Committee currently lists an official Round 2 online counselling link for Master of Physiotherapy 2026–27, and the linked page identifies itself as the Selection Committee’s MPT 2026–27 portal. Candidates should use only the official counselling route and retain transaction confirmation after completing any payment. Individual login or successful payment status must be confirmed from the candidate’s own account.

MPT Tentative Vacancy Position Is Available

The Selection Committee has also published a tentative MPT vacancy position as on October 16, 2026 for government and self-financing colleges. 

Adding the published speciality totals gives:

• 4 tentative vacancies in the government-college section;
• 123 tentative vacancies in self-financing colleges;
• 127 tentative listed vacancies overall. 

These figures describe the October 16 tentative document. They do not guarantee that every listed vacancy will remain available to every candidate during allotment.

Choice Filling Starts October 18

Round 2 choice filling and locking are scheduled from:

• October 18 at 10 AM to October 19 at 5 PM. 

Candidates will select their preferred colleges and MPT specialities based on the options available to their community/category.

The schedule says allotment will ultimately depend on:

• rank order;
• available seats;
• reservation rules;
• order of candidate preferences. 

Candidates Should Review Choices Carefully

Once choices are locked, candidates are not allowed to add, edit or delete them.  The online procedure also states that two confirmations are required before locking and an OTP will be sent to the candidate’s registered mobile number. After locking, candidates should download or print the locked choices. 

What If a Candidate Does Not Lock Choices?

The schedule says that if a candidate does not manually lock options within the stipulated time, the system will automatically lock the options.  Candidates should still manually review and lock their preferences rather than relying on automatic locking.

What if a Candidate Wants to Keep the Round 1 Seat?

Candidates who wish to retain their existing seat need not participate in Round 2 counselling.  This makes the decision to participate particularly important for candidates already holding a Round 1 seat.

Important Upgradation Rule

A Round 1 candidate who opts for upgradation and receives an upgraded seat in Round 2 must vacate the previous seat. The official schedule states that such a candidate cannot claim to retain the earlier seat after upgradation.  Candidates should therefore order their Round 2 preferences only with colleges and specialities they are genuinely willing to accept.

When Will the MPT Round 2 Result Be Released?

Processing of the Round 2 result is scheduled for October 20, followed by the final Round 2 allotment result on October 21, 2026. The allotted-candidate list will be published through the official Selection Committee website.

When Can Candidates Download the Allotment Order?

Successful candidates are scheduled to download the provisional allotment order from October 21 until October 24 at 3 PM.  Selected candidates must pay ₹5,000 online towards tuition fee to obtain the allotment order. This amount is adjusted against the tuition fee payable to the college.  This ₹5,000 amount is different from the ₹500 Round 2 processing fee.

What Is the MPT Reporting Deadline?

Candidates allotted a Round 2 seat must report to the selected institution:

• on or before October 24, 2026, up to 5 PM. 

Failure to report within the prescribed period can lead to cancellation of selection/admission without further notice. 

What Documents Are Required for Joining?

The official schedule requires candidates to produce originals in person, along with scanned copies, including:

• BPT degree or provisional certificate;
• BPT marksheets from first to final year;
• CRRI completion certificate for BPT candidates;
• transfer certificate;
• Class 12 marksheet;
• community certificate, where applicable;
• nativity certificate where Tamil Nadu nativity is claimed;
• proof of date of birth;
• eligibility certificate from Tamil Nadu Dr. M.G.R. Medical University for candidates graduating from other universities. 

The Schedule Is Tentative

The Selection Committee itself labels the document “Tentative Online Round-2 Counselling Schedule 2026–2027.”  Candidates should therefore continue checking the official Selection Committee page for amendments before each major deadline.
