Tamil Nadu PG Medical Applications: New October 16 Deadline Announced
Published 16 Oct 20264 min read6 Views
The Tamil Nadu Selection Committee has extended the online application deadline for PG Degree and Diploma admissions for the 2026–27 academic year to October 16, 2026, at 11:59 PM. The extension was announced through a notice dated October 14, 2026, issued by the Directorate of Medical Education and Research. The notice states that the application submission period was extended after candidates submitted representations requesting additional time. Applicants who have not completed their forms should use the official application portal and follow the instructions in the relevant prospectus. The extension applies to the PG Degree/Diploma application process. The DNB service-candidate application is a separate process and should not be confused with this deadline.

|---|---|
| Extended online application deadline | October 16, 2026, at 11:59 PM |
| Extension notice | October 14, 2026 |

The revised deadline is specified in Notification No. 1152/SCSII(1)/2026 issued by the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee.
Who Should Apply Through the PG Degree/Diploma Portal?
The Selection Committee's official website provides an application route for PG Degree/Diploma courses under Government and Management quota, including Minority and NRI categories.
Applicants should:
- Select the appropriate admission and quota route.
- Read the relevant 2026–27 prospectus.

- Submit the form before the extended deadline.
- Save the completed application acknowledgement and payment confirmation, where applicable.
Candidates should not assume that the application deadline automatically changes any separate counselling, choice-filling or document-verification schedule.

Is the DNB Service-Candidate Application Included?
The DNB Broad Speciality application for service candidates is listed separately by the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee. Candidates seeking DNB seats through the service-candidate process should check its specific portal and prospectus rather than assume that the PG Degree/Diploma extension applies to it.
What Happens After Application Submission?
The October 14 extension notice confirms the revised application deadline only. It does not provide a later date for the rank list, choice filling or counselling. Applicants should monitor the Selection Committee's official website for subsequent admission announcements. Submission of an application is not the same as completing counselling or securing a seat.
Deadline reminder: Online applications for the covered PG Degree/Diploma admission process close at 11:59 PM on October 16, 2026, as stated in the official extension notice.
