The Directorate of Higher and Technical Education, Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Government of Puducherry, has moved Round 2 of its paramedical and allied health course counselling into the preference-submission stage. As of this report, the Round 2 seat allotment result has not yet been declared; CENTAC's most recent notices cover the Round 2 eligible candidates list and the submission of course preferences, both published on the official portal, centacpuducherry.in.

Where Things Stand Right Now

CENTAC administers paramedical and allied health admissions, including BSc Nursing, BPT, and BSc MLT, under its UG Non-NEET category alongside other professional and arts/science courses. On August 20, 2026, CENTAC issued a notice for submission of course preferences for Round 2 allotment, followed by the Round 2 eligible candidates merit list on August 26, 2026. Neither a Round 2 draft allotment list nor a provisional or final Round 2 seat allotment result had been published on the portal as of the most recent update available at the time of this report.

Round 2 dates for Puducherry paramedical counselling have historically been announced only a short time in advance; keep checking centacpuducherry.in directly rather than relying on a projected date, since none has been confirmed yet.— CaderaEdu Advisory

Round 2 draws on the vacancies that remained after Round 1 admissions closed, combined with candidates who did not secure a seat in Round 1 or who wish to be considered for an upgrade. Candidates whose names appear on the Round 2 eligible list are expected to submit or update their course preferences within the window CENTAC has notified; those who miss this step will not be considered when the allotment is processed.

How to Check the Result Once It's Out

  • Visit the official portal, centacpuducherry.in.
  • Open the UG NON-NEET dashboard, where paramedical and allied health courses are listed.
  • Look for the Round 2 draft or provisional allotment list notice once published.
  • Log in to the student dashboard using your registered credentials.
  • Check your allotted institute and course, and download the allotment order.

What Happens After the Result

Based on how CENTAC has processed earlier rounds this cycle, a draft allotment list is typically published first, followed by a provisional or final list after any objections are addressed, and then an admitted list once candidates complete reporting. Candidates allotted a seat in Round 2 will need to report to the allotted institution with original documents, including Class 12 mark sheets, NEET scorecard where applicable, category and income certificates, and photographs, within the window CENTAC notifies alongside the result. Candidates should raise any grievance about their allotment through the dashboard login promptly, since CENTAC's notices show only a short window for objections at each stage.

Background: How Puducherry Paramedical Counselling Works

Puducherry's paramedical merit list is prepared based on Class 12 marks or, for BSc Nursing government quota seats, the Puducherry Nursing Entrance Test (PNET), rather than a separate national exam. CENTAC releases the merit list in stages, typically a draft, a revised draft, and a final list, before counselling proceeds through Round 1, Round 2, a further round, and a mop-up round if seats remain vacant. Candidates should note that all these stages, including Round 3 and mop-up dates, remain to be announced for this cycle.

Conclusion

With the Round 2 eligible candidates list out and preference submission underway, candidates should complete or update their choices without delay and keep checking centacpuducherry.in for the seat allotment result, since CENTAC has not yet published a confirmed date for it.
