# CENTAC Puducherry opens MD/MS admissions, deadline October 27 2026-10-21T17:06:12+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC) of Puducherry has opened online applications for NEET-PG qualified doctors seeking admission to MD and MS programmes for the 2026-27 academic year. The application deadline is October 27, 2026, at 5 pm. Applications are invited under three quota categories: Government Quota for Puducherry residents, Management Quota, and Management-Telugu Minority Quota. Application fees range from ₹1,500 to ₹5,000 depending on quota and category, and all fees are non-refundable. The seat matrix, which will detail the number of seats available under each quota and category, has not yet been published. CENTAC has stated it will be released once information is received from competent authorities. Candidates are advised to monitor the CENTAC website after the deadline for the seat matrix and counselling process. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Candidates must apply by October 27 without knowing the exact seat count in their preferred specialty, creating a planning challenge. The seat matrix, when released after the deadline, will determine realistic chances of securing a seat. CENTAC has warned that submitting fake certificates or duplicate applications will lead to rejection and possible legal action. ## Coverage - medadmit.in Straight information bulletin with no slant This brief was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
