The NEET PG 2026 exam was conducted on August 30, 2026, with a re-exam on September 5 for affected centers. The results were later released on September 24, 2026. The online application/registration for Kerala NEET PG Round 1 Counselling 2026 tentatively opened in the second week of October 2026, with the last date for application submission approximately 10-12 days after opening.

Counselling Process and Seat Distribution

Kerala NEET PG Counselling 2026 is conducted for admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses in government medical colleges, the Regional Cancer Centre (RCC), Thiruvananthapuram, and private self-financing medical colleges in Kerala. Seats are allotted through the Centralised Allotment Process (CAP) based on the candidate’s score and rank in NEET PG. The state has 1881 NEET PG seats, with 50% reserved under the Kerala State Quota and the remaining 50% under the All India Quota, managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC).

The counselling process includes Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up, and Stray Vacancy rounds. Kerala follows a domicile-oriented admission system for Government quota seats and is considered a Closed State, meaning outsider candidates are not eligible for private college seats. Non-Keralite MBBS Graduates from Kerala are eligible for admission but not for communal/special/PD reservation and must complete a one-year Senior Residency bond. Non-Keralite Service Doctors are eligible under the Service Quota as per a Kerala High Court judgment on March 7, 2024.

Required Documents for Admission

Candidates provisionally allotted seats will need to produce a specific set of documents at the time of admission. These include the Admit Card from the National Board of Examination, the Allotment memo from CEE, a document for date of birth, the MBBS Degree certificate, and a Permanent Registration Certificate from the Kerala State Medical Council or erstwhile T.C. Medical Council.

Other essential documents include the CRRI Certificate, a Certificate of Eligibility/Equivalency from KUHS (for non-Kerala MBBS graduates), required bonds, the Original Transfer Certificate, and a Relieving order for service candidates. The NEET PG 2026 qualifying cutoff requires a minimum of the 50th percentile for General category, 40th for SC/ST/OBC, and 45th for PwD candidates.
