NEET PG 2026 Jharkhand provisional merit list released: submit corrected documents by November 1

The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) released the provisional state merit list for NEET PG 2026 on October 27, 2026. This list is for the first round of online counselling for admission to State Quota PG Medical Degree, Diploma, and DNB seats for the 2026-27 academic year in Jharkhand.

A total of 304 candidates have been ranked in this provisional list, which is based on NEET PG 2026 scores, with incentive marks applied for in-service and reserved category candidates. The counselling process aims to determine eligibility for seat allocation in postgraduate medical courses, including MD, MS, and PG Diploma programs.

Key Dates for NEET PG 2026 Counselling Round 1

The application submission and document verification period for the first round of counselling took place from October 21 to October 25, 2026. The provisional merit ranking was announced on October 26, 2026, followed by a window for merit list grievances on October 27, 2026. The final merit ranking publication is scheduled for October 28, 2026.

Following the final merit list, candidates are slated to complete seat selection and counselling registration on October 29 and October 30, 2026. Provisional allotment letters are expected to be released on November 2, 2026, with institute reporting and admission formalities scheduled from November 3 to November 10, 2026.

Addressing Certificate Defects and Objections

Candidates flagged with certificate defects, such as ‘Caste Certificate is of C.O Level’ or ‘Income and Assets Certificate is of C.O. Level’, are required to submit corrected documents by November 1, 2026. These corrected documents must be at the S.D.O or D.C level to ensure candidates retain their category benefits. Failure to submit the necessary corrected documents by the deadline will result in the candidate being treated under the General category.

Also, the provisional not eligible list for NEET (PG) – 2026 for the first round of online counselling was also released on October 27, 2026. Candidates who have objections or require corrections to the provisional state merit list can send a representation with supporting documents via email to controller.jceceb@gmail.com until 5:00 PM on October 28, 2026.
