The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) has identified 967 defective applications for Kerala NEET PG 2025 counselling. Affected candidates must rectify errors and re-upload required documents. The deadline for correction is 5:00 PM today, October 27 .
The CEE published a list of candidates with application defects. Most issues involve outdated or incorrect document submissions. Some applicants also uploaded signatures in the wrong format.
Candidates can access the defective list on the official CEE Kerala website. A link titled ‘Defective List’ is available for review. This notification is critical for applicants to ensure their eligibility for the counselling process.
Rectification Process
To correct application errors, candidates must log in to the Kerala NEET PG official portal, cee.kerala.gov.in. Use the assigned application number and password to access the profile page.
Once logged in, candidates will find detailed information about their specific defects under the ‘memo details’ menu. Reviewing these details is the first step before preparing documents for re-upload.
The CEE has emphasized that no further opportunity will be given for corrections after the stated deadline. Failure to meet the October 27, 5 PM deadline will result in significant consequences for applicants.
Document Requirements
Applicants must ensure all re-uploaded documents meet specific technical and quality standards. Submitting documents in an incorrect format or with defects can lead to disqualification. Adherence to these guidelines is mandatory.

| Sheet Type | Plain white paper |
| Scan Quality | Clear, not blurred |
| File Format | JPG or JPEG |
| Dimensions | 150 pixels width, 100 pixels height |

Candidates must scan their signature and crop the image precisely. Ensure the scanned file is in the specified format and meets size and dimension requirements. Incorrect signature uploads were a common defect identified by the CEE.

| File Size | Not exceeding 300KB |

All certificates, including academic and identity proofs, must be uploaded as clear PDF files. The CEE warns that uploading false or bogus documents will lead to immediate disqualification of the candidature. Candidates must retain original documents for verification at later stages.
Consequences of Non-Compliance
Candidates who fail to rectify defects in their Nativity documents by the deadline will forfeit reservation benefits. This applies even if they have uploaded other valid documents for reservation claims. The CEE will not provide any additional opportunities for correction.
The prompt correction of all identified defects is essential. Non-compliance could affect a candidate’s overall eligibility and chances for admission into the NEET PG 2025 counselling process.
Nativity Rules and Eligibility
Kerala NEET PG 2025 counselling includes specific nativity criteria. Children of non-Keralite parents who hold an MBBS degree from a medical college in Kerala are eligible. However, these candidates do not qualify for communal, special, or disability reservation benefits.
A 2024 Kerala High Court judgment modified the nativity clause for non-Keralite service doctors. This ruling makes them eligible for admission under the service quota. This change expands the pool of eligible candidates for certain admission categories.
Understanding these specific eligibility requirements is crucial for all applicants. Candidates should review all CEE guidelines thoroughly to confirm their status before the final submission deadline.
