Understanding Key Counselling Stages
Each stage of the counselling process holds specific importance. Candidates should understand each step to navigate the admission procedure effectively.
State Merit List
The State Merit List ranks candidates based on their NEET UG scores and eligibility for Jharkhand state quota seats. JCECEB publishes this list on October 4 . Candidates can check their rank and category details here. This ranking determines their eligibility for seat allotment.
Vacant Seat Matrix
JCECEB will release the Vacant Seat Matrix on October 6 . This document details the number of available seats in each medical and dental college, broken down by course and reservation category. Candidates should review this matrix thoroughly before filling their choices.
Choice Filling and Locking
This stage, from October 6 to October 14 , requires candidates to select their preferred colleges and courses. Candidates must prioritize their choices carefully. Once choices are filled, candidates can edit them until October 15 . After this, choices lock automatically. Locked choices form the basis for provisional seat allotment.
Provisional Seat Allotment and Document Verification
JCECEB will release provisional seat allotment letters between October 17 and October 22 . Candidates must download this letter. Subsequently, allocated candidates must report for document verification and admission from October 18 to October 22 . This occurs at the designated institution.
During document verification, candidates must present original certificates. Required documents typically include the NEET UG Admit Card, NEET UG Scorecard, Class 10th and 12th mark sheets and passing certificates, domicile certificate, category certificate (if applicable), and identity proof. Failure to produce original documents or meet eligibility criteria will result in seat forfeiture.
Important Notes for Candidates
