The final merit list decides who is eligible to get a seat based on their NEET PG score and state merit.
Filling Your Choices for Colleges and Courses
From December 16 to December 18, 2025 , eligible students must fill in their choices. This means students will select the medical colleges and specific postgraduate courses they wish to join. Students should choose carefully, listing their most preferred options first. The seat allotment depends on these choices, the student's rank, and the availability of seats.
Provisional Seat Allotment
JCECEB will issue the provisional seat allotment letter on December 22, 2025 . This letter tells students which college and course they have been temporarily given a seat in. It is based on the student's merit, the choices they filled, and how many seats are open in different colleges. Students must download this letter and follow the instructions given.

After documents are checked and found correct, students must complete the admission formalities, including paying the necessary fees, to confirm their seat.
