Understanding the Choice Filling Process
Choice filling is a crucial step where students select their preferred medical colleges and the specialisation courses they wish to study. Students need to log in to the JCECEB website and list their choices in order of preference. After making their selections, they must 'lock' their choices. Once choices are locked, they cannot be changed unless the editing window opens.
The JCECEB will open a window for editing choices on December 19, 2025 . This is a one-day chance for students to review their selected colleges and courses and make any final changes before the seat allotment result is prepared. Students must use this opportunity carefully if they need to adjust their preferences.
What Happens After the Result?
On December 22, 2025 , JCECEB will announce the provisional seat allotment result for Round 2. This result will show which college and course a student has been temporarily allotted based on their NEET PG score and the choices they filled. Students can check this result on the official website.
If a student is allotted a seat, they will need to download their provisional allotment letter. This letter is available from December 23, 2025 , until December 28, 2025 . This letter is essential for the next step, which is document verification.
Document Verification and Admission
From December 23 to December 28, 2025 , all candidates who have been allotted a seat must go for document verification. During this process, students must present all their original documents for checking. This step confirms their eligibility and verifies the information provided during registration. After successful document verification, students must complete the admission process at their allotted college within the same timeframe.
Important Tips for Filling Your Choices
Students should keep the following points in mind while filling their choices to increase their chances of getting a good seat:
- Prioritise Your Specialisation: Think about which medical subject (branch) you want to study more than just the college name. Choose the branch that truly interests you first.
- Be Realistic with Choices: Look at the previous year's cut-off scores for different branches and colleges. Choose options that match your NEET PG score to have a better chance of admission.
- Fill Many Options: Do not limit your choices. Fill as many colleges and courses as you are interested in. This helps avoid missing an opportunity if your top choices are not available.
- Avoid Irrelevant Choices: Only add choices that you are genuinely willing to join. Do not fill choices for colleges or branches you have no interest in, as this can take up valuable options.
By following these guidelines and keeping track of the important dates, students can navigate the Jharkhand NEET PG 2025 Round 2 counselling process smoothly.
