Jharkhand NEET PG Counselling 2026 is the centralized, merit-based state admission process for postgraduate medical courses (MD, MS, and PG Diploma) across government and private medical institutions in the state. The entire counselling procedure is strictly organized and administered online by the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB), Ranchi.

Following the national dual-channel allocation system, 50% of seats in state government medical colleges are contributed to the All India Quota (AIQ) managed centrally by MCC, while the remaining 50% of government seats and 100% of state private college seats are administered by JCECEB.

1. Government / State Quota (50% Seats in Government Colleges)

• Comprises 50% of the total postgraduate MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across Jharkhand Government Medical Colleges, including Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS) Ranchi and MGM Medical College Jamshedpur. A designated percentage of seats in private colleges is also allocated under the state-subsidized quota.
• Reserved for permanent Domiciliaries/residents of Jharkhand, or candidates who completed their qualifying MBBS from an NMC-recognized institution within Jharkhand. Candidates admitted to Bihar medical colleges before the state reorganization (prior to November 2000) are also eligible. Reservation applies for ST, SC, BC-I, BC-II, and EWS categories.
