Jharkhand NEET UG Counselling 2026 – Complete Guide to MBBS & BDS Admission

Jharkhand NEET UG Counselling 2026 is the official state-level admission process for allocating MBBS and BDS seats across all medical and dental colleges in Jharkhand. Conducted by the Combined Counselling Board (CCB), Jharkhand, this counselling covers the 85% state quota seats reserved for candidates holding a valid Jharkhand domicile certificate. The remaining 15% seats fall under the All India Quota (AIQ) managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Every candidate seeking MBBS admission in India through the Jharkhand state route must qualify NEET UG 2026 and register on the CCB Jharkhand portal.

Jharkhand offers ~2,500+ MBBS seats across 8+ medical colleges for the 2026-27 session, comprising 5+ (RIMS Ranchi, MGM MC Jamshedpur, PMCH Dhanbad, Hazaribag MC, AIIMS Deoghar) government and 3+ (Manipal Tata MC Jamshedpur, Rajendra MC, others) private institutions. RIMS Ranchi (est. 1960) is the premier institution. AIIMS Deoghar and Manipal Tata MC Jamshedpur add new-generation medical education options. Jharkhand's high ST reservation (~26%) benefits tribal candidates from the Chota Nagpur Plateau region. The state counselling process ensures transparent, merit-based admissions following NEET counselling guidelines prescribed by MCC and NMC. Understanding the reservation policy and cutoff trends is essential for making informed choice-filling decisions.

CCB Jharkhand – Counselling Authority & Process

The Jharkhand NEET counselling process is conducted in online mode through the official portal (jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in). After NEET UG 2026 results are declared (expected June 2026), CCB Jharkhand publishes a state merit list based on NEET scores and domicile verification. Eligible candidates participate in multiple counselling rounds — Round 1, Round 2, mop-up, and stray vacancy — where they fill college and course preferences before the seat allotment algorithm assigns seats based on merit, category, and availability. Candidates allotted a seat must report to the assigned college with original documents and pay fees within the stipulated timeline. The registration fee is ₹1,000–₹3,000.
