>

- MBBS

- BDS

>

A separate Not Eligible Candidate List has also been released.

Merit List Publication

Official publication date: 14 August 2026

JCECEB's official Download page now places the following as its newest NEET UG entries:

1. Not Eligible Candidate List — State Quota MBBS/BDS/BHMS
2. State Merit List — State Quota MBBS/BDS/BHMS

For Hire Guide Education, MBBS and BDS should remain the primary Medical/Dental counselling routes.

BHMS must remain separately tracked under AYUSH.

This Is the Jharkhand State Quota Merit List

This list must not be confused with the separate Jharkhand:

• Private MBBS All India/NRI Merit List
• Vananchal Dental College All India/NRI BDS Merit List

Those are different counselling routes.

The newly published list is specifically for:

Jharkhand State Quota Seats

What Candidates Should Check

Candidates should verify their details carefully, including:

• Candidate Name
• NEET UG 2026 details
• CML / State Merit position
• Category rank
• EWS rank, where applicable
• PwD rank/status, where applicable
• Applicable reservation eligibility
• Whether the candidate appears in the separate Not Eligible List

⚠️ A State Merit position is not an admission cutoff and does not itself confirm college allotment.

Not Eligible List Also Released

JCECEB has separately published the:

Not Eligible Candidate List for Round 1 State Quota MBBS/BDS/BHMS counselling

Candidates who do not find their name in the State Merit List should also check this official list before assuming that their application is missing.

Important Portal Verification Note

JCECEB's official homepage provides a link for:

All Online Counselling — 2026

However, the counselling portal itself timed out during Hire Guide Education's current verification.

Therefore:

Do not treat portal timeout as counselling closure.

But HGE should also not claim “Choice Filling Portal Live” until the candidate workflow is directly verified.

1. Open the official JCECEB Download page.
2. Download the State Merit List.
3. Search your Application Number / Name / NEET details.
4. Check your State/CML Rank and category rank.
5. Check the Not Eligible List if required.
6. Keep your counselling login details ready.
7. Prepare your genuine MBBS/BDS preference order.
8. Recheck JCECEB's official Online Counselling portal.
9. Complete Round 1 registration/choice filling within the official 14–19 August window once portal access is confirmed.
10. Keep all original documents ready for the later verification/admission stage.

Important HGE Data Rule

Do not use the last AIR or score appearing in this Merit List as a Round 1 admission cutoff.

For the HGE Cutoff database, wait for the official Round 1 seat-allotment result.

Hire Guide Education Advice

Jharkhand candidates should check their State Merit position now and prepare their Round 1 college preference order.

Keep the State Quota route separate from Jharkhand's private-college All India/NRI counselling route.
