Candidates allotted a seat in Jharkhand’s NEET UG special stray round have four days left to report at their colleges. The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) published the provisional seat allotment lists on November 10, and the window for document verification and admission runs till November 16.
The round fills seats that stayed vacant after the regular rounds of counselling. Under the state quota, it covers BDS and BHMS seats. Under the All India quota, it covers MBBS seats in private medical colleges and BDS seats in two dental colleges. For many of the candidates involved, this is the last chance to take up a medical or dental seat this session, since seats left empty after this round stay vacant for the year.
Which seats the round covers
The All India MBBS seats are at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College and Hospital in Palamu, Sido Kanhu Medical College and Hospital in Dumka, and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in Khunti. The All India BDS seats are at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital in Garhwa and Awadh Dental College and Hospital in Jamshedpur. The state quota lists cover BDS and BHMS seats in colleges across Jharkhand.
Only candidates named in the state merit list could take part in this round. The board published a separate not-eligible list alongside it, and candidates on that list were kept out of choice filling. Seats were allotted strictly by rank in the state merit list, along with the preferences each candidate had filled.
How the round ran
The board issued the guidelines for the special stray round on November 3, and the state merit list and the not-eligible list came out on November 6. Registration and choice filling ran from November 6 to November 9. The provisional allotment lists followed on November 10, one for state quota BDS and BHMS seats, one for All India BDS seats, and one for All India MBBS seats.
Allotment letters can be downloaded from the counselling portal till November 16.
What allotted candidates must do now
Allotted candidates should download the provisional allotment letter from the official JCECEB NEET UG counselling portal and report to the allotted college between November 11 and November 16 with the original documents. The papers needed are the NEET UG 2026 admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and certificates, the allotment letter, domicile and category certificates where they apply, a photo identity proof, and recent passport-size photographs. Our admission documents checklist covers the papers counselling portals commonly ask for, which helps avoid a last-minute problem at the reporting counter.
Candidates who do not find their name in the allotment lists should check the not-eligible list and the reason recorded against it. The board can be reached at jceceboard@gmail.com or on 9264473891 and 9264473893.
A last round, and a national picture
Jharkhand is not the only state closing out its medical admissions this week. The Medical Counselling Committee’s own special stray round for MBBS left 411 of 948 seats vacant, and its reporting window also closes at 5 pm on November 16. For dental and nursing seats, the next step is the sixth round of BDS and BSc Nursing counselling, where registration opens on November 17 and the result is due on November 20.
