NEET Counselling 2025 is based on the NEET exam results declared in June 2025 and is required for admission to medical and dental seats across India. The process includes registration, payment of counselling fee, choice filling, seat allotment, document verification, and reporting at allotted colleges. Both national and state-level counselling are organized separately, so students need to follow the correct procedure for their desired region.
The Jharkhand NEET 2025 counselling for the 2025-26 academic session is currently active on the official website: neetugcet.jceceb.org.in. The counselling process by JCECEB has started with the registration step, and eligible candidates can apply until July 26, 2025. The merit list for Round 1 counselling will be announced on July 29, followed by the start of online registration and choice filling from July 30, 2025. This year, a separate website has also been launched for those applying to Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College and Hospital in Bishrampur, Palamu. You can find the direct link to apply for counselling on the official portal.
The authority conducting State Counselling will manage 85% of seat admissions through State Quota counselling, while the Medical Counselling Committee will handle seat admissions for the All India quota. The state has more than 9 medical and approximately 4 dental colleges, with around 1005 medical and 363 dental seats to be allocated through State Counselling.
Candidates are required to register, choose their desired colleges, and complete several rounds of the counselling procedure before receiving a seat allocation based on their merit rank, category, and availability. After each round, a process for verifying documents and reporting to the assigned college is conducted.
