After verification, a state merit list will be released on the official website. This list will be prepared based on NEET ranks and reservation rules. Candidates can check their rank in this list.

Web Options Entry

Candidates whose names appear in the merit list will be allowed to fill their preferred colleges online. This step is called Web Options Entry.

Seat Allotment

Seats will be given automatically based on NEET rank, state merit position, category, and the choices filled by the candidate.

Reporting to Allotted College

After getting a seat, candidates must visit the allotted college. They need to submit original documents, pay the required fees, and complete physical verification to confirm their admission.

Important Instructions for Applicants

To prevent registration failure or application rejection, keep these guidelines in mind:

Single Registration Window

Upload Clear Original Documents

Always scan and upload documents directly from the original certificates. Do not use photocopies, black-and-white prints, or unclear mobile photos, as this can lead to cancellation of your registration.

Keep Contact Details Active

Make sure your mobile number and email ID remain active during the entire counselling process. You will receive important OTPs and official updates on these contacts.

Do Not Wait Till the Last Day

The registration portal will close strictly at 6:00 PM on 12 August 2026. To avoid technical issues or server problems, complete your registration, fee payment, and document upload well before the deadline.
