J&K NEET Counselling 2026: Schedule, Selection List, Choice Filling & Seat Allotment

The Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) conducts the JKBOPEE NEET counselling 2026 for MBBS, BDS and AYUSH admissions across Jammu & Kashmir. Admission runs on Re NEET 2026 scores - the original NEET UG exam of May 3, 2026 was cancelled over paper leak allegations and re-conducted on June 21, 2026, with the result expected in late July.

Through this process, 1,309 MBBS/AYUSH seats and 229 BDS seats in government and private colleges of J&K are filled. One rule catches candidates out every year: only those who have successfully submitted the J&K NEET application form and appear in the state merit list can take part in counselling.

J&K NEET Counselling 2026 - Key Highlights

JKBOPEE NEET Counselling 2026 Dates

BOPEE has not yet announced the schedule; it will be published on the JKBOPEE official website after the Re NEET 2026 result. J&K's calendar is unusually long because several quotas run on separate, partly offline tracks.

J&K NEET Selection List 2026 (Merit List)

The JKBOPEE NEET UG selection list 2026 is the document that decides who proceeds. BOPEE prepares it from Re NEET 2026 scores, applying the state's reservation rules, and releases it as a downloadable PDF on jkbopee.gov.in.

Here's how it works in practice:

• BOPEE first publishes a provisional merit list, followed by an objection window in which candidates can raise discrepancies.

• After objections are settled, the final JKBOPEE NEET selection list is issued. Only candidates whose names appear on it may fill choices.

• Separate selection lists are prepared for different quotas and categories, so check the one matching your claimed category.

• A fresh merit list is issued again ahead of Round 2, since additional seats and fresh registrations enter the pool at that stage.

To download the JKBOPEE NEET UG selection list 2026 PDF: open jkbopee.gov.in, go to the Notifications/Downloads section, click the MBBS/BDS selection list link, and search the PDF for your NEET roll number or application number. Save a copy — you'll need it at document verification.

J&K Counselling Login and Registration

Access to jkbopee.gov.in counselling login is through the applicant portal using the same credentials created when filling the J&K NEET application form. BOPEE does not issue new counselling credentials — if you've lost your login details, recover them through the portal before the choice-filling window opens, not during it.

Before the process starts, BOPEE conducts a mock counselling exercise so candidates can practise the choice-filling interface. Use it. Candidates who skip the mock round routinely mis-order preferences on the live portal.

J&K NEET Counselling 2026 - Step-by-Step Process

Step 1 - Log in: Sign in to the JKBOPEE counselling login using the credentials from your J&K NEET application form.

Step 2 - Choice filling: Enter your preferred courses and colleges. You may delete and rearrange choices freely before locking. At least one preference is mandatory — candidates who fill none are excluded from the rest of the admission process. Fill as many options as you reasonably can; a short list is the most common cause of going unallotted.

Step 3 - Seat allotment result: BOPEE publishes the result for each round separately, based on your preferences, seat availability and the reservation policy. Note that J&K sometimes issues a revised allotment result after Round 1 — always check for the revision, not just the first list. Take a printout.

Step 4 - Reporting: Report to the allotted college within the stated window with all original documents. Candidates who fail to report on time are removed from further consideration for J&K MBBS/BDS admission.

J&K NEET Counselling Fee 2026

The fee must be paid to participate in the counselling rounds. Keep the payment receipt — it is checked alongside your documents.

Documents Required for JKBOPEE NEET UG Counselling 2026

Candidates must upload and later produce the following at verification:

• Re NEET 2026 scorecard

• Re NEET 2026 admit card

• Class 10 and Class 12 pass certificates

• Class 12 marksheet

• J&K NEET 2026 application form

• Date of birth certificate (the Class 10 certificate is accepted)

• Valid photo ID proof

• Domicile certificate

• Permanent Residence Certificate

Category-specific Certificates (If Claiming Reservation):

• Poor & Backward (PB) Certificate — for candidates claiming the backward-area category

• Children of Defence Personnel Certificate

• JKPM certificate — for children of permanent residents serving in paramilitary forces and the J&K state police

• Sports (SP) certificate — issued by the Secretary, J&K Sports Council, for candidates with outstanding sporting proficiency

• Hindu Minority (HM) / NRI documents — submitted in a separate, dedicated window during Round 1

That HM and NRI window is easy to miss. If you're claiming either quota, mark the document-submission date the moment BOPEE announces it — there is a limited deficiency-clearing window afterwards, and nothing beyond it.

J&K NEET Counselling 2026 - Participating Institutes and Seat Intake

GMC Jammu and GMC Srinagar are the two largest and most competitive, at 153 seats each. SKIMS Srinagar, at 106 seats, is the state's premier institute and generally closes highest.

Key Points to Remember for J&K NEET Counselling 2026

• BOPEE conducts a mock counselling round first - attend it to understand the interface before the live window.

• Study the previous year's JKBOPEE selection list to gauge the merit score you need for your preferred college.

• Order preferences properly: most-wanted college and course first, then second, third, and so on. The system allots your highest available choice - a badly ordered list quietly costs you a better seat.

• Pay the ₹1,500 counselling fee before the deadline.

• After submitting the preference form, download and print at least one copy for your records.

• Watch for the revised allotment result after Round 1 and the offline windows for Central Pool and the Kerala GMC seat.
