Jharkhand is a small PG medical state, which makes the seat matrix even more important. With only a few hundred seats, a difference of one or two seats in a branch can change your whole choice list. This guide covers the 2026 seat position, college-wise MD/MS and Diploma seats, DNB options, the 50% state quota rule, JCECEB counselling steps, and how to build a smart choice list.

AIQ vs State Quota Seats in Jharkhand
By NMC policy, government medical colleges participating in the All India Quota (AIQ) generally contribute around 50% of their eligible PG seats to MCC’s AIQ counselling, while the remaining 50% are filled through JCECEB’s state-quota counselling against Jharkhand’s own reservation categories (General, EWS, BC-I, BC-II, SC, ST). Institutes such as the Central Institute of Psychiatry may follow a separate central-institute allotment process rather than this standard split, so candidates should verify the applicable quota for each college on the official counselling notice before choice-filling.
Government vs Private Medical College PG Seats
Jharkhand’s confirmed NEET PG seats currently sit entirely with government and central institutions – RIMS Ranchi, MGM Jamshedpur, SNMMC Dhanbad, Sadar Hospital Ranchi, CIP Ranchi, and RINPAS. NMC’s institutional records do list private medical colleges in the state, including Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College and Netaji Subhas Medical College, but no official document currently confirms MD/MS/Diploma PG seats at either college. Treat any claim of confirmed private PG seats in Jharkhand as unverified until JCECEB’s 2026-27 matrix settles the question.

Documents Required
Keep scans ready before registration:
- NEET PG scorecard and admit card
- MBBS degree or provisional certificate, and internship completion certificate

- Category certificate (SC, ST, BC-I, BC-II, EWS) in the prescribed format

How to Use the Seat Matrix for Choice Filling
- Know your rank and category. Use the College Predictor to get a realistic range.
- List branches first, then colleges. Decide must-have and acceptable branches.
- Check seat counts. A branch with 1 or 2 seats is volatile.
- Check quota and category. Make sure the seat is open to you.
- Fill many choices. With few seats, a short list can leave you with nothing.
- Compare AIQ and state options. Decide which route gives the better outcome.
- Review each round. Update your list when a new matrix appears.

How to Check the Official Seat Matrix
- Visit jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in.
- Open the PG medical counselling section.
- Select the seat matrix for the current round.
- Download the PDF and check by college, branch, and category
