Manipur NEET PG Merit List 2026: The Directorate of Health Services (DHS), Government of Manipur, will release the Manipur MD/MS merit list for all registered, eligible NEET PG 2026 candidates competing for the state’s 50% state-quota postgraduate medical seats. NEET PG 2026 was successfully conducted on August 30, 2026, with over 2.65 lakh candidates appearing nationwide. NBEMS is yet to announce the exact NEET PG 2026 result date; as of September 11, 2026, only the outer deadline of September 30, 2026, stands confirmed. The Manipur state merit list will follow once NBEMS declares the national result and DHS Manipur opens state counselling registration.

State Quota vs 50% AIQ: How Manipur PG Seats Are Split

NEET PG admissions in every state, including Manipur, run through two parallel counselling tracks:

• 50% All India Quota (AIQ): Conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for seats pooled from every state, plus all deemed/central university and ESIC/AFMS seats.
• 50% State Quota: Conducted by DHS Manipur for candidates with Manipur domicile, covering the remaining seats in the state’s government medical colleges.

Category-Wise Reservation & Cutoff

Manipur applies state reservation norms across categories such as SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwBD, in line with the state’s overall admission policy. The minimum NEET PG qualifying percentile is set nationally by NBEMS (50th percentile for general category, with relaxed percentiles for reserved categories), while DHS Manipur separately notifies the state-specific cutoff rank/score needed to feature on the state merit list. Because Manipur has no private PG seats, the state cutoff is closely tied each year to the total number of state-quota seats and the number of eligible, domiciled applicants.

Choice Filling and Seat Allotment Process

Once the merit list is published, the counselling process for Manipur NEET PG typically follows these stages:

1. Choice Filling: Candidates log in to the DHS Manipur portal and rank their preferred colleges and PG courses in order of preference.
2. Locking Choices: Choices must be locked before the deadline; no changes are possible after the window closes.
3. Seat Allotment: An algorithm matches locked choices against the candidate’s merit rank and seat availability to generate the allotment result.
4. Document Verification & Reporting: Allotted candidates report – typically to RIMS, Imphal, or the respective allotted college – with original certificates, the NEET PG scorecard, and other required documents within the specified deadline.
5. Fee Payment & Admission Confirmation: Admission is confirmed only after the reporting fee is paid within the stipulated time.

Documents Required

Candidates should keep the following documents ready before participating in Manipur NEET PG counselling:

• MBBS degree certificate
• Mark sheets for MBBS 1st, 2nd, and 3rd year examinations
• Medical Registration Certificate (State Medical Council / NMC)
