Kerala NEET PG Seat Matrix (Status)
CEE Kerala had not published the 2026 state quota seat matrix or category-wise distribution at the time of writing. The 2025-26 prospectus lists these annexures as “will be notified separately,” which is standard practice before each admission cycle begins – the fresh matrix is typically released a few days before choice filling starts, once NEET PG results and eligibility lists are ready.
