Jharkhand NEET UG 2026 Round 3: Revised Seat Matrix Out, Choice Filling Ends October 7
Jharkhand NEET UG 2026 Round 3 candidates should review the revised seat matrix before completing their college preferences. The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board has listed updated matrices for state quota MBBS, BDS and BHMS seats, alongside a separate revised matrix for All India and NRI quota MBBS seats.
The published schedule sets October 7, 2026, at 6 p.m. as the choice-filling deadline. Candidates should distinguish this deadline from the separately listed evening window for editing already-filled choices.
Round 3 Counseling: Important Dates
| Activity | Scheduled Date |
|---|---|
| Choice-filling deadline | October 7, 2026, up to 6 p.m. |
| Editing filled choices | October 7, 2026, from 6:01 p.m. to midnight |
| Provisional allotment letter availability | October 9–14, 2026 |
| Document verification and admission | October 10–14, 2026 |
Follow the latest board notice and the instructions displayed in your counseling account. Do not assume that an editing window permits fresh registration or first-time choice entry after the earlier deadline.
Why the Revised Seat Matrix Matters
The matrix identifies the seats available for consideration in the relevant counseling round. Candidates should examine the college, course, quota and category columns rather than relying only on a headline vacancy total.
State quota and All India or NRI quota documents cover different seat pools. A vacancy appearing in one document should not be treated as available under another quota. Check your eligibility against the correct admission instructions before adding a preference.
How to Review and Finalize Your Choices
- Open the board’s official website and locate the revised Round 3 matrix.
- Download the document matching your course and quota.
- Compare relevant entries with your existing preference list.
- Sign in to the counseling account and review the available options.
- Arrange eligible college-course combinations in your preferred order.
- Complete the required saving or locking steps and retain the confirmation.
Before finalizing, read the portal’s warning messages carefully. Check whether your choices are merely saved or formally submitted, and whether further editing remains available under the applicable rules.
Four Checks Before Selecting a College
- Course: Confirm that the entry is for the degree you intend to pursue.
- Cost: Review tuition, accommodation and other compulsory charges.
- Location: Consider travel and arrangements for reporting within the admission window.
- Existing admission: Read the Round 3 upgrade and seat-retention conditions before seeking a change.
What Happens After Choice Submission?
Candidates should check their accounts during the scheduled allotment period and download the provisional letter if a seat is assigned. Read the reporting instructions before visiting the institution, including the documents and payments required.
A seat matrix is not an allotment result, and listing a college as a preference does not guarantee admission there. Keep your submitted choices and acknowledgments together so that you can compare the eventual allotment with your application record.
If a portal problem prevents submission, record the error and contact the designated helpdesk promptly. Avoid leaving the final review until the closing minutes, when there may be little time to resolve a discrepancy.
