The Jammu and Kashmir NEET UG Counselling 2026 is the official gateway for medical aspirants aiming to secure MBBS, BDS, and AYUSH seats across government and private medical colleges in the Union Territory. The counselling process is highly regulated and administered by the Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE).
Admissions for the 85% UT quota seats are granted strictly on the basis of merit and scores achieved in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG) 2026. The BOPEE handles the entire admission pipeline, which includes online registration, document verification, the release of the UT provisional merit list (PML), and the subsequent rounds of online choice filling and seat allotment.
To participate in the JK BOPEE NEET 2026 counselling for the UT quota, candidates must strictly adhere to the following eligibility conditions:
Nationality & Domicile: The applicant must be an Indian citizen. Crucially, the candidate must possess a valid Domicile Certificate of UT of J&K or UT of Ladakh. (Note: Candidates from Ladakh are allocated seats from the central pool/specific reservations as per UT agreements).
