Jharkhand NEET PG Cutoff 2026
The official Jharkhand NEET PG Counselling 2026 cutoff will be known only after the counselling rounds. For planning purposes, candidates can use previous-year closing ranks to estimate their admission chances.
Expected NEET PG Qualifying Cutoff 2026
| Category | Expected Qualifying Percentile | Previous-year Marks Reference |
| General/EWS | 50th percentile | Around 276 marks |
| General-PwD | 45th percentile | Around 255 marks |
| SC/ST/OBC | 40th percentile | Around 235 marks |
These marks are reference figures based on the previous qualifying threshold, not the official NEET PG 2026 cutoff. The qualifying marks can change depending on the final percentile/marks announced by the competent authority.
Expected Jharkhand NEET PG Closing Rank
For state counselling, branch-wise closing ranks vary sharply by college and category. Previous-year data shows that RIMS Ranchi is the most competitive government option, with General-category closing ranks for popular branches extending from the low thousands for Radiodiagnosis/General Medicine to much higher ranks for non-clinical specialties.
| College | Branch | 2025 Closing Rank Reference | 2026 Expected Trend |
| RIMS Ranchi | MD Radiodiagnosis | 2,266 | Around 1,500–4,000 |
| RIMS Ranchi | MD General Medicine | 1,783 | Around 1,500–4,000 |
| RIMS Ranchi | MD Paediatrics | 7,036 | Around 5,000–10,000 |
| RIMS Ranchi | MS Orthopaedics | 7,007 | Around 5,000–10,000 |

| MGM Jamshedpur | MS General Surgery | 15,635 | Around 12,000–20,000 |
| MGM Jamshedpur | MS Ophthalmology | 23,080 | Around 18,000–30,000 |
| MGM Jamshedpur | MS ENT | 19,788 | Around 15,000–28,000 |
Note: Closing-rank data varies by round; figures above are intended as indicative 2026 planning ranges, not guaranteed cutoffs. Previous-year RIMS and MGM closing ranks show significant variation between rounds and categories.
Candidates should use the 2025 closing rank only as a trend indicator. The actual Jharkhand NEET PG Cutoff 2026 will depend on NEET PG 2026 rank distribution, candidate preferences, category-wise competition and the seats available in each round.
Jharkhand NEET PG Merit List 2026

JCECEB generally publishes a provisional merit list first, allowing candidates to check their NEET PG rank, category, state eligibility and other details. Candidates who find discrepancies can raise objections within the prescribed deadline.
