3. Locate the special-round notice for All India MBBS and BDS seats.

What Should Allotted Candidates Do Next?

Candidates who receive a provisional allotment should read the letter carefully and contact the allotted college for the admission schedule, document requirements and fee instructions. They should keep their NEET UG 2026 scorecard, admit card, academic certificates, identity proof and applicable category documents ready.

The allotment letter alone does not confirm completed admission. Candidates must satisfy the institution's eligibility and document-verification requirements and follow any further instructions issued by JCECEB.
