Jharkhand NEET PG Counselling 2026 is the state-level counselling process for admission to Postgraduate Medical courses such as MD, MS, PG Diploma and DNB seats in Jharkhand.
The counselling is conducted by the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) on the basis of the NEET PG 2026 result/rank. JCECEB's previous PG counselling notices specifically covered MD/MS/Diploma & DNB State Quota seats.
