The J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) has issued an important notification for NEET PG 2025 candidates belonging to the Union Territories of J&K and Ladakh. The board has published the Re-Revised Provisional Merit List for MD/MS/PG Diploma Courses-2025, along with the online choice filling and counselling schedule for Round-3/Mop-Up admissions.
Notification No.: 021-BOPEE of 2026
Date: 30-01-2026
Reference Code: NEET-PG-MDMSPGD-NN-021 Dt. 30-01-2026
The latest notification comes as a key step for candidates who are waiting for Round-3 seat allotment or hoping for upgradation in the Mop-Up counselling round.
Why JKBOPEE Issued the Re-Revised Merit List?
According to JKBOPEE, the revision is a result of developments after the reduction of percentile by NBEMS (National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences). Based on this reduction, the board reopened the online registration portal for eligible and willing NEET PG aspirants from the UT of J&K/Ladakh for admission to MD/MS/PGD Courses – 2025.
Earlier, JKBOPEE published a revised provisional merit list through:
- Notification No. 009-BOPEE of 2026 dated 15-01-2026
- Notification No. 019-BOPEE of 2026 dated 25-01-2026
However, after the revised list was uploaded, candidates were allowed to submit objections/representations within the given deadline. The board received two representations, and after verification, the list was updated again—resulting in the Re-Revised Provisional Merit List.
Representations Considered by JKBOPEE
JKBOPEE received representations from the following candidates:
- Sheikh Aliya Shafi – request to consider Difficult Area Certificate issued by Director Health Services.
- Zahid Manzoor Dar – request to consider EWS certificate.
After verification of documents, JKBOPEE decided:
- Zahid Manzoor Dar’s EWS category was accepted, since the certificate was issued within the required timeline fixed by the board.
- Sheikh Aliya Shafi will be allowed provisionally to participate in the counselling process, but must produce a NOC (No Objection Certificate) from the competent authority within the prescribed time (at the time of admission if allotted).
Annexures Released With the Notification
JKBOPEE has prepared and uploaded the updated merit lists as:
