The medical admission process in Kerala has advanced significantly with the release of the provisional merit list and category list for NEET PG 2025 Round 1. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) has successfully shortlisted 5,884 candidates who are now eligible to participate in the state-level counseling for various postgraduate medical courses, including MD, MS, and PG Diploma programs. These crucial lists outline each candidate’s rank and category status, which will directly impact their seat allotment prospects. Alongside this update, a few applications have been identified with missing or incorrect documents. It is imperative for these candidates to rectify their submissions by the specified deadlines issued by the CEE. All students are strongly encouraged to meticulously review these lists and stay informed about the subsequent phases of the admission schedule.
Crucial Deadlines for Ineligible Candidates and Document Rectification
A total of 34 candidates have regrettably been deemed ineligible at this initial stage, primarily due to incomplete or improper document submissions. To provide a fair chance, these applicants have been granted a final opportunity to correct any deficiencies by uploading all necessary documents before 12 PM on November 4, 2025. Non-compliance with this deadline will unfortunately lead to their removal from Round 1 eligibility. This follows a previous notification where the CEE had identified 967 defective applications, directing those candidates to finalize their documentation by October 27, 2025.
Simple Steps to Access Your Kerala NEET PG 2025 Provisional Merit List
To help candidates easily find their status, here’s a straightforward guide to checking the merit list online:
- Open your web browser and navigate to the official CEE Kerala website.
- On the homepage, locate and click on the “PG Admission” (or “PG Medical 2025 — Candidate Portal” if shown) link.
- Within the PG Admission/Candidate Portal area, look for links labeled “Provisional Merit List,” “Category List,” or “NEET PG 2025 Round 1” and click on the relevant PDF link.
- The list will open as a PDF. It’s recommended to download it to your device first for easier searching and saving.
- Open the downloaded PDF in any reader application (e.g., Adobe Reader, your browser’s PDF viewer). Use the search function (Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac) to open the search box.
- Search for your application number, NEET PG roll number, or your full name (ensure exact spelling). If your initial search yields no results, try minor variations in spelling or format.
- Once you locate your entry, carefully verify the following details: application number, NEET PG roll number, rank, category (GEN/SC/ST/OBC/EWS), and any specific remarks (e.g., defective/ineligible). Make sure to note the page number and consider taking a screenshot or saving that specific PDF page for your records.
- Repeat this process for the Category List PDF to confirm your category rank and reservation details.
- If your name does not appear on the list:
- Check for a “defective applications list” on the portal (if available) to see if your application was flagged.
- Log in to your Candidate Portal (if required) to review your application status and any specific messages or notifications.
- If your application is marked as defective or ineligible, promptly follow the instructions provided on the portal. Upload all missing or corrected documents before the stated deadline. Always retain copies of every document you submit.
- Should you encounter issues such as the PDF not opening or slow portal performance, try using a different browser, clearing your browser’s cache, or using an incognito/private browsing window.
- If you still face problems, locate the helpline or contact details on the CEE website and reach out via phone or email. Have your application number and NEET roll number readily available when contacting support.
Quick Tips: Always save local copies of any downloaded lists, print or screenshot your entry for your personal records, and act swiftly if your application is flagged as defective, as deadlines are strictly enforced.
