The medical admission process in Kerala has taken a significant step forward with the release of the NEET PG 2025 Round 1 provisional merit list and category list. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) has successfully shortlisted 5,884 candidates who are now eligible to participate in the state counseling for various postgraduate medical programs, including MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses. This crucial list details each candidate’s rank and category status, which will be instrumental in determining their chances during the upcoming seat allotment process. Additionally, a small number of applications have been identified with missing or incorrect documents, and these candidates are urged to rectify their submissions promptly by the specified deadline. All aspiring medical students are strongly advised to meticulously review the published lists and stay informed about the subsequent phases of the admission schedule.
Addressing Ineligible Applications and Document Requirements
Currently, 34 candidates have been deemed ineligible for the first round due to incomplete or improper document submissions. These applicants have been granted a final opportunity to correct any deficiencies by uploading all necessary documents before 12 PM on November 4, 2025. Failure to meet this deadline could result in their removal from Round 1 eligibility. This follows an earlier announcement where the CEE had identified 967 defective applications, directing those candidates to complete their documentation by October 27, 2025.
Step-by-Step Guide to Check Your Kerala NEET PG 2025 Provisional Merit List
Candidates can easily check their merit status online by following these steps:
- Open your web browser and navigate to the official CEE Kerala website.
- On the homepage, locate and click on the section labeled “PG Admission” or “PG Medical 2025 — Candidate Portal.”
- Within the PG Admission/Candidate Portal, look for links such as “Provisional Merit List,” “Category List,” or “NEET PG 2025 Round 1.” Click on the relevant PDF link.
- The list will open as a PDF document. It is recommended to download it to your device first so you can easily search and save it.
- Open the downloaded PDF in any compatible reader (like Adobe Reader or your browser’s built-in 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 alternative spellings or formats (e.g., initials, surname-first).
- Once your entry is found, carefully verify the following details: application number, NEET PG roll number, overall rank, category (GEN/SC/ST/OBC/EWS), and any remarks (e.g., defective/ineligible). It’s advisable to note the page number and take a screenshot or save that specific page of the PDF for your records.
- Repeat this process for the Category List PDF to confirm your category rank and any applicable reservation details.
- If your name is not listed: Check the defective applications list on the portal (if available) to see if your application was flagged. You may also log in to your Candidate Portal (if required) to view your application status and any specific messages.
- If you are marked as defective or ineligible: Immediately follow the instructions provided on the portal to upload any missing documents before the stated deadline. Remember to keep copies of all uploaded files.
- If you encounter issues opening the PDF or if the portal is slow, try using a different web browser, clearing your browser’s cache, or opening a private/incognito window.
- Should problems persist, note down the helpline/contact details provided on the CEE website and reach out via phone or email. Have your application number and NEET roll number readily available when you contact them.
Quick tips: Always save a local copy of any downloaded lists, print or screenshot your entry for your personal records, and act swiftly if your application is flagged as defective – deadlines are strictly enforced.
