The select list includes 115 boys (BM-1 to BM-115) and 30 girls (GM-1 to GM-30) who have been shortlisted for immediate admission. The reserve list includes additional candidates (BR-1 to BR-213 for boys, GR-1 to GR-64 for girls) who will be offered seats only if select list candidates do not report or forfeit their seats.

The select list contains 145 candidates total: 115 boys (ranked BM-1 through BM-115) and 30 girls (ranked GM-1 through GM-30). These candidates have been selected based on their NEET UG 2026 performance and are eligible for immediate admission to AFMC's MBBS programme.
The reserve list contains 277 candidates total: 213 boys (ranked BR-1 through BR-213) and 64 girls (ranked GR-1 through GR-64). Reserve list candidates will be offered admission only if seats become available due to select list candidates not reporting, failing to meet eligibility criteria, or forfeiting their seats.
Your position on the list is determined by your NEET UG rank. The notice provides your merit rank (e.g., BM-5, GM-12) and your corresponding NEET UG roll number. You can verify your selection by searching for your NEET roll number in the tables provided.

If you are on the select list but do not report to AFMC by 12:00 noon on 8 September 2026, your seat will be automatically forfeited. This is a strict deadline — there are no extensions or exceptions mentioned in the notice.
Once your seat is forfeited, it will be offered to the next candidate on the reserve list in order of merit. For example, if BM-50 does not report, the seat goes to BR-1 (the first boy on the reserve list). If BR-1 also does not report or is ineligible, it goes to BR-2, and so on.
The notice explicitly states: 'In case of non-reporting, the seats would be automatically offered to reserve list candidates.' This means you cannot claim your seat later or request a second chance. Plan your travel and documentation well in advance to ensure you can report on time.
Eligibility criteria and admission conditions
Admission to AFMC is conditional on fulfilling all eligibility criteria as applicable. The notice does not detail the specific eligibility requirements in this document, but they typically include: Indian citizenship, age limits, educational qualifications (12th pass with Physics, Chemistry, Biology), NEET UG qualification, and medical fitness.
The notice states: 'Admission to the college will be subject to fulfilling all eligibility criteria, as applicable.' This means even if your name is on the select list, your admission can be cancelled if you do not meet the eligibility requirements when verified at the time of reporting.
You are advised to carefully review the joining instructions available on the AFMC website (www.afmc.nic.in) to understand all eligibility criteria, required documents, and any other conditions before reporting. Failure to meet any criterion could result in rejection of your admission.
Documents and joining instructions
The notice mentions that joining instructions are available on the AFMC website and advises all candidates to read them carefully. The joining instructions will contain the complete list of documents you must bring when you report to the Admission Cell.
Typically, documents required for AFMC admission include: NEET UG admit card and score card, 10th and 12th mark sheets and certificates, medical fitness certificate, character certificate, caste certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, and passport-sized photographs. However, you must verify the exact list from the official joining instructions.
The notice emphasizes: 'Candidates are advised to go through the joining Instructions available on the website carefully.' Do not assume what documents are needed — check the official instructions to avoid rejection at the time of reporting.
Reserve list candidates: When and how you may be called
If you are on the reserve list, your admission depends on vacancies created by select list candidates not reporting, failing eligibility checks, or forfeiting their seats. The notice states: 'Admission of reserve list candidates is subject to availability of vacancies.'
Reserve list candidates should monitor the AFMC website regularly for updates on vacancy status. The notice advises: 'Keep visiting the website www.afmc.nic.in regularly for updates and status of vacancies.' If seats become available, reserve list candidates will be called in order of their merit rank (BR-1, then BR-2, etc., for boys; GR-1, then GR-2, etc., for girls).
There is no guarantee that reserve list candidates will be offered admission. Admission is only possible if sufficient vacancies arise. Do not make firm travel or financial commitments based on being on the reserve list alone.
How to verify your name on the merit or reserve list
The notice provides complete tables of all selected candidates, organized by merit rank (BM-1 to BM-115 for boys, GM-1 to GM-30 for girls) and reserve rank (BR-1 to BR-213 for boys, GR-1 to GR-64 for girls). Each entry shows the candidate's merit/reserve rank and their NEET UG roll number.
To find your name, search for your NEET UG roll number in the tables. For example, if your NEET roll number is 3115308435, you will find it listed as BM-1 (the first boy on the select list). If your roll number appears in the BR or GR tables, you are on the reserve list.
If you cannot find your NEET roll number in any of the tables, it means you have not been selected for admission to AFMC in this round. You may be eligible for other medical colleges through state or national counselling.

Your seat will be automatically forfeited if you miss it. Plan your travel well in advance and arrive at least a day early to avoid any last-minute delays.
