Unlock My College ListWhat is this merit list and why does it matter?
This provisional merit list is the official ranking of all candidates who applied for NEET PG 2026 counselling at Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot. It is based on each candidate's NEET PG score (the national postgraduate medical entrance exam) and determines the order in which candidates will be offered seats during the first round of counselling.
The merit list is 'provisional' because candidates have a window to file objections if they believe their details are incorrect or if there is an error in the ranking. Once objections are resolved, the list becomes final and is used for seat allocation. Your position on this list directly affects your chances of getting your preferred specialty and college in the first round.
How are candidates ranked on this list?
Candidates are ranked primarily by their NEET PG score (total marks). The candidate with the highest score appears first (rank 1), and the list descends in order of decreasing scores. The NEET PG rank shown in the list is the national rank assigned by the NEET PG authority, not the rank within BFUHS alone.
Some candidates show an 'Incentive %age' column, which indicates they have received a bonus (typically for being a PCMS—Private Colleges Medical Student—or other eligible category). The 'Total marks' column shows their final score after any incentive is added. Candidates are ranked by this total marks figure, not the raw NEET PG score alone.
- Ranking is by total marks (NEET PG score + any incentive bonus) in descending order
- National NEET PG rank is also shown for reference
- Candidates with identical total marks are listed in the order they appear in the official ranking
What information is shown for each candidate?
The merit list contains the following columns for each candidate: Serial Number (Sr. No.), Registration ID, Roll Number, Name, NEET PG marks (raw score), Incentive %age (if applicable), Total marks (final score used for ranking), NEET PG Rank (national rank), PCMS Candidate status (Yes/No), PCMS Incentive category (if applicable), Date of Joining as PCMS (if applicable), Category (General, SC, BC, EWS, or combinations), Minority Applied (if the candidate applied under a minority category such as Sikh, Christian, etc.), and University from where MBBS was passed.
- Registration ID and Roll Number: Your unique identifiers in the counselling system
- NEET PG marks: Your raw score in the national exam
- Total marks: Your final score after any incentive bonus is added
- NEET PG Rank: Your national rank assigned by the NEET PG authority
- Category: Your reserved category (General, SC, BC, EWS) or combination thereof
- Minority Applied: Religious or ethnic minority status if you applied under it
- University from where MBBS Passed: Your undergraduate medical college
Who is eligible to appear on this merit list?

Candidates are ranked within their respective categories during seat allocation, but the merit list shows all candidates in a single ranking by score.
- Must have passed MBBS from a recognized medical college
- Must have registered for NEET PG 2026 counselling at BFUHS
- Must have submitted a complete application with all required documents

Understanding the PCMS Candidate and Incentive columns
The 'PCMS Candidate' column shows 'Yes' or 'No'. PCMS stands for Private Colleges Medical Student. If you studied MBBS at a private medical college in India, you may be marked as a PCMS candidate. Some states offer an incentive (bonus marks) to PCMS candidates to encourage them to pursue postgraduate studies.
The 'Incentive %age' column shows the percentage bonus applied to your NEET PG score. For example, if your NEET PG score is 500 and you receive a 10% incentive, your total marks become 550. The 'Total marks' column is what is used for ranking. The 'DOJ as PCMS' (Date of Joining as PCMS) column shows the date you joined your private medical college, if applicable. Not all candidates have an incentive; if the column is blank, no bonus was applied.
- PCMS = Private Colleges Medical Student
- Incentive %age = bonus percentage applied to your NEET PG score
- Total marks = NEET PG score + incentive bonus (used for ranking)
- DOJ as PCMS = date you joined your private medical college (if applicable)

What does your category mean for seat allocation?
Your category (General, SC, BC, EWS) determines which pool of seats you compete for during counselling. General category candidates compete for all available seats. SC (Scheduled Caste), BC (Backward Class), and EWS (Economically Weaker Section) candidates compete for seats reserved for their respective categories. Some candidates show multiple categories (e.g., 'BC,General' or 'SC,General'), meaning they are eligible for both reserved and general seats and will be considered for whichever offers the best outcome.
If you applied under a minority status (Sikh, Christian, Muslim, etc.), this is noted in the 'Minority Applied' column. Minority status is separate from category and may affect seat allocation depending on state policies. Your position on the merit list is based on your score, but during seat allocation, you will be ranked within your category group.
- General: compete for all seats
- SC (Scheduled Caste): compete for SC-reserved seats
- BC (Backward Class): compete for BC-reserved seats
- EWS (Economically Weaker Section): compete for EWS-reserved seats
- Multiple categories (e.g., BC,General): eligible for both reserved and general seats
- Minority status: noted separately; may affect seat allocation per state policy

Common errors to check on the merit list
Before filing an objection, carefully verify the following details on the merit list: (1) Your name is spelled correctly; (2) Your registration ID and roll number match your application; (3) Your NEET PG marks are correct (check your admit card or result notification); (4) Your category is correct (General, SC, BC, EWS); (5) Your minority status (if applicable) is correctly recorded; (6) Your MBBS university is correctly listed; (7) Your NEET PG rank matches the national rank issued by the NEET PG authority.
If any of these details are incorrect, file an objection immediately. Do not assume the error will be corrected automatically. Common errors include: name misspelled, wrong category assigned, incorrect marks entered, or wrong MBBS university listed. These errors can significantly affect your seat allocation, so verify carefully.

- Registration ID and Roll Number accuracy
- NEET PG marks (compare with your admit card)

What is your NEET PG rank and how is it different from your position on this list?
Your NEET PG rank is your national rank assigned by the NEET PG authority based on your performance in the national exam. It is shown in the 'NEET PG Rank' column of the merit list. Your position on the BFUHS merit list (serial number) is different—it is your rank among candidates who applied for counselling at BFUHS Faridkot specifically.
For example, you may be rank 207 nationally (NEET PG Rank) but serial number 1 on the BFUHS merit list if you have the highest score among BFUHS applicants. Your national rank is used for comparison across all medical colleges in India, while your position on the BFUHS list determines your turn during BFUHS counselling. Both are important: your national rank affects your eligibility for all-India counselling (if applicable), while your BFUHS rank determines your priority at BFUHS.
- NEET PG Rank = national rank assigned by NEET PG authority
- Serial Number (Sr. No.) on this list = your rank among BFUHS applicants
- National rank is used for all-India counselling eligibility
- BFUHS rank determines your priority during BFUHS counselling

Some states offer an incentive (bonus marks) to PCMS candidates. The 'Incentive %age' column shows the percentage bonus applied to your NEET PG score.

Your category determines which pool of seats you compete for. General category candidates compete for all available seats.

Your national rank affects all-India counselling eligibility, while your BFUHS rank determines your priority during BFUHS counselling.

When will the first round of counselling begin?
The first round of counselling will begin after the final merit list is published (after objections are reviewed and resolved). The exact date will be announced by BFUHS.
