The Jammu & Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) has published the seat matrix for the second round of online counselling for NEET UG 2026 MBBS and BDS courses. The seat matrix shows the total number of seats available across all participating medical and dental colleges in J&K, broken down by category and quota. This is a critical document for every candidate — it tells you exactly how many seats exist in each college and category, which determines your chances of getting a seat in this round. The matrix is now live on the JKBOPEE website and you must review it before registering or locking your choices for the second round.
The J&K seat matrix for NEET UG 2026 second round counselling is now published on the JKBOPEE website — check it immediately to understand seat availability in your preferred colleges and categories.
What is the Seat Matrix?
The seat matrix is an official table that lists every medical and dental college in Jammu & Kashmir, showing exactly how many MBBS and BDS seats are available in each college for the second round of counselling. The seats are broken down by category — General, OBC, SC, ST, and other reserved categories — so you can see how many seats exist for your category specifically.
This document is not a merit list or allotment result. It is a reference tool that shows the supply of seats. It helps you understand which colleges have seats in your category, and how many candidates are competing for those seats. You must use this matrix to make informed choices about which colleges to apply to in the second round.
Why You Must Check the Seat Matrix Now
Before you register for the second round or lock your college choices, you need to know what seats are actually available. The seat matrix tells you this. If a college has zero seats in your category, applying there is pointless. If a college has many seats, your chances are better.
The matrix also helps you plan your backup options. If your first-choice college has few seats, you should identify other colleges with similar courses and more seats. This strategic planning can be the difference between getting a seat and going unallotted in this round.
Where to Find the Seat Matrix
The seat matrix is published on the official JKBOPEE website at www.jkbopee.gov.in. Go to the Notice Board section and look for the announcement titled 'Seat Matrix of NEET-UG (MBBS/BDS) Medical Courses-2026 for Second Round of Online Counselling'. The document is a downloadable PDF file.
Save this file to your device and keep it open while you prepare your college choices. You may need to refer to it multiple times as you decide which colleges to apply to.
How to Read the Seat Matrix
The seat matrix is a large table with colleges listed in rows and categories in columns. Each cell shows the number of seats available in that college for that category. For example, if the row for 'ABC Medical College' and the column for 'General' shows '10', it means 10 General category seats are available in that college in this round.
Look for your category column (General, OBC, SC, ST, or other) and scan down to find colleges where the number is greater than zero. These are the colleges where you can apply. If a cell is blank or shows zero, no seats are available in that college for your category in this round.
Seats Covered in This Matrix
The seat matrix covers MBBS and BDS courses only. It shows seats for the second round of online counselling for NEET UG 2026. This is the second round — if you were allotted a seat in the first round and accepted it, you will not participate in the second round. If you were not allotted in the first round, or if you rejected your first-round allotment, you are eligible for the second round.
The matrix includes all government and private medical and dental colleges in Jammu & Kashmir that are participating in the counselling process.
What the Seat Matrix Does NOT Tell You
The seat matrix shows only the total seats available. It does NOT show your rank, your eligibility for a particular college, or whether you will actually get a seat. It does not show cutoff marks or merit lists. It is purely a supply-side document — it tells you what is available, not whether you will get it.
To know if you are eligible for a seat, you must compare your NEET rank and category against the cutoff marks published by JKBOPEE for each college and category. The seat matrix and the cutoff list are two separate documents that you must use together.
Next Steps After Checking the Seat Matrix
Once you have reviewed the seat matrix and identified colleges where seats are available in your category, note down the names and seat counts. Then, wait for JKBOPEE to announce the registration and choice-locking dates for the second round. These dates will be published separately on the JKBOPEE website.
When registration opens, log in to the counselling portal, fill in your details, and lock your college choices in order of preference. The system will allot you a seat based on your rank, category, and the choices you have locked, subject to seat availability.

Where can I download the seat matrix for J&K NEET UG 2026 second round?
The seat matrix is available on the official JKBOPEE website (www.jkbopee.gov.in) under the Notice Board section. Look for the announcement titled 'Seat Matrix of NEET-UG (MBBS/BDS) Medical Courses-2026 for Second Round of Online Counselling' and download the PDF file.
What does the seat matrix show?
The seat matrix is a table showing the total number of MBBS and BDS seats available in each medical and dental college in J&K for the second round of counselling. Seats are listed by category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.), so you can see how many seats exist for your category in each college.
Is the seat matrix the same as the merit list or allotment result?
No. The seat matrix shows only the supply of seats — how many are available. The merit list shows your rank and eligibility. The allotment result shows which seat you have been given. These are three different documents. You need all three to understand the full picture.
If a college shows zero seats in my category in the seat matrix, can I still apply to it?
No. If the seat matrix shows zero seats in your category for a college, there are no seats available for you in that college in the second round. Applying to it will not help. Focus on colleges that show at least one seat in your category.
Does the seat matrix tell me if I will get a seat?
No. The seat matrix only shows what seats exist. Whether you get a seat depends on your NEET rank, your category, the cutoff marks for each college, and the choices you lock. You must compare the seat matrix with the cutoff list and your rank to estimate your chances.
When will the second round registration and choice-locking dates be announced?
The registration and choice-locking dates for the second round will be announced separately by JKBOPEE on their website. Check the Notice Board regularly for these dates. They are not in the seat matrix.
Can I use the seat matrix from the first round for the second round?
No. The seat matrix changes after each round because seats are filled and become unavailable. Always use the seat matrix published specifically for the round you are participating in. The second round seat matrix is the one you need now.
Does the seat matrix include seats from all colleges in J&K?
The seat matrix includes all government and private medical and dental colleges in Jammu & Kashmir that are participating in the NEET UG 2026 counselling process. If a college is not listed, it is not participating in this round.
What should I do after I check the seat matrix?
After reviewing the seat matrix, identify colleges where seats are available in your category. Note down their names and seat counts. Then wait for JKBOPEE to announce the registration and choice-locking dates for the second round. When those dates are announced, register and lock your choices in order of preference.
Is the seat matrix the same for MBBS and BDS?
The seat matrix covers both MBBS and BDS courses, but they are listed separately. MBBS seats and BDS seats are not interchangeable. Make sure you are looking at the correct course (MBBS or BDS) when you review the matrix.
Download the seat matrix from the JKBOPEE website now and review it carefully. Identify colleges where seats are available in your category and course. Save the document for reference. Watch the JKBOPEE Notice Board for the announcement of second round registration and choice-locking dates — when those dates are published, register immediately and lock your college choices based on the seat matrix and your rank.
