The Jammu & Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) has published the seat matrix for the Third/Mop-Up Round of NEET-UG counselling for MBBS and BDS courses in 2026. This document shows how many seats are available in each medical college, broken down by category and quota. The seat matrix is the foundation for the counselling process — it tells you exactly where seats exist and which ones you may be eligible to fill based on your rank and category. You must review this matrix before registering for the Third/Mop-Up Round to understand your options.
The JKBOPEE seat matrix for MBBS/BDS Third/Mop-Up Round counselling is now live; check it immediately to see available seats at each college by category.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the Seat Matrix?
The seat matrix is an official table that lists every medical college in Jammu & Kashmir and shows exactly how many MBBS and BDS seats are available in the Third/Mop-Up Round of counselling. Each seat is categorized by the quota it belongs to (for example, General, Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe, Other Backward Class, or state-specific quotas) and by the type of admission (merit-based or management quota, if applicable).
This matrix is published AFTER previous rounds of counselling are complete. Seats shown here are those that remain unfilled after the First and Second Rounds — either because no eligible candidate accepted them, or because candidates who were allotted seats did not report to college. The Third/Mop-Up Round gives remaining candidates a final chance to secure a seat.
Why You Must Check the Seat Matrix Now
Before you register for the Third/Mop-Up Round, you need to know which colleges have seats available in your category. If a college shows zero seats in your category, you cannot be allotted there — no matter how high your rank is. Checking the matrix first saves you time and helps you make realistic choices during registration.
The matrix also helps you understand the competition. If a college has only one seat in your category, the allotment will be highly competitive. If multiple colleges have seats in your category, you have more options. This information is crucial for planning your counselling strategy.

Understanding Your Eligibility Against the Seat Matrix
Your eligibility to be allotted a seat depends on three things: your NEET-UG rank, your category (General, SC, ST, OBC, etc.), and the seats available in that category at each college. Even if you have a high rank, you can only be allotted a seat in a category where seats are shown in the matrix. If your category has zero seats at a college, you cannot be allotted there.
For example, if you are an OBC candidate and the seat matrix shows that a particular college has 2 OBC seats available, you are eligible to compete for one of those 2 seats if your rank falls within the expected cutoff for that college and category. If the same college shows 0 OBC seats, you cannot apply for that college in this round, even if it has General seats available (unless you are also eligible for General category, which is rare).

What Happens After You Review the Seat Matrix?
After reviewing the seat matrix, you will use this information to fill your choice form during the Third/Mop-Up Round registration. You will list colleges and courses in order of your preference, choosing only from colleges that have seats available in your category. The counselling system will then match your rank and preferences against the available seats and allot you a seat if you are eligible.
The seat matrix is static — it does not change during the counselling process. However, the allotment result will show which specific seat you have been allotted, based on your rank and choices.
Important Notes on the Third/Mop-Up Round
The Third/Mop-Up Round is the final round of counselling for NEET-UG 2026 in Jammu & Kashmir. Seats available in this round are those that remain after the First and Second Rounds. This is your last opportunity to secure a seat in a government or private medical college in J&K for this admission year.
Candidates who did not get a seat in earlier rounds, or who did not report to their allotted college, are eligible to participate in the Third/Mop-Up Round. Check the official counselling schedule and registration dates carefully — missing the registration deadline means you cannot participate in this round.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Do not assume a college has seats in your category just because it is a well-known college. Always check the seat matrix first. Many candidates waste their choices on colleges that have no seats in their category, reducing their chances of getting allotted.
Do not ignore the breakdown by category. A college may show 50 total MBBS seats, but if only 2 of those are in your category, your competition is much higher. Read the matrix carefully to understand the exact number of seats available to you.
Do not delay downloading and reviewing the seat matrix. The Third/Mop-Up Round registration window is typically short. If you wait until the last day to check the matrix, you may not have enough time to make informed choices.
