The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has launched the official candidate portal for PG Medical 2026 admission. The portal provides access to all critical documents and results you need during the counselling process — including provisional merit lists, category lists, seat distribution, allotment results, fee structures, and stray vacancy updates. This is your single point of access to track your admission status, check your eligibility, and monitor seat availability throughout the counselling rounds. If you have applied for a postgraduate medical course (MD, MS, or DNB) in Kerala, you must register and log in to this portal to proceed with counselling.
The CEE Kerala PG Medical 2026 candidate portal is now live; log in with your application number to access merit lists, allotment results, and all counselling documents.

Unlock My College ListWhat is the CEE Kerala PG Medical 2026 Candidate Portal?
The candidate portal is the official online platform run by the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala for all postgraduate medical admission counselling in the state. It is the central hub where all merit lists, allotment results, fee information, and vacancy updates are published. Every candidate who has applied for a PG medical course (MD, MS, or DNB) in Kerala must use this portal to track their admission journey.
The portal is hosted at https://cee.kerala.gov.in/pgm2026/ and is accessible 24/7 during the counselling season. It replaces email and paper-based communication — all official announcements and results are published here first.
How to Log In to the Portal
To access the portal, you will need three pieces of information: your Application Number (issued when you registered for NEET-PG 2026), your Password (set during registration), and an Access Code (provided by CEE Kerala, usually sent via email or SMS after your application is processed).
On the login page, enter all three credentials in the fields provided and click 'LOGIN'. If you have forgotten your application number or password, the portal provides 'Forgot Application Number' and 'Forgot Password' links to help you recover them. Keep your login credentials safe and do not share them with anyone.
- Application Number: your unique registration ID from NEET-PG 2026
- Password: your personal login password set during registration
- Access Code: provided by CEE Kerala (check your email and SMS)
Documents and Lists Available on the Portal
The portal publishes all official documents needed for counselling. These include the prospectus (full admission rules and procedures), government orders and notifications (policy changes), merit lists (your rank and eligibility status), category lists (reserved seats and category-wise cutoffs), and seat distribution (how many seats are available in each college and specialty).
You will also find the defective list (applications with missing or incorrect documents), the SQ (State Quota) list, the IMSQ (Inter-State Migrant Scheme Quota) list, allotment results (which seat you have been offered), last rank information (the lowest rank admitted in each category and specialty), fee structure for self-financing seats, and a list of ineligible candidates. Stray vacancy updates are posted as seats become available after each round of counselling.

Understanding the Merit List and Category List
The Kerala State Merit List (Provisional) ranks all eligible candidates by their NEET-PG 2026 score. Your position on this list determines your turn to choose a seat during counselling. The list is marked 'Provisional' because it may be updated if defective applications are corrected or if ineligible candidates are removed.
The Category List (Provisional) shows how many seats are reserved for each category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.) and the cutoff scores for each category. This helps you understand your chances of getting a seat in your preferred specialty and college. If your name appears on the Defective List, you must correct your application documents immediately — failure to do so may result in your removal from the merit list.

Allotment Results and Seat Allocation
Once counselling rounds are held, the Allotment List is published on the portal. This list shows which seat (college, specialty, and quota) has been offered to each candidate based on their merit rank and choices. The 'Last Rank' document shows the lowest rank that was admitted in each category and specialty — this helps you gauge your chances in future rounds or stray vacancy filling.
If you are offered a seat, you must report to the college and complete admission formalities (fee payment, document verification, hostel registration) by the deadline specified in the allotment letter. If you do not report, your seat will be cancelled and offered to the next candidate. The portal will also publish a list of candidates eligible for refund if they withdraw or do not join.
- Check the Allotment List to see your offered seat
- Note the college, specialty, and quota type
- Report to the college by the deadline to confirm your seat
- Non-reporting results in seat cancellation
Stray Vacancy Filling and Additional Rounds
After the main allotment rounds, seats that remain vacant (because candidates did not report or withdrew) are filled through stray vacancy rounds. The portal publishes 'Stray Vacancy Filling' updates showing which seats are available in each college and specialty. If you did not get a seat in the main rounds, or if you want to upgrade to a better college or specialty, you can participate in stray vacancy counselling.
Stray vacancy rounds typically have shorter registration and choice-filling windows. Check the portal regularly for updates on stray vacancy dates and the list of available seats. The 'Vacancy List' document shows all seats available for stray vacancy filling.
- Stray vacancy seats are filled after main allotment rounds
- Check the portal for stray vacancy dates and available seats
- Participate if you did not get a seat or want to upgrade
- Stray vacancy rounds have shorter deadlines — act quickly
Fee Structure and Payment
The portal publishes the Fee Structure (Self Financing) document, which lists the tuition fees, hostel fees, and other charges for each college and specialty. Self-financing seats are seats beyond the government quota and are offered at higher fees. Government seats (funded by the state) have lower fees. Make sure you understand the total cost before accepting a seat.
When you report to the college after allotment, you will be asked to pay the fees. The portal may also provide information on fee payment deadlines and methods (online, bank transfer, or in-person). Do not delay fee payment — colleges may cancel your seat if fees are not paid by the deadline.
- Check the Fee Structure document for your college and specialty
- Self-financing seats have higher fees than government seats
- Pay fees by the deadline specified by the college
- Late payment may result in seat cancellation
Ineligible Candidates and Defective Applications
The portal publishes an 'Ineligible Candidates' list showing candidates whose applications do not meet the eligibility criteria (e.g., MBBS degree not recognized, NEET-PG score below cutoff, or other disqualifying factors). If your name appears on this list, you cannot participate in counselling. You may appeal to CEE Kerala if you believe the decision is incorrect.
The 'Defective List' shows candidates whose applications have missing or incorrect documents (e.g., missing caste certificate, incorrect date of birth, or incomplete qualification details). If your name is on the Defective List, you must correct your application immediately by uploading the correct documents or providing clarification. Failure to correct defects before the deadline will result in your removal from the merit list.

MCC Seats and Admitted Candidates List
Some seats in Kerala medical colleges are filled by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), which conducts national-level counselling for candidates from outside Kerala or for specific quotas. The portal publishes an 'Admitted Candidates List of MCC' showing candidates who have been admitted to Kerala colleges through MCC counselling. If you applied through MCC, check this list to see if you have been admitted.
MCC seats are typically filled after state-level counselling is complete. If you are eligible for both state and MCC counselling, you may participate in both — but you can accept only one seat. Inform CEE Kerala if you accept a seat elsewhere so your state seat can be offered to the next candidate.
- MCC seats are filled through national-level counselling
- Check the MCC Admitted Candidates list if you applied through MCC
- You can accept only one seat (state or MCC)
- Inform CEE Kerala if you accept a seat elsewhere
Important Dates and Deadlines
The portal does not display a single master schedule on the login page shown here, but all dates are published in the Prospectus and Notifications sections. These include registration opening and closing dates, choice-filling windows, allotment dates, reporting deadlines, and stray vacancy dates. Check the Prospectus and Notifications regularly for the exact schedule.
Missing a deadline can result in loss of your seat or exclusion from a round. Set reminders on your phone or calendar for all key dates. If you are unsure about a date, contact CEE Kerala directly or check the portal's 'Contact Us' section for phone numbers and email addresses.

How do I access the CEE Kerala PG Medical 2026 candidate portal?
Visit https://cee.kerala.gov.in/pgm2026/ and click on the Candidate Login section. Enter your Application Number, Password, and Access Code. If you do not have these credentials, check your email and SMS from CEE Kerala. If you have forgotten them, use the 'Forgot Application Number' or 'Forgot Password' links on the login page.
What should I do if my name appears on the Defective List?
The Defective List shows applications with missing or incorrect documents. You must correct your application immediately by uploading the correct documents or providing clarification through the portal. The deadline to correct defects is usually specified in the Notifications section. If you do not correct defects before the deadline, you will be removed from the merit list and cannot participate in counselling.
What does 'Provisional' mean on the Merit List and Category List?
'Provisional' means the list may change as applications are verified and defective applications are corrected or rejected. Once all applications are finalized and ineligible candidates are removed, the list will be marked 'Final'. Check the portal regularly for updates.
How do I know if I am eligible for counselling?
Check the Ineligible Candidates list on the portal. If your name does not appear on that list, you are eligible. Also check the Defective List — if your name is there, correct your application to remain eligible. If you believe you have been wrongly marked ineligible, you can appeal to CEE Kerala with supporting documents.
What is the difference between the Merit List and the Category List?
The Merit List ranks all eligible candidates by their NEET-PG score and determines your turn to choose a seat. The Category List shows how many seats are reserved for each category (General, OBC, SC, ST, etc.) and the cutoff scores for each category. Both lists help you understand your chances of getting a seat.
When will the Allotment List be published?
The Allotment List is published after each counselling round. The exact date is specified in the Prospectus and Notifications section. Check the portal regularly for updates. Once the Allotment List is published, log in and check if you have been offered a seat.
What happens if I do not report to the college after allotment?
If you do not report to the college and complete admission formalities (fee payment, document verification) by the deadline specified in the allotment letter, your seat will be cancelled. The seat will then be offered to the next candidate in the merit list. Non-reporting is treated as withdrawal.
Can I participate in stray vacancy filling if I did not get a seat in the main rounds?
Yes. Stray vacancy filling is held after the main allotment rounds to fill seats that remain vacant. Check the portal for stray vacancy dates and the list of available seats. If you are eligible, you can register and choose from available seats. Stray vacancy rounds have shorter deadlines, so act quickly.
What is the difference between government seats and self-financing seats?
Government seats are funded by the state and have lower fees. Self-financing seats are beyond the government quota and have higher fees. The Fee Structure document on the portal shows the fees for each college and specialty. When you are offered a seat, check whether it is a government or self-financing seat.
What should I do if I forget my password or application number?
Click the 'Forgot Application Number' or 'Forgot Password' link on the login page. Provide your registered email address or phone number. CEE Kerala will send your application number or a password reset link to that email or phone. If recovery fails, contact CEE Kerala's support team using the 'Contact Us' section on the portal.
