If you are targeting NEET PG colleges in Jharkhand for the 2026 season, here is the short version. State-quota admission to MD, MS and PG-Diploma seats is run by JCECEB — the Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board — through its official portal jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in, while roughly half of every government college's PG seats are filled through the MCC All India Quota. This guide walks through every Jharkhand PG medical college, how counselling and the state quota actually work, indicative fees and cut-offs, and how to turn your NEET-PG rank into an exact, personalised college list instead of a guess.
The MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor turns your rank and category into a personalised list of MD/MS/DNB colleges and specialities across MCC All India Quota AND every state — each entry showing round-wise closing ranks, annual fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability score. Accurate, no guesswork.
Which PG medical colleges are in Jharkhand?
Jharkhand's postgraduate medical seats are concentrated in a small group of respected government and central institutions, supported by a growing set of DNB and DrNB seats in NBEMS-accredited hospitals. The MD/MS/Diploma pool is led by RIMS Ranchi, with MGM Jamshedpur and SNMMC Dhanbad adding significant capacity, while AIIMS Deoghar and the Central Institute of Psychiatry contribute central-institute seats. Here are the names every Jharkhand PG aspirant should know.
- RIMS Ranchi (Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences) — the state's largest and most sought-after MD/MS/Diploma centre.
- MGM Medical College (MGMMC), Jamshedpur — MD, MS and Diploma seats across major clinical branches.
- Shahid Nirmal Mahato Medical College (SNMMC), Dhanbad — formerly PMCH Dhanbad; offers MD/MS/Diploma.
- AIIMS Deoghar — central institute whose MD/MS seats are filled through central/All India Quota counselling.
- Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP), Ranchi — a central institute renowned nationally for MD Psychiatry.
- DNB & DrNB in NBEMS hospitals — Tata Main Hospital (TMH) Jamshedpur, Sadar Hospital Ranchi, Asarfi Hospital and Kashyap Memorial Eye Hospital, among others.
- Manipal-Tata Medical College, Jamshedpur — a private college (MBBS established; PG offerings emerging).
- Newer government medical colleges (e.g. Dumka, Hazaribagh, Palamu, Koderma) — expanding steadily, with PG still limited or emerging.
| College type | Examples in Jharkhand | PG courses | Indicative annual fee band* |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government / state (JCECEB + MCC AIQ) | RIMS Ranchi, MGM Jamshedpur, SNMMC Dhanbad | MD, MS, PG-Diploma | Nominal — among India's lowest |

| DNB / DrNB in NBEMS hospitals | TMH Jamshedpur, Sadar Hospital Ranchi, Asarfi, Kashyap Memorial | DNB, DrNB, DNB-Diploma | Low to moderate; hospital-set |
| Private / deemed & management quota | Manipal-Tata Jamshedpur (PG emerging) | MD, MS (limited) | Higher — several lakhs per year |

See my Jharkhand college listWho runs Jharkhand NEET-PG counselling?
Jharkhand NEET PG counselling for the state quota is conducted by JCECEB at jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in — note that this is the correct PG authority and portal, which you should confirm directly rather than assuming it matches the UG process. The other half of government seats runs through the MCC All India Quota (mcc.nic.in). Counselling proceeds over multiple rounds — typically Round 1, Round 2, a mop-up/Round 3 and a final stray-vacancy round — so seats keep opening up right to the end.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| State-quota authority | JCECEB — Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board |
| Official state portal | jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in |
| All India Quota authority | MCC — Medical Counselling Committee (mcc.nic.in) |
| Quota split (govt seats) | ~50% All India Quota (MCC) + ~50% state quota (JCECEB) — indicative |
| State-quota reservation | Majority reserved for Jharkhand domicile; ST/SC/OBC/EWS + prominent tribal reservation |
| Rounds | Round 1, Round 2, mop-up/Round 3 and stray-vacancy — indicative |
Your rank closes at a different number in every round and category. Check the round-wise closing rank for your exact rank before you fill a single choice.
How does the Jharkhand state quota work?
The Jharkhand state quota is powerful for local candidates because a large majority of state-quota seats (around 85%) are reserved for those with a valid Jharkhand domicile, and the tribal (ST) reservation here is more generous than in most states. To claim these seats you must clear document verification with the right certificates in JCECEB's prescribed format. Miss a document or the internship deadline and even a strong rank cannot be converted.
- Valid Jharkhand domicile certificate from the competent authority (mandatory for the ~85% domicile seats).
- NEET-PG 2026 score at or above the qualifying cut-off (see below).
- Internship completed on or before the JCECEB-notified cut-off date.
- Category certificate (ST/SC/OBC/EWS) in the Jharkhand-prescribed format, if claiming reservation.
- PwBD certificate from a notified disability-assessment centre, if applicable.
AIQ vs Jharkhand state quota: which should you choose?
You do not have to pick one. Most smart candidates run both the MCC All India Quota and the Jharkhand state quota in parallel, because a seat you would never reach in one can be within range in the other. The All India Quota opens colleges across the whole country; the Jharkhand state quota leans on your domicile and tribal/category advantage at home. The only way to know which path gives you the better seat is to model your rank against both.
| Factor | All India Quota (AIQ) | Jharkhand State Quota |
|---|---|---|
| Conducted by | MCC (mcc.nic.in) | JCECEB (jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in) |
| Eligibility | Any Indian NEET-PG qualifier | Mainly Jharkhand domicile holders |
| Share of govt seats | ~50% (indicative) | ~50% (indicative) |
| Colleges covered | Govt + central + participating deemed, all-India | Jharkhand govt/state colleges + participating DNB |
| Reservation | Central (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD) | Jharkhand state categories incl. prominent tribal quota |

What are the NEET-PG 2026 cut-offs and closing ranks?
The NEET-PG 2026 result was declared by NBEMS on 24 September 2026. The qualifying cut-offs, out of 720, are 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC including PwBD. Read that carefully: qualifying only makes you eligible to enter counselling — it is not the score that wins a Jharkhand seat. Admission turns on your All-India Rank versus each college-and-branch's closing rank, which sits far above the qualifying bar and shifts every round, category and quota.
Clearing 262 / 244 / 226 gets you into the room. Whether you actually land MD General Medicine at RIMS Ranchi or DNB Paediatrics in Jamshedpur depends on your rank against that specific seat's closing rank — which moves by branch, category, quota and round. Check yours against real, round-wise closing ranks rather than a single last-year number.
Every kind of seat, one rank
Enter your rank and category once and see, seat by seat, which Jharkhand branches close above you and which are within reach — with a clear admit-probability score.
What are the fees and stipend in Jharkhand?
Cost is Jharkhand's quiet advantage. Government and state MD/MS/Diploma seats at RIMS, MGM and SNMMC carry nominal government fees — among the lowest anywhere in India — and residents draw a monthly stipend during training. DNB seats in NBEMS hospitals and any private or management-quota seats cost more, running into lakhs per year, and may carry a service bond. Because Jharkhand PG fees, stipend and bond terms vary by college, quota and branch and are revised year to year, treat every figure you read online — including in this guide — as indicative and confirm the exact numbers before you lock a choice.

See fees & stipendHow competitive are Jharkhand government seats?
Jharkhand has a limited number of MD/MS seats concentrated in a handful of institutions, so clinical and lifestyle branches — Radiodiagnosis, Dermatology, General Medicine, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology — close at sharply better ranks than pre- and para-clinical branches such as Anatomy, Biochemistry or Community Medicine. The 85% domicile reservation strongly favours Jharkhand candidates, and the tribal reservation is more generous than in most states. Your realistic chances hinge on the exact interplay of your rank, category, domicile status and quota — which is precisely what the predictor models for you.

Check my govt-seat chancesHow to get a Jharkhand PG seat: step-by-step
- Confirm eligibility: NEET-PG 2026 qualified and internship completed (or completing) by the JCECEB deadline.
- Decide your quota path: register for MCC All India Quota (mcc.nic.in) and/or Jharkhand state quota (jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in) — most candidates pursue both.
- Register and pay the counselling fee on the relevant portal the moment the window opens.
- Fill choices in strict preference order — put your dream college-and-branch combination first.
- Lock your choices, attend seat allotment, then report for document verification with domicile, category and internship proofs.
- Track upgrade, mop-up and stray-vacancy rounds closely — strong seats often open up late.
- Do run your rank through the predictor before choice-filling so your list is realistic, not hopeful.
- Do keep Jharkhand domicile, category and internship certificates ready in the exact JCECEB format.
- Do fill a long, well-ordered choice list — never just three or four dream seats.
- Don't rely on a single last-year closing rank; ranks move every round and category.
- Don't skip the All India Quota assuming state quota is enough — you may leave a better seat on the table.
- Don't miss reporting or upgrade deadlines; one missed window can cost you the seat.

Build my personalised listFrequently asked questions
Which authority conducts Jharkhand NEET PG counselling in 2026?
The Jharkhand state-quota NEET PG counselling is conducted by JCECEB (Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board) through jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in. The remaining All India Quota seats are handled by MCC at mcc.nic.in. Always confirm the current schedule on the official portals.
How many PG medical colleges and seats are there in Jharkhand?
MD/MS/Diploma seats are concentrated in a handful of institutions led by RIMS Ranchi, MGM Jamshedpur and SNMMC Dhanbad, with central seats at AIIMS Deoghar and CIP Ranchi, plus DNB seats in NBEMS hospitals. Exact, current seat counts by college and branch are shown on the NEET-PG College Predictor.
What is the Jharkhand NEET PG cut-off for 2026?
The NBEMS qualifying cut-offs out of 720 are 262 (General/EWS), 244 (General-PwBD) and 226 (SC/ST/OBC incl. PwBD). These only make you eligible for counselling — the closing rank needed for an actual Jharkhand seat is far higher and varies by branch, category, quota and round. Check yours on the predictor.
Do I need a Jharkhand domicile for the state quota?
Yes. The large majority of Jharkhand state-quota PG seats (about 85%) are reserved for candidates with a valid Jharkhand domicile certificate. Without it you are effectively competing only through the All India Quota.
What is the difference between AIQ and Jharkhand state quota?
The All India Quota (MCC) is open to any Indian NEET-PG qualifier and covers colleges nationwide; the Jharkhand state quota (JCECEB) leans on your domicile and state category advantage at home. Most candidates apply to both to maximise their options.
Are there private or deemed MD/MS colleges in Jharkhand?
Private MD/MS capacity in Jharkhand is limited today; Manipal-Tata Medical College in Jamshedpur is an established private college with emerging PG offerings, and much of the private-sector PG training runs as DNB in NBEMS hospitals. Confirm current private and management-quota options and fees before applying.
What DNB options are available in Jharkhand?
NBEMS-accredited hospitals such as Tata Main Hospital (TMH) Jamshedpur, Sadar Hospital Ranchi, Asarfi Hospital and Kashyap Memorial Eye Hospital offer DNB/DrNB seats across various specialities. DNB is a strong route when government MD/MS seats are out of rank range.
What are the fees for Jharkhand government PG seats?
Government and state MD/MS/Diploma fees at RIMS, MGM and SNMMC are nominal — among the lowest in India. DNB and any private/management-quota seats cost more. Treat online figures as indicative and verify exact per-college fees on the predictor before deciding.
Is there a stipend for PG residents in Jharkhand?
Yes, PG residents in government and most training institutions receive a monthly stipend during their course. The exact amount is set by the college/state and revised periodically, so confirm the current figure for your specific institution.
How many rounds are there in Jharkhand NEET PG counselling?
JCECEB typically runs multiple rounds — Round 1, Round 2, a mop-up/Round 3 and a stray-vacancy round — to fill seats left after upgrades and withdrawals. Seats frequently open up in later rounds, so don't stop tracking after Round 1.
Can out-of-state candidates get a Jharkhand PG seat?
Out-of-state candidates mainly compete through the All India Quota, since the bulk of Jharkhand state-quota seats need domicile. A small open share and the AIQ still make Jharkhand colleges reachable — model your rank against both to see what is realistic.
How can I know exactly which Jharkhand college and branch I'll get?
Enter your rank and category into the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor. It returns a personalised list of MD/MS/DNB colleges and specialities across MCC AIQ and Jharkhand's state quota, each with round-wise closing ranks, fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability score.
