Kerala NEET PG Merit List 2026 Out: Check Your Rank Before the Oct 29 Complaint Deadline

The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala has released the provisional state merit list for Kerala NEET PG 2026, and the clock is now ticking on corrections. The list came out on October 26, 2026 for admission to postgraduate medical degree courses under the state quota. If your name is on it, check every detail now. Candidates have time only till 11:30 am on October 29, 2026 to raise a genuine complaint about their rank or category.

This list decides who moves ahead in Kerala’s state counselling for MD and MS seats. A small error in your category, rank, or personal details can change which seats you can claim later. That is why CEE Kerala has kept a short complaint window open before the process moves to seat allotment. Do not leave this check for the last hour. The portal gets busy, and an email sent after the deadline may not be considered.

How to check your Kerala NEET PG merit list

Start on the official portal. Type the address yourself instead of tapping a link forwarded in a group chat, since fake merit list PDFs do a round every counselling season.

• Open the official CEE Kerala PG medical portal and go to the candidate portal
• Look for the rank list and category list options for Kerala NEET PG 2026
• Download the provisional state merit list PDF and the category-wise list
• Search the PDF for your application number or name
• Note your state rank, category, and whether anything shows as withheld

Save both PDFs on your phone and your computer. You will need your rank details again when option registration opens, and the category list matters because seat claims depend on the category CEE Kerala has recorded for you.

For the wider picture on postgraduate medical counselling this week, candidates can also track the NEET PG Round 1 final allotment result, where reporting to allotted colleges runs till November 2. The full set of declared scores and hall tickets sits on the results section.

The Oct 29 deadline: what counts as a genuine complaint

CEE Kerala has asked candidates with genuine complaints about the state rank list or the category list to email [email protected] before 11:30 am on October 29, 2026. Your email must carry your application number and your name, so the office can find your record fast.

A genuine complaint is a factual error in the published list. Your category recorded wrong, your rank missing, or a detail that does not match the documents you uploaded all fall in this group. Write one clear line about what is wrong, one line about what it should be, and attach or mention the document that proves it. Long emails with no proof slow the process down for everyone, including you.

“A provisional list is a chance to fix mistakes before seats are allotted. Once allotment starts, an uncorrected rank is much harder to repair.”

Candidates whose rank or category shows as withheld face a separate task. They must correct the document defect through their candidate profile before the same 11:30 am deadline on October 29. The list does not fix itself, and waiting for the next round will not clear a withheld entry.

How Kerala NEET PG 2026 reached this stage

Applications for Kerala PG medical admissions opened on October 12, 2026. The extended application deadline closed at 10 am on October 24, and the window to fix profile defects ran till 1 pm on October 26. The provisional state merit list and the category list followed on October 26.

That tight sequence explains the short complaint window. CEE Kerala needs a clean list before counselling rounds begin, and every correction round pushes allotment back. Candidates who applied early and checked their profiles during the verification window are in the best shape now. If you skipped that check, the October 29 deadline is your last easy chance to set the record straight.

Students tracking the October 31 exam can also read the FMGE October 2026 admit card update, since that exam runs just two days after the Kerala complaint deadline closes.

Keep these documents ready for admission

The merit list is only one step. When a seat is allotted, colleges ask for original documents at admission. The published guidance lists the NBEMS admit card, the allotment memo from CEE Kerala, proof of date of birth, the MBBS degree certificate, and the permanent registration certificate from the medical council. Service candidates and those who studied outside Kerala may need extra papers, such as a relieving order or an eligibility certificate.

Pull these papers out now and check that names and dates match across them. A mismatch between your degree certificate and your application can hold up admission even after a seat is allotted. Photocopies help for your own records, but colleges verify originals at the counter.

Check the list today, send your complaint before 11:30 am on October 29 if something is wrong, and keep checking the official CEE Kerala website for the next counselling notice. The merit list is out. What you do with the next two days decides whether it works for you or against you.
