The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) ran an online application process to prepare a merit list based on the NEET (UG)-2026 result for admission to the M.B.B.S. course under All India and NRI quota seats on 13/08/2026 in four institutions: Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College Hospital (Bisrampur, Palamu), Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital (Adityapur, Seraikela-Kharsawan), Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital (Dumka), and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (Khunti). This is separate from state-quota admissions and separate from the general JCECE engineering/pharmacy entrance exam (see the FAQ section below for that distinction).
