Jharkhand NEET Counselling – MBBS/BDS Fee Structure College-wise

Jharkhand offers MBBS and BDS courses through a limited number of government and private medical/dental colleges. The fee structure includes tuition fees, hostel charges, caution deposit, and other related costs. Since seat availability is lower compared to other states, understanding the fee structure in advance is important for NEET-qualified students. It helps in comparing options and making informed decisions during the counselling process.

Jharkhand NEET Counselling Seat Matrix (MBBS/BDS)

Jharkhand NEET Counselling Seat Matrix is the distribution of available MBBS and BDS seats across government and private medical and dental colleges in the state. This seat matrix is important for candidates participating in the counselling process, as it helps them identify the number of seats allocated for various categories, such as General, SC, ST, OBC, and EWS, among others. The seat matrix also indicates the seats reserved under different quotas, including state quota, management quota, and NRI quota.
