Declared an Institute of National Importance by an Act of Parliament in 2008 and operating under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, JIPMER runs two campuses — a main campus at Puducherry and a second campus at Karaikal — offering MBBS, postgraduate medical, and postdoctoral programs.
JIPMER conducts its own institute-level counselling for Post Doctoral Fellowship (PDF) and Post Doctoral Certificate Course (PDCC) programs across multiple clinical specialties. The selection process is built around a discipline-wise entrance examination administered by JIPMER. After the exam, the institute publishes a discipline-wise merit list. Students who appear on the merit list are called for document verification and seat allotment at JIPMER Puducherry. No separate online choice-filling round is held — students apply for a specific discipline at the time of application itself.
For MBBS admissions, all seats at both JIPMER campuses are filled through MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) NEET UG counselling at mcc.nic.in. JIPMER discontinued its independent MBBS entrance examination in 2019 and joined the NEET framework, making MCC the sole gateway for MBBS seats. Students compete for seats under the All India Quota (AIQ) and a dedicated UT Puducherry domicile quota, both operated within the MCC counselling rounds.
For postgraduate MD/MS/DM/MCh admissions, JIPMER participates in INI-CET (Institute of National Importance Combined Entrance Test) counselling coordinated by AIIMS New Delhi. INI-CET rank holders are counselled centrally for seats across JIPMER, all AIIMS institutes, PGI Chandigarh, and NIMHANS.
The July 2026 PDF and PDCC session — the immediate focus of this page update — is scheduled to commence on July 1, 2026. The merit list and document verification are expected in the final week of June 2026. All joining formalities must be completed at JIPMER Puducherry before course commencement.
Registering for counselling is mandatory — your exam rank or merit position alone does not guarantee a seat at JIPMER.

JIPMER Counselling Eligibility Criteria 2026
Eligibility for JIPMER counselling varies by program level. Students must confirm they satisfy the criteria for their specific program before applying; each criterion below is independently verifiable from the official notification.

Reservation of Quotas for JIPMER Counselling 2026
As a centrally funded Institute of National Importance, JIPMER applies the reservation policy mandated by the Government of India across all its programs. Reservation norms govern institute-specific PDF/PDCC admissions, MCC NEET UG counselling for MBBS, and INI-CET counselling for PG seats — the same central percentages apply in each process.
| Category | Reservation Percentage | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Open / General (Unreserved) | 50.5% | Open to all students on merit; no certificate required |
| Other Backward Classes – Non-Creamy Layer (OBC-NCL) | 27% | Valid OBC-NCL certificate from a competent authority required; "creamy layer" students are not eligible |
| Scheduled Caste (SC) | 15% | Valid SC caste certificate from a competent authority required |
| Scheduled Tribe (ST) | 7.5% | Valid ST tribe certificate from a competent authority required |
| Economically Weaker Sections (EWS) | 10% | EWS income and asset certificate for the financial year 2025–26 required; issued by a competent authority |
| Persons with Disability (PwD) | 5% (horizontal) | Applied horizontally across all categories; disability certificate from a government medical authority required; minimum 40% disability benchmark |
| UT Puducherry Domicile Quota (MBBS only) | ~25% of Puducherry campus seats | Applicable within MCC NEET UG counselling only; bona fide residents of UT Puducherry; separate merit list prepared within MCC rounds |
Certificates issued after the application closing date, or issued by non-competent authorities, will not be accepted — you will forfeit your reserved category benefit and compete in the General category.
For the UT Puducherry domicile quota (JIPMER MBBS), a valid domicile certificate must establish that the student or their parents have been residents of UT Puducherry for the minimum prescribed period. This quota operates entirely within the MCC NEET UG counselling framework; JIPMER does not separately manage it. Students applying under domicile quota must still register on mcc.nic.in and follow the MCC counselling process.
For PDF and PDCC programs, the seat matrix for each discipline — showing total seats and category-wise breakup — is published in the official JIPMER notification for each session. The seat matrix for the July 2026 session is available in the notification released on April 28, 2026.
How to Apply for JIPMER Counselling 2026?
The application and counselling process differs by program level. For PDF and PDCC programs, JIPMER manages the complete process — application, entrance examination, merit list, and document verification — through its official website. For MBBS and PG programs, students must register on MCC (mcc.nic.in) and AIIMS INI-CET portals respectively. The steps below describe the PDF/PDCC institute-specific counselling process for the July 2026 session in detail.
Step 1: Check Official Notification and Confirm Eligibility
Visit jipmer.edu.in and navigate to Announcements → Entrance Examinations and Admissions. Download the official notification for the PDF and PDCC July 2026 session — released on April 28, 2026. Read the notification in full to confirm your eligibility for the specific discipline, the seat matrix by category, the application timeline, and the examination syllabus. Do not assume eligibility based on notifications from prior sessions — JIPMER may revise eligible disciplines and qualifying criteria each session. If uncertain about your eligibility, contact JIPMER’s admissions office directly before applying.
Step 2: Online Registration and Application Submission
Register on the JIPMER admission portal using a valid email address and mobile number. Fill in your personal details, educational qualifications, NMC or State Medical Council registration details, and the discipline you are applying for. Upload scanned copies of all required documents — including your degree certificates, registration certificate, and category certificate (if applicable) — in the prescribed format and file size. Review every entry carefully before submitting. Ensure all information matches your original certificates exactly — discrepancies found at document verification can lead to cancellation of your admission, regardless of merit rank.
Step 3: Payment of Application Fee
After submitting the application form, pay the application fee through the online payment gateway integrated with the JIPMER portal. The fee is non-refundable even if you do not appear in the examination or are not allotted a seat. Confirm your discipline choice and personal details before making the payment. Save the payment confirmation receipt — you will be required to produce it during document verification. The exact fee amount for the July 2026 session is published in the official notification at jipmer.edu.in.
Step 4: Download Admit Card and Attend the Entrance Examination
Download the admit card from the JIPMER admission portal after the release date. Carry both the printed admit card and a valid government-issued photo identity proof (Aadhaar, passport, or PAN card) to the examination venue. The entrance examination is conducted discipline-wise at JIPMER Puducherry. The examination format, duration, and syllabus are specified in the official notification; familiarise yourself with these well in advance. Students who do not appear in the entrance examination are not considered for the merit list, regardless of their academic credentials or prior experience. No re-examination or alternate date is offered.
Step 5: Merit List Publication, Document Verification, and Joining
JIPMER prepares a discipline-wise merit list based on entrance examination performance. Seats are allotted in merit order within each category. The merit list for the PDF and PDCC July 2026 session is expected to be published on jipmer.edu.in in the last week of June 2026 — it had not been released as of June 23, 2026. Students appearing on the merit list receive a call letter for document verification at JIPMER Puducherry. After successful verification of original documents, allotted students must complete all joining formalities — including payment of applicable fees and submission of original certificates — before July 1, 2026. Failure to report within the stipulated period forfeits the allotted seat.
How to Fill and Lock Course Preferences for JIPMER Counselling 2026
For JIPMER’s institute-specific PDF and PDCC counselling, discipline preference is fixed at the application stage — there is no separate online choice-filling window after the examination. However, for MBBS admissions through MCC NEET UG counselling, a dedicated online choice-filling and locking process is conducted at mcc.nic.in. The steps below apply to the MCC portal used for JIPMER MBBS seats.
Step 1: Register and Log In to the MCC Portal
- Visit mcc.nic.in and complete counselling registration using your NEET UG 2026 roll number, result details, and other required credentials.
- Pay the MCC counselling registration fee online to activate your account for choice filling.
Step 2: Browse Available Institutes and Fill Preferences
- Use the institute and course search on the MCC portal to locate JIPMER Puducherry and JIPMER Karaikal entries.
- Add JIPMER and other institutes to your preference list; order them from most preferred to least preferred across all programs you are eligible for.
- Fill at least 15–20 choices to maximise your chances across all MCC counselling rounds.
Step 3: Save and Review Your Preference List
- Save your preference list at regular intervals during the filling window.
- You may edit, reorder, add, or remove preferences any number of times before the locking deadline — each save overwrites the previous version.
Step 4: Lock Your Choices Before the Deadline
- Once satisfied with your preference order, click "Lock Choices" on the MCC portal before the stated locking deadline.
- Locked choices cannot be changed for that round — review carefully before locking.
- If you fail to lock your choices before the deadline, the MCC system auto-locks the last saved preference list.
Step 5: Check Allotment Result and Act Within the Deadline
- After the allotment result date, log in to the MCC portal to view your allotted institute and seat category.
- Download the allotment letter; accept, upgrade, freeze, or withdraw within the deadline — options vary by round.
| Aspect | PDF / PDCC (Institute-Specific) | MBBS via MCC NEET UG |
|---|---|---|
| Choice / discipline selection stage | Fixed at application submission; no separate choice-filling window | Online choice-filling window on mcc.nic.in after registration |
| Number of preferences | One discipline per application (check notification for multi-discipline rules) | No fixed cap; minimum 15–20 recommended |
| Edit window | Not applicable (discipline fixed at application) | Open throughout the choice-filling period; closes at locking deadline |
| Auto-lock | Not applicable | System auto-locks last saved list at the deadline if not manually locked |
| Change of discipline / institute after lock | Not permitted | Not permitted within the same round; upgrade options available in subsequent rounds |
JIPMER Counselling Documents Required 2026
Students must carry both original documents and sets of self-attested photocopies to the document verification session.

How Much Money is Needed for JIPMER Counselling 2026?
The total financial outlay for JIPMER counselling comprises non-refundable fees (processing charges paid at application or registration) and refundable deposits (collected at seat acceptance and returned on program completion or valid withdrawal). Keep both components ready before your document verification date — payment is typically required on the spot at JIPMER, and delays can result in forfeiture of the allotted seat.
Non-Refundable Fees
Non-refundable fees are paid during the application or counselling registration stage. They are not returned regardless of whether a seat is allotted, accepted, or declined.
| Program | Fee Component | Amount | Remarks |
|---|---|---|---|
| PDF and PDCC (Institute-Specific) | Application Fee — General / OBC / EWS | As per official July 2026 notification | Non-refundable; paid online at the time of application on jipmer.edu.in |
| Application Fee — SC / ST / PwD | Concessional rate as per notification (if applicable) | Non-refundable; verify category concession in the notification before paying | |
| MBBS via MCC NEET UG Counselling | MCC Registration Fee — General / OBC / EWS | Rs. 1,000 | Non-refundable; paid on mcc.nic.in at the time of counselling registration |
| MCC Registration Fee — SC / ST | Rs. 500 | Non-refundable; paid on mcc.nic.in at the time of counselling registration | |
| MD/MS/DM/MCh via INI-CET | INI-CET Counselling Registration Fee | As per AIIMS INI-CET 2026 notification | Non-refundable; paid on inicounselling.aiimsexams.edu.in |
Refundable Security Deposit
A refundable security deposit or seat acceptance fee is collected when you confirm your allotted seat. The refund amount and timeline depend on when and how you exit the admission process.
| Program | Fee Component | Amount | Refund Condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| MBBS via MCC NEET UG Counselling | Seat Acceptance Fee — General / OBC / EWS | Rs. 10,000 | Refunded if you upgrade in a subsequent round or leave before the mop-up round; forfeited on withdrawal after the stray vacancy round |
| Seat Acceptance Fee — SC / ST | Rs. 5,000 | Same conditions as General category; refund processed through MCC after joining formalities | |
| PDF and PDCC (Institute-Specific) | Security Deposit / Caution Deposit (if applicable) | As per official July 2026 notification | Refundable at the end of the program on a no-dues certificate; forfeited on mid-course abandonment without the institute’s prior approval |
Note: If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded — withdrawal after the MCC mop-up or stray vacancy round results in full forfeiture of the acceptance fee. Plan your decision carefully before accepting or declining an allotment.
JIPMER PDF and PDCC Seat Allotment 2026
For the PDF and PDCC July 2026 session, JIPMER prepares a discipline-wise merit list from entrance examination scores and allots seats in merit order within each reservation category. If seats remain vacant after the first allotment round — because allotted students decline or fail to report — JIPMER publishes a subsequent merit list for remaining vacancies, subject to the August 31, 2026 last date for admission.
| Round / Event | Description | Expected Date | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Merit List 1 (First Allotment) | Discipline-wise merit list published on jipmer.edu.in with category-wise seat allotment | Expected last week of June 2026 | Upcoming |
| Document Verification | Allotted students report to JIPMER Puducherry with original certificates for verification | Expected last week of June 2026 | Upcoming |
| Joining / Seat Acceptance | Completion of admission formalities, fee payment, and physical joining at JIPMER | On or before June 30, 2026 | Upcoming |
| Course Commencement — July 2026 Session | PDF and PDCC July 2026 session begins at JIPMER Puducherry | July 1, 2026 | Upcoming |
| Merit List 2 / Subsequent Allotment (if required) | Second allotment for any seats remaining vacant after Merit List 1; published only if vacancies exist | To be announced (if applicable) | Upcoming |
| Last Date for PDF/PDCC Admission | Absolute deadline — no admission to the July 2026 session after this date | August 31, 2026 | Upcoming |
For MBBS admissions through MCC NEET UG counselling, JIPMER seats participate in the standard four-round MCC structure: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round. JIPMER’s All India Quota seats and the UT Puducherry domicile quota seats are both managed through MCC. Allotment results for each round are published on mcc.nic.in; students must accept, upgrade, or withdraw within the deadline specified for each round.
For MD/MS/DM/MCh admissions through INI-CET counselling, AIIMS New Delhi manages centralised allotment for JIPMER’s postgraduate seats across all INI-CET counselling rounds. Results are published on inicounselling.aiimsexams.edu.in.
Freeze, Upgrade, or Withdraw After Allotment
The decision options available after seat allotment depend on whether you are participating in JIPMER’s institute-specific PDF/PDCC counselling or the centralised MCC NEET UG counselling for MBBS.
For JIPMER PDF/PDCC (Institute-Specific Counselling):
- Accept and Join: Report to JIPMER Puducherry on the specified date, complete document verification, and pay applicable fees. This confirms your admission and removes your name from subsequent waitlist consideration.
- Decline: Formally declining or simply not reporting within the deadline vacates your seat permanently. JIPMER moves to the next eligible student on the discipline-wise merit list.
- Waitlist Upgrade: Students ranked below the cut-off in the first merit list may receive an allotment in a subsequent list if a higher-ranked student declines. JIPMER communicates this via its website and the portal — monitor jipmer.edu.in regularly if you are on the waitlist.
For MCC NEET UG Counselling (JIPMER MBBS Seats):
- Freeze: Accept the currently allotted seat and end your participation in further upgrade rounds. Use this when you are satisfied with the allotted college, branch, and category — your seat is secured and the acceptance fee is retained until joining.
- Float / Upgrade: Accept the current seat but remain eligible for a better seat (based on your higher preferences) in the next round. If an upgrade is allotted, your previous seat is automatically released. Use this when you want to keep the current seat as a fallback while trying for a preferred option.
- Withdraw: Surrender the current allotment and exit MCC counselling entirely. If you withdraw after accepting a seat, the seat acceptance fee is not fully refunded — use this option only if you have a firm confirmed admission elsewhere.
| Option | Best Used When | Seat Acceptance Fee | Can You Re-enter MCC Counselling? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freeze | Satisfied with the currently allotted seat | Retained; refunded at joining after verification | No — participation in further rounds ends |
| Float / Upgrade | Want a better seat in the next round; current seat is acceptable as a fallback | Retained until you make a final decision | Yes — within the same MCC counselling cycle |
| Withdraw | Have a confirmed seat elsewhere and do not need the MCC allotment | Forfeited if withdrawn after the mop-up / stray vacancy round | No — permanent exit from the counselling cycle |
For INI-CET counselling (JIPMER PG seats), the options — freeze, upgrade, exit — are governed by the AIIMS INI-CET counselling schedule and rules published on inicounselling.aiimsexams.edu.in. The same principle applies: upgrade keeps your current seat as a fallback; freezing ends participation in further upgrade rounds.
Reporting to JIPMER After Seat Allotment
After receiving the allotment letter, students must physically report to JIPMER Puducherry’s admissions office within the deadline specified in the letter. Failure to report within the stipulated deadline forfeits your allotted seat — JIPMER will offer it to the next eligible student on the merit or waitlist without notice.
Follow this process when reporting:
- Download and print the allotment letter from jipmer.edu.in (for PDF/PDCC) or mcc.nic.in (for MBBS) — carry two copies.
- Arrange all original documents and the required number of self-attested photocopies as listed in the Documents Required section.
- Report to the designated admission counter at JIPMER Puducherry on the specified date and within the specified time window — arrive early.
- Submit original documents for scrutiny by the JIPMER admissions committee; originals will be returned after verification of the photocopies.
- Pay the applicable security deposit or caution fee at the institute’s fee counter — retain the payment receipt as proof of admission.
- Collect the joining order from the JIPMER admissions office; this document is required for hostel allocation, library registration, and department reporting.
For PDF and PDCC students joining the July 1, 2026 session, all reporting and joining formalities must be completed by June 30, 2026. Students travelling from outside Puducherry should arrange accommodation well in advance — JIPMER hostel seats are limited and allocated subject to availability and eligibility criteria set by the institute.
For MBBS students joining through MCC counselling, reporting is to JIPMER’s academic section with the original MCC allotment letter, all original documents, and the seat acceptance fee receipt. JIPMER issues a joining report after verification, which must be submitted to the hostel office and the academic section to formalise enrolment and initiate the student ID process.
For MD/MS/DM/MCh students joining through INI-CET counselling, the INI-CET allotment letter and all qualifying documents must be presented at JIPMER’s postgraduate admission counter. Contact JIPMER’s academic section in advance for department-specific reporting requirements, which may vary by specialty.
FAQs
Ques: Has the JIPMER PDF and PDCC July 2026 merit list been released?
Ans: No. As of June 23, 2026, the discipline-wise merit list for JIPMER PDF and PDCC July 2026 session has not been officially released. The merit list is expected in the last week of June 2026, ahead of the July 1, 2026 course commencement date. Monitor jipmer.edu.in/announcement/entrance-examinations-admissions regularly for the official release.
Ques: How is the merit list for JIPMER PDF and PDCC prepared?
Ans: JIPMER prepares the merit list discipline-wise, based on marks scored in the entrance examination conducted for each PDF or PDCC specialty. Within each discipline, seats are allotted in order of merit, with reservation applied for OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, and PwD categories as per central government norms. In the event of a tie between two students, a tiebreaker criterion — typically higher percentage in the qualifying degree, older age, or alphabetical order of name — is applied as specified in the official notification for that session.
Ques: Can I apply for more than one specialty in the JIPMER PDF/PDCC July 2026 session?
Ans: The rules for multi-discipline applications vary by session and are specified in the official notification. In most JIPMER PDF/PDCC sessions, students apply for one specific discipline per application. Check the July 2026 session notification at jipmer.edu.in for the exact policy. Submitting multiple applications when only one is permitted can result in cancellation of all your applications — do not assume the rule is the same as a prior session.
Ques: What is the difference between PDF and PDCC programs at JIPMER?
Ans: Both are postdoctoral programs at JIPMER Puducherry, but they differ in duration, depth, and eligibility:
- PDF (Post Doctoral Fellowship): Typically 1–2 years; designed for advanced super-specialty training beyond an MD/MS or DM/MCh, with research and clinical components. Requires a postgraduate or super-specialty degree in the relevant discipline.
- PDCC (Post Doctoral Certificate Course): Typically 6–12 months; a shorter, structured certificate program offering skill-focused training in a defined sub-specialty area. Requires an MD/MS degree in a relevant discipline.
Both carry a monthly stipend as per JIPMER’s rules for the session year. Available specialties and exact eligibility differ by session — refer to the official notification for the current list.
Ques: Is JIPMER MBBS counselling done through JIPMER’s own portal?
Ans: No. Since 2019, JIPMER discontinued its own MBBS entrance examination and joined the NEET framework. All MBBS seats at JIPMER Puducherry and JIPMER Karaikal are now filled exclusively through MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) NEET UG counselling at mcc.nic.in. Students must register, fill choices, and track allotments on the MCC portal only — JIPMER has no independent MBBS counselling portal. The institute participates in MCC rounds but does not conduct separate MBBS counselling of its own.
Ques: What is the UT Puducherry domicile quota for JIPMER MBBS, and how do I apply?
Ans: The UT Puducherry domicile quota reserves approximately 25% of MBBS seats at JIPMER’s Puducherry campus for bona fide residents of the Union Territory of Puducherry. This quota operates within the MCC NEET UG counselling framework — a separate merit list is prepared for domicile students within the MCC rounds. To claim this quota, you must submit a valid domicile certificate obtained from the competent authority in UT Puducherry proving that you or your parents have been Puducherry residents for the minimum prescribed period. Register on mcc.nic.in and select the domicile quota category when filling your counselling registration — there is no separate application process outside MCC.
Ques: What happens if I do not report to JIPMER by the June 30, 2026 deadline for PDF/PDCC?
Ans: If you do not complete all joining formalities at JIPMER Puducherry by June 30, 2026 (the day before the July 1, 2026 course commencement), your allotted seat is forfeited. JIPMER will offer the seat to the next eligible student on the discipline-wise merit list. The August 31, 2026 last date for admission refers to subsequent allotments from a second merit list for vacancies — it does not mean you can join after missing the first reporting deadline without receiving a fresh allotment. No extension of the reporting deadline is typically granted once the course has commenced.
Ques: Are PDF and PDCC students at JIPMER paid a stipend?
Ans: Yes, JIPMER typically provides a monthly stipend to PDF and PDCC students as per the institute’s norms for the session year. The stipend amount and payment schedule are specified in the official notification for each session — the amount may differ between PDF and PDCC programs and may be subject to revision. Check the July 2026 session notification at jipmer.edu.in for the current stipend rates applicable to your program and discipline.
Ques: Where should I check for the latest JIPMER counselling updates?
Ans: Always refer to the official sources for the most accurate and up-to-date information:
- PDF/PDCC admissions: jipmer.edu.in → Announcements → Entrance Examinations and Admissions
- MBBS via NEET UG: mcc.nic.in (MCC official portal)
- MD/MS/DM/MCh via INI-CET: inicounselling.aiimsexams.edu.in (AIIMS INI-CET counselling portal)
Do not rely on unofficial sources, social media posts, or coaching centre bulletins for admission dates or eligibility criteria — only official notifications from these portals carry authoritative and legally binding information.
