Urgent Action: Final Deadline for Document Rectification
A vital notification accompanies the provisional list: candidates who have been marked as 'withheld' or 'ineligible' due to faulty, incomplete, or missing documents have a final, extremely tight window to rectify these deficiencies.
- Deadline: Today, November 4, 2025, by 12:00 PM (Noon).
A total of 34 candidates have been declared ineligible at this stage, primarily for failing to upload correct documentation for reservation benefits (like category certificates) or proof of nativity/domicile in Kerala. Failure to upload the required documents through the candidate's profile page on the CEE Kerala website before the deadline will result in their automatic removal from the Round 1 eligibility list, effectively putting their PG admission on hold. This comes after an earlier list of 967 defective applications was published, with candidates asked to correct errors by October 27, 2025.
Key Details in the Provisional Lists
Aspirants need to download both the Provisional Merit List and the Category List from the 'PG Medical 2025 – Candidate Portal' section of the official website. These lists provide essential details that will govern the upcoming choice-filling and seat-allotment process:
- Provisional Merit List: Lists candidates based on their overall NEET PG 2025 State Rank.
- Provisional Category List: Details the ranks of candidates within their specific reservation categories (like SC/ST/OBC/EWS), which is essential for applying for quota seats.
The details to verify in the lists include the candidate's Kerala NEET PG Application Number, NEET PG 2025 Roll Number, NEET PG 2025 Rank, and the declared Candidate Category.
Next Steps in Counselling
With the provisional lists out and the document rectification period ending today, the CEE will move swiftly to finalize the merit lists and proceed with the seat allocation process:
- Medical Board Examination: The Medical Board examination for candidates who have applied under the Differently-Abled (PwBD) category is scheduled to be held on November 6, 2025, in Thiruvananthapuram.
- Final Merit List & Choice Filling: The Final State Merit and Category Lists are expected to be published immediately after today's document correction deadline. This will be followed by the release of the official schedule for Choice Filling, where candidates can select their preferred college and course combinations.
Candidates, especially those with withheld status, must give utmost priority to uploading the correct documentation today, November 4, 2025, to ensure their place in the ongoing PG counselling.
