Attention medical and technical aspirants! The JCECEB online registration and choice filling for various courses begin tomorrow, November 12, 2025. This critical step follows the publication of the final merit list and is mandatory for seat allotment. Candidates must register on the official portal and meticulously fill their college and course preferences. This process governs admission into B.Sc.

The Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (JCECEB) has officially announced the commencement of the crucial online registration and choice-filling phase for seat allotment, effective from tomorrow, November 12, 2025. This notification is a pivotal moment for thousands of candidates who have successfully qualified and found their names on the recently published Final State Merit List for admission to various professional courses.
The counselling process, which is mandatory for final seat allocation, covers a wide array of programs, including B.Sc. Nursing (Basic & Post Basic), Paramedical, Agriculture and Allied Courses, and other technical and medical programs offered by state-run institutions in Jharkhand. Having already cleared the entrance examination and secured a rank on the merit list, the next step is perhaps the most important: selecting your preferred college and course. Aspirants must approach this registration and choice-filling process with utmost care and strategic planning, as the final seat allotment will strictly depend on the choices submitted, the candidate's rank, and seat availability. Candidates should log in to the official JCECEB counselling portal to begin the process promptly once it opens.
Online Registration and Choice Filling: Key Dates & Steps
The window for registration and choice filling is typically brief and requires meticulous attention to detail. Aspirants are advised to not wait until the last minute to avoid technical glitches and ensure their preferred options are secured in the system.
- Timeline and Deadlines (Tentative):
- Start of Online Registration & Choice Filling: November 12, 2025 (Tomorrow)
- End Date for Online Registration & Choice Filling: Typically runs for 3-5 days from the start date (e.g., November 12 to 16, 2025)
- Seat Allotment Result: Usually declared a few days after the choice locking ends (e.g., November 19, 2025)
- Document Verification & Admission: Scheduled immediately after the seat allotment results.
- Mandatory Steps to Follow:
- Counselling Fee Payment: Candidates must first pay the non-refundable counselling registration fee online via the official portal to gain access to the choice-filling window.
- Registration and Login: Use your unique Roll Number/Application Number and Date of Birth/Password to log in to the candidate portal.
- Fill and Arrange Choices: Access the list of available colleges and courses. Candidates must select and arrange their preferred options in strict order of priority (most desired course/college at rank 1, second most desired at rank 2, and so on).
- Save and Lock: Continuously save your choices during the session. Crucially, before the deadline, you must lock your choices. Unlocked choices may not be considered, or the last saved choices will be auto-locked, which is risky.
SEO Tip: Search for the "JCECEB counselling schedule 2025" and "JCECEB choice filling guide" to find the most accurate dates and instructions.
Strategic Approach to Preference and Choice Locking
The choice-filling mechanism operates on the principle of merit and preference. An allotment will be made to the highest possible choice on your list that corresponds to an available seat based on your state merit rank. Therefore, careful consideration is essential.
- Principle of Ranking:
- Ascending Order of Preference: Place the most desirable college/course combination at the top of your list, regardless of its predicted cut-off. If you are eligible for the top choice, you will be allotted it.
- Include Safety Options: Always include a sufficient number of "safety" colleges/courses at the lower end of your list—options that you are highly likely to secure based on previous year’s cut-off data. This prevents you from missing out on a seat entirely in Round 1.
- Check Institute Codes: Verify the correct institution and course codes before submitting. A mistake here can lead to allotment in an unwanted college or course.
- Essential Documents for Verification (Keep Ready):
- JCECEB Admit Card and Score Card.
- Local Resident Certificate (Mandatory for State Quota seats).
- Caste/Category Certificate (If applicable).
- Class 10th and 12th Mark Sheets and Passing Certificates.
- Passport-size photographs.
- Provisional Allotment Letter (to be generated after seat allotment).
