Mizoram NEET UG 2026 Merit List Released: Your Complete Roadmap to MBBS, BDS Admission

The National Testing Agency (NTA) announced the NEET UG 2026 result on July 16, 2026, with over 11.21 lakh qualified candidates out of 20 lakh test takers. Following this, the Mizoram state-level merit list has been prepared based on NEET All India Rank (AIR), state rank, category-wise positions, and candidate domicile status according to Mizoram Government rules.

Unlike the all-India ranking, your state merit position in Mizoram's counselling list depends on your NEET score, category, and whether you meet the state domicile/residency requirements. This is critical: even candidates ranked high nationally might not appear in the same position in Mizoram's state quota merit list if they lack local residency certificates.

Who Can Download and Check Mizoram's Merit List?

To verify your position in the Mizoram NEET UG 2026 merit list, you must meet these eligibility criteria:

1. Qualified NEET Examination: You must have appeared for and qualified the Re NEET UG 2026 examination conducted by NTA.

2. Minimum Qualifying Percentile: Your NEET score must meet the minimum qualifying percentile for your category—50% for General, 40% for SC/ST/OBC, and 45% for candidates with disabilities (PwD).

3. Age Requirement: You must be at least 17 years old as on the date of admission or as per the current NTA guidelines.

4. Educational Qualification: You must have passed Class 12 or equivalent examination with Physics, Chemistry, Biology (or Biotechnology), and English as mandatory subjects.

5. Domicile Status (Critical for State Quota): For 85% Mizoram state quota seats, you must satisfy the state's domicile/local residency requirements. Generally, this means you or your parents must have resided in Mizoram for a specified period, typically validated through residential certificates issued by Mizoram Government authorities.

6. Reserved Category Candidates: If you belong to SC, ST, OBC, EWS, or PwD categories, you must possess valid certificates issued by the Mizoram Government, not certificates from other states.

Step-by-Step Counselling Process for Mizoram NEET UG 2026

Phase 1: Online Registration Visit dhte.mizoram.gov.in and click the NEET 2026 Counselling registration link. Create a unique username and strong password. Fill in your NEET roll number, name, contact details, and NEET score. Upload a scanned copy of your NEET scorecard. Pay the registration fee (amount to be announced by DHTE) through online payment gateway.

Phase 2: Document Verification After registration, report to the designated document verification center (usually Technical Wing Office, DHTE, Chaltlang, Aizawl) with all original documents and photocopies. DHTE officials verify your eligibility, domicile status, category certificates, and academic qualifications. Once verified, your candidacy is confirmed for seat allotment.

Phase 3: Choice Filling and Locking After successful document verification, log into the counselling portal again. You'll see a list of available colleges, courses, and seat categories matching your eligibility. Select your preferred colleges and courses in order of preference (if the portal allows ranking). The most crucial step: LOCK your choices. Once locked, changes cannot be made. This decision directly impacts which college and course you're eligible for in seat allotment.

Phase 4: Seat Allotment DHTE uses a computerized merit-based random allocation system. Your NEET rank, category, reserved/unreserved status, domicile eligibility, and locked choices determine seat allocation. Results are published online in the counselling portal.

Phase 5: Reporting at Allocated Institute After allotment, you have a fixed time window (typically 3-5 days) to report to your allotted college with all original documents and certificates for final admission formalities. Failing to report results in seat cancellation.
