Overview
The Directorate of Health Services, Government of Manipur, has released the Manipur NEET 2026 Round 1 rank list for candidates seeking admission to MBBS and BDS courses under the state quota. This is an admission merit list rather than a recruitment notification; therefore, no posts are involved, while the total number of available medical and dental seats will be specified in the official seat matrix.
Candidates included in the merit list should verify their rank, category and other details before completing the next stage of counselling. Inclusion in the rank list does not automatically guarantee admission, as allotment depends on NEET rank, reservation rules, preferences and seat availability.
