Ladakh Revises Medical Admission Rules With Single NEET Merit List
Ladakh has changed how some medical college seats will be assigned.
Students will now compete on one common merit list.
Their district, gender and reservation category will not create separate lists under the new rules.
A student’s NEET rank and chosen colleges will decide the admission process.
For 2026-27, Ladakh has seven MBBS seats and two BDS seats.
These seats are in colleges in different parts of India.
Students who qualify can apply online through the Ladakh NIC portal.
They will have seven days to submit their applications.
