Nagaland NEET PG Merit List 2026: Nagaland does not conduct regular state-quota MD/MS counselling because the state has no postgraduate medical college. Instead, the Directorate of Health & Family Welfare (DHFW), Government of Nagaland, nominates eligible Nagaland-domiciled and in-service candidates for limited PG seats at RIMS Imphal, Manipur.[
The merit list for these sponsored seats is prepared from the NEET PG 2026 score. The NEET PG 2026 exam was held on August 30, 2026, and the result was declared on September 24, 2026.
