Kerala PG Dental Admissions: CEE Releases Revised Provisional Rank List Following Supreme Court Directives

A significant development has unfolded for aspirants of Post Graduate Dental (MDS) courses in Kerala. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE) Kerala has officially released the much-anticipated revised provisional rank list for 2023 admissions. This crucial update, now available on the official CEE website, cee.kerala.gov.in, supersedes the previous list published on January 16, 2024, marking a pivotal moment in the admission cycle.

This revision comes directly in response to an order from the Hon'ble Supreme Court dated January 23, 2024.

The directive specifically addressed the inclusion of service candidates from the Medical Education Department, necessitating a comprehensive recalculation and redrafting of the original rank standings. Earlier, on January 18, 2024, the CEE had temporarily halted all further admission processes, including option registration, following an interim order from the Supreme Court in SLP (C) 1762/2024.

The newly published revised list meticulously reflects these vital changes, particularly concerning the determination of service quota seats within the Medical Education Department.

This ensures that the admission process aligns with the latest judicial pronouncements, aiming for fairness and transparency for all applicants.

With the revised list now live, candidates who find their names included are urged to proceed immediately with option registration. The online option registration window for allocation to PG Dental (MDS) courses for the year 2023 commenced on January 29, 2024.

It is imperative for all eligible candidates to complete this process promptly, as the window will close sharply at 4 PM on January 30, 2024.

It is important for all prospective students to note that while this revised list facilitates the next stage of admissions, both the list itself and the subsequent allotment process remain subject to the final judgment of the Supreme Court in the ongoing case.

Candidates are advised to stay vigilant for any further official announcements.
