The Jammu and Kashmir Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) has announced the reservation of four MBBS seats in the Central Pool for spouses and children of civilian victims of terrorism in the Union Territory for the 2026-27 academic session.
According to a BOPEE notification, offline applications have been invited for allocation of the seats. The four seats are earmarked at A.N. Magadh Medical College, Gaya, Bihar (one), Grant Medical College, Mumbai (one), and Pt. JNM Medical College, Raipur, Chhattisgarh (two).
Applicants must be permanent residents of J&K and must be either the spouse or child of a deceased or permanently disabled civilian victim of terrorism.
Candidates must have completed 17 years of age by the time of admission or attain the age on or before December 31 of the admission year. They must also meet National Medical Commission norms, including passing Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English individually with the prescribed marks for the applicable category and qualifying the required percentile in NEET-UG 2026.
Selection will be based on the rank secured in NEET-UG 2026 conducted by the National Testing Agency. BOPEE clarified that the Ministry of Home Affairs will not conduct any separate examination for the seats.

Priority will be given first to children whose both parents were killed by terrorists. The second priority will be for children from families where the sole breadwinner was killed by terrorists, followed by wards of victims who suffered permanent disability or serious injuries in terrorist operations.
