The list also includes candidates belonging to different categories and minority groups, including Sikh and Christian candidates, with their respective category codes mentioned in the document.

Merit List Covers Candidates Across a Wide NEET Rank Range

The provisional list extends considerably beyond the top ranks. Candidates around State Merit No. 1,900 are shown with NEET marks in the 360s, while candidates around State Merit No. 2,500 are listed with marks around 295–300.

Towards the lower end of the displayed merit list, candidates with NEET marks in the 250s and below are also included. For example, candidates around State Merit No. 2,836 have marks of 258, while later entries include candidates with marks around 245.

85% Punjab State Quota Eligibility

A separate column in the provisional merit list indicates whether a candidate is eligible for 85% State Quota seats.

This distinction is important because eligibility for Punjab's state quota seats can affect the colleges and seat categories available to a candidate during Round 3 allotment.

1. State merit number
2. NEET marks and rank
