J&K BOPEE Halts MBBS/BDS Selection List Over Technical Glitch
By: Javid Amin | 19 Aug 2025
Hundreds of medical aspirants across Jammu & Kashmir were left stunned after the J&K Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (BOPEE) abruptly suspended the recently published MBBS and BDS selection list for 2025 admissions. The move, attributed to a “technical glitch,” has temporarily stalled the admission process for medical and dental colleges in the Union Territory.
What Exactly Happened?
-
On August 18, 2025, BOPEE issued the provisional selection list for MBBS and BDS courses through Notification No. 100-BOPEE of 2025.
-
Just a day later, on August 19, the board released another notice announcing the suspension of the list due to technical issues.
-
As a result, all admission processes in government and private medical/dental colleges have been put on hold until a corrected list is re-published.
Aspirants in Limbo
The sudden rollback has triggered confusion, frustration, and anxiety among candidates and their families.
-
Many aspirants had already begun travelling to colleges for admission formalities when the announcement came.
-
A Srinagar-based student shared:
“My name was in the list, and I had left for GMC Kathua from Srinagar. Now I’m stuck in uncertainty, waiting for clarity.”
Students are urging BOPEE to rectify and re-issue the selection list quickly, with many hoping for fresh updates by August 20 to avoid further disruption.
BOPEE’s Official Response
BOPEE Chairperson Minu Mahajan clarified the decision, stating:
“There was some issue and we did not want any erroneous admissions. The fresh list will be uploaded soon.”
Officials emphasized that the delay is precautionary, aimed at ensuring error-free admissions and avoiding complications for students at a later stage.
What to Watch For
-
A revised MBBS/BDS selection list is expected to be released shortly on the official BOPEE website (www.jkbopee.gov.in).
-
Candidates are strongly advised to:
-
Monitor only official notifications.
-
Avoid relying on unverified social media posts or private sources.
-
Keep documents and admission fees ready for the corrected admission schedule.
-
Key Takeaway
While the suspension of the MBBS/BDS selection list has created temporary uncertainty and inconvenience, BOPEE insists the step is in the best interest of students to prevent errors in the admission process.
Aspirants now wait anxiously for the updated merit-based list, which is expected to be released very soon.
