Admission Process · Step by step

How MBBS / BDS / AYUSH / BPT admission actually works in 2026

Every medical UG seat in India is filled through one of four counselling routes, all built on a valid NEET-UG 2026 score. Your domicile state, NEET rank, and budget decide which route is right for you. Here is the structure, exactly as MCC, NMC, and the state directorates publish it.

Entrance exam

NEET-UG 2026 (single national entrance for all UG medical courses)

Route 01

All-India Quota (AIQ) — MCC Counselling

Authority
Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India
Seat share
15% of seats in all government colleges + 100% of central institutes
Who
Any Indian citizen with a qualifying NEET-UG score. No domicile required. EWS/SC/ST/OBC reservations apply per central rules.
How it works
MCC runs Round 1 → Round 2 → Round 3 → Stray Vacancy. You register on mcc.nic.in, fill choices, and lock. Allotment is published online and you report to the allotted college.
Timeline: Round 1: ~August. Round 2: ~September. R3 + Stray: October–November.

Route 02

State Counselling — 85% State Quota

Authority
State Directorate of Medical Education / state CET cell
Seat share
85% of seats in government colleges + state-quota seats in private colleges
Who
Candidates with a valid domicile certificate of that state. Each state runs its own counselling with its own reservation rules.
How it works
Register with the state portal (e.g. CET Cell Maharashtra, KEA Karnataka, KNRUHS Telangana). Submit domicile + NEET scorecard. Fill choices in priority. Allotment + reporting.
Timeline: Typically starts 2–3 weeks after MCC Round 1, runs through October–November.

Route 03

MCC Deemed Counselling — Deemed-to-be Universities

Authority
Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India
Seat share
All seats across 51 Deemed-to-be Universities (pan-India)
Who
Any Indian citizen / OCI / NRI with a qualifying NEET-UG score. No domicile rule — open to all India.
How it works
Single MCC portal handles all Deemed universities. Register, fill choices across all Deemed colleges, allotment is rank-based across the whole pool.
Timeline: Runs in parallel with MCC AIQ — Round 1 onwards from August.

Route 04

Management Quota — Private College Direct Admission

Authority
Individual college, regulated by state Fee Regulating Authority (FRA)
Seat share
Typically 10–15% of seats per private college (varies by state)
Who
Candidates who qualified NEET-UG but didn't get a seat via state or MCC counselling. Higher fee tier; FRA-approved.
How it works
Apply directly to the college (or through SG). The college verifies NEET score + documents + collects the FRA-approved management-quota fee, and issues an admission letter.
Timeline: Opens after state counselling closes — typically October–December.

Route 05

NRI Quota — For NRI / OCI / PIO Candidates

Authority
Individual college (Deemed or Private), per NMC NRI guidelines
Seat share
Up to 15% of seats per college, NRI-only
Who
NRIs / OCIs / PIOs with valid sponsor documentation, or candidates with a first-degree relative on overseas residence proof.
How it works
Sponsor passport + visa + relationship proof + NRI declaration. Fees are USD-denominated. Application is direct to the college's admission cell.
Timeline: Year-round; most seats locked in by October–December.

Frequently Asked

BHMS admission — your questions answered

It varies by college tier and admission route. Government colleges need higher ranks; Management/NRI quota in private colleges accepts wider score bands. Share your score and we'll map a realistic shortlist.

For NMC/NCISM-regulated medical courses (MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BPT) — no. A valid NEET-UG score is mandatory by law. We can guide you on management or NRI quota for lower cut-offs, but the NEET score itself is non-negotiable.

Add ₹1–3 lakh per year to the tuition fees for hostel, mess, exam, caution deposit and miscellaneous charges. We share a complete year-wise outflow estimate before any commitment.

Yes — Management quota is a regulated institutional seat category. Medical colleges are NMC/NCISM-recognised, engineering is AICTE-approved, law is BCI-recognised, and management is AICTE-approved. Fees are FRA / state-authority approved and disclosed upfront.

From counselling to seat lock, expect 4–8 weeks depending on the state and round. For Management / NRI direct routes, the process can complete in 2–3 weeks if documents are in order.

The initial consultation, college shortlisting, and counselling guidance is free. We invoice our admission-management fee only after we successfully secure your seat — and only if you choose end-to-end SG support.
