How MD / MS / DNB admission works in 2026
MD/MS admissions in India are filled through NEET-PG (state + AIQ) and INI-CET (AIIMS, JIPMER, PGIMER, NIMHANS). The flow mirrors UG but with tighter PG-specific rounds and stricter service-bond + domicile rules at the state level.

MD / MS 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.
