How MBBS Admission Works
Admission to MBBS in India is based solely on NEET UG. Your NEET rank, category, home state and budget then decide which colleges you can reach through counselling — run nationally by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) and locally by each state's counselling authority.
Government colleges offer the lowest fees and the toughest competition. Private and deemed universities add many more seats at higher fees. Knowing which counselling covers which seat is the first step to a sensible plan.
What Is the All India Quota (AIQ)?
15% of seats in state government medical colleges are open to students from every state through MCC counselling. MCC also fills seats at:
- 15% of government MBBS seats in every state
- Government dental colleges (AIQ seats)
- All AIIMS institutes
- JIPMER Puducherry and Karaikal
- Central universities
- ESIC medical colleges
- Deemed universities (100% of seats)
- AFMC Pune (registration via MCC, then its own selection)
