Who can apply, and what to remember

The circular is for APST candidates who registered for PCB group counselling, paid the seat acceptance fee and have not been nominated so far. Allotment is on NEET 2026 merit. Any seat surrendered after AIQ Round 3 will be added in due course. The MBBS and BDS seats are only 3 in all, so apply on time and keep your MCC and other state options going in parallel.

In one line: Arunachal’s MBBS and BDS state seats were all filled by the 11 September spot round. The two stray rounds held on 21 and 28 September 2026 offered only nursing, pharmacy, allied and BHMS seats — no MBBS or BDS. DHTE says seats that fall vacant later will be counselled later.

What this means

All MBBS and BDS seats in Arunachal’s state counselling were already filled by the 11 September spot round — the two stray rounds in late September had no MBBS or BDS vacancy. The 28 September allotment says counselling for seats that fall vacant later “shall be conducted later on”. That has now happened: on 1 October DHTE listed 2 MBBS and 1 BDS seats (see the section above). If you are still waiting for an MBBS seat, keep checking apdhte.nic.in and use your MCC and other state options in parallel.

Spot round and earlier updates (to 11 September) (click to expand)

The Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar, published the full counselling calendar through to a spot round in September. Registration and choice filling closed as scheduled, and the Round 1 seat allotment result — revised from 21 to 27 August 2026 to stay reconciled with the delayed All India Counselling (MCC) schedule — was declared as scheduled. A Circular dated 9 September 2026 confirmed the Spot Round Counselling (Offline) would be held on 11 September 2026, from 11:30 AM, at the DK Hall, State Legislative Assembly, Itanagar. Update, 11 September: the Spot Round was held as scheduled, and Notice No. HTE-18/2/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 September 2026, now confirms the Directorate published the Spot Round Allotment result the same day — strictly by NEET UG 2026 All India Rank, across multiple courses and colleges. Check your individual allotment status directly at apdhte.nic.in; we do not reproduce the published candidate-wise list here.

The short version. Online provisional registration ran 13–19 August 2026 at apdhte.nic.in or apjee.co.in, and choice filling/locking closed 20 August — both on schedule. First round seat allotment, originally slated for 21 August, was revised to 27 August 2026, and a second round followed (result uploaded 5 September). A Circular dated 9 September 2026 set a Spot Round Counselling (Offline) for 11 September 2026, 11:30 AM, at the DK Hall, State Legislative Assembly, Itanagar. Eligible: Freeze-option candidates who withdrew their seat online by 9 September; candidates not allotted any seat through the 2nd round; and fresh candidates registering now through 3 PM, 10 September. All participating candidates must deposit a Rs 5,000 Seat Acceptance Fee/Security Deposit via apjee.co.in — the circular's own text is inconsistent on the exact cut-off time for this (see the table below). Vacancy details publish at 12 Noon and the Spot Round-eligible merit list at 6 PM, both on 10 September. PwD candidates’ TRIHMS medical board window (12–18 August) has closed. Update, 11 September: the Spot Round Counselling was held as scheduled and the Directorate published the allotment result the same day (Notice No. HTE-18/2/2023-HTE-BR-HTE) — strictly by NEET UG 2026 All India Rank, across BDS, BVSc, BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing, B.Physiotherapy and MRIT seats at colleges including those in Lucknow, Imphal, Aizawl, Jorhat, Guwahati, NEIAH, Pasighat, Kolkata, Chhattisgarh and Nagaland. Check the official published list directly for your own name and result — we do not reproduce individual candidate data here.

Two portals are named for registration and the information brochure — apdhte.nic.in and apjee.co.in. Both are official; use whichever is responsive on the day.

Update, 11 September — Spot Round results are out. Notice No. HTE-18/2/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 September 2026, from the Directorate of Health, Family Welfare, HTE, publishes the Spot Round Allotment result for NEET UG 2026 counselling. The Spot Round was conducted and the result declared the same day, 11 September 2026. Allotment was made purely by NEET UG 2026 All India Rank (AIR) — no other criterion. The published merit-list/allotment table spans multiple courses (BDS, BVSc, BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing, B.Physiotherapy, MRIT) and multiple colleges (in Lucknow, Imphal, Aizawl, Jorhat, Guwahati, NEIAH, Pasighat, Kolkata, Chhattisgarh and Nagaland), covering candidates from merit Sl. No. 130 to 254. We do not reproduce individual candidate names, ranks or seat allotments from that published list here — check the official notice directly at apdhte.nic.in for your own result.

Update, 10 September — the Spot Round is officially scheduled, and yesterday's flagged withdrawal date is now confirmed. Circular No. HTE-18/1/2021-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 9 September 2026 and signed by Director Dr. Milorai Modi, sets out the Spot Round in full. Five categories of candidate are eligible: (1) Freeze-option candidates who reported to the Directorate but withdrew their allotted seat online within the stipulated 9 September deadline; (2) registered candidates not allotted any seat up to the 2nd round; (3) fresh candidates who could not register before the 1st round but now want to; (4) candidates who have not opted for Freeze after the 2nd round, automatically eligible; and (5) candidates who opted Freeze but never reported, treated as surrendered and eligible for the Spot Round. Allotment is strictly by All India Rank (NEET UG 2026) — the circular gives no scope for anything else. Candidates are told to bring all original documents and be prepared to move immediately for admission if allotted. One internal inconsistency in the circular itself, not resolved by us: Note 6 sets the Security Deposit deadline at 4:00 PM, 10 September, while Note 7 says a candidate without that deposit by 3:00 PM the same day is ineligible — we report both times rather than silently pick one; paying before 3 PM avoids the question entirely.

814 Registered · Merit List Out 20 August

The Merit List, and What the
AIQ Cross-Check Shows

The Directorate published the Merit List of Registered Candidates for PCB Group Counselling (No. HTE-18/1/2026-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 20 August 2026, signed by Director Dr. Milorai Modi) — 814 candidates registered, spanning All India Rank 18,036 down to 17,65,877 and NEET UG marks from 580 down to 82, split across APST and Non-APST category columns.

We cross-checked every one of those 814 All India Ranks against MCC’s own AIQ Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment result (Notice No. 11, 20 August 2026). 48 of the 814 — almost all APST, and heavily concentrated at the very top of the merit list (14 of the top 20 ranks) — already show up with a provisionally allotted AIQ seat elsewhere in India. A candidate holding both is likely to Float or simply not join the state seat once a better or equally good AIQ option is in hand, which would push effective competition for Arunachal’s own PCB seats a little further down the list than the raw 814 registrations suggest.

Read this as a signal, not a cutoff. The Directorate’s circular does not publish how many state-quota PCB seats are actually available this cycle, so we cannot responsibly convert this overlap into a predicted closing rank — anyone telling you an exact cutoff number for Arunachal Pradesh Round 1 right now is guessing. What we can tell you, from your own rank and category, is roughly where you sit relative to the 814 registered and the 48 with a parallel AIQ option. Send us your rank and category for a straight read on your own chances, free.

If the State Seat Doesn’t Come Through

Two Ways This Still
Works Out

If your rank looks tight for a state PCB seat, don’t assume the cycle is over. Two separate options are worth checking before you write off 2026 — and both are things OEF checks for free.

A government seat may still be reachable via AIQ

MCC’s own AIQ Round 1 Provisional Result this year filled MBBS and BDS Open/OBC/EWS seats at several newly-established government medical colleges all the way down to All India Ranks in the 6–12 lakh range — far beyond the 20,000–45,000 closing ranks the well-known colleges post. If your AIR falls anywhere in that broader range, a government MBBS/BDS seat through AIQ, not just Arunachal’s own quota, may still be realistic. See the full AIQ closing-rank breakdown for the verified numbers.

Management quota at a private or deemed college

Below the qualifying percentile is the only hard floor — 213 marks for General, 177 for SC/ST/OBC in 2026. Above that, private and deemed medical, dental and AYUSH colleges across India accept management-quota admissions with no rank cutoff, at a range of fee levels. OEF has verified fee and seat data for BDS, BAMS and MBBS management-quota options and has placed NE India students into several of them.

Talk to us before you decide either way. Whether the 27 August allotment came through for you, you're chasing an AIQ seat at a less sought-after government college, or you're looking at management quota, the right call depends on your actual rank, category and budget — not a generic rule of thumb. Send us your NEET score, category and domicile and we’ll lay out every realistic option honestly, free of cost.

PwD Candidates

A Separate Window,
Now Closed

PwD candidates were required to physically report to the Medical Board at the Conference Hall of TRIHMS (Tomo Riba Institute of Health & Medical Sciences), Naharlagun, for medical examination and final confirmation of PwD status and fitness for the course. The circular gave a window rather than a fixed date — 12 to 18 August 2026 — and that window has now closed. If you fall under this category and have not yet completed this step, contact the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar, directly rather than assume a late assessment will still be accepted.

Source and scope. The original schedule on this page comes from Circular No. HTE-18/1/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 August 2026. The 814-candidate merit list comes from a separate notice, No. HTE-18/1/2026-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 20 August 2026 — both issued by the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Government of Arunachal Pradesh, and signed by Director Dr. Milorai Modi. The Round 1 postponement to 27 August comes from the Directorate’s separate postponement notice citing the All India Counselling delay. The Spot Round schedule comes from Circular No. HTE-18/1/2021-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 9 September 2026. The Spot Round Allotment result comes from a further, separate notice, No. HTE-18/2/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 September 2026, from the Directorate of Health, Family Welfare, HTE — we summarise its substance only and do not reproduce the individual candidate-wise allotment table (merit Sl.

Arunachal Pradesh FAQs

Questions Parents Ask Us

What is the Arunachal Pradesh MBBS stray round 2 result for 2026?
+

On 12 October 2026, DHTE Arunachal Pradesh allotted 9 PCB group seats in Stray Round 2: 2 MBBS (TRIHMS and Raigarh, at NEET marks 482 and 436), 2 BDS (Lucknow and RIMS, at 434 and 411) and 5 BAMS (Pasighat, 411 down to 389). Selected candidates must collect the nomination letter at the Directorate of Medical Education (Training and Research), Naharlagun before 3 PM on 14 October and complete admission within 16 October 2026.

Are there any MBBS or BDS seats open in Arunachal Pradesh state counselling in October 2026?
+

Yes, a few. DHTE Itanagar's Circular No. HTE-18/1/2021-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 1 October 2026, lists vacant seats for APST candidates who registered for PCB group counselling and paid the seat acceptance fee but have not been nominated: 1 MBBS seat at TRIHMS, Naharlagun; 1 MBBS seat at Lat Sh. Lakhiram Agarwal Memorial Govt. Medical College, Raigarh, Chhattisgarh; 1 BDS seat at K.G. Dental College, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh; and 5 BAMS seats at NEIAFMR, Pasighat. Apply through the Google Form on apdhte.nic.in within 11 October 2026 (till midnight); allotment is on NEET 2026 merit and will be notified on 12 October. Seats surrendered after AIQ Round 3 will be added in due course.

Has Arunachal Pradesh's HTE published Spot Round allotment results for NEET UG 2026?
+

Yes. Notice No. HTE-18/2/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 September 2026, from the Directorate of Health, Family Welfare, HTE, publishes the Spot Round Allotment result for NEET UG 2026 counselling. The Spot Round was conducted and the result published the same day, 11 September 2026. Allotment was made strictly by NEET UG 2026 All India Rank (AIR), with no other criterion. The published list spans multiple courses (BDS, BVSc, BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing, B.Physiotherapy, MRIT) and multiple colleges (in Lucknow, Imphal, Aizawl, Jorhat, Guwahati, NEIAH, Pasighat, Kolkata, Chhattisgarh and Nagaland). We do not name individual candidates, ranks or specific allotment outcomes from that list here — check the official published notice directly at apdhte.nic.in for your own name and result.

Has Arunachal Pradesh scheduled a Spot Round, and who is eligible?
+

Yes. Circular No. HTE-18/1/2021-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 9 September 2026 and signed by Director Dr. Milorai Modi, schedules Spot Round Counselling (Offline) for 11 September 2026, from 11:30 AM, at the DK Hall, State Legislative Assembly, Itanagar. Eligible candidates: Freeze-option candidates who withdrew their allotted seat online by 9 September; registered candidates not allotted a seat through the 2nd round; fresh candidates who missed the 1st round and register now (portal open 10:00 AM, 9 September to 3:00 PM, 10 September); candidates who did not opt for Freeze after the 2nd round; and Freeze-option candidates who never reported, treated as surrendered. All participating candidates must pay a Rs 5,000 Seat Acceptance Fee/Security Deposit via apjee.co.in — the circular itself is inconsistent on the exact cut-off (Note 6 says 4:00 PM, Note 7 says 3:00 PM, both 10 September), so pay well before 3 PM to be safe. Vacancy details publish at 12 Noon and the Spot Round-eligible merit list at 6:00 PM, both on 10 September. Allotment is strictly by NEET UG 2026 All India Rank.

Has the Arunachal Pradesh Round 1 seat allotment result been declared?
+

Yes. The Round 1 seat allotment result for PCB group counselling, revised from 21 to 27 August 2026 to stay reconciled with the delayed MCC AIQ Round 1 schedule, was declared as scheduled on 27 August 2026. Check your individual allotment status directly at apdhte.nic.in — we have not seen a published cutoff or seat-by-seat allotment list ourselves, so treat any rank-cutoff figure you see elsewhere with caution unless it traces back to the Directorate's own publication. Reporting dates and the Round 2 schedule remain subject to the revised timetable the Directorate said it would announce separately.

What did Arunachal Pradesh announce for NEET UG 2026?
+

Circular No. HTE-18/1/2023-HTE-BR-HTE, dated 11 August 2026, from the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar, signed by Director Dr. Milorai Modi. It sets out the full online counselling schedule for candidates who appeared in NEET-UG 2026 and want a seat in PCB group courses through the state.

Where do I register, and by when?
+

Online provisional registration runs 13–19 August 2026, at either apdhte.nic.in or apjee.co.in — both portals are named in the circular as valid. Document upload and response to any queries continues one day longer, to 20 August, up to 12:00 noon. The Information Brochure and registration instructions are published on the same two websites.

What is the full round-by-round schedule?
+

Round 1: choice filling and locking 13–20 August, list of eligible registered candidates published 20 August after 4:00 PM. Seat allotment, revised from 21 August, was declared as scheduled on 27 August 2026 due to the postponement of the All India Counselling (MCC AIQ Round 1). Round 2 (previously pencilled for 28 August), reporting windows, seat withdrawal and any spot round remain provisional pending a revised schedule the Directorate says will follow separately.

What happens for PwD candidates?
+

PwD candidates were required to report to the Medical Board at the Conference Hall of TRIHMS, Naharlagun, for medical examination and final confirmation of PwD status and fitness for the course, in a window between 12 and 18 August 2026 that has now closed. If you fall under this category and missed it, contact apdhte.nic.in or the Directorate directly rather than assume a late assessment will be accepted.

Can the schedule change after this circular?
+

Yes, and the circular does not hide this. It states candidates should keep all original documents and photocopies ready for verification as and when required, and the schedule itself is subject to the usual revisions state counselling authorities make at short notice. Check apdhte.nic.in directly before finalising any travel plans around these dates.

Why was the Round 1 allotment postponed to 27 August?
+

The Directorate says it is due to the postponement of the All India Counselling — MCC’s own AIQ Round 1 schedule slipped this cycle, and Arunachal Pradesh, like several other states, pushed its own Round 1 allotment to stay reconciled with the national process. The Directorate’s notice describes 27 August 2026 as a Friday; our own calendar check shows 27 August 2026 actually falls on a Thursday (28 August is the Friday). Confirm the exact day directly on apdhte.nic.in rather than relying on the day-name in the notice, and treat Round 2 and later dates as provisional until the Directorate issues the promised revised schedule.

Can I predict whether I will get a state quota PCB seat?
+

Not with precision, and be wary of anyone who claims otherwise. The Directorate’s 20 August merit list shows 814 registered candidates, All India Rank 18,036 to 17,65,877. OEF cross-checked all 814 against MCC’s AIQ Round 1 Provisional Result and found 48 — mostly APST, concentrated at the very top of the list — already hold a provisional AIQ seat elsewhere, which may reduce real competition for the state’s own seats. But the Directorate has not published how many PCB seats are actually available this cycle, so no one can respectably state an exact predicted cutoff. Send OEF your rank and category for a personalised, honest read.
