# Orchid Education Foundation — Full Content Export > Complete text of the priority pages on orchidfoundation.info. Generated 2026-08-21. Index: https://orchidfoundation.info/llms.txt Orchid Education Foundation is an independent medical admission consultancy in Guwahati, Assam, founded in 2008 and led by Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka, MBBS. We guide students from Assam and the wider Northeast through NEET UG and NEET PG counselling — MBBS, BDS, BAMS, MD, MS, MDS, DM and MCh. This site tracks NEET UG 2026 counselling notifications across nineteen states and union territories plus the MCC All India Quota, and states what each notification actually requires. Deadlines and fees are read from the issuing authority's own notification and dated on each page. Where a source document is internally inconsistent or incomplete, we say so rather than filling the gap. Assam has no private medical college. That single fact shapes most of what a Northeast candidate has to plan around, and much of this site exists to answer what follows from it. Contact: 9085064444 / 9085065555. Office: Red Stone, 3F, GS Rd, beside Pantaloons, above ASG Eye Care, Bormotoria, Guwahati, Assam 781022. Open all seven days, 10 AM to 6 PM. - Counselling dates change without notice. Every page carries a "last verified" date; always confirm against the issuing authority's portal before acting. - We are a private consultancy. We are not MCC, NTA, NMC, or any state Directorate of Medical Education. - Figures we could not verify are marked as absent rather than estimated. - Machine-readable tools for agents: https://orchidfoundation.info/.well-known/webmcp.json --- # MCC NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 PwD Portal Active, 2 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/mcc-counselling-2026.html # MCC NEET UG 2026 Counselling — Round 2 PwD Assessment Portal Now Active MCC released the Round 1 Provisional Result on 20 August 2026 under Notice No. 11, and after the grievance window closed, declared the Final Result on 24 August 2026 under Notice No. 14 (Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC). For Round 2, MCC has now activated the PwD assessment portal (2 September) and separately directed institutes with newly added Round 2 seats to verify and freeze them. Registration/payment runs 3–8 September, choice filling/locking to 9 September, and the result is due on 11 September . Every date below, the AIQ closing scores from Round 1, and where this collides with the state deadlines you are already juggling. Last verified · 2 September 2026 · against MCC's two Round 2 notices dated 2 September (Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC) The short answer. MCC NEET UG 2026 Round 1 registration and payment ran 5 to 15 August 2026; choice filling and locking closed 18 August . Seat allotment processed 19–20 August, and MCC released the Provisional Result on 20 August under Notice No. 11. After the grievance window closed 21 August, MCC declared the Final Result on 24 August 2026 under Notice No. 14 — candidates may now report to their allotted college. The schedule points to reporting running 22 to 31 August 2026, though that window nominally opened before the Final Result itself was out, so confirm your own joining deadline on your candidate login rather than assuming 31 August still holds. MCC covers the 15% All India Quota plus 100% of deemed and central universities, AIIMS and JIPMER, for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing. If you were allotted a seat, see the category and PwBD forms you may need and whether to Freeze or Float. MCC has since published the Round 2 schedule : registration/payment 3–8 September, choice filling/locking to 9 September, result on 11 September , reporting/joining 12–18 September. Register only at mcc.nic.in. Notice No. 14, dated 24 August 2026 (Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC) The Final Result is out. Candidates may now proceed to report to their allotted college. Choice filling and locking closed 18 August; seat allotment processed 19–20 August; the Provisional Result for Round 1 was released on 20 August under Notice No. 11; and after the grievance window closed at 3:59 PM on 21 August, MCC declared the Final Result on 24 August 2026 under Notice No. 14. MCC's Round 1 Information Bulletin also introduced the Freeze and Float options for 2026 — read what they mean before you decide how to proceed. You may now travel to your allotted college. MCC's Notice No. 14 states candidates may proceed to report to their allotted college. The schedule below points to a 22–31 August reporting window, though that window nominally opened before the Final Result itself was declared on 24 August — check your candidate login for your own confirmed joining deadline rather than assuming 31 August still holds for everyone. Category candidates (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) and PwBD candidates should also check which forms they will need for reporting — and whether they should Freeze or Float. ## Freeze or Float — What Changed in How You Report Until 2025, every candidate — whether joining a seat for the first time or trying to upgrade from Round 1 to Round 2, or Round 2 to Round 3 — had to physically report to the allotted institute with original documents to complete admission, upgradation or resignation formalities. For 2026, MCC has split candidates into two categories to cut down on unnecessary travel: ### Freeze — no upgradation You are satisfied with your allotted seat and do not want to be considered for upgradation in the next round. You must still visit the allotted institute physically to join. ### Float — willing to upgrade You want to be considered for a better seat in the next round. You give your willingness for upgradation and upload the required documents for online verification by the allotted institute — there is no need to visit the institute physically for this. Read this before you decide. MCC's Notice No. 14, dated 24 August 2026, explicitly points candidates to Chapter 2 of the UG Information Bulletin, “Changes in Allotment, Reporting, Upgradation & Withdrawal (Resignation) of Allotted Seat,” for the full Freeze/Float rules. Choosing Float does not guarantee an upgrade — you keep your current seat if nothing better comes through in the next round, subject to the seat-retention rules in the bulletin. Read the full bulletin on mcc.nic.in before you decide; this is a summary, not a substitute for it. ## The Round 1 Schedule, Stage by Stage All timings are server time. MCC has historically enforced these to the minute. | Stage | Dates | Duration | What you must do | |---|---|---|---| | Verification of tentative seat matrix | 4 August 2026 (done) | 1 day | Nothing — participating institutes do this | | Registration and payment | 5 – 15 August 2026 (closed) Registration closed 3:00 PM on 15 Aug (corrected from 2:00 PM) Payment closed 5:00 PM on 15 Aug | 11 days | Register and pay at mcc.nic.in | | Choice filling | 6 – 18 August 2026 (closed) Extended (Notice No. 10) — closed 11:59 PM on 18 Aug | 13 days | Closed — nothing further to do | | Choice locking | 5:30 PM 17 Aug – 11:59 PM 18 August 2026 (closed) | — | Closed — nothing further to do | | Processing of seat allotment | 19 – 20 August 2026 (revised from 18 Aug only) | 2 days | Nothing — MCC processes this internally | | Provisional Result | 20 August 2026 (Notice No. 11) | 1 day | Check your status; raise any discrepancy by 3:59 PM, 21 Aug | | Grievance window (provisional result only) | Until 3:59 PM, 21 August 2026 (closed) | — | Closed — nothing further to do | | Final Result | 24 August 2026 (Notice No. 14) | 1 day | Out — you may now report to your allotted college | | Reporting and joining | Now open · schedule shows to 31 August 2026 (this window nominally opened 22 Aug, before the 24 Aug Final Result — confirm your own deadline on your candidate login) | — | Report at the allotted college with originals | | Verification of joined candidate data | 1 September 2026 (pushed back from 26 Aug) | 1 day | Nothing — institutes report to MCC | Final means final. The 24 August Final Result supersedes the 20 August provisional list — if your seat changed between the two, the Final Result is the one that counts, not the provisional one. If Round 1 does not work out at all, Round 2 registration for fresh candidates typically opens shortly after Round 1 reporting closes. Breaking · Two MCC Notices, Both Dated 2 September 2026 (Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC) PwD candidates: the Round 2 medical assessment portal is now active. All candidates applying under the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) category are informed that the PwD portal for Round-2 of UG Counselling 2026 is active. The Primary Medical Assessment Board will assess candidates who report by 10:30 AM, 5 September 2026 , with assessment to be completed by 6:00 PM, 6 September 2026 . The Appellate Medical Assessment Board will separately assess candidates who report by 12:00 Noon, 8 September 2026 . Visit your Primary Medical Assessment Centre within the stipulated time as per the revised Round-2 schedule, and make sure your assessment details generate correctly on the MCC portal. Institutes: newly added Round 2 seats must be verified and frozen. A separate notice, issued the same day under the same reference number, tells participating institutes with new seats added for Round 2 to log in with their PIADMIN User ID, verify the Programme, Quota, Seat Intake and Total Seats shown against their institute, correct any discrepancy, and complete the Final Seat Matrix Freeze within the prescribed timeline — a seat not verified and frozen in time may not be included in the Round 2 seat matrix. The attached list of newly added seats includes several colleges relevant to Northeast India candidates, among them Bongaigaon Medical College, Assam (100 NMC-approved MBBS seats, 15 under All India Quota) and Tomo Riba Institute of Health & Medical Sciences, Naharlagun, Arunachal Pradesh (100 NMC-approved seats, 15 AIQ) — both still shown as unfrozen as of this notice. A word on the notice numbering: both notices above are labelled “Notice No. 18” under the same reference and the same date, despite covering entirely different subjects (PwD assessment and seat-matrix freeze). That appears to be MCC issuing two separate notices that share a number, not an error on our part — if you're checking the portal yourself, look at the subject line, not just the notice number, to find the right one. ## The Round 2 Schedule, Stage by Stage All timings are server time. Same directive as Round 1: all participating institutes must treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days for this schedule. | Stage | Dates | Duration | What you must do | |---|---|---|---| | Verification of tentative seat matrix | 1 – 2 September 2026 (institutes with newly added seats must separately verify/freeze via PIADMIN, per Notice No. 18, 2 Sept) | 2 days | Nothing for candidates — participating institutes do this | | Registration and payment | 3 – 8 September 2026 Registration closes 3:00 PM, 8 Sept Payment facility open to 6:00 PM, 8 Sept | 6 days | Register and pay at mcc.nic.in | | Choice filling | 3 – 9 September 2026 (available to 10:00 AM, 9 Sept) | 7 days | Fill and order your choices at mcc.nic.in | | Choice locking | 4:00 PM, 8 Sept – 10:00 AM, 9 September 2026 | — | Lock your final choice order before the window closes | | Processing of seat allotment | 9 – 10 September 2026 | 2 days | Nothing — MCC processes this internally | | Result | 11 September 2026 | 1 day | Check your status on your candidate login | | Reporting and joining | 12 – 18 September 2026 | 7 days | Report at the allotted college with originals | | Verification of joined candidate data | 19 September 2026 | 1 day | Nothing — institutes report to MCC | State counselling now lines up with this too. A separate MCC schedule confirms state counselling authorities run their own Round 2 process 7–11 September 2026, share the same 18 September last date of joining, and verify their own joined-candidate data on 19 September — the same day as MCC. Covers the 15% All India Quota and 100% of deemed/central university, AFMC, AIIMS and JIPMER (Puducherry & Karaikal) seats, for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing. ## MCC and State Counselling, Side by Side The full NEET UG 2026 admission calendar for All India Quota, deemed and central universities, alongside the state counselling windows they run against. | Stage | AIQ / Deemed & Central Universities | MCC verifies joined data | State Counselling | State DMEs verify | |---|---|---|---|---| | Round 1 | 4 – 24 August 2026 (Final Result out, Notice No. 14) | 1 September 2026 | 13 – 22 August 2026 | 29 August 2026 | | Last date of joining | 31 August 2026 (was 25 Aug) | — | 28 August 2026 | — | | Round 2 | 1 – 11 September 2026 (seat matrix verification 1–2 Sept; registration/payment 3–8 Sept; choice filling/locking to 9 Sept; result 11 Sept) | 19 September 2026 | 7 – 11 September 2026 (revised) | 19 September 2026 (revised) | | Last date of joining | 18 September 2026 (was 8 Sept) | — | 18 September 2026 (was 14 Sept) | — | | Round 3 | 10 – 18 September 2026 | 27 September 2026 | 16 – 26 September 2026 | 2 October 2026 | | Last date of joining | 26 September 2026 | — | 1 October 2026 | — | | Stray vacancy round | 28 September – 3 October 2026 | Allotted-candidate data shared by MCC on 3 October 2026 | 3 – 5 October 2026 | — | | Last date of joining | 10 October 2026 | — | 10 October 2026 | — | | Academic session begins | 8 September 2026 for all UG courses | | | | Two notes printed on the schedule itself. First, all participating institutes and colleges are directed to treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days, given how little time the cycle has left. Do not assume anything pauses for a weekend. Second, state DMEs and state counselling authorities will share joined-candidate data with MCC so duplicate holdings can be weeded out during Round 3 seat processing — which is why holding a seat in two places quietly does not work. One oddity worth planning around. The academic session for UG courses commences on 8 September 2026, but Round 3 joining runs to 26 September and stray vacancy joining to 10 October. A candidate admitted in a later round joins a class already several weeks old. That is not a reason to gamble on a later round hoping for a better college. Resolved — MCC has now published the Round 2 schedule, and it lines up with state counselling too. AIQ/deemed: seat matrix verification 1–2 September (after Round 1 joining closes 31 August), registration and payment 3–8 September (payment facility open to 6:00 PM, 8 September, server time), choice filling to 10:00 AM on 9 September and choice locking from 4:00 PM on 8 September to 10:00 AM on 9 September, seat allotment processing 9–10 September, the result on 11 September , reporting/joining 12–18 September, and MCC verifies joined-candidate data on 19 September. A separate MCC schedule confirms state counselling Round 2 runs 7–11 September, with the same 18 September last date of joining and 19 September joined-candidate verification. This covers 15% AIQ and 100% deemed/central university/AFMC/AIIMS/JIPMER (Puducherry & Karaikal) seats for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing. ## Where MCC Collides With the Deadlines You Are Already Chasing | Date | MCC | Also happening | |---|---|---| | 5 August | Round 1 registration opened | — | | 6 August | Choice filling opened | State counselling notices began circulating nationally | | 7 August | Choice filling continued | ZMC Mizoram NRI quota closed | | 12 August | Registration and choice filling continued under the revised schedule | Gujarat ACPUGMEC closed; CENTAC Puducherry reopened for fresh applications | | 13 August | MCC Notice No. 08 revised the whole Round 1 schedule | State counselling Round 1 began in most states | | 14 August | Registration and choice filling continued | CENTAC Puducherry closed again, 5:00 PM | | 15 August | Registration and payment closed, 3:00–5:00 PM | Independence Day — most state offices closed | | 17–18 August | Choice locking opened 5:30 PM 17 Aug; filling extended to and closed at 11:59 PM 18 Aug (Notice No. 10) | NEIGRIHMS Shillong MBBS applications closed 17 Aug; Karnataka KEA mock allotment published 17 Aug | | 19–20 August | Seat allotment processing, then Provisional Result released 20 Aug (Notice No. 11) | Karnataka KEA's real binding Round 1 allotment was due 19 Aug; Uttarakhand Round 1 registration closed 19 Aug, 5 PM | | 21 August | Grievance window on provisional result closed, 3:59 PM. | Watch mcc.nic.in and your candidate login through the day | | 24 August — Final Result | Final Result declared (Notice No. 14). Candidates may now report to their allotted college | Northeast state DMEs still catching up to MCC's own revised schedule — see Assam | | 22 – 31 August | Reporting and joining (window nominally opened before the 24 Aug Final Result) | State Round 1 reporting overlaps in several states; NEIGRIHMS Shillong 1st Counselling is 22 August | | 3 – 9 September | Round 2 registration/payment (3–8 Sept) and choice filling/locking (to 9 Sept) | Watch your own state's Round 2 window — most run 31 August to 8 September | | 11 September — Round 2 Result | Result declared ; reporting/joining follows 12–18 September | Academic session begins 8 September for all UG courses regardless of round | The Final Result is out (24 August, Notice No. 14) and supersedes the 20 August provisional list. If you are tracking more than one counselling authority from Guwahati, check each portal separately — MCC and your state authority are on entirely different servers, on entirely different timetables, and a state such as Assam is still catching up to MCC's own revised schedule. Reporting is open now. MCC's schedule points to a window running to 31 August — comfortable time from Guwahati to reach a college in Karnataka or Tamil Nadu including document collection, provided you book travel promptly rather than waiting. Have your originals ready: Class 10 and 12 certificates, NEET admit card and scorecard, category certificate in MCC's proforma if applicable, and passport photographs — see the full document checklist and downloadable forms . ## What Is Actually On Offer Through MCC ### 15% All India Quota Seats surrendered by state government medical and dental colleges into the national pool. No domicile bar at all — the single most valuable route for a Northeast candidate with a strong rank, because it puts you in the same queue as everyone else on rank alone. ### Deemed universities — 100% Every seat in participating deemed universities is filled by MCC. Fees are substantially higher than government colleges, so check the total five-year cost including hostel before you fill a single choice. ### Central universities, AIIMS, JIPMER Central university seats, AIIMS institutions, and JIPMER at both Puducherry and Karaikal, all through the same MCC process. Rank requirements here are the steepest in the country. ### MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing All three courses run through this schedule. If you are weighing BDS seriously as well as MBBS, fill both in one choice list rather than treating them as separate plans. ## Where AIQ Round 1 Actually Closed This Year Once a provisional result is out, the qualifying floor (213 marks) stops mattering and the real number is where each category's last seat closed. Based on OEF's tracking of MCC's AIQ Round 1 provisional data, released 20 August 2026, against the two years before it. | Category | 2024 AIR / Score | 2025 AIR / Score | 2026 AIR / Score | |---|---|---|---| | MBBS — Round 1 (last cut-off) | | | | | UR | 19,603 / 660 | 21,190 / 534 | 22,342 / 572 | | EWS | 23,419 / 654 | 25,599 / 528 | 27,179 / 564 | | OBC | 20,281 / 658 | 21,452 / 534 | 23,075 / 571 | | SC | 105,676 / 575 | 110,389 / 457 | 104,921 / 489 | | ST | 145,207 / 544 | 145,625 / 436 | 132,111 / 471 | | BDS — Round 1 (last cut-off) | | | | | UR | 36,972 / 638 | 38,223 / 513 | 41,017 / 545 | | EWS | 40,810 / 635 | 48,617 / 503 | 45,421 / 540 | | OBC | 40,425 / 635 | 41,398 / 510 | 42,260 / 544 | | SC | 157,801 / 534 | 157,338 / 429 | 153,140 / 458 | | ST | 210,456 / 496 | 206,111 / 402 | 177,533 / 445 | Read this as a provisional signal, not a promise. These are last-seat AIR and score figures from the 20 August 2026 provisional result, before the Final Result and before Round 2/3 typically push closing ranks further out. MBBS UR closed at score 572 this year, up from 534 in 2025 but well below 2024's 660 — a reminder that comparing across years only works if you also account for how each year's paper was scored. SC and ST scores fell versus 2025 even as their AIR numbers moved, because more seats were available at those ranks this cycle. Treat this table as a planning reference for Round 2 choice-filling, not as confirmation of your own Round 1 outcome — check your candidate login for that. What "closing rank" means here — read the fine print. The UR/OBC/EWS rows above are the closing rank at established, sought-after government colleges — roughly the 95th-percentile college, which is how most rank trackers report "closing rank" and the number worth planning around. It is not the single worst seat filled anywhere in the country. We cross-checked MCC's full Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment data (29,945 rows, exported 21 August 2026, 5:59 PM) ourselves: the true last seat this year went far deeper at a handful of newly-established, less sought-after government medical colleges still filling Round 1 — Open-category MBBS seats went all the way to All India Rank 6,97,663 (Government Medical College, Eluru), OBC to 8,85,241 , and EWS to 10,47,558 ; BDS Open, OBC and EWS all reached similarly deep, past AIR 10,80,000. SC and ST figures in the table above are different — those already are the true, full-range maximum (verified exact match against our cross-check: 104,921 MBBS-SC, 132,111 MBBS-ST, 153,140 BDS-SC, 177,533 BDS-ST), because reserved-category seats this year didn't develop the same long tail. If your AIR is well above the headline UR/OBC/EWS numbers above, don't assume AIQ is closed to you — a government MBBS or BDS seat at one of these newer colleges may still be within reach. Send us your rank and we'll tell you honestly where it stands. Medical Counselling Committee, Directorate General of Health Services. “Schedule for Online Counseling (Allotment Process) for NEET 15% AIQ and 100% Deemed/Central Universities/AIIMS Institutions/JIPMER (Puducherry & Karaikal) — for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing Course for the Academic Year 2026”, together with Notice No. 11 (Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC), dated 20 August 2026, announcing the Round 1 Provisional Result, and Notice No. 14 (same Ref.), dated 24 August 2026, declaring the Round 1 Final Result and stating candidates may now report to their allotted college.

AIQ Round 1 closing-rank figures are OEF's own compilation from MCC's published provisional result data, cross-checked against 2024 and 2025 official results; they are not an MCC-issued table. Verify every date and rank on the official portal before you act — MCC revises schedules and results mid-cycle, and it does so without warning. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 25 August 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment or the accuracy of any provisional result, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes to both, and MCC issued two separate notices on 2 September 2026 covering them. First, the PwD (Persons with Disabilities) assessment portal for Round 2 is now active: the Primary Medical Assessment Board assesses candidates who report by 10:30 AM, 5 September 2026, with assessment completed by 6:00 PM, 6 September; the Appellate Medical Assessment Board separately assesses candidates who report by 12:00 Noon, 8 September. Second, institutes with newly added Round 2 seats — including Bongaigaon Medical College, Assam, and Tomo Riba Institute, Naharlagun, Arunachal Pradesh, both relevant to Northeast India candidates — must verify and freeze those seats through their PIADMIN login within the prescribed timeline, or the seats may not be included in the Round 2 matrix. Both notices are numbered “Notice No. 18” under the same reference, which appears to be MCC’s own numbering overlap rather than an error here — check the subject line on the portal, not just the number. 5 August 2026. Under the latest revision (dated 19 August 2026, File No. U-11011/07/2026-MEC), it closed at 3:00 PM on 15 August 2026 — a correction from the 2:00 PM close stated in the prior revision (Notice No. 08, 13 August). The payment facility stayed open slightly longer, until 5:00 PM on 15 August. Verification of the tentative seat matrix by participating institutes happened a day earlier, on 4 August 2026. That window is now closed. Under Notice No. 10, posted 17 August 2026, choice filling for Round 1 was extended a full day and closed at 11:59 PM on 18 August 2026 , up from the same-day 6:00 PM close. Choice locking opened earlier the same day, from 5:30 PM on 17 August , and ran alongside filling; MCC did not state a separate closing time for locking, so it is treated as having closed when filling closed. Both are now closed and were not reopened by MCC's 19 August update. The Final Result is out. MCC released the Round 1 Provisional Result on 20 August 2026 under Notice No. 11; after the grievance window closed at 3:59 PM on 21 August 2026, MCC declared the Round 1 Final Result on 24 August 2026 under Notice No. 14 (Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC). Candidates may now proceed to report to their allotted college with original documents. The schedule points to a reporting window running 22 to 31 August 2026, though that window nominally opened before the Final Result itself was declared on 24 August — check your candidate login and mcc.nic.in directly for your own confirmed joining deadline rather than assuming 31 August still holds for everyone. Freeze means you are satisfied with your allotted seat and do not want to be considered for upgradation in the next round; you must still visit the allotted institute physically to join. Float means you want to be considered for a better seat in the next round; you give your willingness for upgradation and upload documents for online verification, with no need to visit the institute physically for that step. This Freeze/Float system is new for 2026, introduced under Chapter 2 of the UG Information Bulletin and referenced in MCC's Notice No. 14 dated 24 August 2026. Read the full bulletin on mcc.nic.in before deciding, since Float does not guarantee an upgrade and you keep your current seat if nothing better comes through. The 15% All India Quota in government medical and dental colleges, plus 100% of seats in deemed universities, central universities, AIIMS institutions and JIPMER at Puducherry and Karaikal, for MBBS, BDS and B.Sc Nursing. There is no domicile requirement anywhere in it. For a candidate from Assam, Nagaland, Manipur or anywhere else in the Northeast, this is the one national process where your home state neither helps nor hurts you — only your All India Rank counts. Yes. MCC and state counselling run on separate calendars, separate portals and separate fees, and MCC registration gives you nothing in your home state. The two overlap heavily in 2026: most state Round 1 windows closed between 13 and 20 August while MCC Round 1 reporting, under the latest revised schedule, now runs 22 to 31 August. Plan for both at once, because the schedule does not give you the option of doing one and then the other. ## Choice Filling Decides More Than Your Rank Does. A well-ordered choice list turns an average rank into a seat you can live with; a careless one wastes a good rank entirely. Send us your All India Rank and category and we will work through the order with you. Free. --- # MCC NEET UG 2026 Allotment Forms — Category & PwBD PDFs Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/mcc-neet-ug-2026-allotment-forms.html # Allotted Through MCC? Here Are Your Forms — One at a Time MCC does not hand allotted candidates a single form. It hands them a 113-page Information Bulletin, and the one page they actually need is buried somewhere past page 90. We pulled out the nine forms candidates actually download and fill after allotment — three category-certificate proformas and six PwBD self-declaration affidavits — as separate, one-click PDFs. Below that, the new Freeze vs Float reporting system explained in plain language, the exact document checklist, and the real refundable-deposit numbers by seat type. Last verified · 21 August 2026 · against MCC's Information Bulletin dated 20 August 2026 The short answer. If MCC has allotted you a seat, the two things to sort out immediately are: (1) which forms your category needs — download them individually below, don't fill your details into the whole bulletin by hand — and (2) whether you are going to Freeze (report physically, no upgrade attempt) or Float (stay online, try for a better seat next round). Freeze candidates must physically reach the allotted college with original documents; Float candidates do everything — document upload, provisional joining, resignation if upgraded — through their MCC login, with zero travel, right up until Round 3, after which physical reporting becomes compulsory for everyone. Category candidates (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS) need the certificate in MCC's exact prescribed format, not any caste or income certificate you already have. PwBD candidates need the matching disability-specific affidavit, notarised, plus the Eligibility Certificate from MCC's Medical Assessment Board. ## Freeze or Float — The Choice MCC Now Makes You Take In every earlier NEET UG cycle, an allotted candidate either joined a seat physically or let it go. From 2026, MCC has split that into two clearly defined tracks after every round of allotment. ### Freeze — you're happy with this seat You do not want to be considered for upgradation in the next round. You must physically report at the allotted Medical/Dental college with your original documents, get them verified in person by the college, and complete joining formalities there. There is nothing to do online beyond the one-time scanned-document upload every candidate, Freeze or Float, must complete on the MCC portal. ### Float — you want a shot at a better seat You give your willingness for upgradation online and do not travel anywhere. The allotted college's nodal officer verifies your uploaded documents online, MCC generates a provisional joining/admission letter online, and if you get upgraded in the next round your earlier seat is released automatically — with no claim on it. If you decide to resign instead of floating further, that is also done online, through Candidate Login → Withdrawal (Resignation). Round 3 ends the online option for everyone. After the Round 3 provisional allotment result, physical reporting at the allotted institute becomes mandatory for every Round 3 allottee, and for every Float candidate from Round 1 or Round 2 who did not get upgraded. Once you join a Round 3 seat, MCC will not allow you to resign or exit under any circumstance — the only way out at that stage is walking away before joining, which forfeits your full security deposit. Free Exit is a different thing entirely. A candidate allotted a seat in Round 1 who simply never joins it — doesn't Freeze, doesn't Float, doesn't report — can walk away with no forfeiture, under MCC's Free Exit provision. That is only available before joining. Once you have joined (Freeze) or been provisionally admitted online (Float, then upgraded and joined), any later exit costs your full security deposit, and after Round 3, exit is not permitted at all. ## The Refundable Security Deposit, By Seat Type MCC's fee structure is not one number — it depends on which pool of seats you are registering for, and your category, within the government-seat pool. | Seat pool | Category | Non-refundable registration fee | Refundable security deposit | |---|---|---|---| | 15% AIQ / Central Universities (DU, AMU, BHU, Jamia)/ AFMC / ESIC / AIIMS / JIPMER / B.Sc Nursing | UR / EWS | Rs 1,000 | Rs 10,000 | | SC / ST / OBC / PwD | Rs 500 | Rs 5,000 | | | Deemed Universities | All categories | Rs 5,000 | Rs 2,00,000 | Applying for both? If you register for both a government-quota seat (AIQ/Central/AIIMS/JIPMER etc.) and a Deemed University seat, MCC does not charge you both fee sets — you pay only the higher one, which is the Deemed University fee (Rs 5,000 + Rs 2,00,000). MCC does not pay interest on the refundable portion, and once you have registered, that registration is treated as “service rendered” — the registration fee itself is never refunded regardless of outcome. The security deposit is refunded only to the account it was paid from; NRI-account holders must route funds through an NRO account first, since MCC cannot refund directly to an NRI account under RBI rules. ## Your Forms, Not the Whole 113-Page Bulletin Each button below is one form, extracted from MCC's own 20 August 2026 Information Bulletin, exactly as MCC prescribes it. Fill in a few quick details first — free, takes 10 seconds — so we can also flag if you've picked the wrong form for your category. ### Category & Reservation Certificate Proformas ### SC / ST Caste Certificate Annexure 3 For candidates claiming Scheduled Caste or Scheduled Tribe reservation. Must be on this exact proforma, issued by a competent authority, in English or Hindi. ### OBC-NCL Certificate Annexure 4 For OBC candidates in the Central List, non-creamy layer. Must confirm the family's non-creamy-layer status for the financial year ending 31 March 2026. ### EWS Certificate Annexure 5 For Economically Weaker Section candidates, family income below Rs 8 lakh a year and within the specified asset limits. Needs a recent passport photo affixed. ### PwBD Disability Self-Declaration Affidavits Every PwBD candidate fills Appendix A first. It then points you to exactly one of Appendix B–F depending on disability type — you generally need only two of these six forms, not all of them. ### Self-Certification Affidavit Appendix A Filled by every PwBD applicant first, regardless of disability type. Declares your disability category and NEET details, and directs you to the matching Appendix below. ### Hearing Impairment Appendix B For candidates declaring hearing loss, with or without a hearing aid or cochlear implant. ### Locomotor — Upper Extremity Appendix C For locomotor disability affecting coordinated activity of the arms and hands — writing, buttoning, holding instruments. ### Locomotor — Lower Extremity Appendix D For locomotor disability affecting standing, walking or stability — the lower-limb equivalent of Appendix C. Revised vide UGMEB corrigendum dated 31.07.2026. ### Mental Illness / SLD / ASD Appendix E For mental illness, specific learning disorder or autism spectrum disorder — covers communication, comprehension and social-interaction competencies. ### Visual Impairment Appendix F For candidates using a Low Vision Aid, declaring corrected visual acuity, field of vision and hands-free usability criteria are met. Also carry the Eligibility Certificate. Beyond the self-declaration affidavit, every PwBD candidate needs an Eligibility Certificate (Schedule-II) issued by one of MCC's designated Medical Assessment Boards after physical assessment — this one is issued to you, not filled by you, so it isn't listed as a download here. The nearest boards for Northeast candidates are Gauhati Medical College and Assam Medical College Dibrugarh, Silchar Medical College, Government Medical College Agartala/Tripura State Disability Board, RIMS Imphal, Zoram Medical College Falkawn (Mizoram), and NEIGRIHMS Shillong. A candidate declared ineligible can appeal to one of five Appellate Disability Assessment Boards, including Banaras Hindu University and IPGMER Kolkata, by emailing disabilityappeal-chair@gov.in and disabilityappeal-convener@gov.in before their counselling round begins. ## What to Physically Carry When You Report | # | Document | |---|---| | 1 | Allotment letter issued by MCC | | 2 | NTA admit card | | 3 | NTA result / rank letter | | 4 | Date of birth certificate (if Class 10 certificate doesn't show it) | | 5 | Class 10 certificate | | 6 | Class 12 certificate | | 7 | Class 12 marksheet | | 8 | Eight passport-size photographs, matching the one on your application form | | 9 | Photo ID — Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence or passport | | 10 | Category certificate in MCC's proforma (SC/ST/OBC-NCL/EWS), if claiming reservation — download above | | 11 | PwBD Eligibility Certificate from the Medical Assessment Board, if applicable | Originals only, and not previously deposited elsewhere. MCC's bulletin is explicit: a candidate without original documents will not be permitted to take admission, and a candidate who shows up with a certificate stating their originals are “deposited with another institute” will also be turned away. If a certificate is in a regional language, carry a certified English or Hindi translation alongside the original. If there's a spelling mismatch between your documents and your application form, carry a notarised affidavit explaining it.

How to use this page. This page was checked against MCC's Information Bulletin dated 20 August 2026. Forms are reproduced as individual PDFs for convenience, exactly as MCC has published them — we have not altered their content. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm, not an agent of MCC or any counselling authority, and cannot influence any allotment or certificate approval. Always cross-check the current version of any form against mcc.nic.in before you submit it. ## Questions Allotted Candidates Ask Us It's a new-for-2026 choice every allotted candidate makes after each round. Freeze means you are happy with your allotted seat and do not want to try for an upgrade in the next round — you must physically report at the allotted college with original documents, get them verified in person, and formally join. Float means you want a chance at a better seat in the next round — you do everything online through your MCC candidate login (document upload, provisional joining, and later resignation if you get upgraded) and you do not need to travel to the college at all while floating. You cannot float after Round 3; every Round 3 allottee, and every Round 1/2 float candidate who did not get upgraded, must physically report in person after the Round 3 result. No, not while they remain in float status. Float candidates upload scanned documents online, the college's nodal officer verifies them online, and MCC generates a provisional joining or admission letter online. If the candidate is upgraded to a better seat in the next round, the earlier seat is automatically released with no claim on it and no need to visit that college. Physical travel becomes compulsory only after Round 3 — every Round 3 allottee and every un-upgraded float candidate from an earlier round must then report in person. Per MCC's 2026 Information Bulletin: the MCC allotment letter, NTA admit card, NTA result/rank letter, Class 10 certificate (date of birth proof), Class 10 certificate, Class 12 certificate, Class 12 marksheet, eight passport-size photographs matching the one on the application form, and a photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, driving licence or passport). Candidates claiming SC, ST, OBC-NCL or EWS reservation must also carry the category certificate in MCC's prescribed proforma, in English or Hindi, and PwBD candidates must carry their Eligibility Certificate from MCC's Medical Assessment Board. Candidates without original documents are not permitted to take admission. Yes, it is tiered by seat type. For the 15% All India Quota, central universities, AFMC, ESIC, AIIMS, JIPMER and B.Sc Nursing: registration fee is Rs 1,000 (UR/EWS) or Rs 500 (SC/ST/OBC/PwD), with a refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000 (UR/EWS) or Rs 5,000 (SC/ST/OBC/PwD). For deemed universities, every candidate pays a flat Rs 5,000 registration fee plus a refundable Rs 2,00,000 security deposit. A candidate applying for both pays only the higher fee set. MCC's Information Bulletin publishes an exact prescribed proforma for each — Annexure 3 for SC/ST, Annexure 4 for OBC-NCL, Annexure 5 for EWS, and Appendices A through F for PwBD self-declaration affidavits by disability type. A certificate not in this format risks rejection at reporting. Each of these nine forms is available as an individual PDF download on this page. It depends on the round. After Round 1 or Round 2, a candidate who joined and then wants out can exit, but only with forfeiture of the full security deposit. After Round 3, exit is not permitted at all — once you join a Round 3 seat, MCC will not entertain resignation. This is separate from Free Exit, which applies only to a candidate allotted a seat in Round 1 who never joined it at all; such a candidate can walk away without forfeiture, but only before joining. ## One Wrong Form Can Cost You the Seat You Already Won. Category certificates on the wrong proforma, a missing PwBD affidavit, or reporting instead of floating when you should have floated — we see all three cost seats every single cycle. Send us your allotment details and category, and we'll tell you exactly what to carry and whether to Freeze or Float. Free. --- # NEET UG 2026 Counselling Tracker — Live State-by-State Status Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/neet-counselling-2026.html # NEET UG 2026 Counselling — Every Deadline, One Page Results are now landing faster than most families can track. MCC declared its AIQ Round 1 Final Result on 24 August and, for candidates who chose FLOAT, followed up on 29 August with an hour-by-hour reporting schedule running to 1 September. In the same week, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur both declared their Round 1 seat allotment results, and Karnataka , Telangana and Puducherry all moved to their next stage. A dozen other states — Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh and more — have revised their own Round 1 schedules at least once this cycle, some more than once. None of that belongs crammed into one paragraph; it is all in the status board below, state by state, with a link through to the full detail and the official portal. Read that table before you act on any date here. Last verified · 6 September 2026 · against official counselling portals · see the status board for each state's own last-checked date The short answer, as of 1 September. No two states are at the same stage right now. West Bengal, Tripura and Uttarakhand all published Round 1 results in the last two days, Puducherry put out a fresh draft merit list for its management-quota NRI and national candidates, Meghalaya's state-quota counselling is running through 3 September, Gujarat has opened a Round 2 for candidates who sat out Round 1, and Jharkhand has a Round 2 open for vacant seats at four named colleges. Bihar's document-verification deadline just moved to today. That is eight moving parts in about 48 hours, on top of everything already settled for Arunachal Pradesh, Manipur, Karnataka, Telangana and MCC's own AIQ round. Every one of these runs its own registration with its own fee — registering with one gets you nothing in the others. Rather than repeat 25 separate timelines in prose here, where they go stale within days, the status board just below lists what is open, what has closed, and the next deadline for every state, each linked to its own page and its own last-checked date. Confirm anything you are about to act on there, or call OEF on 9085064444. ## The 2026 Cycle Is Not Like Any Previous Year Why this matters to you. Because the result came two months late, several state authorities opened and closed their registration windows within days of each other in the last fortnight of July. A family that assumed “counselling starts in August like always” has already missed Karnataka and Mizoram state quota. Read the board below before you assume anything about a deadline. ## What Is Open, What Has Closed Refreshed 7 September 2026: Kerala's row now carries KEAM's Second Phase allotment — online option confirmation is mandatory by 11 September, 10:00 AM, for candidates wanting higher-order options considered or with no First Phase allotment; admitted candidates may vacate their First Phase seat by 10 September, 5:00 PM, but forgo further rounds by doing so; a new seat matrix was also approved for three self-financing colleges (G.O.(Ms)No.251/2026/H&FWD). Telangana's row now carries the BDS Round 1 allotment under Competent Authority Quota, reporting by 11 September, 4:00 PM, and the Management Quota Ineligible Candidates List, with grievances due by 9 September, 12:00 Noon.

Rajasthan's page was re-checked against the fuller official Round 2 notice and corrected: the notice does not state that candidates who already paid the security deposit in Round 1 are exempt in Round 2, so that claim has been removed rather than assumed. Refreshed 6 September 2026: Karnataka's row now carries KEA's Second Round Seat Allotment (Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, dated 6 September) — option entry 7–9 September, 2 PM to 2 PM, for Round 1 Choice-2/Choice-3 candidates, unallotted candidates, and eligible UGCET Round 2 Choice-4 candidates; Round 1 is complete. Tamil Nadu's row now carries the Selection Committee's Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule — registration and payment 7–8 September, choice filling and locking 9–13 September, result 15 September, joining by 18 September; Round 1 (result 27 August) is complete.

Rajasthan's row now carries the Round 2 schedule notified 5 September — already-registered candidates skip re-registration, fresh registration 6–8 September, security deposit and choice filling 7–10 September, result 14 September, reporting 15–18 September. Andhra Pradesh's row flags that Management Quota (B1/B2) no-late-fee registration closes today, 6 September, 9 PM, with a late-fee window tomorrow. Karnataka's NEET MDS row now carries KEA's Round 1 seat allotment schedule, issued 5 September — option entry 5–7 September, provisional result 9 September, final result 10 September. Kerala's row now reflects CEE's Final NRI Category List, published 3 September. Arunachal Pradesh's row reflects a Round 2 result uploaded to apdhte.nic.in on 5 September, and Telangana's row reflects a Competent Authority Quota Round 1 allotment result uploaded the same day. On 5 September: Assam's row now carries DME Assam's Round 2 counselling notice (No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/1221) — Round 1 registrants go straight to choice filling with no fresh registration needed, new candidates register 6–9 September, choice-locking 9 September, result 11 September, reporting/joining 17–18 September; Round 1 admissions are now complete. Chhattisgarh's row now carries CG DME's Round 2 counselling schedule (Order No. 1555, dated 4 September) — 1,304 vacant MBBS/BDS seats statewide, fresh online application and institute selection 5–8 September, and choice filling and locking 5–9 September; Round 1 is confirmed complete. On 4 September: West Bengal's row now carries WBMCC's Round 2 schedule (Memo No. 2262) — registration 7–9 September, choice filling 12–14 September, reporting 16–18 September — and Punjab's row now carries BFUHS's draft Round 2 schedule, dated 3 September, with fresh registration to 5 September and reporting 16–18 September. Jharkhand's row now reflects JCECEB's extension of the State Merit List category-correction window to 6 PM, 5 September (Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-78). On 3 September: Karnataka's row reflected KEA's extension of the choice-selection, fee-payment and reporting deadlines to 4–5 September (Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026) for candidates who hadn't yet acted. Madhya Pradesh's row now carries DME Bhopal's Second Round schedule, issued 3 September, after Round 1 admission closed the same day. Uttar Pradesh's row now reflects DGME's binding choice-filling rules (Notice No. ME-3/UG-2026/1610) — mandatory choice-lock, no changes after locking, and nodal-centre admission for private colleges. Himachal Pradesh's row now reflects AMRU's one-day extension of the Round 1 admission deadline, to 4 September. On 2 September: Haryana's row reflected UHSR Rohtak's Round 1 allotment result (after grievance redressal) and the category-wise document verification schedule (Notice No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01) — report by 9 Sept, 4 PM. Himachal Pradesh's row now carries AMRU's Round 2 schedule, issued 2 September, after Round 1 completed on its original dates. Andhra Pradesh's row now reflects both NTRUHS's new Management Quota (B1/B2) Detailed Notification (registration open 2–6 September, late fee to 7 Sept) and the Competent Authority Quota Phase-1 state-quota allotment, now published. Assam's row reflects DME Assam's Round 1 provisional select list (Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196, dated 2 Sept) — PwD verification 3–4 Sept at GMCH Bhangagarh, general reporting to the allotted college 4–5 Sept with admission/counselling fees of roughly ₹25,000. Uttar Pradesh's row carries the full Round 1 sequence — choice filling to 5 Sept, seat allotment result 7 Sept, admission 8–14 Sept — per DGME UP Notice No. ME-3/2026/1605. Telangana, NEIGRIHMS and Kerala rows were also brought back in sync with their own state pages, which had moved on without this board being updated to match — Telangana's Management Quota reopening (2–4 Sept) is the newest of those. On 1 September: Meghalaya, Uttarakhand, West Bengal, Tripura, Bihar, Gujarat, Puducherry, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh rows were updated against official notices published 31 August–1 September. Authorities revise these dates without notice — always confirm on the official portal linked in each state page.

No domicile requirement, which makes this the single most useful route for a Northeast student with a strong rank. ### 85% State Quota The bulk of government seats, reserved for domicile holders of that state. Assam students apply in Assam, Nagaland students in Nagaland. You cannot buy your way into another state's domicile quota, and anyone who says otherwise is lying to you. ### Management Quota, Private Private and self-financing colleges fill a large share of seats on NEET merit among applicants who registered with the state committee. Open to out-of-state candidates in most states. Any qualifying NEET score is eligible; the fee is what decides. ### NRI and NRI-Sponsored A defined share of private seats, priced in a higher bracket and requiring documented NRI relationship. Gujarat, Puducherry and Mizoram all run separate NRI application streams with their own deadlines and their own paperwork. ## Four Things That Cost NE Students Seats Every Single Year ### Registering in the wrong quota An Assam-domicile student paying to register for Kerala state quota is spending money on a seat category that is legally closed to them. Non-Keralites fall in NK-II and can only compete for management and NRI seats in self-financing colleges. Check the quota before the fee, not after. ### Certificates that are not ready ST(H), ST(P), OBC/MOBC, PRC, domicile, Tribal Area Certificate, income certificate for EWS — these take weeks in district offices across the NE, and no counselling authority accepts an application receipt in place of the certificate. Start the paperwork now, not when the merit list appears. ### Missing a deadline by travelling Several of these processes still need physical submission — CENTAC document verification in Puducherry, ZMC forms at the Technical Wing in Aizawl, NEIGRIHMS counselling in Shillong in person. Book travel around the notified date, and read the notice for who must appear and who need not. ### Losing the security deposit Accept a seat in a later round and fail to join, and a deposit of ₹1–3 lakh is gone in most states. Gujarat alone holds ₹10,000 refundable per candidate. OEF's whole strategy is built around getting a family to a decision they will actually honour in Round 1. Read the deposit guide → ## State-by-State Pages ### Karnataka — KEA Round 1 complete. Second Round Seat Allotment option entry opens 7–9 September (Note dated 6 September) for Choice-2/3 candidates, unallotted candidates, and eligible Choice-4 candidates from UGCET Round 2. ### Kerala — CEE First Phase complete. Second Phase allotment now open: online option confirmation mandatory by 11 September, 10 AM; vacate a First Phase seat by 10 September, 5 PM.

How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 21 August 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Registration and payment closed 15 August; choice filling and locking closed 18 August, 11:59 PM. MCC released the Round 1 Provisional Result on 20 August 2026 under Notice No. 11 — but candidates cannot claim any right over the seat shown, the provisional result cannot be challenged in court, and any discrepancy must be raised by 3:59 PM on 21 August through the Candidates Grievances and Query Redressal System. MCC has explicitly told candidates not to approach their allotted college until the Final Result, for which no date has been announced. Reporting is expected to run 22 to 31 August once it is out. Round 2, Round 3 and the stray vacancy round have not been revised; their originally published dates (Round 2: 24 August to 2 September, Round 3: 10 to 18 September, stray vacancy: 28 September to 3 October) may still shift once the Final Result timeline is clear — confirm at mcc.nic.in rather than assume. Yes. Qualifying NEET UG 2026 does not register you anywhere. MCC registration covers the 15% All India Quota, deemed universities, AMU, BHU, Jamia Millia Islamia, ESIC and the central institutes. Every state authority — KEA in Karnataka, CEE in Kerala, DME in Tamil Nadu, CENTAC in Puducherry, ACPUGMEC in Gujarat — runs its own separate registration with its own fee and its own deadline. Registering with one gives you nothing in the others. Most students who lose a year lose it here, not in the exam hall. Partly. Government seats under state quota in those states are reserved for their own domicile holders, so a candidate from Assam, Manipur, Nagaland or any other NE state cannot claim them. What is open to non-domicile candidates is the management and NRI quota in private colleges, deemed university seats through MCC, and the 15% All India Quota. Kerala restricts non-Keralite candidates to the NK-II category, which is management and NRI seats in self-financing colleges only. Read each state's page before you spend money on a registration you cannot use. Every state is at a different stage, and several have revised Round 1 more than once this cycle, so a fixed list here would be wrong within days. Use the status board above (or the state-by-state links further down this page) for the current position, since it is refreshed as each authority moves and links straight through to the official portal. As a general rule: if a state page below shows registration, choice filling or an allotment result as still open, it accepts applications from any eligible candidate regardless of home state, subject to that state’s own domicile and quota rules — read the quota split further down before you pay a fee. Call OEF on 9085064444 and we will tell you which of these your score and domicile actually qualify for. No. MCC and every state authority run their own portals, and no consultant anywhere can influence a merit list or an allotment. What OEF does is different: we read the prospectus for you, tell you which quota your score and domicile genuinely qualify for, warn you before a security deposit is at risk, and stay reachable at 11 PM on the night before a deadline. That work is free, and it is the reason families in Guwahati have used us since 2008. ## Not Sure Which Counselling You Are Actually Eligible For? Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and home state. We will tell you honestly which of these windows are worth your registration fee and which are not — before you spend the money. --- # NEET UG 2026 Qualifying Marks Category-Wise Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/neet-ug-2026-qualifying-marks.html # NEET UG 2026 Qualifying Marks — Category-Wise, and What They Really Mean The General cutoff jumped from 144 last year to 213 this year and phones started ringing in our Guwahati office. Nothing has become harder. Here is what actually changed, and why a qualifying score is not the same thing as a seat. Last verified · 19 August 2026 · against official counselling portals The short answer. NEET UG 2026 qualifying marks, published by NTA with the result on 16 July 2026. UR and EWS qualify at the 50th percentile, 715 down to 213 marks. OBC, SC and ST qualify at the 40th percentile, 212 down to 177. UR/EWS with PwBD qualify at the 45th percentile, 212 down to 194. OBC-PwBD and SC-PwBD sit at 193 down to 177, and ST-PwBD at 191 down to 177. Qualifying makes you eligible to register for counselling. It does not secure a seat. ## Category-Wise Qualifying Percentile and Marks As published by NTA with the Re-NEET UG 2026 result on 16 July 2026. | Category | Qualifying Percentile | Marks Range 2026 | What It Opens | |---|---|---|---| | General / UR | 50th | 213 – 715 | Eligibility to register for MCC and state counselling | | EWS | 50th | 213 – 715 | Same band as General, with EWS reservation applied later | | OBC-NCL | 40th | 177 – 212 | Eligibility, plus OBC-NCL reservation in counselling | | SC | 40th | 177 – 212 | Eligibility, plus SC reservation in counselling | | ST | 40th | 177 – 212 | Eligibility, plus ST reservation in counselling | | UR / EWS & PwBD | 45th | 212 – 194 | Eligibility under the PwBD relaxation | | OBC & PwBD | 40th | 193 – 177 | Same floor as OBC, lower ceiling | | SC & PwBD | 40th | 193 – 177 | Same floor as SC, lower ceiling | | ST & PwBD | 40th | 191 – 177 | Same floor as ST, lower ceiling still | Read the ranges correctly. A band such as 715–213 does not mean you need 715. It means the qualified pool in that category runs from the topper's score down to the floor of 213. The only number that matters to you is the lower figure — the floor you must clear to be declared qualified. The PwBD rows are split three ways because that is how the official tables print them. We had them merged into one 177–212 band until the Dr NTR UHS notice of 31 July 2026 set it out properly. Nobody's eligibility shifts — the floor is 177 in all three — but a PwBD candidate holding a scorecard in the 190s should know which band they are actually in. ## Why the Number Jumped From 144 to 213 Qualifying in NEET has never been a fixed pass mark. NMC fixes it as a percentile — a position in the ranked list of everyone who appeared — and NTA converts that position into marks only after every answer sheet is evaluated. The 50th percentile means you scored at or above roughly half the candidates. That definition has not changed in years and did not change in 2026. What changed is the paper. The 21 June re-exam was widely rated easier than the cancelled May paper would have been. When a paper is easier, the whole distribution of scores shifts upward, and the score sitting at the halfway point of that distribution shifts upward with it. In 2025 the halfway point sat at 144 marks. In 2026 it sits at 213. Roughly 11.21 lakh candidates out of the nearly 20 lakh who appeared were declared qualified. So has the competition got harder? No. If everyone's score rose, your rank relative to everyone else is what decides your seat, and rank is unaffected by the shift. A student who would have ranked 40,000th on a harder paper ranks around 40,000th on an easier one. The 213 figure is a scaled marker, not a raised bar. Do not let anyone use it to frighten your family into a hasty decision. ## Qualifying Cutoff Is Not Admission Cutoff | | Qualifying Cutoff | Admission Cutoff | |---|---|---| | Set by | NTA, from the NMC percentile rule | MCC and each state authority, round by round | | When | Once, with the result on 16 July 2026 | After every allotment round, separately per college | | What it means | You may register for counselling | The last rank at which a seat actually closed | | 2026 General figure | 213 | Far higher in government colleges; published as closing ranks | | Changes with | Paper difficulty and cohort size | Seats available, choices filled, withdrawals | Every year a family arrives at our office holding a scorecard just above the qualifying floor, convinced a government MBBS seat is within reach because “we cleared the cutoff”. Clearing the qualifying cutoff means you are allowed to stand in the queue. Where you stand in that queue is your All India Rank, and that is the only figure a counselling authority looks at when a seat is allotted. ## You Qualified. Now What Is Realistic? ### Well above the floor Register for MCC All India Quota the moment the schedule opens, and register with your home state authority in parallel. Two registrations, two fees, two deadlines. Missing the state one because you were watching MCC is a common and expensive error. ### Comfortably qualified, mid band Government seats will be tight. Private management quota in states that are still open — Gujarat until 12 August, Puducherry until 6 August — is where the realistic options sit. Budget honestly before you fill choices, including hostel, food and flights home. ### Just over the floor MBBS through management quota in a lower-fee state, or a serious look at BDS and BAMS/BHMS . These are real medical careers, not consolation prizes, and the fee difference over five years is substantial. ### Did not qualify There is no cap on NEET attempts and no upper age limit. A structured repeat year with an honest diagnosis of what went wrong beats a rushed decision made in the week after the result. We will say this to your face even though it earns us nothing.

We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us 213 to 715 marks, corresponding to the 50th percentile. NTA published this along with the Re-NEET UG 2026 result on 16 July 2026. The same band applies to EWS candidates. A candidate scoring 213 or above in the General category is declared qualified and becomes eligible to register for counselling. All three reserved categories share the same band: 177 to 212 marks at the 40th percentile. This is not a typo — NMC fixes the same percentile for OBC-NCL, SC and ST, so in any given year they produce the same marks range. The band starts one mark below the General floor of 213 and ends at 177. Because the percentile is fixed and the marks are not. NMC fixes the qualifying threshold as a percentile — 50th for General and EWS, 40th for reserved categories — and that percentile never changes. What changes every year is how many marks it takes to reach that percentile, which depends on how the whole cohort performed. The 21 June 2026 re-exam paper was rated easier than usual, scores rose across the board, and the marks equivalent of the 50th percentile rose with them. No, and this is the most damaging misunderstanding in the whole admission cycle. 213 is an eligibility floor. It lets you register for counselling. The admission cutoff — the score at which seats actually close in a given college — is set by supply and demand in each round and is far higher in government colleges. A qualifying score realistically opens private management quota, deemed university seats, and AYUSH courses such as BAMS and BHMS, not a government MBBS seat. Four separate bands, not two. UR and EWS with PwBD qualify at the 45th percentile, 212 down to 194. OBC with PwBD and SC with PwBD qualify at the 40th percentile, 193 down to 177. ST with PwBD qualifies at the 40th percentile, 191 down to 177. Two official sources back this: the Dr NTR UHS notice of 31 July 2026, which prints all eight rows, and Gujarat ACPUGMEC's 2026-27 eligibility table, which lists 213 for Open/EWS, 194 for PwD Open/EWS and 177 for SC/ST/SEBC and category-PwD. ## Tell Us Your Score.

That makes Round 1 the round to get right. We explain the forfeiture rule for your specific state and round before you commit. ### Joining Day — We're Still With You Document support, bond verification, travel planning, hostel guidance — OEF stays with you until you are settled in your new college. That is what genuine service looks like. ## NEET 2026 — Critical Tips for Northeast India Aspirants ### Category Certificate — Prepare NOW ST/SC/OBC students from NE states should have their caste/tribe certificates attested and ready before NEET 2026. Tribal Area Certificates for Arunachal Pradesh, ILP zone documents — all need to be in order. OEF will tell you exactly what documents each college requires. ### Open Category Strategy — You Can Apply Anywhere NE students can apply as Open Category candidates in any state — management quota, AIQ, or deemed universities have no domicile requirement. OEF maximises this by showing you options across all partner states simultaneously. ### Budget Planning — Include All Costs Total MBBS cost = Tuition + Hostel + Food + Travel home (2–3 times/year) + Study materials. For NE students in West Bengal: ₹10–12L/year total. Karnataka: ₹18–28L/year total. OEF will give you a complete realistic budget before you decide. ### Colleges with Strong NE Communities KIMS Bhubaneswar, IQ City Durgapur, Vydehi Bangalore, and several Karnataka colleges have large, well-established NE India student communities. OEF can connect you with senior students from your state currently studying there — so you go in informed, not blind. ### Remote Counselling — No Office Visit Needed OEF serves students from all 8 NE states. Remote counselling via phone and WhatsApp. Even if you're in a remote area of Nagaland or Sikkim — we can guide you completely. Call 9085064444 on result day. ### Security Deposit — Understand Before Round 2 This is critical: if you accept a seat in Round 2 or Mop-up and don't join, your ₹1–3 Lakh deposit is permanently gone. OEF's Round 1 strategy is specifically designed to prevent this loss. Read our complete deposit guide → ## Your Questions Answered The exam originally scheduled for 3 May 2026 was cancelled by the National Testing Agency after paper-leak allegations. The Re-NEET UG 2026 was held on 21 June 2026 across 551 cities in India and 14 abroad, and NTA declared the result on 16 July 2026 at neet.nta.nic.in. Around 20 lakh candidates appeared and 11.21 lakh qualified. The whole 2026 cycle is running roughly two months behind a normal year, which is why several state counselling windows opened and closed inside a single fortnight in July. As per NMC guidelines (2022), there is no cap on the number of NEET UG attempts. You can appear as many times as needed, provided you meet the age requirement (minimum 17 years). There is no upper age limit after the Supreme Court's 2022 ruling. This applies to all categories — General, OBC, SC, and ST. Core documents needed: NEET 2026 score card, Class 10 certificate (date of birth proof), Class 12 marksheet, photo ID (Aadhaar/Passport), Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/PwD if applicable), Tribal Area Certificate (for Scheduled Tribe students from NE states), domicile certificate (for state quota), passport photos, and medical fitness certificate. OEF provides a complete, college-specific document checklist after your free counselling call. Three things, in this order. First, check which counselling windows are still open for your domicile and score — CENTAC Puducherry reopened and now closes 14 August, NEIGRIHMS Shillong closes 17 August. Second, get your certificates in hand: domicile or PRC, category certificate, Class 10 and 12 originals, NEET scorecard. Third, register for MCC — the schedule is out and was just revised on 13 August, so confirm the current dates at mcc.nic.in before you plan around them. Call 9085064444 and we will do the first step with you today, free. ## The Result Is Out. Now the Clock Is Running. Several state windows close in the first fortnight of August and MCC opens any day. Send us your score, category and home state and we will tell you today which windows are genuinely worth your registration fee. --- # NEET MDS Counselling 2026 — MCC Round 1 to 29 August Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/neet-mds-counselling-2026.html # NEET MDS Counselling 2026 — MCC Round 1 Extended to 29 August The Medical Counselling Committee has revised its Round 1 allotment schedule for the 50% All India Quota and 100% of deemed, central university and AFMS dental PG seats — part of the same wave of MCC schedule changes that has moved NEET UG dates this week.

We have not seen a restated notice number for this revision, and MCC has not (in what we've seen) published revised Round 2, Round 3 or stray-vacancy dates to match — the previously published Round 2 seat-matrix date of 3 September now falls inside the new Round 1 reporting window, so treat every date beyond Round 1 as unconfirmed until MCC publishes a fresh full-cycle schedule. Register only at mcc.nic.in. Separately, Karnataka's KEA opened PG Dental registration for PGET-2026 at 11:00 AM on 14 August , closing 17 August, 11:59 PM , with the fee payable by 6:00 PM on 18 August. And on 18 August , Rajasthan's State PG (MDS) Counselling Board released its own Round 1 schedule: registration opens 22 August , fee deposit and form submission close 25 August (4:00 PM / 8:00 PM), and the result is declared 1 September , at mds.neetrajasthan.com. A day later, on 19 August , Uttar Pradesh's DGME released its own Round 1 schedule, then revised it on 27 August (Letter No. ME-3/2026/1584): online registration and fee/security deposit now run 21 to 31 August , both closing 2:00 PM on the 31st; the merit list is now declared the same day; choice filling runs 1 to 7 September ; and the result is now declared 7 September , at upneet.gov.in. And on 21 August , Chhattisgarh's Directorate of Medical Education notified its own state quota Round 1: online application runs 22 to 29 August (11:00 AM to 11:59 PM, non-refundable ₹2,000 fee), with choice filling and locking open 22 to 30 August , at cgdme.in. Separately, Punjab's Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot published its PG-MDS-2026 prospectus with an online application window originally set for 20 to 23 August, but a 22 August notice has since extended that to 29 August and put every date after it — correction window, fee deadline, provisional merit list, choice filling, allotment, reporting — on hold pending a fresh notification; see the Punjab section below for exactly what's confirmed and what's superseded. And on 19 August , Bihar's BCECEB released its PGDAC-2026 (MDS) schedule: registration and application with payment closed 24 August , the rank card is due 26 August , choice filling and locking for Round 1 and Round 2 both close 27 August , and the Round 1 provisional allotment result follows 30 August , at BCECEB's portal. Two more states joined this page on 31 August : Maharashtra's State CET Cell issued a revised CAP Round 1 schedule the same day, with document verification on 31 August, the merit list process running through 3 September , choice filling 4–6 September , CAP Round 1 declared 7 September , and joining running to 11 September , at mahacet.org; and Gujarat's ACPPGMEC advertised its 1st Round choice filling window, which its own dates table gives as closing 5 September, 11:00 AM , with choices displayed the same day at 3:00 PM — see the Gujarat section below for a date in that notice we could not read literally. Open now · KEA notification 13 August 2026 Karnataka closes one day before MCC opens. Read that sentence twice. KEA's PGET-2026 registration for PG Dental courses runs from 11:00 AM on 14 August to 11:59 PM on 17 August 2026 . MCC's own MDS Round 1 registration does not open until 18 August . If you are waiting for MCC to start before deciding whether Karnataka is worth applying to, the Karnataka window will already have shut. These are two separate registrations, on two separate portals, with two separate fees, and neither one carries over into the other. The practical instruction is simple: if there is any realistic chance you would take a Karnataka MDS seat — government, government quota in a private or minority college, or a private seat — register with KEA in the next three days and pay by 6:00 PM on 18 August. Registering does not commit you to anything. Not registering removes the option entirely. ## Round 1, Stage by Stage — and What You Do at Each One All timings are as per MCC server time, not your phone clock. MCC has historically enforced these to the minute. | Stage | Dates and cut-off time | Duration | What you actually do | |---|---|---|---| | Verification of tentative seat matrix | 17 August 2026 | 1 day | Nothing — participating institutes do this | | Registration and payment | Revised — 18 – 29 August 2026 Registration closes 12:00 noon on 29 Aug Payment open until 4:00 PM on 29 Aug | 12 days | Register and pay at mcc.nic.in | | Choice filling | Revised — 19 August – 30 August 2026 Available until 11:59 PM on 30 Aug | 12 days | Fill and order your college and specialisation choices | | Choice locking | Revised — 6:00 PM, 29 August to 11:59 PM, 30 August 2026 | Overlaps filling | Lock your final list | | Processing of seat allotment | Revised — 31 August – 1 September 2026 | 2 days | Wait | | Result | Revised — 2 September 2026 | 1 day | Download your allotment letter | | Reporting and joining | Revised — 3 – 11 September 2026 | 9 days | Report at the allotted institute with originals | | Verification of joined candidate data | Revised — 12 – 13 September 2026 | 2 days | Nothing — institutes report to MCC | Every row from Registration onward is revised, extending Round 1 by roughly a week. This follows the same MCC schedule change that has pushed NEET UG dates this week. We have not seen a restated notice number for this specific revision. It creates a direct clash with Round 2 below — MCC has not, as far as we've seen, published matching revised dates for Round 2 onward, so treat everything past Round 1 in the table below as unconfirmed. The locking window is more generous here than in the UG schedule, and that is worth using. MDS choice locking now opens at 6:00 PM on 29 August while filling is still running, and both close together at 11:59 PM on 30 August. So you can build your list, lock it, and still have hours in hand — unlike NEET UG 2026, where filling and locking were compressed into the same closing hour. Use that gap deliberately: lock the evening before the deadline, sleep on it, and only revisit if something material changes. Do not leave locking to the last hour; the portal is at its slowest exactly then. ## The Whole Cycle on One Table — Round 1 Revised, Rounds 2–4 Unconfirmed Registration, choice filling, result and reporting for each round of the MCC MDS 2026 process. Round 1 reflects MCC's revised schedule; Rounds 2 through the stray vacancy round still show the originally published dates, which MCC has not yet restated. | Round | Seat matrix | Registration & payment | Choice filling / locking | Result | Reporting | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Round 1 | 17 Aug 2026 | 18 – 29 Aug Reg to 12 noon, pay to 4 PM on 29 Aug | 19 Aug – 30 Aug to 11:59 PM Locking 6 PM 29 Aug – 11:59 PM 30 Aug | 2 Sept 2026 | 3 – 11 Sept | | Round 2 | 3 Sept 2026 (unconfirmed) | 3 – 8 Sept (unconfirmed) Reg to 3 PM, pay to 6 PM on 8 Sept | 5 – 9 Sept to 10 AM (unconfirmed) Locking 4 PM 8 Sept – 10 AM 9 Sept | 11 Sept 2026 (unconfirmed) | 12 – 18 Sept (unconfirmed) | | Round 3 | 21 Sept 2026 (unconfirmed) | 22 – 27 Sept (unconfirmed) Reg to 3 PM, pay to 6 PM on 27 Sept | 23 – 28 Sept to 10 AM (unconfirmed) Locking 4 PM 27 Sept – 10 AM 28 Sept | 30 Sept 2026 (unconfirmed) | 1 – 8 Oct (unconfirmed) | | Online Stray Vacancy | — | 12 – 14 Oct (unconfirmed) Reg to 3 PM, pay to 6 PM on 14 Oct | 12 – 15 Oct to 10 AM (unconfirmed) Locking 4 PM 14 Oct – 10 AM 15 Oct | 16 Oct 2026 (unconfirmed) | 17 – 24 Oct (unconfirmed) | Round 1 reporting (3–11 September) now runs directly into Round 2's previously published seat-matrix date (3 September) and registration window (3–8 September). MCC has revised Round 1 but has not, in what we've seen, published matching revised dates for Round 2 onward. This is very likely to shift — do not plan Round 2 registration or travel around the dates in the table above until MCC publishes an updated full-cycle schedule. Check mcc.nic.in directly. Two things stood out in the originally published cycle and are worth keeping in mind even though Round 1 has since moved. First, the reporting windows were designed to get longer as the process goes on — six days in Round 1 originally, seven in Round 2, eight in Round 3 and the stray round. That reflects how far candidates typically have to travel by the later rounds, and how much harder the paperwork gets when a seat is accepted late. Round 1's reporting window is now nine days under the revised schedule, so this pattern may already be shifting. Second, MCC has explicitly directed all participating institutes to treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days for this schedule. Do not assume a college office will be shut on a weekend during a reporting window, and equally, do not assume you can use a weekend as slack in your own travel plan. ## Fifty Per Cent, Not Fifteen — Why MDS Counselling Is a Different Game ### 50% All India Quota Half of every government dental college's MDS intake goes to the national pool, allotted on NEET MDS rank with no domicile bar at all. At undergraduate level the equivalent figure is 15%. For a BDS graduate from Assam, Manipur or Nagaland, this is the single biggest structural advantage the PG dental process offers over the UG one. ### Deemed universities — 100% Every MDS seat in a participating deemed university is filled through MCC. Fees here run far above government colleges and vary sharply by specialisation, so establish the full three-year cost before a single choice goes into your list. ### Central universities and AFMS Central university dental seats and Armed Forces Medical Services institutions run through the same MCC schedule. AFMS admission carries service obligations that no other route does — read those terms before you fill the choice, not after allotment. ### The other 50% is not here The remaining half of government college seats, and most private dental college seats, are counselled by each state's own authority on its own calendar. Rajasthan's Round 1 was just notified. Karnataka's Round 1 option entry is open, 5-7 September. Tamil Nadu's closed in July. Assam's runs through DME. See the MDS branch and fee guide → ## The Karnataka PG Dental Notification — Four Clauses That Decide Eligibility Notification No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-12/2026, dated 13 August 2026, signed by the Executive Director, Karnataka Examinations Authority. Breaking · Round 1 Seat Allotment Schedule · No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-13/2026 · Dated 5 September 2026 KEA has published the Round 1 seat allotment schedule for NEET MDS 2026, following the PG Dental seat matrix issued the same day. Option entry (choice filling) opens 5 September, 4:00 PM , closing 7 September, 11:00 AM . The Round 1 real-allotment provisional result publishes 9 September after 6:00 PM , and the final result follows 10 September after 11:00 AM . Dates for fee payment, document submission and reporting at the allotted college will be published later. | Activity | Date and time | |---|---| | Online registration and application — closed | 14 – 17 August 2026, 11:59 PM | | Registration fee — closed | 18 August 2026, 6:00 PM | | Downloading of Verification Slip by Clause-A & Clause-Y candidates | Commenced 27 August 2026 | | Display of Seat Matrix and Fee Structure | 5 September 2026, after 4:00 PM | | Option entry (choice filling) by eligible candidates | 5 September 2026, 4:00 PM – 7 September 2026, 11:00 AM | | Publication of Mock Allotment Results | 7 September 2026, after 4:00 PM | | Provision to change options (add/delete/modify/re-order/alter) | 7 September 2026, after 5:00 PM – 9 September 2026, 11:00 AM | | Round 1 real-allotment Provisional Result | 9 September 2026, after 6:00 PM | | Round 1 real-allotment Final Result | 10 September 2026, after 11:00 AM | | Exercise of choices by candidates allotted a seat (Choice 1 to 4) | Dates to be published later | | Payment of fees — Choice 1 & 2 candidates | Dates to be published later | | Submission of original documents at KEA, Malleshwaram, Bengaluru & downloading admission order (Choice 1 only) | Dates to be published later | | Last date for reporting at the allotted dental college (Choice 1 only) | Dates to be published later | Candidates are directed to visit cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/pget2026 frequently for updates; KEA states it is not responsible for any consequence of not following notices on its website. All Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays are to be treated as working days for this counselling. Read the Information Bulletin for full details. ### Non-Karnataka candidates get no reservation — and face the General cut-off KEA states that non-Karnataka candidates are not eligible for reservation. In consequence, they may register only if they scored the 50th percentile or above fixed for the General (UR) category in NEET MDS 2026. SC, ST and OBC eligibility criteria apply to Karnataka SC/ST/OBC candidates only. A candidate from Assam holding an OBC certificate is assessed against the General threshold here. ### SC candidates must carry SCA, SCB or SCC on the certificate Government Order SKE 08 SLP 2024 dated 25 August 2025, read with DPAR 02 SeHiMa 2026 dated 27 April 2026, introduced internal reservation within the Scheduled Caste category as SCA, SCB and SCC. KEA's notification is explicit: Scheduled Caste candidates must obtain a caste certificate printed with that internal category and enter the RD number while applying. Fail to do so and you are not eligible to select SC-reserved seats at all. ### Some candidates are exempt from document verification The notification directs candidates to read the conditions hosted on the KEA website before appearing for verification, and states that those claiming clause 'a' or clause 'y' need not appear for verification. Establish which clause, if any, applies to you before you book a slot and buy a ticket to Bengaluru. ### Qualifying NEET MDS confers no right to a seat KEA states plainly that merely qualifying NEET MDS 2026 confers no right on a candidate for admission unless eligibility conditions are met and documents submitted, and that only candidates who complete registration including document verification are eligible for PG dental seats in government or private colleges in Karnataka. Registration alone is not enough. All rounds are KEA's, and all rounds are online. The notification records that per the NMC letter of 24 July 2023, every round of counselling including the stray vacancy round is conducted only by KEA in online mode. There is no separate college-level admission process to chase in Karnataka, and any consultant or college office telling you otherwise is describing something that does not legally exist. Register with KEA and complete document verification, or you are not in the running. Full eligibility rules are in Information Bulletin PGNEET-2026 on the KEA portal at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in/kea/. ## The Andhra Pradesh PG Dental Notification — Application Dates Confirmed, Everything After Is “Later” Notified 17 August 2026 by Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, for admission into PG Dental Degree and Diploma courses for the 2026-27 academic year. | Activity | Date and time | |---|---| | Online application, without late fee | 18 August 2026, 9:00 AM – 22 August 2026, 9:00 PM | | Online application, with late fee | 23 August 2026, 9:00 AM – 24 August 2026, 9:00 PM | | Commencement of classes | Not yet announced — check drntr.uhsap.in | | Provisional merit list of applied candidates | Not yet announced | | Final merit position | Not yet announced | | Web options exercise | Not yet announced | | Closure of admissions | Not yet announced | Only the application window has a real date. Every step after it — merit list, final merit, web options, closure — is listed in the university's own notice as pending, with candidates directed to check drntr.uhsap.in regularly. The notice states explicitly that all dates are tentative and the university reserves the right to change them without assigning any reason or advance notice, and that mere submission of an application does not confer any right to a seat. ### Everything is online, including document upload The notice states the entire application process runs online, including uploading images and scanned copies of original certificates, and paying fees. Candidates are explicitly told not to send a printout of the application or verification form to the university — no offline applications are accepted at any stage. ### No individual intimation is sent All further notifications publish on the university website only, and the notice states plainly that no individual intimations will be sent. The instruction is to visit drntr.uhsap.in regularly until admissions close — the same discipline every other state MDS notification on this page requires. ### Originals only surface at the college, not before A printout of the application, the Provisional Verification form, and original certificates are produced only at the time of admission at the allotted college. There is no separate, earlier document verification step named in this notice, unlike Karnataka's process. ### Helpline numbers are split by query type Regulations queries: 8978780501, 7997710168, 9391805238, 9391805239. Technical difficulties: 9000780707, 8008250842. Both lines run 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM only. Email queries go to ap.uhs.support@aptonline.in for technical issues or mdsquery23@gmail.com for regulations — the notice warns that queries sent to any other address may not be considered. ## The Rajasthan MDS Round 1 Schedule — Revised 27 August, Result Now 5 September Notification No. State PG Counselling Board/2026/, dated 18 August 2026, issued by the Office of the Chairman, NEET PG (MDS) Admission/Counselling Board 2026, SMS Medical College, JLN Marg, Jaipur, set the original Round 1 schedule in compliance with MCC's state schedule for AIQ counselling. A further notice from the same office, also numbered State PG Counselling Board/2026/ but dated 27 August 2026 and titled “REVISED SCHEDULE (Round-1)”, leaves registration and the merit list untouched but pushes every stage after the merit list later. | Stage | Original (18 Aug) | Revised (27 Aug) | |---|---|---| | Publishing of provisional seat matrix | 23 August 2026 | 23 August 2026 (unchanged, already done) | | Registration & application fee deposition opens | 22 August 2026 | 22 August 2026 (unchanged, already done) | | Last date to deposit the application fee | 25 August 2026, 4:00 PM | 25 August 2026, 4:00 PM (unchanged, already done) | | Last date to submit the on-line application form | 25 August 2026, 8:00 PM | 25 August 2026, 8:00 PM (unchanged, already done) | | Publishing of provisional merit list | 27 August 2026, midnight | 27 August 2026, midnight (unchanged) | | Deposition of security amount | 28 – 30 August, to 4:00 PM | 28 August – 2 September, to 4:00 PM | | Choice filling and locking (auto-locked) | 28 – 30 Aug (auto-locked 11:55 PM, 30 Aug) | 28 August – 2 September (auto-locked 11:55 PM, 2 Sept) | | Printing of application form after auto-locking | 31 August 2026 | 3 September 2026 | | Declaration of result | 1 September 2026 | 5 September 2026 | | Allotment letters, reporting, document submission, fee & bond deposition at SMS Medical College, Jaipur | 2 – 7 Sept (reporting 10 AM–5 PM; on 7 Sept, fee by 3 PM, reporting to 6 PM) | 7 – 11 September (reporting 10 AM–5 PM; on 11 Sept, fee by 3 PM, reporting to 5 PM) | | Commencement of academic session | 17 September 2026 | 17 September 2026 (unchanged) | | Further processes | To be published later | | Registration and the merit list held firm — everything after them moved four to five days later. Registration, the fee deposit split (4:00 PM for the fee, 8:00 PM the same day for the form) and the provisional merit list all happened exactly as the 18 August notice set out. The 27 August revision only touches what comes after: security deposit and choice filling/locking now run to 2 September instead of 30 August, and the result moves from 1 September to 5 September . The order is still conventional — merit list before choice filling, exactly as originally scheduled — just later. You still know your position in the state merit order before you have to lock a single choice; you now simply have five extra days to do it in. What the revised notice does not say. It carries no distinguishing notification number of its own — both the 18 August original and the 27 August revision are numbered only “State PG Counselling Board/2026/”, so the date is the only way to tell them apart. It states no rupee figure for the security amount payable 28 August–2 September — candidates are still pointed to the Information Bulletin. It also does not state, anywhere in either notice, whether Round 1 is open only to Rajasthan-domicile candidates or to the wider state quota pool the way Karnataka's PGET-2026 is; the fee table is the only clue (see below), and it cuts the other way from the UG schedule's explicit domicile banner. Confirm both figures in the Information Bulletin at mds.neetrajasthan.com before you register. | Category | Application fee | |---|---| | General / OBC / EWS | ₹4,000 (non-refundable) + transaction charges | | SC, ST, ST-STA — Rajasthan domicile | ₹3,000 (non-refundable) + transaction charges | The reduced ₹3,000 fee is expressly reserved for SC, ST and ST-STA candidates of Rajasthan state domicile — which reads as an implicit signal that non-domicile candidates may register for the general fee, though neither notice states this in so many words. Refer the Information Bulletin, college information sheet and college fee structure on the counselling website before you proceed, and revisit this page as the detailed programme for rounds beyond Round 1 is published. Register only at mds.neetrajasthan.com . ## The Uttar Pradesh MDS Round 1 Schedule — Extended to 31 August, Result Now 7 September Notification No. ME-3/2026/1547, dated 19 August 2026, issued by the Office of the Director General, Medical Education & Training, Kisan Bazar, Vibhuti Khand, Gomtinagar, Lucknow, set the original time schedule of the first round of online counselling for state quota MDS seats in Government and Private Dental Colleges/Universities of Uttar Pradesh. A further Letter No. ME-3/2026/1584, dated 27 August 2026, from the same office, revises that schedule — “in continuation of the revised time-table issued by Medical Counseling Committee (MCC), New Delhi” — extending every step below. | Stage | Original (19 Aug) | Revised (27 Aug) | |---|---|---| | Online registration | 21 Aug, 11 AM – 27 Aug, 11 AM | 21 Aug, 11 AM – 31 Aug, 2:00 PM | | Depositing registration fee and security fee | 21 Aug, 11 AM – 27 Aug, 2 PM | 21 Aug, 11 AM – 31 Aug, 2:00 PM | | Declaration of merit list | 27 August 2026 | 31 August 2026 | | Online choice filling | 29 Aug, 5 PM – 1 Sept, 5 PM | 1 Sept, 11:00 AM – 7 Sept, 11:00 AM | | Declaration of result of seat allotment | 2 September 2026 | 7 September 2026 | | Downloading allotment letters and admission process | 3 – 8 September 2026 | 8 – 13 September 2026 | The whole schedule has moved four days later — registration and the fee/security deposit still run in the same window, unlike Rajasthan. UP's revised Letter No. ME-3/2026/1584 (27 August) pushes the bundled online registration and fee/security deposit window from 21–27 August out to 21–31 August, both closing 2:00 PM on 31 August . There is still no separate later security-deposit step the way Rajasthan schedules one for 28–30 August; whatever UP requires as security is collected upfront alongside registration. The order after that is unchanged in shape, just later: merit list now on 31 August (the same day registration closes), then choice filling 1 to 7 September , then the result now on 7 September — so, as with Rajasthan, you will know your state merit position before you have to file a single choice. What the notification does not say. It gives no rupee figure anywhere for the registration fee or the security fee — unlike Rajasthan's notification, which at least states ₹4,000/₹3,000 on its face, UP's schedule notice states none of this and simply directs candidates to the departmental websites. It also does not state a domicile restriction, a reservation policy, or which candidates — if any — are exempt from any step. This is a bare time-schedule notice, not a full information bulletin; treat it as the dates only, and confirm every rupee figure and eligibility clause on upneet.gov.in or dgme.up.gov.in before you register. Five helpline numbers are listed on both notices — 8189011696, 8189011697, 8189011698, 8189011699 and 8189011700 — which is more than any other state notification on this page provides, and is worth using if the portal itself is ambiguous about a step. Register only at upneet.gov.in or dgme.up.gov.in . ## The Chhattisgarh MDS Round 1 Schedule — Notified 21 August, Registration Opens 22 August Kramank 1476/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026, dated 21 August 2026, issued by the Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Chhattisgarh, Swasthya Bhawan, Raipur — “Admission Session 2026, online application notice for admission to the state quota of Chhattisgarh's dental postgraduate course (MDS)”, for candidates declared eligible by NEET-MDS-2026 (National Board of Examinations). | Activity | Date and time | |---|---| | Online application fee (non-refundable) | ₹2,000 | | Online application opens | 22 August 2026, 11:00 AM (server time) | | Online application closes | 29 August 2026, 11:59 PM (server time) | | Choice filling and locking opens | 22 August 2026, 11:00 AM (server time) | | Choice filling and locking closes | 30 August 2026, 11:59 PM (server time) | Choice filling and locking run a full day past the application deadline, and stay open even after Lock & Submit. Online application closes 29 August at 11:59 PM, but choice filling and locking continues to 30 August, also 11:59 PM — a full extra day to build and order your list once your application is in. The notice also states plainly that even after you have completed Lock & Submit on the application itself, a free Reset facility remains available if you want to change anything, right up to the final application date. Few state notices anywhere on this page offer that kind of built-in correction window. Pay at least 36 hours before the deadline, in the Commission's own words. The notice specifically warns that bank gateway payment clearance can sometimes take up to 24 hours because of payment-gateway complications, and advises paying the application fee at least 36 hours before the last date so you are not forced to pay an additional fee if a payment fails to clear in time. With the application closing at 11:59 PM on 29 August, that means paying by roughly noon on 28 August to stay safely inside that margin. Before applying, candidates must review the Chhattisgarh Dental Postgraduate Admission Rules, 2017 — the notice cites Rule 9 (“Counselling Process”) specifically for the list of documents required at online registration. Payment accepts Net Banking, Debit Card, Credit Card and UPI. The notice places the entire counselling process — registration fee payment, institution and subject choice, choice locking, bonus marks and so on — in the candidate's own hands, and states explicitly that if a candidate's registration or allotment is cancelled due to incomplete or incorrect information, the entire responsibility rests with the candidate alone; neither the Commissioner's office nor the counselling committee accepts any responsibility for it. Register only at www.cgdme.in , and check cgdme.admissions.nic.in regularly for further counselling updates — the notice asks for exactly that. ## The Punjab MDS Round 1 Schedule — Application Deadline Extended to 29 August PG-MDS-2026 Prospectus, Important Dates, issued by Baba Farid University of Health Sciences (BFUHS), Faridkot — the university that runs Punjab's state quota PG dental (MDS) admission. Application window extended — the rest of the schedule below is now provisional. A BFUHS notice dated 22 August 2026 extends the last date for online application submission for the 1st Round from 23 to 29 August 2026 . BFUHS states plainly that the remaining counselling schedule (correction window, fee deadline, merit list, choice filling, allotment, reporting) will be uploaded on the University website later — every date below that followed the old 23 August close is now superseded and awaiting a fresh notification. Register your application, but do not plan around the dates that follow it until BFUHS republishes them. | Activity | Date and time | |---|---| | Prospectus available on University website | 20 August 2026 | | Tentative distribution of seats displayed (final distribution shown only at choice filling) | 20 August 2026 | | Online admission application, at www.bfuhs.ac.in | 20 to 29 August 2026 (extended from 23 Aug, notice dated 22 Aug) | | Last date to correct the submitted online application | Not yet renotified (was 24 Aug, now superseded) | | Last date to deposit application fee (₹5,900; ₹2,950 for SC, plus 18% GST) | Not yet renotified (was 24 Aug, now superseded) | | PCMS category — hand-deliver scanned application, certificates, NOC, Eligibility Certificate and fee proof to Admission branch, BFUHS Faridkot | Not yet renotified | | NRI quota — hard copy of application at University office (Eligibility Certificate must be obtained from the University before applying) | Not yet renotified | | Christian Minority Quota verification at Christian Dental College, Ludhiana; Sikh Minority Quota verification at Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Dental Sciences & Research, Amritsar | 31 August 2026, 9:00 AM (per BFUHS notice dated 26 Aug) | | Display of Provisional Merit List | Not yet renotified (was 24 Aug) | | Objections to Provisional Merit List (personal appearance only, at BFUHS Faridkot admission branch, with documents) | Not yet renotified | | Revised merit list, if any change after objections | Not yet renotified | | Round 1 — online choice filling of college/speciality | Not yet renotified (was 26–28 Aug) | | Display of provisional allotment/result | Not yet renotified (was 1 Sept) | | Objections to provisional allotment (personal appearance) | Not yet renotified | | Revised allotment, if any change after objections | Not yet renotified | | Reporting to allotted college and deposition of six-month fee (via University payment gateway, candidate's login) | Not yet renotified (was 3–7 Sept) | What was true before the extension, and what changes. Four category-specific document-submission tracks — PCMS, NRI quota, and Christian/Sikh minority quota — each still need their own verification, and objection windows against the merit list and allotment are still restricted to personal appearance in Faridkot with documents in hand, per the original prospectus. One of those four now has a confirmed date: BFUHS's separate notice dated 26 August 2026 tells Sikh/Christian Minority Quota registrants to report for minority-status verification on 31 August 2026, 9:00 AM , at Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Dental Sciences & Research, Amritsar (Sikh quota) or Christian Dental College, Ludhiana (Christian quota), with original documents. PCMS and NRI quota verification dates remain unrenotified. NRI candidates still need an Eligibility Certificate obtained from the University before applying. What's no longer reliable is the exact date the rest of this happens by — wait for BFUHS's revised schedule before planning travel around any other step. The prospectus states plainly that any amendment or notice issued by the Government of Punjab, Government of India, or mcc.nic.in regarding PG admissions for the 2026 session will apply on top of this schedule — so this is not a closed, final document. It also warns that a provisionally allotted candidate who fails to deposit the fee through the online portal within the given time has their allotment treated as cancelled, and that the application form locks automatically after the last date. Register only at www.bfuhs.ac.in , and cross-check www.mcc.nic.in regularly for anything that supersedes this notice. ## The Bihar MDS (PGDAC-2026) Schedule — Registration Closed 24 August, Rank Card 26 August Important Dates for PGDAC-2026 (Post-Graduate Dental Admission Counselling), Bihar Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board (BCECEB) — the same board that runs Bihar's UGMAC counselling for MBBS/BDS, running the state's MDS state-quota counselling on a parallel calendar. | Activity | Date and time | |---|---| | Seat matrix posted on Board's website | 19 August 2026 (done) | | Online registration & application-cum-choice filling / editing opens (Round 1 & Round 2) | 20 August 2026 (done) | | Online registration & application with payment closes / editing closes (Round 1 & Round 2) | 24 August 2026, 11:59 PM (closed) | | Publication of rank card | 26 August 2026 | | Choice filling & locking closes (Round 1 & Round 2) | 27 August 2026, 11:59 PM | | Round 1 provisional seat allotment result | 30 August 2026 | | Downloading of allotment order (Round 1) | 30 August – 3 September 2026 | | Documents verification and admission (Round 1) | 1 – 3 September 2026 | | Resignation through Free Exit from Round 1 | 12 September 2026 | | Online choice filling for seat allotment (Round 2) | 13 September 2026 | | Last date of online choice filling and locking (Round 2) | 14 September 2026 | | Round 2 provisional seat allotment result | 17 September 2026 | | Downloading of allotment order (Round 2) | 17 – 19 September 2026 | | Document verification / admission (Round 2) | 18 – 19 September 2026 | Registration has already closed — the rank card is the next thing to watch. Online registration and application submission (with payment) closed 24 August at 11:59 PM. If you registered, the next date that matters is the rank card on 26 August, followed immediately by choice filling and locking, which closes 27 August at 11:59 PM — only a day's gap to build and order your list once the rank card is out. Round 1 provisional allotment follows on 30 August. This schedule runs on BCECEB's own calendar, separate from Bihar's UGMAC (MBBS/BDS) counselling and separate from MCC's NEET MDS AIQ schedule — registering with one gives you nothing in the others. Confirm every date directly at BCECEB's official portal before you act, particularly if you missed the 24 August registration close. ## The Maharashtra MDS CAP Round 1 Schedule — Revised 31 August, Declared 7 September Notice No. MED-1026/C.R.No.47/NEET MDS/CAP-1/2123, dated 31 August 2026 — “NOTICE NO-04, NEET MDS-2026, Revised Schedule for CAP Round 1” — issued by the Commissioner, Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell, Mumbai, for admission to Post Graduate Dental (MDS) courses for the 2026-27 academic year. It follows MCC's own revised schedule of 27 August 2026 and updates the CET Cell's own earlier Notice No. 03, dated 25 August 2026. All timings below are server time, as the notice states. | Stage | Date and time | |---|---| | Document verification, online mode | 31 August 2026 | | Publication of registered candidate list | 1 September 2026 | | Publication of provisional merit list | 1 September 2026 | | Submission of grievances, if any | 2 September 2026, up to 5:00 PM | | Publication of final merit list | 3 September 2026 | | Publication of seat matrix | 3 September 2026 | | Online choice/preference filling | 4 – 6 September 2026, to 5:30 PM | | Declaration of CAP Round 1 | 7 September 2026 | | Physical joining to allotted college | 8 – 11 September 2026, to 5:30 PM | The merit list happens before you file a single choice, same as Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. Document verification, the registered candidate list and the provisional merit list all land in the first two days, the final merit list and seat matrix follow on 3 September, and only then does choice filling open, running three days to 4–6 September, 5:30 PM. CAP Round 1 is declared the next day, 7 September, with four days to join — 8 to 11 September, also to 5:30 PM. One detail worth reading twice: the notice permits paying the joining fee by cheque on a bank holiday, but requires it to be replaced with a demand draft on the next working day, and warns that admission may be cancelled if that replacement does not happen. If your joining date falls on or near a bank holiday, do not rely on a cheque alone — carry a DD as the safer option from the start. What the notice does not say. It gives no rupee figure anywhere for a registration, security or joining fee, and states no domicile or reservation clause on its face — it is a revised time-schedule notice, not a full information bulletin, so confirm both at the CET Cell's own portal before you act. It also states, in its own words, that this schedule is subject to change per any direction from MCC, NBEMS, the Dental Council, the Central Government, the State Government or a court — which is a broader list of possible triggers than any other state notice on this page names, though it does not say which of those, if any, produced this particular revision. Candidates are directed to keep checking www.mahacet.org . This is Maharashtra's own state-quota CAP process, run entirely separately from MCC's All India Quota schedule above — registering with one gives you nothing in the other. Register and track every stage only at www.mahacet.org . ## The Gujarat MDS 1st Round Choice Filling — A Date in the Notice We Are Not Silently Fixing Advertisement for the 1st Round of Online Choice Filling, issued by the Admission Committee for Professional Post-Graduate Medical Educational Courses (ACPPGMEC), Government of Gujarat, from its office at GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar — for candidates already on the ACPPGMEC merit list, for admission to Government, Management and NRI seats of the MDS course in Government and self-financed dental colleges for the 2026-27 academic year. | Activity | Date and time | |---|---| | 1st Round choice filling | 31 August to 5 September 2026, 11:00 AM (see note below) | | Display of choices filled by candidates | 5 September 2026, 3:00 PM | The source notice literally reads “31/09/2026” — a date that does not exist. ACPPGMEC's own dates table gives the choice filling window as running from “31/09/2026” to “05/09/2026”, 11:00 AM. 31 September is not a calendar date in any month, so this reads as a clerical error in the original notice, almost certainly meant to be 31 August 2026 — the day before the stated closing date, and the same day Maharashtra's own revised MDS schedule (above) opens an equivalent step. We are stating the window as 31 August to 5 September 2026, 11:00 AM in the table above because that is the only reading the surrounding schedule supports, but we have not corrected the source document itself, and neither should you assume it is corrected. Treat this as an unresolved typo in a government notice, not a confirmed date, until ACPPGMEC issues a corrigendum or the live portal shows the window actually open. Verify the current status directly at www.medadmgujarat.org before assuming this round has started. This advertisement carries no fee figure, no domicile clause and no eligibility detail beyond “candidates on the ACPPGMEC Merit List” — it is a choice-filling notice, not a full information bulletin, so the fee structure, reservation policy and category-wise seat distribution sit elsewhere on the portal, not in this advertisement. Gujarat's MDS counselling runs on ACPPGMEC's own calendar, separate from MCC's All India Quota schedule. Register and check every date only at www.medadmgujarat.org . ## Where the State 50% Currently Stands Position as verified on 1 September 2026. State MDS calendars are set independently of MCC and of each other. | Counselling | Authority | Status on 1 September 2026 | Next deadline | |---|---|---|---| | All India Quota + Deemed + AFMS | MCC, DGHS | Registration and choice filling open | Registration closes 23 August, 3:00 PM | | Rajasthan — State PG (MDS) quota | State PG Counselling Board, SMS Medical College, Jaipur | Revised · schedule revised 27 Aug | Choice filling now to 2 Sept · result now 5 Sept | | Uttar Pradesh — State quota MDS | DGME, Lucknow | Revised · time schedule extended 27 Aug | Registration/fee now to 31 Aug, 2 PM · result now 7 Sept | | Chhattisgarh — State quota MDS | DME, Raipur | New · Round 1 notified 21 Aug | Registration opens 22 Aug · closes 29 Aug, 11:59 PM | | Punjab — State quota MDS | BFUHS, Faridkot | Extended · Notice, 22 Aug | Application now closes 29 Aug · rest of schedule awaiting renotification | | Karnataka — PG Dental | KEA, PGET-2026 | Round 1 option entry open | Choice filling 5–7 Sept · provisional result 9 Sept · final result 10 Sept | | Andhra Pradesh — PG Dental | Dr NTR UHS, Vijayawada | Notified 17 Aug, applications open since 18 Aug | No late fee to 22 Aug, 9 PM · late fee window 23–24 Aug | | Tamil Nadu — MDS | Selection Committee, DME | Application closed 22 July, 11:00 AM | Rank list and counselling dates not yet notified | | Assam — MDS state quota (RDC Guwahati) | DME Assam / Regional Dental College, Guwahati | Re-scheduled · notice issued 27 Aug | Counselling now 7 September, 11:30 AM · was 29 Aug · at DME Assam office, Sixmile, Khanapara | | Bihar — PGDAC-2026 (MDS) | BCECEB | Registration closed 24 Aug, 11:59 PM | Rank card 26 Aug · choice filling/locking closes 27 Aug | | Maharashtra — MDS CAP Round 1 | State CET Cell, Mumbai | New · revised schedule notified 31 Aug | Choice filling 4–6 Sept, 5:30 PM · CAP Round 1 declared 7 Sept | | Gujarat — MDS 1st Round | ACPPGMEC, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar | Date unclear · notice reads “31/09”, read here as 31 Aug | Choices displayed 5 Sept, 3:00 PM | What we do not have, stated plainly. This page carries only what the issuing authority has actually published. MCC has released the schedule; the MDS seat matrix follows institute verification. Rajasthan's 18 August notification gives no rupee figure for its Round 1 security deposit and does not state a domicile restriction — both are pushed to the Information Bulletin. Its 27 August revision, which pushes the result from 1 to 5 September, carries no distinguishing notification number of its own and adds nothing on either point. Uttar Pradesh's 19 August notification, and its 27 August revision extending the dates, are both bare time-schedules — no fee figure, no domicile or reservation clause at all, on either registration or security fee. Chhattisgarh's 21 August notification gives a clear ₹2,000 fee figure but, like Uttar Pradesh's, states no domicile restriction or reservation policy at all — candidates are pointed only to the 2017 Admission Rules for document requirements. Punjab's BFUHS prospectus originally gave clear fees and a detailed schedule, including named minority-quota verification centres, but a 22 August notice has extended the application deadline to 29 August and put every date after it on hold pending a fresh notification — and the prospectus never stated anywhere in the Important Dates sheet whether the general state quota seats carry a Punjab-domicile restriction, a detail that sits in the full prospectus, not this dates table. Tamil Nadu's July notification left rank declaration, counselling dates, course commencement and closure of admission all as “will be notified later”, and those remain unannounced. Assam's counselling, originally set for 29 August by a 24 August 2026 Regional Dental College, Guwahati notice (as directed by the Office of the Director of Medical Education, Assam), was re-scheduled to 7 September 2026 by a further RDC Guwahati notice dated 27 August 2026 — it covers Assam State Quota MDS seats at RDC Guwahati only, for candidates in the state NEET-MDS-2026 merit list up to rank 25, states no fee figure, and gives no separate schedule for candidates outside that rank band. Maharashtra's 31 August revised CAP Round 1 notice states, in its own words, that the schedule is subject to change per any direction from MCC, NBEMS, the Dental Council, the Central Government, the State Government or a court — a broader list of possible triggers than any other state names on this page — but it does not say which of those actually caused this revision, and we have not independently confirmed a reason beyond its reference to MCC's own 27 August schedule change. Gujarat's ACPPGMEC 1st Round choice filling advertisement contains what reads as a clerical date error: its own dates table gives the window opening on “31/09/2026”, a date that does not exist on any calendar. We read that as 31 August 2026 by inference from the surrounding schedule, not from anything ACPPGMEC has corrected or confirmed, and we have flagged rather than silently fixed it in the Gujarat section above. Where a state is missing from the table above, it is because nothing has been issued that we can read, not because nothing exists — call us and we will check the specific state you need. ## Ten Seats in the Region — Which Makes the AIQ Route Decisive Regional Dental College, Guwahati — established 1982 by the North Eastern Council, the first dental college in the Northeast, now affiliated to Srimanta Sankaradeva University of Health Sciences — runs roughly ten MDS seats a year, spread two apiece across Prosthodontics, Periodontics, Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Orthodontics. That is the anchor of dental postgraduate training in the region. It is also, on any realistic reading, nowhere near enough for the number of BDS graduates the region produces each year. Which is why the arithmetic of the All India Quota matters so much more at MDS than it did at BDS. Half of every government dental college seat in the country is in a pool where your Assam or Manipur address is neither an advantage nor a handicap — only your NEET MDS rank counts. A candidate who treats MCC as an afterthought and pins everything on the state quota is competing for a handful of seats when a national pool was open to them on the same score. The practical shape of a Northeast candidate's 2026 plan, then, is usually multi-legged: register with MCC for the national pool, register with the state authorities whose windows are open and whose colleges you would genuinely accept — Rajasthan's Round 1 opened 22 August and, per a 27 August revision, now declares its result 5 September instead of 1 September; its fee table does not obviously exclude non-domicile candidates the way its own NEET UG schedule does; Uttar Pradesh's opens 21 August and states no domicile restriction at all in its notice; Chhattisgarh's opens the same day, 22 August, at a flat ₹2,000 application fee with no domicile clause stated either; Punjab's BFUHS application window is open now too, extended to 29 August as of a 22 August notice, though its named minority-quota routes — Christian at Christian Dental College, Ludhiana, Sikh at Sri Guru Ram Das Institute of Dental Sciences & Research, Amritsar, both now confirmed for verification on 31 August — are unlikely to help a candidate without those affiliations, so read the full prospectus rather than assume the general state quota is open to you — and for the small number of Assam candidates ranked in the top 25 of the state NEET-MDS-2026 merit list, RDC Guwahati's own counselling, re-scheduled from 29 August, is now on the calendar for 7 September. Running one and skipping the others is the most common and most expensive mistake we see.

Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of MCC, KEA, the Rajasthan State PG Counselling Board, the Uttar Pradesh DGME, the Chhattisgarh Directorate of Medical Education, Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, or any state counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no MDS seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET MDS 2026 score. ## Questions BDS Graduates Ask Us 18 August 2026, and MCC has since revised the closing date. Registration and payment now run 18 to 29 August 2026, with registration closing at 12:00 noon on 29 August and the payment facility open until 4:00 PM the same day, both as per server time. Participating institutes verified the tentative seat matrix on 17 August 2026. Registration is at mcc.nic.in and nowhere else. For Round 1, per MCC's revised schedule, choice filling now runs 19 August to 30 August 2026 and stays available until 11:59 PM on 30 August. Choice locking opens earlier, at 6:00 PM on 29 August, and closes at 11:59 PM on 30 August. Both are server time. As before, locking opens while filling is still running, so you can lock and still have time to reconsider before the window shuts. 2 September 2026, per MCC's revised schedule — pushed back from the originally published 26 August. Seat allotment processing now runs 31 August to 1 September, the result is declared on 2 September, and reporting or joining at the allotted institute runs 3 to 11 September 2026. Institutes verify joined candidate data on 12-13 September. MCC has not, in what we've seen, restated Round 2, Round 3 or stray-vacancy dates to match this shift, so treat the previously published 11 September (Round 2), 30 September (Round 3) and 16 October (stray vacancy) result dates as unconfirmed. Fifty per cent of MDS seats in government dental colleges go to the All India Quota counselled by MCC, plus 100 per cent of seats in deemed universities, central universities and Armed Forces Medical Services institutions. This is a much larger national pool than NEET UG, where the All India Quota is only 15 per cent. The remaining 50 per cent state quota is counselled by each state authority separately, on its own calendar. 29 August 2026, at www.bfuhs.ac.in — extended from the originally notified 23 August. Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot published its PG-MDS-2026 prospectus with the tentative seat distribution on 20 August, then issued a fresh notice on 22 August 2026 extending the application deadline to 29 August. BFUHS states the remaining counselling schedule (correction window, fee deadline, provisional merit list, objections, Round 1 choice filling, allotment, reporting) will be uploaded on the University website later — the dates originally attached to those steps (24 August onward) are superseded and should not be relied on until BFUHS republishes them. PCMS category, NRI quota, and Christian/Sikh minority quota candidates still have their own separate document-submission requirement, and objections are still accepted only by personal appearance at the admission branch, BFUHS Faridkot, per the original prospectus. 26 August 2026, via BCECEB's PGDAC-2026 (Post-Graduate Dental Admission Counselling) portal. Online registration and application submission, with payment, closed 24 August 2026 at 11:59 PM. After the rank card, choice filling and locking for Round 1 and Round 2 both close 27 August at 11:59 PM, and the Round 1 provisional seat allotment result follows on 30 August, with document verification and admission running 1 to 3 September. This runs on BCECEB's own calendar, separate from Bihar's UGMAC (MBBS/BDS) counselling and from MCC's NEET MDS schedule. 7 September 2026 (Monday), 11:30 AM, at the Office of the Director of Medical Education, Assam, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati-22 — re-scheduled from the originally notified 29 August. The Regional Dental College, Guwahati issued the original counselling notice on 24 August 2026, then a further notice (No.RDC/MDS/03/2017/) on 27 August 2026 re-scheduling it, both as directed by the Office of the Director of Medical Education, Assam, for MDS admission under the Assam State Quota, Session 2026. It covers candidates whose names appear in the Assam NEET-MDS-2026 state merit list up to rank 25, who must physically appear with their original documents — the notice states no separate schedule for candidates outside that rank band, and no fee figure. 22 August 2026, 11:00 AM (server time). The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Chhattisgarh, Raipur, issued the notification (Kramank 1476/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026) on 21 August 2026, inviting online applications from candidates declared eligible by NEET-MDS-2026 (National Board of Examinations) for state quota MDS seats. The non-refundable online application fee is ₹2,000. Online application closes 29 August 2026, 11:59 PM; choice filling and locking run 22 to 30 August 2026, closing 11:59 PM. A free Reset facility is available up to the last date if a candidate wants to change a form already locked and submitted. Register only at cgdme.in, and check cgdme.admissions.nic.in for further counselling updates. Registration closed 17 August 2026, but Round 1 seat allotment is now under way. KEA published the Round 1 schedule on 5 September 2026 (No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-13/2026): the PG Dental seat matrix and fee structure went up the same day, option entry (choice filling) runs 5 September, 4:00 PM to 7 September, 11:00 AM, the provisional real-allotment result publishes 9 September after 6:00 PM, and the final result follows 10 September after 11:00 AM. Fee payment, document submission and reporting dates for allotted candidates will be published later. It covers government dental colleges, government quota seats in private and minority dental colleges, and private seats in private dental colleges and private universities in Karnataka. Yes, but without reservation. KEA's PGET-2026 notification states that non-Karnataka candidates are not eligible for reservation, and that they may register only if they have scored the 50th percentile or above fixed for the General (UR) category in NEET MDS 2026. SC, ST and OBC eligibility criteria apply to Karnataka SC/ST/OBC candidates only. For a BDS graduate from Assam or elsewhere in the Northeast, that means the General cut-off applies regardless of the category certificate you hold at home. No. The Tamil Nadu MDS application window for the 2026-27 session opened at 12 noon on 13 July 2026 and closed at 11:00 AM on 22 July 2026, under a notification dated 11 July 2026. The rank declaration date, counselling dates, course commencement and closure of admission were all left as "will be notified later" in that notification and had not been announced when this page was last verified. If you did not apply by 22 July, the Tamil Nadu state quota route is shut for this cycle — but the MCC All India Quota still reaches Tamil Nadu government dental colleges. 18 August 2026, 9:00 AM, at drntr.uhsap.in, without late fee until 22 August, 9:00 PM. A late-fee window follows, 23 to 24 August. This is from a notification issued 17 August 2026 by Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada. Beyond the application window, no further dates — merit list, web options, or closure of admissions — have been announced; the university states these are pending and all dates are tentative, subject to change without notice. 22 August 2026, and that part is unchanged. The Office of the Chairman, NEET PG (MDS) Admission/Counselling Board 2026 at SMS Medical College, Jaipur, released the Round 1 schedule on 18 August 2026, in compliance with MCC's state schedule for AIQ counselling; registration and fee deposition opened 22 August and closed as planned on 25 August (fee by 4:00 PM, form by 8:00 PM). The provisional merit list still published at midnight on 27 August. But a further Revised Schedule notice, also dated 27 August 2026, pushes every stage after the merit list later: security deposit and choice filling/locking (auto-locked) now run 28 August to 2 September, the result is now declared on 5 September (was 1 September), and allotment letters, reporting and document/fee/bond submission at SMS Medical College, Jaipur now run 7 to 11 September. Register only at mds.neetrajasthan.com. 21 August 2026, 11:00 AM, now extended to 31 August, 2:00 PM. The Office of the Director General, Medical Education & Training, Lucknow, released the original Round 1 time schedule on 19 August 2026 (Notification No. ME-3/2026/1547), then issued a revised time schedule on 27 August 2026 (Letter No. ME-3/2026/1584) extending it. Online registration and deposition of the registration and security fee now both run 21 to 31 August, closing 2:00 PM on 31 August. The merit list is now declared 31 August, choice filling runs 1 September (11:00 AM) to 7 September (11:00 AM), the seat allotment result is now declared 7 September, and allotment letter download and admission run 8 to 13 September. The notice states no fee figure and no domicile or reservation clause — confirm both at upneet.gov.in or dgme.up.gov.in before you register. Yes, always. MCC registration gives you nothing in any state, and a state registration gives you nothing at MCC. Separate portals, separate fees, separate deadlines, and in 2026 they do not run in a convenient order — Karnataka's PG dental window closes on 17 August, the day before MCC MDS registration opens on 18 August, while Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh all open state Round 1 registration in the days after. Decide now which states you would genuinely accept a seat in and register with each of them within their own window. Maharashtra's State Common Entrance Test Cell issued a revised CAP Round 1 schedule on 31 August 2026 (Notice No. MED-1026/C.R.No.47/NEET MDS/CAP-1/2123): document verification and the registered candidate/provisional merit lists run 31 August–1 September, grievances close 2 September at 5:00 PM, the final merit list and seat matrix publish 3 September, choice filling runs 4–6 September to 5:30 PM, CAP Round 1 is declared 7 September, and physical joining with a DD runs 8–11 September to 5:30 PM, at mahacet.org. Gujarat's ACPPGMEC advertised its 1st Round choice filling as running to 5 September 2026, 11:00 AM, with choices displayed the same day at 3:00 PM — though its own dates table gives the opening date as “31/09/2026”, which does not exist on any calendar; we read this as 31 August 2026 by inference, not as a confirmed date, until ACPPGMEC corrects it. Check medadmgujarat.org before assuming that window is open. ## Your Rank Sets the Ceiling. The Choice List Sets the Outcome.

Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Prosthodontics and more — here’s what each branch offers and what NEET PG score you realistically need. 📅 NEET MDS 2026 counselling is live — MCC Round 1 registration revised to 18–29 August; Punjab BFUHS application closes 23 August; Chhattisgarh DME state quota opens 22 August. ## MDS — Is It Worth It? MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) is a 3-year postgraduate dental degree after BDS. NEET PG (Dental) is mandatory. MDS opens specialist dental practice, teaching, and research roles. In cities and towns across Northeast India, specialist dental care is severely underserved. An MDS Orthodontist or Oral Surgeon in Guwahati, Imphal, or Shillong has enormous earning potential. OEF has placed several BDS graduates from NE India into quality MDS programmes. ### MDS Quick Facts ## All MDS Branches — Guide 2026 ### MDS Orthodontics Braces, aligners, jaw correction. Highest earning MDS branch. Strong demand everywhere. ₹2–6L/month in private practice. Most competitive rank requirement. ### MDS Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Facial surgery, implants, trauma. Surgical scope. ₹1.5–4L/month. Hospital and private practice. Growing demand for facial trauma specialists. ### MDS Prosthodontics & Crown Bridge Dental implants, dentures, crowns. ₹1.5–5L/month with implant practice. Technology-heavy. Very strong earning with implantology skills. ### MDS Periodontics Gums, implants, supportive tissue. ₹1–3L/month. Complements Prosthodontics in implant practice. Accessible rank range. ### MDS Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics Root canals, tooth restoration. ₹1–3L/month. Backbone of general dental practice. Essential skill set. ### MDS Oral Pathology Lab-based diagnosis. Lower earnings in private practice but opens teaching/academic roles. Most accessible rank range. NEET PG (Dental) is mandatory for all MDS admissions. Management quota MDS seats are available at private dental colleges and deemed universities for qualifying NEET PG score holders. OEF assists with documentation, institutional coordination, and counselling process support. ## Step-by-Step MDS Admission — What You Actually Need to Do MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) is a 3-year postgraduate dental degree governed by the National Dental Commission (NDC), which replaced the Dental Council of India (DCI) on 19 March 2026. After completing BDS and one year of internship, you appear for NEET PG (dental). Here is the clear process. You must hold a BDS degree from an NDC-recognised institution and have completed the mandatory 1-year rotatory internship. There is no age limit for MDS admission. NEET PG is the single national entrance exam for MDS admission. Conducted by NTA, it covers all BDS subjects across 240 multiple-choice questions. Any qualifying score opens management quota seats. Higher scores give access to government counselling seats. MCC conducts MDS AIQ counselling for government dental college seats. State-specific counselling fills remaining state quota seats. These are based on NEET PG rank. Competitive branches like Orthodontics require significantly higher ranks than Oral Pathology or Community Dentistry. Live status, 12 August 2026: MCC's MDS Counselling 2026 page currently shows “Registration for Round 1 of MDS Counselling 2026 will commence soon” — registration has not opened yet. No date is published. Check mcc.nic.in directly rather than planning around an assumed date, and call us if you want to be notified the moment it opens. Private dental colleges and deemed dental universities offer MDS management quota seats for qualifying NEET PG scorers. No rank cutoff — only qualifying score required. OEF helps BDS graduates from NE India identify verified management quota MDS seats in Karnataka, Maharashtra, UP, and Tamil Nadu. NEET PG is mandatory for all MDS seats. No private dental college can legally offer MDS admission without a valid NEET PG score. OEF guides only through NDC-compliant processes. ### MDS Management Quota Fees (Approx.) Fees vary significantly by state and institution. Karnataka tends to be lowest for MDS. Call OEF for current verified data. ## MDS in Northeast India — An Honest Career Assessment Specialist dental care in Northeast India is at a very early stage. An MDS Orthodontist in Guwahati 15 years ago was a rarity. Today there are perhaps 30–40 across the entire region serving 45 million people. That ratio is still far below national average. An MDS graduate who sets up practice in any NE India state capital or Tier-2 city will typically reach full patient capacity within 6–12 months. Orthodontic practices in Guwahati charge ₹25,000–₹80,000 per case for braces and aligners. An active Orthodontist seeing 8–10 new cases per month can easily earn ₹3–5 Lakhs monthly within 2 years of setup. MDS Prosthodontics combined with implantology is also exceptionally profitable in NE India. Dental implant procedures (₹25,000–₹60,000 per implant) have growing acceptance. An MDS Prosthodontist with implantology training can build a ₹4–8 Lakh/month practice within 3–4 years. Best earning: Orthodontics, Prosthodontics + Implants Best accessibility: Conservative Dentistry, Oral Pathology Best for surgery: Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Best demand: All branches have good demand Management quota MDS (3 years, ₹5–25L/year) requires ₹15–75 Lakhs total investment. Orthodontics and Prosthodontics recover this within 2–4 years of practice. Less competitive branches recover faster due to lower fees. OEF helps you calculate realistic ROI before deciding. OEF guidance for MDS: We have guided BDS graduates from Assam, Manipur, and Meghalaya into MDS programmes. Our guidance covers branch selection based on your rank, institutional options in Karnataka and Maharashtra (best value for NE India students), fee negotiation transparency, and post-MDS practice planning. ## MDS Admission FAQs 2026 There is no attempt limit for NEET PG. You can appear every year until you qualify or secure the seat you want. Many BDS graduates take 1–2 attempts to achieve their target branch rank. OEF advises whether to proceed with the current score or attempt again based on realistic branch availability analysis. A focused BDS dentist with good clinical skills can also build a successful practice. However, MDS specialists command significantly higher fees for specific procedures. An Orthodontist can charge ₹25,000–₹80,000 per case versus a BDS dentist doing basic braces at ₹8,000–₹15,000. For those with the rank and budget, MDS is the better long-term investment — but BDS private practice is also a perfectly viable and profitable path. Karnataka has 33 private dental colleges with MDS programmes and generally lower fees (₹3–12L/year for management quota MDS). Maharashtra also has many options. OEF has established relationships with verified dental colleges in Karnataka and Maharashtra and has placed NE India students into MDS programmes there. Tamil Nadu and UP are also options but Karnataka gives the best combination of quality and value. Considering management or NRI quota for MDS?

MCC's Round 1 was revised on 19 August 2026, pushing several dates back by about a week; Round 2 onward have not been restated and are marked unconfirmed below.

Every chip below links back in spirit to a fully-sourced notification on the main NEET MDS Counselling 2026 page — fee tables, domicile rules, what each authority's notice does and does not say. Use this page to see the whole cycle at a glance and to spot the days where two or three authorities' deadlines land on top of each other. Tamil Nadu's MDS application closed 22 July 2026 with rank declaration and further dates still “to be notified”, so it has no entries on this calendar; check the main page for its current status. Maharashtra's chips (31 August – 11 September) reflect the State CET Cell's revised CAP Round 1 schedule; Gujarat's opening date is flagged rather than assumed — the source notice's own dates table reads “31/09/2026”, which is not a real date, so we read it as 31 August by inference.

Tamil Nadu's MDS application closed 22 July 2026 with no further dates announced, so it has no entries on this calendar past that date. Same underlying dates, different format. The main NEET MDS Counselling 2026 page explains each notification in full — fee tables, eligibility clauses, what each notice does and does not say, source citations. This calendar page is a fast visual reference for when things fall, month by month. If a date here needs context — domicile rules, fee figures, which portal to use — the main page has it. It depends which one. Missing an MCC All India Quota round usually still leaves the next round open to fresh registration, since MCC allows new candidates to join later rounds. Missing a state Round 1 window is more final — several of the state notifications on this page state plainly that there is no guarantee of a further round, and some run only a single round. Do not treat any date on this calendar as recoverable by default; confirm on the specific authority's own portal the moment you realise you are close to a deadline. Whenever an authority revises a NEET MDS 2026 date — Orchid Education Foundation updates this page and the main NEET MDS Counselling 2026 page together, on the same day the revision is confirmed against the issuing authority's own notice. The “last verified” date at the top of this page tells you when it was last checked as a whole. ## Send Us Your NEET MDS Rank. We'll Build the Calendar That Matters to You.

Confirm your own registration status and eligibility on dme.assam.gov.in before you act; the notice itself sets out schedule and eligibility only, not a seat matrix or category-wise vacancy count. ## Round 1 Result and Admission, for the Record Breaking · Notice Dated 2 September 2026 · No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196 Round 1 result is out — report to your allotted college by 5 September. DME Assam has published the provisional select list of candidates from the 1st Round of online counselling for admission into 1st year MBBS/BDS courses in the state's Government Medical & Dental Colleges, under Assam State Quota seats. The list is available on www.dme.assam.gov.in. PwD (Divyang) candidates provisionally selected must report with all relevant original certificates to the office of the Principal cum Chief Superintendent, Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, Bhangagarh, Guwahati (hospital premises), for verification of disability status by the Medical Board on 3 and 4 September 2026, 10:00 AM — missing this cancels the allotment. Every provisionally selected candidate, PwD or otherwise, must then report to the office of the Principal of their respective allotted college on 4 and 5 September 2026 for admission, or the allotment is cancelled. Conditions from the notice: admissions are provisional and subject to eligibility criteria; candidates must bring all original documents and Annexures along with admission and counselling fees of approximately ₹25,000 ; original Admit Card, HSLC and HSSLC mark sheets and pass certificates, caste certificate and related documents must be deposited with the Principal at admission; admission is subject to satisfactory medical fitness; furnishing false information leads to cancellation and criminal proceedings; and an agreement must be submitted within 15 days of admission. What this notice itself does not include: category-wise cut-off scores or ranks — DME Assam's admission notice sets out the reporting schedule only. Separately, from the Official Provisional Selection List published alongside it, the lowest MBBS score that secured a seat this round was 525 General, 512 EWS, 439 SC, 434 OBC/MOBC-NCL, 417 ST(Plains), 374 ST(Hills) ; BDS closed lower in every category, all at Government Dental College, Silchar.

DME Assam, Director Prof. (Dr.) M. K. Choudhury, issued a fresh notice on 28 August 2026: with Bongaigaon Medical College now added to the state's list of medical colleges, online choice filling for 1st Round counselling is extended and reopened 29 to 30 August 2026 (till 5 PM) , at the same link on dme.assam.gov.in. A revised Seat Matrix is being uploaded, and every candidate's previously locked choices are reopened — you can modify your choices before locking again if you want to, whether or not Bongaigaon itself interests you, since the matrix change may affect other colleges too. Locking of choices runs 30 August, 4 PM to 11:55 PM ; anything not locked manually locks automatically after that. Seat allotment is processed 31 August to 1 September . The college-wise list of provisionally selected candidates , with admission modalities, is due 2 September . Provisionally selected candidates must get admitted at their allotted institution on 4 or 5 September, during office hours . Memo No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/18-A. Candidates are directed to keep checking www.dme.assam.gov.in. ## Result Postponement, Now Overtaken by Events Superseded · Notice Dated 23 August 2026 · No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/18 The 1st Round result, earlier due 22 August, is postponed until further order. DME Assam's Controller of Examination, Prof. (Dr.) A. K. Das, issued a notice on 23 August 2026 stating that publication of the 1st Round online counselling result for State Quota seats in MBBS/BDS courses is postponed — the reason given is an extension of the 1st Round counselling schedule by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India, at the national level. No revised result date has been announced. Candidates are directed to visit www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly for updates; there is nothing further to do on your end right now beyond waiting for the fresh date. This does not cancel or restart the round — choice locking (closed 18 August) and seat allotment processing (19–21 August) both already happened; only the result announcement itself is delayed. If your rank is close to a cutoff and the wait is costing you time on other options, call us and we'll help you weigh the alternatives honestly rather than just wait it out blind. Update, 25 August: MCC has since declared its own AIQ Round 1 Final Result on 24 August 2026 (Notice No. 14) — the national-level extension that DME Assam cited as the reason for postponing its own result has therefore run its course. As of our last check, DME Assam had not yet published a revised result date. We are watching dme.assam.gov.in and will update this page the moment one appears. ## TGL/Ex-TGL Candidates, for the Record Urgent · TGL/Ex-TGL Candidates · Notice Dated 17 August 2026 If you registered for Round 1 under TGL/Ex-TGL category and have not yet reported to the Tea Tribes Welfare Directorate, do so immediately — choice locking has already closed and allotment is being processed. DME Assam's notice (No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/4) directs every candidate who registered for Round 1 online counselling under TGL/Ex-TGL category to report to the Directorate of Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare, Assam for verification of their category status, and to get their Annexure-VI signed by the Director, Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare , after authentication. The notice gives no separate date or deadline — the instruction is "immediately." Round 1 choice locking closed 18 August, 11:55 PM, and allotment processing is now under way (19–21 August). An unsigned or unverified Annexure-VI at this stage is a real risk to your TGL/Ex-TGL category claim holding up through allotment. Signed by Prof. (Dr.) M. K. Choudhury, Director of Medical Education, Assam, dated 17 August 2026. Candidates are directed to visit www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly for any update. If you are unsure whether this applies to you, or you cannot reach the Directorate today, call us and we will help you figure out the fastest path — this is not a step to guess your way through. The short version. DME Assam has opened 2nd round online counselling for vacant 1st-year MBBS/BDS State Quota seats (Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/1221, dated 5 September 2026). Round 1 registrants need not reapply and go straight to choice filling; new candidates register 6–7 September , choice filling runs 8–9 September , locking on 9 September (5–11:59 PM) , result on 11 September , and reporting/joining falls on 17–18 September . Below is how Round 1 played out. DME Assam ran the actual 1st Round of online counselling for MBBS/BDS state quota seats (Memo No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/16, e-signed by Director Prof. (Dr.) M. K. Choudhury, 12 August 2026). Registration ran 13 to 15 August, choice filling and locking followed, and the result — due 22 August — was postponed on 23 August, then rescheduled after Bongaigaon Medical College was added to the state's college list, with reopened choice filling 29–30 August and locking 30 August. The Round 1 provisional select list is now out (Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196, dated 2 September 2026). PwD candidates report for disability verification at Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, Bhangagarh, on 3 or 4 September ; every provisionally selected candidate must report to their allotted college on 4 or 5 September 2026 with original documents and roughly ₹25,000 in admission and counselling fees, or the allotment is cancelled. This process is open to General, PwD and every reserved and special category — SC/ST/OBC-MOBC, Moran/Motak/Tai Ahom/Chutia/Koch Rajbongshi/TGL, Freedom Fighters, Martyr of Assam Movement, Extremist Violence, Ex-Servicemen, Sports, Orphan — all register through the same online process; no offline counselling is held separately. The notice itself does not publish category-wise cut-off scores, but the Official Provisional Selection List shows the actual lowest MBBS score that got a seat: 525 General, 512 EWS, 439 SC, 434 OBC/MOBC-NCL, 417 ST(Plains), 374 ST(Hills) — see the full category-wise table, including BDS and PwD → ## Registration to Admission, the Schedule as It Stands Now | # | Stage | Date | |---|---|---| | 1 | Online registration | 13 – 15 August 2026, till 11:55 PM — done | | 2 | Online filling of choices (reopened for all candidates, revised Seat Matrix) | 29 – 30 August 2026, till 5:00 PM | | 3 | Locking of choices | 30 August 2026, 4:00 PM – 11:55 PM Auto-locked after 11:55 PM if not locked manually | | 4 | Processing of seat allotment | 31 August – 1 September 2026 | | 5 | College-wise provisional selection list, with admission modalities | 2 September 2026 | | 6 | Admission at allotted institution | 4 or 5 September 2026 During office hours | Why choice filling reopened after already closing once. Bongaigaon Medical College, Bongaigaon, was added to the state's list of Government Medical Colleges after the original 16–18 August choice-filling window and the 22 August result date had already been set (and then postponed 23 August). DME Assam's 28 August notice reopens filling for a revised Seat Matrix and unlocks every candidate's previously locked choices — whether or not Bongaigaon interests you, the matrix change can shift cut-offs at other colleges too, so it's worth reviewing your choices again rather than assuming nothing changed for you. This round is open to every eligible category in one process — General, PwD, all Reserved categories (SC/ST/OBC-MOBC-NCL, Moran/Motak/Tai Ahom/Chutia/Koch Rajbongshi, TGL/Ex-TGL) and Special category (Freedom Fighters, Martyr of Assam Movement, Extremist Violence, Ex-Servicemen/Serving Defence, Sports, Orphan). No separate offline counselling is held for any of these — if you qualify under a special or reserved category, you still register and fill choices through the same online system as everyone else. OBC/MOBC candidates in the creamy layer must apply under General category.

Choudhury, Director of Medical Education, Assam. Register at dme.assam.gov.in. Everything below is background, not a live deadline. Three earlier notices, issued 5 August 2026, opened separate windows to be included in or amend your standing on the Provisional Assam State Merit List — they are not the counselling round itself, and all three closed on 11 August. Kept here for reference, since knowing what they covered still matters for understanding your merit-list status. ## Special Quota Claims — Six Categories, One Form This notice invites applications from candidates seeking 1st year MBBS/BDS admission under Special Quota: Freedom Fighter, Martyr of Assam Movement, Extremist Violence, Ex-Serviceman and Serving Defence Personnel, Sports Quota, and Orphan Quota. The application form is on dme.assam.gov.in, and every field — name, parent or guardian's name, NEET-UG 2026 roll number, All India Rank, score, address, category tick-box — has to be filled and submitted in person with supporting document photocopies, per the MBBS/BDS Admission Rule 2017 as amended up to 2026. Read the Orphan Quota clause precisely. Gazette Notification No. MER.290222/548, dated 5 August 2026, reserves exactly 2 MBBS seats in Government Medical Colleges of Assam for orphans who are Assam domicile — and the notice defines “orphan” narrowly: a child whose both parents are dead . Not one parent. Both. If your situation is close but doesn't meet that literal wording, don't assume the office will interpret it generously — ask us or the DME office directly before you build a plan around it. ## Category Change, and a Door for Assam-Connected Candidates Who Sat NEET Elsewhere Two separate things happen in this one notice. First: candidates who wanted to change the category they claimed could apply in the prescribed format, available from 5 August at dme.assam.gov.in — that window closed 11 August 2026. Second, and more consequential: the Government of Assam has, via Gazette Notification No. MER.290222/371 dated 29 December 2025, omitted clause 3(i)(c) of the Admission Rules. In plain terms — candidates who appeared in NEET-UG 2026 from another State or Union Territory, but who belong to Assam and hold a valid Assam Permanent Resident Certificate, and are otherwise eligible, could apply on plain paper with valid documents to be included in the Provisional Assam State Merit List. That window closed 11 August 2026 too. There is a catch, and it's a real one. If your name gets included this way, you will subsequently have to produce a certificate proving three generations of your family have resided in Assam, in the proper format approved vide the same Notification No. MER.290222/548 dated 5 August 2026. That is not a document most families have sitting ready. If this route applies to you, start on that certificate today — it will very likely take longer than the eleven days you have to apply. The same 5 August notification — a full Assam Gazette Extraordinary publication, No. 387 — sets out exactly what this certificate has to say. It is called the Three-Generation Link Certificate , and it exists specifically for candidates residing or schooling outside Assam who are claiming State Quota seats. It has to name three generations by relationship — the candidate's parent, that parent's own parent, and that grandparent's own parent — each with their village or town, post office, police station and district, certifying all three were Permanent Residents of Assam. Crucially, the notification fixes one exact date: the cut-off for establishing this three-generation status is 1 January 2006 . The certificate has to be signed and sealed by the District Commissioner or an authorised officer of the concerned district, and, as with the schooling proforma, a certificate missing the required signature will not be accepted. ## The Provisional Merit List Is Out — and a New Document Requirement Comes With It The Provisional List of NEET-UG 2026 candidates who appeared from Assam is now on dme.assam.gov.in. DME states plainly that this Provisional List (Assam State Merit) will be updated in due course to include candidates who belong to Assam but appeared from another State or UT — which is exactly the door Notice 2, above, opens. Online counselling dates will follow separately, on the same website. The new requirement: every candidate applying for 1st year MBBS/BDS must now produce proof of their schooling record, Class I through Class XII, in a specific proforma attached to the notice. If you studied at more than one school across those twelve years, you need a separate certificate for each school, each one carrying the Head Master or Principal's full signature, seal, and date. The notice's own instruction is unambiguous: a certificate without the specified signatures will not be accepted. Twelve years of schooling records, potentially across several schools, each needing an authority's live signature and seal — this is the kind of document that takes real time to assemble, especially if you changed schools, or a school has since closed or changed management. Start collecting these now, whether or not you're applying for anything else on this page. If your rank does not reach the Assam state quota cutoff Do not wait for a second merit list to decide your next move. Assam has no private medical college of its own, so a rank outside the state quota cutoff does not mean waiting for the next round here — it means the clock is already running on your alternatives elsewhere, and several of those windows close within days, not weeks. Management quota seats in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and other states carry no domicile bar, and the nearest is PA Sangma International Medical College in Meghalaya , about an hour from Guwahati. If you qualify, NRI quota reaches further on the same rank. Call us now — 9085064444 — and we will tell you honestly, on your actual score, which of these is realistic before you lose the window to act on it. New Notice · 12 August 2026 · If You Schooled Outside Assam Physical document verification is now scheduled for 20 August. DME Assam issued a fresh Educational Notice (Memo No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/16-D, dated 12 August 2026) specifically for candidates included in the Provisional Assam State Merit List who resided or schooled outside Assam at any point between Class I and Class XII . If that describes you, you are directed to attend an offline counselling for document verification on 20 August 2026, from 10:00 AM , at the office of the DME, Assam, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati-22. Bring all three of the following in original, with the relevant Annexures: - Three (3) Generation link certificate - Permanent Residency Certificate - Schooling proof from Class I to Class XII This is separate from the special quota and category-change windows that closed 11 August — it applies specifically to candidates on the merit list whose schooling history includes time outside Assam, regardless of whether you applied under any special category. Watch dme.assam.gov.in for updates; the notice directs candidates to check regularly rather than expect an individual communication. ## What to Actually Do Before 11 August ### Check the provisional list Visit dme.assam.gov.in and confirm your name, roll number and details appear correctly on the Provisional List. An error here is far easier to fix now than after counselling starts. ### Get your schooling proforma signed One certificate per school attended, Class I to XII, Head Master or Principal's signature and seal, dated. Do this even before you know whether you need anything else on this page. ### Decide if a special or category quota genuinely applies Read the exact eligibility wording — especially the Orphan Quota's narrow definition — before you commit time to an application that won't be accepted. ### If you're Assam-connected but wrote NEET elsewhere Start the three-generations residency certificate immediately if you plan to apply for inclusion in the state merit list — it is the longest lead-time item on this page. Seat matrix and category-wise reservation for 2026 will be published separately on dme.assam.gov.in before counselling rounds begin — these three notices are about eligibility and documentation, not the seat count itself. For what the actual applicant pool looks like this year, category by category, see our Assam NEET UG 2026 cut-off analysis → , built from the same provisional list. Allotted a Seat? Post-Allotment Paperwork Download the official bond form, the document verification form, and register for anti-ragging — before you go for physical reporting. We've pulled DME Assam's Annexures & Service Bond document and Document Verification form as direct downloads, checked the real service bond numbers (Rs 30,00,000 MBBS / Rs 20,00,000 BDS) against DME Assam's own bond text, flagged what a widely-repeated Rs 3,00,000 discontinuation-bond claim couldn't confirm, and linked the national anti-ragging registration every medical college requires.

Educational Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/1221, dated 5 September 2026, opening 2nd round online counselling. Round 1 provisional select list: Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196, dated 2 September 2026. Three Educational Notices dated 5 August 2026: Memo No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/9 (Special Quota), e.DME/UG/2026/770111/8 (Category Change & Inclusion), and e.DME/UG/2026/770111/7 (Provisional List & Schooling Proforma), signed by Prof. (Dr.) M.

Das, Controller of Examination, postponing publication of the 1st Round result until further order (since overtaken by events). Referenced Gazette Notifications: MER.290222/548 (5 August 2026, Orphan Quota & residency certificate format) and MER.290222/371 (29 December 2025, omission of clause 3(i)(c)).

State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us No, not if you already registered and took part in Round 1 — Educational Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/1221, dated 5 September 2026, lets Round 1 registrants go straight to online choice filling for a fresh allotment or a college change. New candidates must register online 6 to 7 September 2026 (till 11:55 PM) at www.dme.assam.gov.in. Choice filling runs 8 to 9 September (till 10:00 PM), locking is 9 September (5 PM to 11:59 PM, auto-locked after), seat-allotment processing runs 10 to 11 September, the result is declared 11 September, and provisionally selected candidates must report to their allotted institution 17 to 18 September during office hours. This is the 2nd round for vacant 1st-year MBBS/BDS State Quota seats in Assam's Government Medical and Dental Colleges, following Round 1's provisional select list published 2 September 2026. Yes. DME Assam published the provisional select list for Round 1 of online counselling to Government Medical and Dental Colleges under Assam State Quota seats on 2 September 2026 (Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196), on www.dme.assam.gov.in. PwD (Divyang) candidates must report with original certificates to the Principal cum Chief Superintendent, Gauhati Medical College & Hospital, Bhangagarh, for disability verification on 3 or 4 September 2026 from 10:00 AM. Every provisionally selected candidate must then report to the Principal of their allotted college on 4 or 5 September 2026 with original documents and admission/counselling fees of roughly ₹25,000 — missing either deadline cancels the allotment. This notice itself announces the select list and reporting schedule only; the Official Provisional Selection List published alongside it shows the actual lowest MBBS score that got a seat this round — 525 General, 512 EWS, 439 SC, 434 OBC/MOBC-NCL, 417 ST(Plains), 374 ST(Hills), with BDS closing lower in every category. See our Assam Cut-Off page for the full category-wise breakdown, including BDS and PwD. Because Bongaigaon Medical College, Bongaigaon, was added to the state's list of Government Medical Colleges after the original schedule was already set. DME Assam's notice dated 28 August 2026 (No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/18-A) reopens online choice filling for everyone, not just new applicants, on 29 to 30 August 2026 till 5 PM, with a revised Seat Matrix uploaded first and every candidate's previously locked choices unlocked so they can be revised. Locking follows on 30 August, 4 PM to 11:55 PM (auto-locked after), seat allotment is processed 31 August to 1 September, the college-wise provisional list with admission modalities is due 2 September, and admission at the allotted institution falls on 4 or 5 September. This entirely supersedes the 23 August postponement notice below. DME Assam issued a notice on 23 August 2026 (No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/18), e-signed by Prof. (Dr.) A. K. Das, Controller of Examination, stating that publication of the 1st Round result for State Quota MBBS/BDS seats — originally due 22 August — is postponed until further order. The stated reason is an extension of the 1st Round counselling schedule by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), Government of India, at the national level. No revised result date has been announced; candidates are directed to check www.dme.assam.gov.in regularly. Choice locking (18 August) and seat allotment processing (19–21 August) both already took place — only the result announcement itself is delayed. Yes, urgently, if you have not already done so. A notice dated 17 August 2026 (No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/4) directs every candidate who registered for Round 1 counselling under TGL/Ex-TGL category to report immediately to the Directorate of Tea Tribes and Adivasi Welfare, Assam, for verification of their category status and to get their Annexure-VI signed by the Director after authentication. No separate deadline is given beyond "immediately" — Round 1 choice locking closed 18 August, 11:55 PM, and allotment processing is now under way (19–21 August). An unverified category claim at this stage risks the TGL/Ex-TGL reservation not being honoured in allotment. Signed by Prof. (Dr.) M. K. Choudhury, Director of Medical Education, Assam. Registration ran 13 to 15 August 2026, till 11:55 PM, at dme.assam.gov.in. Choice filling followed 16 to 18 August, till 10:00 PM. Choice locking closed 18 August at 11:55 PM — unlocked choices locked automatically in whatever order was last saved. Seat allotment was processed 19 to 21 August, but the result, originally due 22 August 2026, is now postponed until further order per a notice dated 23 August 2026, following an extension of MCC’s own Round 1 schedule. This single online process covers General, PwD, all Reserved categories and all Special categories — there is no separate offline round for any of them. Source: Memo No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/16 (schedule) and Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/18 (postponement), Directorate of Medical Education, Assam. Three separate educational notices, all dated and signed the same day by the Director of Medical Education, Assam, Prof. (Dr.) M. K. Choudhury. One opens special quota applications for Freedom Fighters, Martyr of Assam Movement, Extremist Violence victims, Ex-Servicemen and Serving Defence Personnel, Sports quota and Orphan quota. One opens applications for candidates who want to change their claimed category, and separately for Assam-connected candidates who wrote NEET from outside the state to get included in the Provisional Assam State Merit List. The third announces publication of the provisional NEET-UG 2026 merit list itself and introduces a mandatory schooling-record proforma. All three share the same 11 August 2026 deadline. Yes, if you are on the Provisional Assam State Merit List. A separate notice (Memo No. e.DME/UG/2026/770111/16-D, dated 12 August 2026) directs any merit-list candidate who resided or schooled outside Assam at any point between Class I and Class XII to attend offline document verification on 20 August 2026, from 10:00 AM, at the DME office, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati-22. Bring the original Three-Generation Link Certificate, Permanent Residency Certificate, and schooling proof from Class I to Class XII. This applies regardless of whether you applied under any special category, and is separate from the special quota and category-change windows that closed 11 August. Only two MBBS seats exist under this quota this year, reserved under Gazette Notification No. MER.290222/548 dated 5 August 2026, for candidates who are Assam domicile and meet the notice's own definition — a child whose both parents are dead. The window to apply closed on 11 August 2026: the Special Quota Claim Application Form, downloaded from dme.assam.gov.in, filled with your NEET-UG 2026 roll number, All India Rank and score, the Orphan Quota box ticked, supporting documents attached, submitted by hand to the DME office, 2nd floor, Room No. 5, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati. If you missed it, contact the DME office directly to ask whether any exception or later window applies — this page cannot confirm one either way. Two seats is a very small number in any case; be certain you genuinely qualify before pursuing this route further. Possibly, but read the notice's actual wording carefully. The Government of Assam withdrew clause 3(i)(c) of the MBBS/BDS Admission Rules 2017 under Gazette Notification No. MER.290222/371 dated 29 December 2025. Candidates who appeared in NEET-UG 2026 from another State or UT, but belong to Assam and hold a valid Permanent Resident Certificate of Assam, and are otherwise eligible under the Admission Rules, could apply on plain paper with valid documents to the DME office — but that window closed on 11 August 2026. If you missed it, contact the DME office directly to ask whether any exception applies; this page cannot confirm one. If you did apply and are included, you will subsequently have to produce a certificate proving three generations of your family have resided in Assam, in the format approved under the same 5 August notification. That is a real, specific documentary burden — gather it now rather than waiting for a call. A certificate covering your entire schooling record from Class I to Class XII, filled and signed by the Head Master or Principal of each school you attended, with their seal and the date. If you studied at more than one school, you need a separate certificate for each one, using photocopies of the same format. The notice states plainly that a certificate without the required signatures will not be accepted — get this from your school now, while records and staff are easy to reach, rather than scrambling once counselling rounds begin. By hand only, to the Office of the Director of Medical Education, Assam, 2nd Floor, Room No. 5, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati-22, during office hours — that submission window closed on 11 August 2026. All three notices stated explicitly that applications sent by post, email, or any other channel would not be accepted, and that no application would be considered after the deadline. If you missed it, contact the DME office directly rather than assume a late submission will be accepted. Gazetted the same day as the other notices, under Notification No. MER.290222/548 in Assam Gazette Extraordinary No. 387, this certificate is for candidates residing or schooling outside Assam who claim State Quota seats. It must name three generations by relationship — the candidate's parent, that parent's own parent, and that grandparent's own parent — each with village or town, post office, police station and district, certifying all three were Permanent Residents of Assam. The fixed cut-off date for establishing that status is 1 January 2006. It must be signed and sealed by the District Commissioner or an authorised officer of the concerned district; without that signature, it will not be accepted. ## Registering for 1st Round, or Sorting Out an Earlier Notice? Whether you're waiting on your 1st Round allotment result, working out if the 20 August document verification applies to you, or figuring out where an earlier special-quota or category-change window left you — walk into our Bormotoria Guwahati office with your papers and we'll go through it, free. --- # Assam DME MBBS/BDS 2026 — Admission Forms & Service Bonds Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/assam-mbbs-bds-admission-forms-bonds-2026.html # Allotted Through DME Assam? Your Forms, Your Bonds, and What They Actually Say Two official forms, one national anti-ragging registration, and two bond clauses that carry real financial consequences if misunderstood. We pulled the two forms directly from dme.assam.gov.in, checked the bond numbers against DME Assam's own Annexures & Bond document rather than repeat what a forum thread says, and marked plainly, item by item, what we could verify and what we couldn't. Where a widely repeated claim didn't show up in the official document, we say so — not confirmed as fact. Last verified · 23 August 2026 · against dme.assam.gov.in's published Annexures & Bond document The short version. Download the two official DME Assam forms below — the combined Annexures & Service Bond document and the UG Counselling Scrutiny / Document Verification form — straight from dme.assam.gov.in. Register separately for the anti-ragging affidavit at the national portal, antiragging.in, which every Indian medical college accepts regardless of which counselling authority allotted your seat. The Assam service bond penalty is Rs 30,00,000 for MBBS and Rs 20,00,000 for BDS if you refuse the state health service posting or exit early — this is confirmed directly from DME Assam's own bond document. A separately-discussed Rs 3,00,000 discontinuation bond for leaving an allotted seat, and specific stamp paper / notary requirements , are not confirmed in the official document we checked — treat those as claims to verify with DME Assam or your college directly, not settled fact. ## The Two Forms You Need After Allotment Both buttons link straight to DME Assam's own hosted PDF, so you always get the department's current version rather than a copy that can go stale. Fill in a few quick details first — free, takes 10 seconds — and we'll also flag if something about your situation needs a second look. ### MBBS/BDS Annexures & Service Bond Form The combined official document: Declaration by Parent/Guardian, Instructions to Candidates, Annexures I–IX, and the Schedule II-A (MBBS) / II-B (BDS) service bond formats in DME Assam's exact prescribed wording. ### UG Counselling Scrutiny / Document Verification Form The document-verification proforma used at physical reporting. We could not retrieve a readable content summary of this specific file to describe its fields here — download it directly from DME Assam and read it in full before your reporting date. These are official government files, hosted on dme.assam.gov.in. We link directly to DME Assam's own server rather than hosting a copy, so you always get the current published version. If either link doesn't open, DME Assam has likely moved or renamed the file — check the Forms/Downloads section of dme.assam.gov.in directly, or call us and we'll help you locate the current one. ## Anti-Ragging Registration — One Portal, Accepted Everywhere This is not a DME Assam form — it's a University Grants Commission and National Medical Commission mandated undertaking that every medical college in India requires, regardless of whether your seat came through DME Assam state counselling, MCC All India Quota, or any other authority. Register on the national Anti-Ragging Portal at antiragging.in/affidavit_affiliated_form.php → . The form asks for your personal details, your parent or guardian's details, and the name of the medical college you have been allotted, alongside an acknowledgment of UGC anti-ragging regulations and relevant Supreme Court directions. What we could confirm, and what we couldn't. We checked the portal page directly. It does collect candidate, parent/guardian and college/course details as described above. What it does not spell out on the page itself is whether a unique Reference ID is generated immediately, or whether the completed PDF documents are auto-emailed to you on submission. Several college and university sources (including institutional anti-ragging pages) describe the output as a two-page document — Page 1 a Student Affidavit, Page 2 a Parent/Guardian Undertaking — generated and emailed this way, and that matches how similar UGC-mandated portals generally function. Treat that specific mechanic as very likely accurate but not independently confirmed by us; you'll see the exact output the moment you submit the form. Print both pages once generated, get the student's and parent/guardian's signatures, and carry the signed printout to reporting alongside your DME Assam documents. If you run into any trouble with the portal, the National Anti-Ragging Helpline is 1800-180-5522 or helpline@antiragging.in , and is meant for exactly this kind of process query as well as ragging complaints. ## The Assam Service Bond — Verified Numbers, and What's Still Unconfirmed A bond is a legal undertaking with a real financial penalty attached. We checked DME Assam's own Annexures & Bond document rather than rely on secondhand summaries, and we're separating what that document confirms from what we found only in third-party sources. ### Compulsory Service Bond — Confirmed Source: Schedule II-A (MBBS) and II-B (BDS) of DME Assam's official bond document. After completing the MBBS/BDS degree and the mandatory one-year internship, a candidate who is offered a Government of Assam Health Services appointment and refuses it, or exits the service before completing the required period, is liable for a penalty of Rs 30,00,000 for MBBS and Rs 20,00,000 for BDS . The bond is executed with two witnesses, per its own "IN WITNESS WHEREOF… signed, sealed and delivered" clause. The commitment reported alongside this bond — a defined service period with a rural, NHM or underserved posting as part of it — is consistent with how Assam's mandatory service requirement is generally described; read your own bond copy's exact clause for the precise years and posting terms that apply to your batch. ### Discontinuation / Seat-Leaving Bond — Not Confirmed by Us Source: third-party counselling guides, not DME Assam's own bond document. Multiple counselling-guide websites describe a separate Rs 3,00,000 penalty for voluntarily resigning an allotted government seat, dropping out mid-course, or exiting after the free-exit deadline, with original documents held until the fee is cleared. When we checked the official Annexures & Bond document directly, we did not find this described as a distinct bond. It may exist in a year-specific prospectus clause or a college-level undertaking we don't have access to — we are not saying it's false, only that we could not verify it ourselves. Ask DME Assam or your allotted college to show you this in writing before you accept the figure. Stamp paper and notarisation — partially confirmed only. Confirmed: the bond text requires signatures witnessed by two people. Not confirmed in the document we reviewed: a specific non-judicial stamp paper denomination, or a requirement that the bond be sworn before a Notary Public or Magistrate. Some guides cite a stamp paper value of roughly Rs 100 or more from earlier years' prospectuses — stamp duty rules are state-specific and revised periodically, so confirm the exact current-year value against DME Assam's current prospectus, or ask your allotted college's admission office directly, before you get the paper prepared. Do not assume last year's figure still applies. On a related note — medical fitness certificates. We did not find any requirement for a medical fitness certificate in the Annexures & Bond document we reviewed. If your college specifically asks you for one as part of document verification, request their exact institution-specified format directly rather than substituting a certificate meant for an unrelated purpose — for instance, a Motor Vehicles Act driving-licence fitness certificate is not a valid substitute for any medical-admission document, since it tests entirely different things (driving-related vision distance, colour perception for road signals, and similar) and is not recognised for MBBS/BDS admission purposes. Directorate of Medical Education, Assam, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati-22. Forms sourced directly from dme.assam.gov.in: the MBBS/BDS Annexures & Service Bond document (Declaration by Parent/Guardian, Instructions to Candidates, Annexures I–IX, Schedule II-A/II-B service bonds) and the UG Counselling Scrutiny / Document Verification form. Anti-ragging registration per the national Anti-Ragging Portal, antiragging.in, administered under UGC Anti-Ragging Regulations and monitored by the Centre for Youth (C4Y) on behalf of UGC; National Anti-Ragging Helpline 1800-180-5522 / helpline@antiragging.in. The Rs 3,00,000 discontinuation-bond figure and specific stamp-paper/notarisation claims are attributed to third-party counselling-guide sources and are explicitly flagged above as unverified against the primary DME Assam document we reviewed on 23 August 2026. Always confirm current figures and requirements directly with DME Assam or your allotted college before signing any bond. How to use this page. Forms link directly to dme.assam.gov.in's own hosted files; we do not alter or re-host their content. Verified bond figures are sourced to DME Assam's own Schedule II-A/II-B; anything not found in that document is explicitly marked unconfirmed rather than presented as fact. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm, not an agent of DME Assam or any counselling authority, and cannot influence any allotment, bond term, or certificate approval. Always cross-check the current forms and bond wording on dme.assam.gov.in before you sign anything. ## Questions Allotted Candidates Ask Us Both are published directly on dme.assam.gov.in. The first is the combined MBBS/BDS Annexures and Service Bond form, which bundles the Declaration by Parent/Guardian, Instructions to Candidates, Annexures I through IX, and the Schedule II-A (MBBS) and II-B (BDS) service bond formats. The second is the UG Counselling Scrutiny / Document Verification form used at physical reporting. Download buttons for both are on this page, linking directly to DME Assam's own hosted PDFs so you always get the current version, not a copy that could go stale. Per Schedule II-A and II-B of DME Assam's own Annexures & Bond document: an MBBS graduate who is offered a Government of Assam Health Services appointment after their internship and refuses it, or resigns before completing the required service period, is liable for a penalty of Rs 30,00,000. The equivalent BDS bond penalty is Rs 20,00,000. The underlying commitment, consistent with how Assam's rural service mandate is generally reported, is service under the Government of Assam Health Services, including a posting to a rural, NHM or underserved facility as part of that service. Read your specific bond copy's exact wording before signing. This is a genuinely unresolved point, and we are flagging it rather than guessing. Several third-party sources describe a separate Rs 3 lakh "discontinuation" or "seat-leaving" penalty for candidates who resign an allotted government seat, drop out mid-course, or exit after the free-exit deadline. We did not find a distinct discontinuation bond described in DME Assam's own published Annexures & Bond document — only the Schedule II-A/II-B service bonds above. It's possible this exists in a separate year-specific prospectus clause or a college-level undertaking. Do not treat the Rs 3 lakh figure as confirmed until DME Assam or your allotted college shows it to you in writing. Confirmed from the bond document's own text: it must be signed in the presence of two witnesses, per the standard "IN WITNESS WHEREOF... signed, sealed and delivered" execution clause. Not confirmed: we could not find a specific non-judicial stamp paper denomination or a notary/magistrate attestation requirement stated in the copy of the document we reviewed. Some counselling guides mention a stamp paper value of around Rs 100 or more, drawn from prior years' prospectuses, but stamp paper rules can change yearly. Confirm the exact value and whether notarisation is required directly against the current year's DME Assam prospectus, or with the allotted college's admission office. Register at the national Anti-Ragging Portal, antiragging.in, under its Affiliated Institution Undertaking form. This is a UGC and NMC mandated undertaking that applies uniformly across Indian medical colleges regardless of which counselling authority allotted your seat, so it is valid whether you came through DME Assam state counselling or MCC All India Quota. We confirmed the portal collects candidate, parent/guardian and college/course details and records an acknowledgment of UGC regulations. We could not independently verify whether a Reference ID and auto-emailed PDF are generated immediately, or the exact two-page document structure some institutional sources describe — confirm the exact output once you submit the form yourself. ## A Bond You Didn't Read Fully Can Cost Lakhs Later. Wrong form at reporting, an unsigned anti-ragging undertaking, or a bond clause you didn't fully understand before signing — we see all three create real problems every counselling cycle. Send us your allotment details, and we'll walk you through exactly what to download, register, and sign, and what to double-check with DME Assam directly.

DME Assam's Round 1 provisional selection list (2 September 2026) shows the actual lowest MBBS score that got a State Quota seat: General 525, EWS 512, OBC/MOBC-NCL 434, SC 439, ST(Plains) 417, ST(Hills) 374. BDS closed lower in every category, all at Government Dental College, Silchar: General 505, EWS 503, OBC/MOBC-NCL 424, SC 422, ST(Plains) 406, ST(Hills) 365. A small number of PwD (Divyang) MBBS seats were also filled, as low as 179–268 marks depending on category; no PwD seat was filled in BDS this round. Special-category seats (Moran, Ex-Servicemen and similar) are excluded from these regular-category figures. Full table and source note below. ## The Actual Cut-Off — Lowest Score That Got a Seat, Round 1 DME Assam's Round 1 provisional selection list for Assam State Quota MBBS and BDS seats is out. The tables below give the lowest NEET UG 2026 score that actually secured a seat in each regular category, and the college where that lowest-scoring candidate was allotted a seat — this is the real closing point, not a projection. ### MBBS — Regular Category | Category | Lowest Score | College | |---|---|---| | General | 525 | Kokrajhar Medical College, Kokrajhar | | EWS | 512 | Tinsukia Medical College, Tinsukia | | SC | 439 | Bongaigaon Medical College, Bongaigaon | | OBC/MOBC (NCL) | 434 | Bongaigaon Medical College, Bongaigaon | | ST (Plains) | 417 | Dhubri Medical College, Dhubri | | ST (Hills) | 374 | ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Beltola | ### BDS — Regular Category | Category | Lowest Score | College | |---|---|---| | General | 505 | Government Dental College, Silchar | | EWS | 503 | Government Dental College, Silchar | | SC | 422 | Government Dental College, Silchar | | OBC/MOBC (NCL) | 424 | Government Dental College, Silchar | | ST (Plains) | 406 | Government Dental College, Silchar | | ST (Hills) | 365 | Government Dental College, Silchar | Every BDS seat filled this round — across all six categories — went to Government Dental College, Silchar. That is a reflection of Assam's very small BDS seat pool (176 seats across 3 government dental colleges), not an error in the data. ### PwD (Divyang) — MBBS | Category | Lowest Score | College | |---|---|---| | PwD — General | 195 | Kokrajhar Medical College, Kokrajhar | | PwD — EWS | 196 | Silchar Medical College, Silchar | | PwD — SC | 268 | Gauhati Medical College, Guwahati | | PwD — ST (Plains) | 205 | Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh | | PwD — OBC/MOBC (NCL) | 179 | Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh | PwD — BDS: No PwD selection is recorded in the Round 1 list for BDS seats. Special-category selections such as Moran and Ex-Servicemen quotas are excluded from every table above — they run on their own separate, much smaller seat counts and closing points; see the reservation structure further down this page for how those are carved out. Source, verified. These figures are verified against the Official Provisional Selection List, NEET UG 2026, published by the Directorate of Medical Education, Assam, alongside Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196 dated 2 September 2026, and compiled into the tables above for readability. As with any official list, DME Assam can issue a corrigendum after publication — always confirm your own specific result against your candidate login at dme.assam.gov.in, and let us know if you spot a revision so we can update this page immediately. ## 36,268 Names, Category by Category | Category | Appeared | Qualifying Floor | Cleared the Floor | |---|---|---|---| | General | 16,542 | 213 (50th percentile) | 7,064 | | Gen-EWS | 4,078 | 213 (50th percentile) | 2,817 | | OBC/MOBC-NCL | 7,451 | 177 (40th percentile) | 4,313 | | ST | 5,518 | 177 (40th percentile) | 2,705 | | SC | 2,679 | 177 (40th percentile) | 1,520 | | Total | 36,268 | — | 18,419 | Two things worth sitting with. First: clearing the national qualifying floor is not the same as being competitive for a seat — barely half of everyone who appeared even cleared it, and the seats that matter close far above that floor, as the table below shows. Second: a small number of additional rows (fewer than 300 across all categories) carry a PwBD or PwD marker with their own separate, lower closing points — we've kept the main table to the five broad categories DME Assam itself lists first. ## The Seat Pool These 36,268 Candidates Are Competing For | Institution Type | MBBS Seats | Quota Split | |---|---|---| | Government Medical Colleges (15) | 1,925 | 85% state quota, 15% All India Quota | | AIIMS Guwahati | 100 | All India Quota process, separate rules | | ESIC Medical College, Beltola | 50 | 25% IP ward, 8 AIQ, 17 state quota | | Total MBBS, Assam | ~2,075 | — | | Government Dental Colleges (3) | 176 BDS | Same 85/15 state-AIQ structure | Updated to include Bongaigaon Medical College, which received NMC approval for 100 MBBS seats for AY 2026-27 — the 15th state Government Medical College, taking Assam's overall medical college tally to 17 including the 2 Government-of-India institutions (AIIMS Guwahati, ESIC Beltola). Seat figures are compiled from multiple independent, currently-published sources and represent the expected 2026 total — DME Assam's own official Round 1 seat matrix, category-wise, is published separately closer to counselling and can differ from this, particularly for a newly-approved college like Bongaigaon where a first-batch seat matrix may not yet be finalised. Assam runs no private medical colleges; every MBBS seat in the state is government, AIIMS, or ESIC. ## The Official Reservation Structure — This Is Why the Percentages Aren't a Rumour On the same day DME Assam published the provisional merit list, the Government of Assam gazetted a full rewrite of Schedule-III of the MBBS/BDS Admission Rules 2017 — Notification No. MER.290222/548, published in the Assam Gazette Extraordinary No. 387. This is the actual legal reservation structure behind every category on this page, not an estimate. Here it is, exactly as gazetted. ### Step 1 — What Gets Carved Out Before “State Quota” Even Begins | Allocation | MBBS | BDS | |---|---|---| | All India Quota | 15% of total seats | 15% of total seats | | Central Pool | 6 seats | Nil | | Royal Government of Bhutan | 5 seats (2 Gauhati MC, 2 Nalbari MC, 1 Barpeta MC&H) | Nil | | NE states with no medical college of their own | 12 seats (Meghalaya 10, Nagaland 2*) | 18 seats (Regional Dental College) | | State Quota | Whatever remains after all of the above | | *Nagaland's 2 MBBS seats reduce once the first batch passes out of Nagaland's own Government Medical College. ### Step 2 — How That State Quota Is Then Split | Category | MBBS | BDS | |---|---|---| | OBC/MOBC (Non-Creamy Layer) | 27% of State Quota | 27% of State Quota | | SC | 7% of State Quota | 7% of State Quota | | ST (Plains) | 10% of State Quota | 10% of State Quota | | ST (Hills) | 5% of State Quota | 5% of State Quota | | EWS | 6% of State Quota | 10% of State Quota | | NRI / NRI-sponsored | 7% of the balance after SC/ST/EWS/OBC-MOBC deduction | Nil | | Orphans, Assam domicile | 2 seats | Nil | | PwBD (Divyang) | 5%, horizontal within existing reservations | 5%, horizontal | This explains a pattern in our own data. Look back at the applicant table above — OBC/MOBC-NCL is Assam's single largest reserved-category pool at 7,451 candidates, and 27% is a noticeably larger reservation than most other states carry for this category. The two facts line up. ST is split into Hills and Plains at the reservation level too (10% and 5% respectively), which is exactly why we could not give you one blended ST cut-off earlier on this page — the gazette itself treats them as two separate pools with two separate percentages. ### Named-Community Seats, Carved Out of the 27% OBC/MOBC Pool Six specific communities have their own fixed seat counts sitting inside the OBC/MOBC 27%, not on top of it. A candidate from one of these communities needs a certificate specifying that exact community by name, not just a generic OBC/MOBC certificate. | Community | MBBS (within OBC/MOBC) | BDS (within OBC/MOBC) | |---|---|---| | Tea Garden / Ex-Tea Garden (TGL/Ex-TGL) | 30 (Brahmaputra Valley 22, Barak Valley 8) | 3 (Brahmaputra Valley 2, Barak Valley 1) | | Koch Rajbangshi | 14 | 1 | | Tai Ahom | 11 | 1 | | Chutia | 10 | 1 | | Moran | 9 | 1 | | Motak | 9 | 1 | ### Small, Fixed-Number Special Quotas | Quota | MBBS | BDS | |---|---|---| | Ex-Servicemen & Serving Defence Personnel from Assam | 9 (1 each at AMC, GMC, SMC, JMC, Barpeta MC, Tezpur MC, Diphu MC, LMC, Dhubri MC) | 3 (1 per dental college) | | Freedom Fighter — direct descendants | 2 | Nil | | Extremist Violence victims' family (one-time per family) | 2 | Nil | | Martyrs of Assam Movement — direct descendants | 2 | Nil | | Sports Quota | 1 | Nil | | Orphans, Assam domicile | 2 | Nil | If a candidate under Ex-Servicemen, Freedom Fighter, Extremist Violence or Martyr quota also belongs to a reserved category (ST/SC/OBC-MOBC/EWS), they are adjusted against their own category first; the special-quota seat opens as Unreserved only if no suitable candidate is available. Sports Quota merit is decided by an eight-tier medal hierarchy from Olympic medals down to State Games medals, with NEET-UG PCB marks as the tiebreaker — and the candidate must have won at least a State-level medal within the three years before the entrance exam. ## How We Built Our Pre-Allotment Estimate This section is now superseded by the actual Round 1 result at the top of this page. We keep it below for transparency about our own method — it held up reasonably well against what actually happened. Before the result was out, a cut-off was not something you could read straight off a merit list. It is the rank at which seats actually ran out last time, and that depends on how many candidates in each category, how many seats, and how many people who were offered a seat actually took it. We used a two-step approach rather than guess. Step one — we looked at how the Assam state quota's last closing rank has actually moved over the past three years: roughly AIR 69,230 for General in 2024, AIR 180,259 to 250,625 for OBC/MOBC-NCL across 2023–2024, AIR 193,800 to 229,252 for SC across 2024–2025, and a clear multi-year trend upward in every category, consistent with more candidates and, this cycle, an easier paper. From that trend, a reasonable expected closing rank for 2026 lands around AIR 90,000–92,000 for General, roughly AIR 225,000 for OBC, AIR 240,000–245,000 for SC, and a wide AIR 300,000 (Plains) to AIR 440,000 (Hills) range for ST. Step two, and this is the part nobody else has done — we took those projected 2026 rank figures and matched them against the actual scores of real candidates at those exact ranks in this year's Assam applicant pool, from the provisional list itself. That conversion is what turns “closes around All India Rank 91,000” into “closes around 499 marks,” because rank-to-marks only means something once you have this year's real distribution, not an assumption carried over from a different year's paper. Say plainly what this is not. This is not DME Assam's official cutoff. It is not a guarantee. Counselling outcomes depend on choice-filling behaviour, how many candidates from outside Assam get added to the merit list under the category-inclusion window that just opened, how many offered seats are actually accepted versus vacated, and decisions DME Assam has not published yet. Treat every number on this page as a working estimate to plan around, not a promise to bank your family's decision on. ## Our Pre-Allotment Estimate of Closing Scores, 2026 | Category | Expected Closing AIR | Estimated Score | |---|---|---| | General (UR) | ~90,000 – 92,000 | ~495 – 505 | | EWS | ~92,000 – 94,000 | ~493 – 500 | | OBC/MOBC-NCL | ~225,000 | ~420 | | SC | ~240,000 – 245,000 | ~410 – 415 | | ST (Plains) | ~300,000 | ~385 – 390 | | ST (Hills) | ~440,000 | ~340 – 345 | Historical rank trend from published year-on-year Assam counselling data (2023–2025); score conversion is our own, computed against this year's actual 36,268-candidate Assam applicant pool from the DME provisional list dated 5 August 2026. Read the three official DME notices published alongside this list → ## If Your Score Sits Below These Ranges We would rather tell you this plainly now than have you spend the next month refreshing a portal for a seat that was never realistically going to come. If your score sits meaningfully below your category's estimated range above, an Assam government MBBS seat through state quota this year is unlikely. That is not a judgement on you — the paper was easier this cycle, more people cleared it, and the ranks moved up for everyone at once. What it does mean is that the fortnight ahead is better spent looking at what your actual number opens, rather than waiting on a number it likely won't reach. That could be BDS or BAMS, which qualify at a meaningfully lower floor. It could be MBBS through management quota in a state where seats are still being allotted. It could be the 15% All India Quota, where your Assam category doesn't apply but your raw rank might land somewhere useful. None of these are consolation prizes — they are real medical degrees, and for a lot of families they turn out to be the better fit once the fees and the five years are actually laid out side by side. We are not going to tell you your score is fine when the data says otherwise, and we are not going to push you toward a private seat you haven't asked about. If you want to know, plainly, what your specific number and category actually open right now — in Assam or outside it — walk into our Guwahati office or call. We'll tell you the truth either way. The Round 1 actual cut-off table at the top of this page is verified against the Official Provisional Selection List, NEET UG 2026, published by the Directorate of Medical Education, Assam, alongside Notice No. e.DME/UG/2026/790538/1196 dated 2 September 2026, and compiled into readable tables. Applicant-pool figures (36,268 total, category breakdown, qualifying-floor counts) below are our own count from “Provisional List of NEET-UG-2026 Candidates Who Appeared from the State of Assam,” published by DME Assam, dated 5 August 2026 — all 617 pages read in full; this was the pre-allotment merit list, not the Round 1 result. The reservation percentages and seat allocations are transcribed directly from the Assam Gazette Extraordinary No. 387, dated 5 August 2026, Notification No. MER.290222/548 (Medical Colleges and Dental Colleges of Assam, Regulations of Admission Amendment Rules, 2026, Schedule-III), signed by Siddharth Singh, Commissioner & Secretary, Medical Education & Research Department. The pre-allotment estimate further up this page used historical closing-rank trend (2023\u20132025) from third-party published counselling-trend analysis, clearly attributed as such, not DME Assam\u2019s own figures, and is retained for transparency about our method now that the actual result has superseded it. Total seat-count figures are compiled from multiple independently published sources current as of August 2026. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 19 August 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Per the Round 1 provisional selection list DME Assam published on 2 September 2026, the lowest MBBS scores that secured a State Quota seat were: General 525 (Kokrajhar Medical College), EWS 512 (Tinsukia Medical College), OBC/MOBC-NCL 434 (Bongaigaon Medical College), SC 439 (Bongaigaon Medical College), ST(Plains) 417 (Dhubri Medical College), ST(Hills) 374 (ESIC Medical College & Hospital, Beltola). BDS closed lower across every category, all at Government Dental College, Silchar: General 505, EWS 503, OBC/MOBC-NCL 424, SC 422, ST(Plains) 406, ST(Hills) 365. These figures are compiled from the official provisional selection list and exclude special-category seats such as Moran and Ex-Servicemen quotas, which have their own separate closing points. Closely, and slightly higher across the board — which is normal once real choice-filling behaviour is in the mix rather than a rank-based projection. Our pre-allotment estimate (further down this page, published 21 August 2026) projected General around 495–505, OBC/MOBC-NCL around 420, SC around 410–415, and ST in a wide 340–390 band. The actual Round 1 result came in at 525 General, 434 OBC/MOBC-NCL, 439 SC, 417 ST(Plains) and 374 ST(Hills) — all within or just above the projected range, confirming the trend-based method held up reasonably well this year. We keep the original estimate on this page for transparency about our own methodology, but the actual Round 1 figures above are now the number that matters. 36,268, according to our own count of every row in the provisional list DME Assam published on 5 August 2026. That is everyone who marked Assam as their state and appeared for the Re-NEET on 21 June 2026, including candidates who did not clear the national qualifying floor. Of those 36,268, 18,419 actually cleared it — 213 marks for General and EWS, 177 for OBC/MOBC-NCL, SC and ST. Based on how the General category's closing rank has moved over 2023 to 2025 (Assam State Quota closed at AIR 69,230 in 2024, per published historical data) and applying that same trend to the actual 2026 Assam applicant pool we analysed, the General category state quota is likely to close somewhere around All India Rank 90,000 to 92,000 — which lines up with roughly 495 to 505 marks in this year's pool. This is an estimate built from trend analysis, not an official cutoff, and DME Assam has not published one. Using the same method — historical closing-rank trend applied to this year's real applicant numbers — OBC/MOBC-NCL looks likely to close near AIR 225,000, roughly 420 marks. SC near AIR 240,000 to 245,000, roughly 410 to 415 marks. Per the Assam Gazette reservation schedule dated 5 August 2026, OBC/MOBC gets 27% of state quota seats, SC gets 7%. ST is the category to read most carefully, because the same gazette reserves 10% of state quota for ST(Plains) and a separate 5% for ST(Hills), which close at very different points — ST(P) has historically closed far earlier than ST(H). Our estimate treats ST as one combined band, roughly 340 to 390 marks, and you should treat that range as wide rather than precise for this reason. No, and this is worth knowing. Assam's admission rules carry additional reservation categories beyond the four broad ones — Koch-Rajbongshi, Tai-Ahom, Motak, Chutia, Moran, Char Area, Tea Garden Labourer (TGL/Ex-TGL) for both Barak and Brahmaputra valleys, Government School quota, Freedom Fighter, Sports, Ex-Serviceman, and more, each with its own closing rank. If one of these applies to you specifically, the broad category estimates on this page are not the number to anchor on — ask us and we'll look at your specific category. Genuinely worth thinking through rather than assuming the door is shut. A NEET UG 2026 score below the likely Assam state quota range can still open BDS, BAMS, BHMS, or MBBS through management quota in private colleges in states like West Bengal, Karnataka or Gujarat, or the 15% All India Quota where competition works differently. We are not going to tell you your score is fine when it likely isn't for Assam government MBBS this year — but we are also not going to let you assume nothing is left. Come in, or call, and we will lay out what genuinely fits your number. ## One Honest Conversation Beats a Month of Guessing. Bring your NEET UG 2026 scorecard to our Bormotoria Guwahati office, or call. We'll tell you plainly where you stand for Assam state quota, and what else genuinely fits if it doesn't — no pressure, no pushing. --- # Meghalaya NEET Counselling 2026 — State Quota Dates, Updated 1 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/meghalaya-neet-counselling-2026.html # Meghalaya MBBS 2026 — State Quota Counselling Under Way, 1–3 September The Directorate of Health Services, Medical Education & Research, Government of Meghalaya opened State Quota counselling today for MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS and BUMS together — covering Central Pool seats and Shillong Medical College. It runs three days, 1 to 3 September, at the DME's conference room in Laitumkhrah. Can't make your assigned Day 1 slot? The notice lets you turn up on Day 2 or Day 3 instead, which takes real pressure off families travelling in from outside Shillong. Three original documents are non-negotiable at the counselling table: birth certificate, Permanent Residential Certificate, and SC/ST certificate where it applies. This sits alongside P.A. Sangma International Medical College's own counselling, covered in full further down this page, which wrapped up its three-day window on 20 August. Last verified · 1 September 2026 · against meghealth.gov.in and the DME’s Notification No. DHSMER150./MBBS Admission/2026-27/5286, 31 August 2026 The short version. Meghalaya's State Quota counselling for MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS and BUMS — Central Pool seats plus Shillong Medical College — is under way right now: 1 to 3 September 2026 , at the Directorate of Health Services (MI) Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong-1 . Missed your Day 1 slot? The notice (No. DHSMER150./MBBS Admission/2026-27/5286, 31 August 2026) lets you show up on Day 2 or Day 3 instead. Bring the originals — birth certificate, Permanent Residential Certificate, and SC/ST certificate where it applies — photocopies alone won't get you through the door. Separately, P.A. Sangma International Medical College, Baridua (run under USTM, 150 MBBS seats split across NRI, State and Management quota) already completed its own three-day counselling on 18–20 August; that shortlist, NEET score ranges and fee detail are further down this page. ## Seven Days to Apply, Then the List Goes Up | Stage | Date & time | |---|---| | Online application opens | 7 August 2026, from 12:00 noon | | Online application closes | 13 August 2026, 5:00 PM | | List of shortlisted candidates for counselling | Published 18, 19 and 20 August 2026 (Notification No. 4845-A) | | Counselling, document verification & reporting (PIMC) | Office of the DME, Top Floor, Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong — 18, 19, 20 August, by category/time slot per the shortlist | | Allotment letter issue and download (PIMC) | To be notified by the DME | | Separate notice — State Quota counselling, MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BHMS/BUMS (Central Pool seats & Shillong Medical College) | 1–3 September 2026, DME (MI) Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Laitumkhrah — Day 2/3 attendance allowed if you miss Day 1 (Notification No. DHSMER150./MBBS Admission/2026-27/5286, 31 August 2026) | | Portal | meghealth.gov.in | The three shortlist dates turned out to be a staggered publication by category and NEET score band, each with its own reporting time slot — not three copies of the same list. Every candidate must check their own name and time slot on the official shortlist rather than assume a single reporting time for all of PIMC. ## The Full Four-Round NEET-UG 2026 Schedule | Round | All India Quota / Deemed & Central Universities | Meghalaya State Counselling | |---|---|---| | Round 1 | 4–17 August 2026 | 13–22 August 2026 | | Last date of joining, Round 1 | 22 August 2026 | 28 August 2026 | | Round 2 | 24 August–2 September 2026 | 31 August–8 September 2026 | | Last date of joining, Round 2 | 8 September 2026 | 14 September 2026 | | Round 3 | 10–18 September 2026 | 16–26 September 2026 | | Last date of joining, Round 3 | 26 September 2026 | 1 October 2026 | | Stray Vacancy | 28 September–3 October 2026 | 3–5 October 2026 | | Last date of joining, Stray Vacancy | 10 October 2026 | 10 October 2026 | | Commencement of academic session | 8 September 2026 | | This is the same NEET-UG 2026 schedule used across most state counselling authorities this year, reproduced here as it appears in PIMC’s own advertisement. If your PIMC shortlist rank does not convert to a seat in Round 1, Rounds 2 and 3 run into September — do not treat 20 August as the last chance. ## Where the Seats Sit, and Who Can Reach Them | Quota | Seats | Who is eligible | |---|---|---| | State Quota | 64 | Meghalaya ST / SC / OST certificate holders, or Meghalaya PRC holders for the Unreserved share | | Management Quota | 64 | Any Indian citizen — no domicile condition stated | | NRI Quota | 22 | NRIs, with a certificate from the Indian Diplomatic Mission in the country of residence | | State Quota category | Seats | Share | Certificate required | |---|---|---|---| | Khasi & Jaintia (incl.

Letter No. POL.97/74/174 dated 10 July 1983 | | SC / OST (incl. PwBD) | 3 | 5% | OSC / OST certificate from Govt. of Meghalaya | PwBD candidates are absorbed inside each of the four categories rather than given a separate block, so a PwBD applicant still competes within their own tribal or resident category. ## The Shortlist Is Out — Here Are the Score Ranges, Not the Names | Category | Seats | Candidates shortlisted | NEET score range (top–bottom of list) | |---|---|---|---| | Unreserved (Meghalaya) | 9 | 45 | 472–400 | | ST — Khasi & Jaintia Quota | 26 | 162 | 467–306 | | ST — Garo Quota | 26 | 44 | 380–181 | | SC/OST (Meghalaya) Quota | 3 | 12 | 389–226 | | Management Quota | 64 | 118 | 504–179 | | NRI Quota | 22 | No separate shortlist published as of this writing | | What we did and did not publish. These counts and score ranges are OEF’s own compilation from the DME’s official shortlist PDF. We deliberately do not reproduce any candidate’s name or NEET roll number on this page — that is between you and the DME. Check your own name and reporting time slot directly at meghealth.gov.in or on the notice board at the DME office. Two things worth reading into this table rather than just the totals. First, a shortlist is a call-list for document verification, not a final allotment — seats fill from the top of each list downward, in the order candidates report, freeze or float, so the bottom score on a list is not a promise of a seat, it is the DME’s buffer against no-shows. Second, the buffer size varies sharply by category: Khasi & Jaintia called 162 names for 26 seats (a 6× buffer) and SC/OST called 12 for 3 (4×), so realistically only the upper part of those two lists will convert to a seat in Round 1. Garo called only 44 for 26 seats (under 1.7×) — a much thinner buffer, which means most candidates on that list, even one scoring 181, have a real chance across the three rounds. Management sits in between: 118 shortlisted against 64 seats, roughly 1.8×. If your score falls below even the Management Quota floor of 179, PIMC will not convert to a seat this year through any of its five published lists. At that point the realistic options are a Round 2/3 stray-vacancy seat elsewhere, a management or NRI quota seat at a private or deemed college outside the Northeast, or reassessing next year. That is exactly the conversation to have with us before you spend money chasing a seat the numbers do not support — see the free-consultation box below. ## Counselling Venue and the No-Vehicles Notice | Detail | What the DME notified | |---|---| | Dates | 18, 19 and 20 August 2026 | | Venue | Office of the Director of Health Services, Medical Education & Research (DME), Top Floor, Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong — not the PIMC campus at Baridua | | Reporting time | As assigned to each candidate on the published shortlist — check your own slot, they differ by category and score band | | Documents to bring | All originals listed in Advertisement No. 4622 (6 August); one set of self-attested photocopies; one self-attested passport-size photo | | Parking | No vehicles permitted inside the Health Complex campus due to limited parking space. Arrange drop-off and pick-up outside the campus and cooperate with security/traffic-control staff. | If you are travelling from Guwahati, budget extra time for the walk in from wherever your vehicle can drop you — Laitumkhrah is a busy stretch of Shillong on a counselling day, and this is a documented restriction, not a general caution. ## A ₹17 Lakh Gap Between Two Seats in the Same Classroom | Payment | State Quota | Management Quota | NRI Quota | |---|---|---|---| | Application fee | ₹500 | ₹500 | ₹500 | | Counselling fee | Nil | ₹3,000 | ₹25,000 | | Tuition fee (non-refundable) | ₹4,95,000 | ₹22,00,000 | USD 43,000 | The State Quota exemption applies to the application fee for SC, OST and ST candidates. Tuition is subject to the fee fixation committee, so treat the figures above as the published position on 6 August 2026 rather than a locked contract. Payment runs through SB-Collect, and the advertisement warns explicitly that money leaving your bank account is not by itself proof of payment — keep the transaction receipt and the confirmation page. The advertisement does not list hostel, mess, caution deposit, university registration or examination charges. Every private medical college in the region carries them. Before you accept a Management seat, ask the college in writing for the total first-year outflow and the year-on-year escalation clause. We have seen families budget for the tuition line alone and get a bill 25–35% higher at reporting. ## What Each Quota Actually Asks For | Requirement | Detail | |---|---| | NEET UG 2026 | Declared qualified. Merit and rank determined on the NEET UG 2026 All India Rank. | | Class 12 aggregate in PCB | 50% for General; 40% for ST / SC / OST. English must be one of the subjects passed. | | Age | Not below 17 years as on 31 December of the year of admission. | | Medical fitness | Certified by a medical board constituted by the Health & Family Welfare Department, Government of Meghalaya. | | PwBD assessment | Only from Medical Assessment Boards notified under the latest NMC regulations. | | State Quota domicile | Meghalaya ST / SC / OST certificate from the competent authority, or Meghalaya PRC per Political Deptt. Letter No. POL.97/74/174 dated 10 July 1983. | | Management Quota | Indian citizenship. No domicile requirement stated. | | NRI Quota | Certificate from the Indian Diplomatic Mission in the country of residence. Admissions must comply with the revised MCC guidelines of 27 May 2026. | One line in the eligibility section is worth flagging: the 40% PCB relaxation for ST / SC / OST applies to Meghalaya candidates claiming State Quota seats. If you are applying under Management Quota from outside the state, the advertisement's General threshold of 50% is what you should plan against. ## The NEET UG 2026 Percentile Table | Category | Percentile | Score band | |---|---|---| | General | 50th | 715–213 | | General — PwBD | 45th | 212–194 | | SC / ST / OBC | 40th | 212–177 | | SC / OBC — PwBD | 40th | 193–177 | | ST — PwBD | 40th | 193–177 | The printed advertisement shows the OBC band as 212–197, which does not match the NTA-published 40th percentile floor of 177 that the same table applies to SC and ST. We have set it out here against the NTA position. If you are an OBC candidate scoring between 177 and 197, raise it with the DME office in writing before the 13 August cut-off rather than assuming either reading. Our full breakdown is on the NEET UG 2026 qualifying marks page . ## Originals You Must Carry to Laitumkhrah | Document | Applies to | |---|---| | Age proof certificate | All | | NEET UG 2026 score card and admit card | All | | Class 10 and Class 12 mark sheets and passing certificates | All | | Domicile / Permanent Resident Certificate | State Quota Unreserved | | ST / SC / OST certificate | State Quota reserved categories | | Passport-size photographs | All | | NRI status proof, passport and visa, relationship documents, sponsorship documents, MCC-prescribed affidavits | NRI Quota | On false documents. Clause 8 sets out three consequences and none of them are discretionary: admission cancelled at whatever stage the discovery is made, a three-year debarment from any State Government quota course, and legal or criminal proceedings against the candidate and, where applicable, the parents or guardian. The clause names Meghalaya ST / SC / OST and Permanent Resident Certificates specifically, which tells you where the scrutiny will focus. ## The Nearest Open Door Is 40 Minutes Away Baridua sits on the Guwahati–Shillong road at 9th Mile, inside Ri-Bhoi district. From Six Mile in Guwahati it is roughly an hour's drive. For an Assam family that has spent July watching state after state close its quota to outsiders, that geography is the whole point. Assam has no private medical college. A student from Guwahati who misses the DME Assam state quota and does not clear the All India Quota cut-off has historically had to look at Karnataka, Maharashtra or abroad. PIMC's 64 Management Quota seats change that arithmetic, because the advertisement attaches no domicile condition to them. What it does attach is a ₹22 lakh annual tuition line, which is where the conversation with your family actually needs to happen. Two practical points. First, the Management Quota counselling fee of ₹3,000 is separate from and additional to the ₹500 application fee, and neither is refundable. Second, the 7–13 August window overlaps almost exactly with MCC Round 1 choice filling and with the Assam, Chhattisgarh and Bihar state windows. If you are running more than one application, write the deadlines on paper before you start — portals do not warn you about clashes on other portals. Related pages worth reading alongside this one: Assam DME counselling 2026 , NEIGRIHMS Shillong MBBS , and the MCC All India Quota schedule . The deadline tracker puts all nineteen state windows on one screen. ## Where to Ask If Something Is Unclear | Office | Director of Health Services, Medical Education & Research (DME), Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong, Meghalaya | |---|---| | Email | dmeshillong@gmail.com | | Phone | 94851 06663 | | Portal | meghealth.gov.in | | Counselling authority | MSCAME — Meghalaya State Counselling Authority for Medical Education | ## Questions Parents Ask Us The Directorate of Health Services (Medical Education & Research), Shillong, issued advertisement No. DHSME&R.152/USTM/MBBS/2026/4622 inviting online applications for 1st year MBBS at P.A. Sangma International Medical College & Hospital, Baridua, 9th Mile, Ri-Bhoi. It covers all three quotas at that college — State, Management and NRI — for the 2026-27 session. Applications open 7 August 2026 at 12:00 noon and close 13 August 2026 at 5:00 PM on meghealth.gov.in. Yes, but only through Management Quota or NRI Quota. The 64 State Quota seats are closed to outsiders: they need either a Meghalaya ST/SC/OST certificate from a competent authority in the state, or a Permanent Resident Certificate issued under Government of Meghalaya Political Department Letter No. POL.97/74/174 dated 10 July 1983. Management Quota carries no domicile condition — the advertisement asks only for Indian citizenship, a NEET UG 2026 qualification and the Class 12 marks threshold. That makes those 64 Management seats one of the few genuinely open MBBS routes inside the Northeast. NRI Quota 22, State Quota 64, Management Quota 64. Within the 64 State Quota seats: Khasi & Jaintia 26 (40%), Garo 26 (40%), Unreserved 9 (15%), and SC/OST 3 (5%). PwBD candidates are accommodated within each of those four categories rather than as a separate block. Tuition, stated as non-refundable in the advertisement: ₹4,95,000 under State Quota, ₹22,00,000 under Management Quota, and USD 43,000 under NRI Quota, all subject to the fee fixation committee. On top of that: a ₹500 application fee for every quota, and a counselling fee of nil for State Quota, ₹3,000 for Management Quota and ₹25,000 for NRI Quota. Payment is through SB-Collect. Note that the tuition figures are annual and the advertisement does not list hostel, mess or other recurring charges — ask the college for the full first-year outflow before you commit. The advertisement adopts the MCC 2026 position directly. If you Freeze, you report physically to the institution and complete admission formalities. If you Float, you keep the allotted seat, stay eligible for upgradation in later rounds, and are not required to complete final admission formalities until your allotment becomes final. Choosing Float and then also travelling to report is a common and expensive mistake. The advertisement is unusually direct about this. Admission stands cancelled immediately regardless of how far into the course you are; the candidate is debarred from any State Government quota course for three years; and legal or criminal proceedings can be initiated against the candidate and, where applicable, the parents or guardian. It names Meghalaya ST/SC/OST and Permanent Resident Certificates specifically. Treat a borrowed domicile as an unrecoverable risk, not a shortcut. No. Clause 6 of the advertisement says so plainly: appearing and qualifying in NEET UG 2026 confers no right to admission. Selection depends on eligibility, rank in the merit list, medical fitness certified by a board constituted by the Health & Family Welfare Department, and any other criteria the Government of Meghalaya prescribes. PwBD assessment is only valid from Medical Assessment Boards notified under the latest NMC regulations. Per the DME’s published shortlist (Notification No. DHSME&R.152/USTM/MBBS/2026/4845-A, 14 August 2026): 45 candidates were called for the 9 Unreserved seats, scoring 472 down to 400. 162 were called for the 26 Khasi & Jaintia seats, scoring 467 down to 306. 44 were called for the 26 Garo seats, scoring 380 down to 181. 12 were called for the 3 SC/OST seats, scoring 389 down to 226. 118 were called for the 64 Management seats, scoring 504 down to 179. No separate shortlist was published for the 22 NRI seats as of this writing. These are call-lists for document verification, not a final allotment result, and we have not published any individual candidate’s name or roll number here — check your own status directly at meghealth.gov.in. Counselling for all quotas runs on 18, 19 and 20 August 2026 at the Office of the Director of Health Services, Medical Education & Research (DME), Top Floor, Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong — not at the PIMC campus in Baridua. A separate DME notice (No. DHSME&R.152/USTM/MBBS/2026/4847, 14 August 2026) states that no vehicles are permitted inside the Health Complex campus due to limited parking, so plan for drop-off and pick-up outside the campus. Bring all original documents listed in the 6 August advertisement, one set of self-attested photocopies, and one self-attested passport-size photo. It's on right now — 1 to 3 September 2026, per the DME’s Notification No. DHSMER150./MBBS Admission/2026-27/5286 dated 31 August 2026. This round covers State Quota seats, including Central Pool seats and Shillong Medical College, across all five UG courses together: MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS and BUMS. It's held at the Directorate of Health Services (MI) Conference Room, 3rd Floor, Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong-1, with candidates called in time slots across the three days. If you can't make your assigned Day 1 slot, the notice explicitly allows you to attend on Day 2 or Day 3 instead, so a missed first day does not cost you your place. Carry the originals: birth certificate, Permanent Residential Certificate, and SC/ST certificate where it applies. This is a separate process from PIMC's own counselling covered elsewhere on this page, which concluded on 20 August. ## PIMC Has 64 Management Seats and No Domicile Bar. We'll Tell You Honestly Whether It Fits Your Budget. Twenty-two lakh a year is a serious number, and it is not the whole number. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and what your family can actually sustain over five and a half years. We'll lay out PIMC against your other live options before you pay anything. --- # NEIGRIHMS MBBS Admission 2026-27 — Report by 5 September Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/neigrihms-mbbs-admission-2026.html # NEIGRIHMS MBBS Admission 2026-27 — Round 1 Out, Report by 5 September A central government institute under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, with fees under ₹50,000 for the first year and eighteen seats open to candidates from all eight Northeast states. For an NE family, few opportunities in the whole admission calendar are worth more attention than this one. The 1st Counselling was held 22 August 2026, and the Provisional Allotment Letter came out 25 August — with the reporting and fee-payment deadline now pushed to 5 September. Last verified · 25 August 2026 · against NEIGRIHMS's Provisional Allotment Letter, F. No. RGTRR-MBBS0ADM/1/2026-Registrar, dated 25 August 2026 The short answer. NEIGRIHMS Shillong held its 1st Counselling on 22 August 2026 (hybrid mode) for the 2026-27 MBBS session. The Provisional Allotment Letter, dated 25 August 2026, shows 18 candidates provisionally allotted under the NE Open category, at a closing NEET UG 2026 score of 567/720 (All India Rank 25,099) — of the 101 candidates called, 41 more remain on the list without a seat, and the rest were marked absent and are out of the 2nd round. The reporting and fee-payment deadline is now 5 September 2026 , extended from 28 August in view of a revised MCC schedule announced on the day of counselling; candidates must submit original documents, execute the Bond Agreement, complete the Medical Examination and pay the ₹47,600 admission fee by then, or the allotment is cancelled and the seat is forfeited to the 2nd Counselling. The 2026-27 session still commences 8 September 2026. There are 50 seats in total: Meghalaya 14, Nagaland 10, NE Open 18, and 8 on a common All India basis. ## 50 Seats, Split Four Ways | Category | Seats | |---|---| | Meghalaya | 14 | | Nagaland | 10 | | NE Open — all eight NE states incl. Sikkim | 18 | | Common All India basis | 8 | | Total | 50 | The prospectus states these numbers may change on directions from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. If you are not a Meghalaya or Nagaland domicile holder, the 18 NE Open seats are your entire competitive pool. ## Five Conditions, All Required Candidates who did not qualify NEET UG 2026 are not considered at all and do not appear on the merit list. There is no separate NEIGRIHMS entrance test and no marks are awarded for the counselling process itself. ## The 1st Counselling — Hybrid, and Provisional If You Join Online The prospectus originally left the counselling date to be announced later. NEIGRIHMS fixed it on 11 August: 22 August 2026 (Saturday) , run in hybrid mode so candidates can attend either online by video conference or in person at the institute in Shillong. | Date | What happens | |---|---| | 17 August 2026 | Last date for application submission | | 21 August 2026, 3:00 PM onwards | Mandatory mock drill for candidates joining the counselling online, to test the video conference link | | 22 August 2026 (Saturday) | 1st Counselling — hybrid mode, online and physical | | 25 August 2026 | Provisional Allotment Letter issued — 18 NE Open seats filled, closing AIR 25,099 (567/720) | | By 5 September 2026 (revised from 28 August) | All provisionally allotted candidates — online and physical — must report with original documents, execute the Bond Agreement, complete the Medical Examination and pay the ₹47,600 admission fee by this date, per the Provisional Allotment Letter. Non-reporting cancels the allotment and forfeits the seat to the 2nd Counselling. | | 8 September 2026 | Commencement of the 2026-27 session | Result is out — here is exactly who got a seat. The Provisional Allotment Letter (F. No. RGTRR-MBBS0ADM/1/2026-Registrar, dated 25 August 2026) records that 101 candidates were called for the 22 August counselling. Of these, the top 18 by NEET UG 2026 merit were provisionally allotted NE Open seats, at a closing score of 567/720 (All India Rank 25,099). The next 41 candidates who were present at the counselling remain listed without a seat — they are not rejected outright, but they have no allotment either. Everyone else who was called but did not respond or appear was marked absent and, per the letter, is not eligible for the 2nd round. If your name is among the 18, the 5 September reporting deadline above applies to you directly. Online attendance is a convenience, not a shortcut on paperwork. Selection announced during an online session is provisional exactly like a physical one — the difference is that online candidates get until 5 September (revised from 28 August), rather than the same day, to get original documents in front of the institute and complete verification. Missing that window has the same consequence as missing counselling itself. ## What to Carry, and How the Counselling Works ### No call letters are sent The list of candidates called for counselling, and any waiting list, goes up on www.neigrihms.gov.in. NEIGRIHMS does not send individual call letters. Checking the website for your own date is your responsibility, and people miss seats over exactly this. ### Attend in person, at your own cost You must appear with originals of every document and undergo a medical examination by the Institute's Medical Board. A candidate found medically unfit is not admitted. Miss the notified counselling or medical date and you forfeit the claim; the seat goes to the waiting list in a second or third round. ### Ineligibility is fatal at any stage If ineligibility is detected before or after admission, the candidature is summarily rejected. False or concealed information means being debarred from admission entirely. Check every condition against your own papers before paying the ₹500 processing fee. About the institute. The North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences, Shillong, is an autonomous institute under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, established in 1987. Its MBBS course is affiliated to North Eastern Hill University, runs 4 years and 6 months plus a compulsory one-year rotatory internship, and is taught entirely in English. Disputes over counselling and admission fall under the jurisdiction of the Meghalaya High Court, Shillong. Where OEF fits, and where it does not. NEIGRIHMS runs its own registration, counselling and admission through its own portal. We have no role in it, cannot submit or track your application, and cannot influence the merit list — nobody can, and anyone claiming otherwise should be reported. What we do is make sure your documents will survive verification, that your fallback options are registered before the NEIGRIHMS list is published, and that your family understands the bond before you sign it. ## The Official Notices Behind This Page Checked against NEIGRIHMS's own Provisional Allotment Letter dated 25 August 2026. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves. How to use this page. Every date here was checked on 25 August 2026, against the Provisional Allotment Letter dated 25 August 2026 and the institute's own website. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us 17 August 2026. The prospectus and the online application went live on 27 July 2026 at www.neigrihms.gov.in, under the MBBS Course 2026-2027 link marked for domicile of the North Eastern Region. The application costs ₹500 to process. An incomplete application is summarily rejected and the prospectus states that no correspondence will be entertained on the point. Meghalaya 14, Nagaland 10, NE Open 18 — covering all eight North Eastern states including Sikkim — and 8 on a common All India basis. The prospectus notes that these figures can change on directions from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, so treat the matrix as current rather than permanent. The 18 NE Open seats, in practice. The Meghalaya and Nagaland quotas are closed to candidates from other states, so for an applicant from Assam, Manipur, Tripura, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh or Sikkim, the NE Open pool is effectively the whole competition, decided strictly on NEET UG 2026 score and percentile against every other eligible applicant from all eight states. Meghalaya and Nagaland applicants compete for their own quotas first and are also considered under NE Open. First-year fees total ₹47,600 per the prospectus — ₹10,000 admission fee, ₹1,000 university enrolment and registration, ₹3,000 annual tuition, ₹2,000 library, ₹3,000 laboratory, ₹5,000 hostel, ₹2,600 combined for sports, magazine, cultural, health care and students' body fees, and a ₹20,000 refundable security deposit. Mess fees of ₹10,950 are deposited separately at admission and then quarterly. Every selected candidate signs a bond on stamp paper at admission. If you leave the course without completing it, the bond amount is ₹10,00,000 — ten lakh rupees. It is not paid upfront; it is a financial commitment tied to finishing the degree. Families should understand this clause before accepting a seat, not after. It is one of the reasons we sit down with parents rather than just sending a link. 22 August 2026 (Saturday), in hybrid mode — both online via video conference and physical attendance at the institute. This was fixed by a notice dated 11 August 2026, partially modifying Point 11.iii of the prospectus, which had left the date to be announced separately. Candidates attending online must join a mandatory mock drill on 21 August 2026 (Friday) from 3:00 PM onwards, to test the video conferencing link before the real thing. The links for both the mock drill and the counselling itself are shared in a separate notification uploaded after the application deadline of 17 August 2026 — check neigrihms.gov.in regularly rather than waiting for an email. The Provisional Allotment Letter (F. No. RGTRR-MBBS0ADM/1/2026-Registrar, dated 25 August 2026) shows 18 candidates provisionally allotted seats under the NE Open category, at a closing NEET UG 2026 score of 567/720 (All India Rank 25,099). A total of 101 candidates had been called for the counselling; the 41 next-highest-ranked candidates who were present remain on the list without a seat, and everyone else who was called but did not respond or appear has been marked absent and is not eligible for the 2nd round. Yes. The same Provisional Allotment Letter, dated 25 August 2026, extends the deadline for physical reporting, document verification, the Bond Agreement, Medical Examination and payment of the ₹47,600 admission fee from 28 August 2026 to on or before 5 September 2026, citing a revised MCC schedule communicated on the day of counselling. Non-reporting by 5 September 2026 cancels the provisional allotment; the seat is forfeited without further notice and filled in the 2nd Counselling. No. Admission for candidates appearing online is explicitly provisional, subject to verification of original documents and completion of other admission formalities, which are now due on or before 5 September 2026 (revised from 28 August, per the Provisional Allotment Letter dated 25 August 2026, citing a revised MCC schedule). Physical attendees complete verification the same day as counselling; online attendees have this separate window afterward to travel to Shillong and confirm the seat in person. Do not treat online selection alone as a secured seat until that verification is done. 8 September 2026, confirmed again in the Provisional Allotment Letter dated 25 August 2026, which cites the NEET-UG Schedule 2026. Document verification and fee payment are now due by 5 September 2026 (revised from 28 August) — only three days before classes start, so travel and hostel arrangements need to be locked in immediately after allotment, not left for later. ## NEIGRIHMS Is 50 Seats for Eight States.

The ZMC NRI quota has now moved to provisional allotment and document verification. Here is what remains actionable. Last verified · 19 August 2026 · against official counselling portals The short answer. Mizoram NEET UG 2026 ran two separate processes. State quota applications for MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS and BVSc & AH opened 20 July and closed at 3:00 PM on 28 July 2026, with provisional merit lists published on 24 and 28 July. The Zoram Medical College NRI quota closed applications 7 August 2026; a Provisional Allotment List has now been published, with Sl. No. 1–15 called for document verification on 24 August 2026, 10:30 AM , at the Technical Wing office in Aizawl. Seats are allotted by MCC for All India Quota and by the Higher & Technical Education Department for state and NRI quota — not by the college. ## State Quota and NRI Quota Run on Different Clocks ## ZMC NRI Quota — Provisional Allotment and Document Verification The Directorate of Higher & Technical Education (Technical Wing), Government of Mizoram, has published the Provisional Allotment List for the MBBS NRI quota seat at Zoram Medical College & Hospital, Falkawn, for the 2026-27 session. Applicants named on the list must attend document verification before Er. S. Zorinliana, Academic Officer, at the Office of the Joint Director (Tech), Technical Wing, Higher & Technical Education, Chaltlang Lily Veng, Aizawl. | Sl. No. | Date & time | Who reports | |---|---|---| | 1 | 24 August 2026 (Monday), 10:30 AM onwards During office hours | Sl. No. 1–15 of the Provisional Allotment List | Not attending is treated as declining the seat. The office order states candidates who do not attend the verification session will be regarded as not willing to stake their claim from the Mizoram State NRI quota seats. Candidates who wish to decline their allotted seat outright should send a decline email to dhtemizoram@gmail.com rather than simply not showing up. ### Original documents required at verification | # | Document | |---|---| | 1 | NTA-issued NEET UG 2026 admit card | | 2 | NTA-issued result / rank letter | | 3 | Birth certificate (attested photocopy) | | 4 | Class 10 certificate and marksheet (attested photocopy) | | 5 | Class 10+2 certificate and marksheet (attested photocopy) | | 6 | Proof of identity (Aadhaar / PAN / Driving Licence / Passport) | | 7 | Documents proving the sponsor is an NRI (sponsor's passport and visa) | | 8 | Proof of the NRI's relationship with the candidate, per the Supreme Court's criteria in W.P.

If you applied, check your status directly via the office order published at dhte.mizoram.gov.in, or call us and we will help you confirm where you stand. ## How Mizoram Ran Its 2026 State Quota Four days after NTA declared the Re-NEET UG 2026 result on 16 July, the Directorate of Higher & Technical Education opened its state quota application process for MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS and BVSc & AH seats. It ran offline: candidates bought a Report Form for ₹10 at the Technical Wing Office of the Directorate at Chaltlang Lily Veng, Aizawl, attached their NEET UG 2026 scorecard, and submitted before 3:00 PM on 28 July 2026. The first provisional merit list appeared on 24 July while applications were still open, and the second on 28 July, the closing day itself. The notice was signed by Er. K. Zodingliana, Joint Director (Technical), Higher & Technical Education, in his capacity as Member Secretary of the State Selection Board Committee. Selection and admission rounds follow, with schedules published on dhte.mizoram.gov.in. ### Mizoram NEET UG 2026 — Dates at a Glance | Process | Courses | Window | Where | Status | |---|---|---|---|---| | State quota | MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS, BVSc & AH | 20 – 28 July 2026, closing 3:00 PM | Technical Wing office, Chaltlang Lily Veng, Aizawl | Closed | | First provisional merit list | All above | 24 July 2026 | dhte.mizoram.gov.in | Published | | Second provisional merit list | All above | 28 July 2026 | dhte.mizoram.gov.in | Published | | ZMC NRI quota | MBBS | 20 July – 7 August 2026 | Technical Wing office, Aizawl — in person | Closed — Provisional Allotment List out, verification 24 Aug | | All India Quota at ZMC | MBBS | Per MCC schedule | mcc.nic.in | Awaited | A lesson from Mizoram's calendar, for every NE family. Eight days from opening to closing, with the merit list out before the window shut. There was no room in that schedule for a family that waited to hear about it from a neighbour. If your state's directorate publishes notices on a departmental website rather than a counselling portal, check it weekly from the day the result is declared. ## Zoram Medical College NRI Quota — Applications Closed 7 August ### What was notified Under a public notice of 17 July 2026 (reference A.46015/2/2023-JDT(HTE)/155), the Technical Wing invited NRI candidates to apply for MBBS seats under the NRI quota at Zoram Medical College, Falkawn. Readymade application forms cost ₹20. ### Where and when to submit At the Technical Wing office in Aizawl, between 20 July and 7 August 2026. This is a physical submission, not an online one, which means an NRI family applying from abroad needs someone on the ground in Aizawl or a properly authorised representative. ### Who actually allots the seat The H&TE Department, not the college. ZMC's own admission page tells candidates not to contact the college about allotment, and confirms that only students allotted by MCC (for All India Quota) or by the H&TE Department (for State and NRI quota) will be admitted. ### After allotment Document verification and final admission are completed offline at Zoram Medical College, with the candidate present alongside a parent or guardian, followed by a final medical check-up by the college Medical Board. Admission timings for state quota are posted under Admission News on the college website. A word on NRI claims. NRI quota is defined by a documented Non-Resident Indian relationship, not by willingness to pay a higher fee. If your family does not have a genuine NRI sponsor with the paperwork to prove it, this quota is not a route for you, and any consultant who tells you otherwise is setting your family up to lose both money and a year. We would rather lose the enquiry than tell you that. ## The Official Notices Behind This Page Checked against dhte.mizoram.gov.in on 19 August 2026. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 19 August 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us It has passed. The Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Mizoram, opened applications on 20 July 2026 and closed them at 3:00 PM on 28 July 2026. The first provisional merit list was published on 24 July and the second on 28 July. Candidates who applied should now track dhte.mizoram.gov.in for the selection and admission rounds. Offline, and unusually simply. Candidates filled a Report Form and attached their NEET UG 2026 scorecard. Forms were sold at the Technical Wing Office of the Directorate at Chaltlang Lily Veng, Aizawl, for ₹10 each. The notice was issued by the Joint Director (Technical), Higher & Technical Education, who is also Member Secretary of the State Selection Board Committee. It covered MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS and BVSc & AH seats. Applications closed 7 August 2026. The process has since moved to the next stage: a Provisional Allotment List was published under an office order dated 17 August 2026, and applicants at Sl. No. 1–15 of that list must attend document verification on 24 August 2026, 10:30 AM onwards, before the Academic Officer at the Technical Wing office in Aizawl. Not attending is treated as declining the seat; candidates wishing to decline outright can email dhtemizoram@gmail.com. Two authorities, and neither of them is the college. All India Quota seats are allotted by MCC. State Quota and NRI seats are allotted by the Technical Wing of the Higher & Technical Education Department, Government of Mizoram. ZMC's own admission page is explicit that students should not contact the college directly about allotment, and that only candidates allotted by MCC or the H&TE Department will be admitted. Through the 15% All India Quota filled by MCC, yes — ZMC participates in AIQ counselling like other government colleges, and closing ranks there have historically been competitive. Through the state domicile quota, no. The NRI quota is defined by NRI status rather than by domicile, so a genuinely NRI-sponsored candidate can apply, but the documentation requirements are strict and the Aizawl submission is physical. ## Missed a Deadline? There Are Still Windows Open. MCC Round 1 registration, revised on 13 August and extended again, closed 18 August; Puducherry CENTAC's reopened window closed 14 August; and NEIGRIHMS closed 17 August. All of these windows are now shut. Tell us your score and domicile and we will map what is genuinely still available to you. --- # Arunachal Pradesh NEET UG 2026 — Round 1 Result Out Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/arunachal-pradesh-neet-counselling-2026.html # Arunachal Pradesh NEET UG 2026 — Round 1 Seat Allotment Result Declared The Directorate of Higher & Technical Education, Itanagar, published the full counselling calendar through to a possible 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 — has now been declared as scheduled . The 814-candidate merit list is out, and we’ve cross-checked it against MCC’s own AIQ Round 1 result below. Check your individual allotment status directly at apdhte.nic.in; reporting dates and Round 2 remain subject to the revised schedule the Directorate said would follow. Last verified · 6 September 2026 · against the official circular, the 20 August merit list, and the Round 2 result uploaded to apdhte.nic.in on 5 September 2026 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 to stay reconciled with the delayed All India Counselling (MCC AIQ Round 1), and has now been declared as scheduled . If you registered, check your individual result at apdhte.nic.in rather than relying on a WhatsApp forward. Round 2 (previously pencilled for 28 August), reporting windows and the tentative spot round remain unconfirmed — the Directorate said a revised schedule for later rounds would follow separately, so confirm those directly before making travel plans. PwD candidates’ TRIHMS medical board window (12–18 August) has closed. ## Registration to Spot Round, Ten Stages | Activity | Date | |---|---| | Online provisional registration | 13 – 19 August 2026 | | Document upload & response to queries | 13 – 20 August 2026 (upto 12:00 noon) | | Publication of eligible registered candidates list | 20 August 2026 (after 4:00 PM) | | Choice filling & locking | 13 – 20 August 2026 | | First round seat allotment | Declared 27 August 2026 (revised from 21 August; check individual status on apdhte.nic.in) | | Online & physical reporting (Round 1) | Not yet independently confirmed following the 27 August result — check apdhte.nic.in for your reporting window | | Second round seat allotment | Result uploaded 5 September 2026 (per the Directorate's portal; check apdhte.nic.in for the individual result and reporting instructions — we have not yet located the full notification text) | | Online & physical reporting (Round 2) | Previously 31 August–2 September 2026 — unconfirmed pending revised schedule | | Withdrawal of seat, if any | Previously 3–4 September 2026 — unconfirmed pending revised schedule | | Spot round registration (tentative) | Previously 5–7 September 2026 — unconfirmed pending revised schedule | | Spot round conduct (if conducted) | Previously 9 September 2026 — unconfirmed pending revised schedule | 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. ## 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. ## 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. ## 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 AIQ cross-check figures are OEF’s own compilation against MCC’s Notice No. 11 (20 August 2026) Provisional Result — not an Arunachal Directorate or MCC-issued comparison. Fee structure, eligibility criteria and college-wise seat matrix are not part of any of these notices and are published separately on apdhte.nic.in and apjee.co.in. Confirm every date directly on those portals before you act on it. ## Questions Parents Ask Us 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. 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. 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. 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 unconfirmed pending a revised schedule the Directorate says will follow separately. 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. 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. 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 unconfirmed until the Directorate issues the promised revised schedule. 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. ## Applying From Assam or Elsewhere in the Northeast? Let's Check Whether Arunachal Pradesh Is Genuinely Open to You.

It covers State Government Quota MBBS/BDS/BASLP seats at RIMS Imphal, JNIMS Imphal, SAHS, CMC and RDC Guwahati, plus Management Quota and NRI Quota MBBS seats at SAHS. Registration, choice filling and locking run 8–11 September , with the result due 16 September and reporting 16–18 September . Candidates who registered in an earlier round fill fresh Seat Choices; NEET-UG 2026 qualified candidates who have not registered before may also register now. Last verified · 6 September 2026 · against DME Notification No. DME-18/1/2026-HEALTH, dated 5 September 2026, and the Round 1 result published on manipurmc.mn.gov.in, 28 August 2026 The short version. Round 1 (registration 13–19 August, merit list 24 August, result 28 August, reporting to 5 September) is complete. Round 2 registration, choice filling and locking run 8–11 September 2026 at manipurmc.mn.gov.in, covering State Government Quota seats at RIMS, JNIMS, SAHS, CMC and RDC Guwahati, and Management/NRI Quota seats at SAHS. The Round 2 merit list is notified 14 September, the result is declared 16 September, and reporting to college runs 16–18 September. Two separate non-refundable application fees apply — ₹2,000 (₹1,500 ST/SC) for Government seats only, ₹2,000 flat for Private seats only, or ₹4,000 (₹3,500 ST/SC) for both together — plus a refundable ₹15,000 security fee for every category.

NEET-UG 2026 qualified candidates who have not registered in any previous round may also register and fill Seat Choices now, using the same web application. The application portal is manipurmc.mn.gov.in; general information and the linked notifications are also hosted at manipurhealthdirectorate.mn.gov.in. ## Which Colleges Are On This Round Round 2 runs across the same three categories as Round 1, on the same single portal, manipurmc.mn.gov.in: | Quota | Course | Colleges | |---|---|---| | (a) State Government Quota | MBBS / BDS / BASLP | RIMS Imphal, JNIMS Imphal, SAHS, CMC, and RDC Guwahati | | (b) Management Quota | MBBS | SAHS only | | (c) NRI Quota | MBBS | SAHS only | Guwahati families, take note. RDC Guwahati — Regional Dental College, Guwahati — sits inside Manipur's own State Government Quota list for BDS/BASLP, even though the college itself is physically in Assam. A Manipur-domicile candidate based near our Guwahati office does not need to travel to Imphal for that particular seat's classes; only the counselling itself runs through manipurmc.mn.gov.in. For SAHS's own detailed seat-wise fee structure (Government ₹5L, Management ₹17L, NRI USD 2L a year), see our dedicated Shija Academy page . ## Two Fees, and a Choice of Application Combination Per Notification No. DME-18/1/2026-HEALTH, registration is complete only after paying two separate kinds of fees: | Applying for… | Non-refundable Application Fee | |---|---| | (i) State Government seats only | ₹2,000 (₹1,500 for ST & SC candidates) | | (ii) Private — Management/NRI quota — seats at SAHS only | ₹2,000 flat, no category concession stated | | (iii) Both Government and Private (Management/NRI) seats together | ₹4,000 (₹3,500 for ST & SC candidates) | Plus a refundable security fee. Every candidate, in every category, also pays a ₹15,000 Refundable Security Fee. It is returned only after all rounds of counselling are complete, subject to fulfilment of the relevant conditions — so budget for it as money held, not money spent. No fee is charged separately for Choice Filling in the web application itself. ## Complete Since 28 August Round 1 registration and choice filling ran 13–19 August 2026 ; the merit list of applied candidates was released 24 August ; and the seat allotment result — Government Quota as Annexure A, Management/SAHS Quota as Annexure B, NRI Quota as Annexure C — was declared 28 August 2026 on manipurmc.mn.gov.in. Reporting and joining at the allotted institute ran 28 August to 5 September 2026 . That cycle is now complete; Round 2 above is the current, open cycle. For SAHS's own Round 1 seat-by-seat detail, its full fee structure across all three quotas, and the Demand Draft amounts required on reporting day, see our Shija Academy of Health Sciences page . We have not independently obtained seat-wise allotment detail for RIMS, JNIMS or CMC and cannot reproduce it here — check your own name and rank directly on the portal. Source and scope. The Round 2 schedule and fee structure on this page come directly from Notification No. DME-18/1/2026-HEALTH, dated 5 September 2026, issued by the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Manipur, Imphal. It refers registrants to a separate “Technical Instructions for Registration” notified vide the Directorate’s notification of even number, dated 12 August 2026, which we have not separately obtained the full text of. Round 1 dates and results come from the portal’s own published Round 1 outcome and from the fee circular covered in depth on our Shija Academy page. Eligibility criteria, seat matrices for RIMS, JNIMS and CMC, and any category-wise reservation rules are not part of this Round 2 notification and are published separately on manipurmc.mn.gov.in and manipurhealthdirectorate.mn.gov.in. Confirm every date and figure directly on those portals before you act on it. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Manipur issued Notification No. DME-18/1/2026-HEALTH on 5 September 2026 opening Round 2 of the Manipur Medical e-Counselling 2026-27 at manipurmc.mn.gov.in. Candidates already registered from a previous round fill fresh Seat Choices for Round 2; NEET-UG 2026 qualified candidates who have not registered in any previous round are also allowed to register now and take part. Registration, Choice Filling and Locking run 8–11 September 2026. The Round 2 merit list is notified 14 September. The seat allotment result is declared 16 September. Reporting of allotted candidates to their colleges runs 16–18 September 2026. DME describes these as tentative timelines, so confirm each date on manipurmc.mn.gov.in before you travel. Three categories: (a) State Government Quota seats for MBBS, BDS and BASLP courses at RIMS Imphal, JNIMS Imphal, SAHS, CMC and RDC Guwahati; (b) Management Quota seats for MBBS at SAHS; and (c) NRI Quota seats for MBBS at SAHS. RDC Guwahati — Regional Dental College, Guwahati — is a Manipur-quota BDS college physically located in Assam, so Guwahati-based Manipuri families should not overlook it. Two separate, non-refundable application fees apply depending on which seats you apply for: ₹2,000 (₹1,500 for ST/SC candidates) if you apply only for State Government seats; ₹2,000 flat if you apply only for Private (Management/NRI quota) seats at SAHS; and ₹4,000 (₹3,500 for ST/SC candidates) if you apply for both Government and Private seats together. On top of this, every candidate pays a separate, refundable Security Fee of ₹15,000, returned after all rounds of counselling conclude, subject to conditions. No fee is charged separately for Choice Filling. The notification's own wording addresses two groups: candidates already registered for the 2026-27 e-Counselling must compulsorily fill fresh Seat Choices for Round 2 within the 8–11 September window; candidates who have not registered in any previous round are separately invited to register and fill choices now. Either way, read the Directorate's “Technical Instructions for Registration” (notified vide the Directorate's notification of even number, dated 12 August 2026) before you begin, available via manipurhealthdirectorate.mn.gov.in. Round 1 registration and choice filling ran 13–19 August 2026; the merit list was released 24 August; the seat allotment result — Government Quota as Annexure A, Management/SAHS Quota as Annexure B, NRI Quota as Annexure C — was declared 28 August 2026, and reporting ran 28 August to 5 September. That result and SAHS's own seat-wise fee structure are covered in full on our Shija Academy of Health Sciences page ; this page focuses on the Round 2 e-Counselling notified 5 September. ## Applying to RIMS, JNIMS, SAHS or RDC Guwahati?

Every allotted candidate must bring the required Demand Draft, in favour of Shija Academy of Health Sciences, payable at Imphal, on the day of reporting. No other form of payment is accepted. Failure to submit it results in cancellation of the seat, which then goes to the next eligible candidate. Arrange the DD before you travel to report — not on the way. ## A 350-Bed Hospital, Not a College Built Around a Clinic SAHS is attached to Shija Hospitals and Research Institute (SHRI), a NABH Pre-Entry certified super-specialty hospital with roughly 350 beds, including 60 critical care beds , staffed by more than 1,300 caregivers and 165 full-time doctors. SHRI began in 1985 as a single clinic at Paona Bazar and has grown into the anchor institution of the HealthVillage campus at Langol. SAHS itself was approved by the NMC on 1 November 2021 (Letter No. NMC/UG/2020/000092/032984), making it the first homegrown private medical college in Northeast India, and is affiliated to Manipur University. For a region where most private-college options mean leaving the Northeast entirely, a genuinely substantial teaching hospital inside Manipur is worth weighing seriously against the fee. ## Management Quota Has No Domicile Bar. ₹17 Lakh a Year Does. State Quota at SAHS carries Manipur domicile conditions, same as every state quota in this series. Management Quota generally does not — which is what makes it the realistic route for an Assam, Nagaland or wider Northeast family. ₹17 lakh a year is, across five and a half years plus admission and caution fees, in the region of ₹93–95 lakh before hostel and living costs. That is a serious commitment, and it is also a medical education that keeps a student inside the Northeast rather than in Karnataka or Maharashtra, a few hours from home rather than a flight away. Compare this against other Northeast options on our regional overview , or see PA Sangma International Medical College, Meghalaya for a second in-region management quota option. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Not directly. SAHS has publicly stated there is no separate counselling or registration process for the college. Every seat — State Government, Management, and NRI quota alike — is filled through the Manipur Medical e-Counselling Portal (manipurmc.mn.gov.in), run by the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Manipur. You register there, not on the SAHS website. Round 1 registration and choice filling ran 13–19 August 2026 and has closed; the merit list came out 24 August and the seat allotment result was declared 28 August (see the next question). Yes. Per the revised schedule (DME Notification No. DME-18/1/2026-HEALTH, dated 21 August 2026), the merit list of applied candidates was released 24 August 2026 across State Government, Management and NRI quota, and the Round 1 seat allotment results were published 28 August 2026 on the Manipur Medical e-Counselling Portal, manipurmc.mn.gov.in — Government Quota as Annexure A, Management/SAHS Quota as Annexure B, and NRI Quota as Annexure C. Reporting and joining at the allotted institute runs 28 August to 5 September 2026. Check the portal directly for your own name and rank; we have not reproduced the annexures' seat-by-seat detail here. Per the fee notice issued 29 July 2025, following a Manipur High Court order dated 28 July 2025: State/Government Quota is ₹5,00,000 a year (63 seats), Management Quota is ₹17,00,000 a year (64 seats), and NRI Quota is a one-time payment of USD 2,00,000 (23 seats). On top of tuition, every candidate pays a one-time, non-refundable ₹75,000 admission fee and a one-time, refundable ₹25,000 caution fee. This notice covers the 2025-26 (5th batch) session; confirm with SAHS directly whether the same figures carry forward to 2026-27, since no updated notice has superseded it as of this writing. A Demand Draft, and only a Demand Draft — the notice is explicit that no other form of payment will be accepted. For State Quota, the DD is ₹6,00,000 , inclusive of tuition, admission and caution fee. For Management Quota, the DD is ₹18,00,000 , on the same inclusive basis. Both are payable to Shija Academy of Health Sciences at Imphal. Failure to submit the correct DD on reporting day results in cancellation of the seat, which is then offered to the next eligible candidate — there is no grace period stated. 150 seats a year: 63 State/Government Quota, 64 Management Quota, and 23 NRI Quota. SAHS was the first homegrown private medical college in Northeast India, approved by the NMC on 1 November 2021 and affiliated to Manipur University. Shija Hospitals and Research Institute (SHRI), a NABH Pre-Entry certified super-specialty hospital with roughly 350 beds including 60 critical care beds, staffed by over 1,300 caregivers including 165 full-time doctors. It began in 1985 as a single clinic at Paona Bazar and has grown into the anchor hospital of the eco-friendly HealthVillage campus at Langol. This is a genuinely substantial teaching hospital by Northeast India standards, not a nominal one built to satisfy NMC minimums. Yes, for Management and NRI quota specifically. State Quota seats carry Manipur domicile conditions, as is standard everywhere in this counselling series. But Management Quota, at ₹17 lakh a year, has no domicile bar in most colleges of this type, and for a family from Assam, Nagaland or elsewhere in the region, SAHS keeps a medical education inside the Northeast rather than requiring a move to Karnataka or Maharashtra. Whether ₹17 lakh a year fits your budget is the real question, and that is worth a direct conversation before you register on the Manipur portal. ## Considering SAHS Management Quota? ₹93 Lakh Over Five Years Is a Family Decision. Let's Run the Numbers. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score and category and we'll tell you honestly whether Management Quota at SAHS is reachable for your rank, and whether it fits your family's budget better than the alternatives inside or outside the Northeast. --- # Tripura NEET UG 2026 — Round 1 Allotment Out, Report by 5 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/tripura-neet-counselling-2026.html # Tripura NEET UG 2026 Counselling — Round 1 Seat Allotment Declared, Report by 5 September TRMCC published Tripura's Round-1 provisional allotment result on 31 August 2026, going by the merit list that came out two days before. If you have a seat, there's a set order to follow now: first the DME office in Agartala, to collect your Nomination Letter, then your allotted college, to get your original documents checked and finish admission. Both steps are already open, and both close on 5 September — the office by 2 PM, the college by 5 PM. Nothing about this allotment is final yet; it stays provisional until your documents clear verification. The two tracks notified back on 14 August still apply underneath all this: state domicile counselling for MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS, BUMS and BASLP, and 105 All India seats at Tripura's two medical colleges for candidates from outside the state. Last verified · 1 September 2026 · against TRMCC's Round-1 provisional allotment result notice, Ref. No. F.5(6)-DME/NEET/UG/Counselling/2026/3495 dated 31 August 2026, trmcc.admissions.nic.in The short answer. Yes — Tripura's Round-1 seat allotment result is out. TRMCC published it on 31 August 2026 , based on the merit list from 29 August. If you've been allotted a seat, report to the DME office in Agartala between 1 September (2 PM) and 5 September (2 PM) to collect your Nomination Letter, carrying your original documents, four passport photographs and any bond you're required to execute. From there, report to your allotted institution between 2 September (11 AM) and 5 September (5 PM) for physical verification and to complete admission. Everything — nomination and admission both — must be finished by 5 September, 5 PM . Keep in mind the allotment is still provisional : it can be cancelled at any stage, even after you've joined, if your documents don't hold up or don't meet NTA, NMC or TRMCC norms. ## Registration to Admission, Now Nineteen Days, Not Eleven | Stage | Date & time (server time) | |---|---| | Fresh registration, payment & final submission after registration unlocking | 18 August 2026 (3 PM) to 27 August 2026 (11 AM) (revised, was 21 Aug) | | Registration unlocking | Up to 27 August 2026 (9 AM) (revised, was 21 Aug) | | Remove discrepancy | Up to 27 August 2026 (11 AM) (revised, was 21 Aug 3 PM) | | Choice filling | 27 August 2026 (2 PM) to 29 August 2026 (12 Noon) (revised, was 21–22 Aug) | | Publication of merit list | 29 August 2026 (revised, was 23 Aug) | | Allotment result | 31 August 2026 — published (confirmed, Ref. No. F.5(6)-DME/NEET/UG/Counselling/2026/3495) | | Nomination Letter to be collected from DME office, Agartala, by candidates allotted seats | 1 September 2026 (2 PM) to 5 September 2026 (2 PM) (confirmed in allotment result notice) | | Physical verification of original documents & admission formalities at allotted institutions | 2 September 2026 (11 AM) to 5 September 2026 (5 PM) (confirmed in allotment result notice) | | Last date of admission | 5 September 2026 (5 PM) (revised, was 28 Aug) | Read the 27 August row three times — it is three separate deadlines on one day, not a typo. By 9 AM on 27 August , "registration unlocking" closes — this is the window in which the verification committee unlocks a candidate's already-submitted registration so a flagged document or entry can be corrected. Candidates who unlock and correct then have until 11 AM on 27 August to finish "final submission" — the actual close of fresh registration and payment. Separately, "remove discrepancy" also runs until 11 AM on 27 August under the revised schedule, a narrower window for clearing specific flags raised during document verification, after which choice filling opens at 2 PM the same day. This entire schedule has moved roughly a week later than originally notified — do not rely on memory of the earlier 21 August dates. The merit list (29 August) and allotment result (31 August) have both now been published on schedule and are confirmed, not projected. Nomination collection at the DME office and physical document verification at your allotted institution are two separate reporting steps with two separate windows, so check both dates for your own case rather than assuming one. All times are server time as stated in the official schedule and notices. ## State Domicile — and 105 Seats Open to Everyone Else | Track | Who it's for | Seats | |---|---|---| | State Quota / Domicile | Tripura permanent residents meeting one of five eligibility clauses (Annexure C) | All remaining seats across MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS, BUMS and BASLP courses at Tripura institutions | | All India — TMC | Any NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate who is not Tripura domicile | 30 MBBS seats at Tripura Medical College & Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital | | All India — TSMC | Any NEET UG 2026 qualified candidate who is not Tripura domicile | 75 MBBS seats at Tripura Santiniketan Medical College | This is the detail worth registering carefully: a candidate from Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur or anywhere else in the Northeast without a specific Tripura connection cannot compete for the State Quota track, but can register for the 105 All India seats at TMC and TSMC through the very same portal, in the very same Round-1 registration cycle. These 105 seats are separate from, and additional to, the 15% All India Quota that MCC allots nationally at every government medical college in India, Tripura's included. TSMC's fee structure is a real, recurring commitment. ₹95,00,000 across the course, excluding hostel — ₹45,00,000 at admission, then seven installments through August 2030. Before you register for its 75 All India seats, see the full installment schedule, hostel fees and college facts. TSMC Full Fee Structure → ## Five Clauses, One Ten-Year Test at the Centre | Clause | Who qualifies | |---|---| | Clause 1 | Indian citizen and permanent resident of Tripura, with the candidate or parents continuously residing in Tripura for at least 10 years immediately before applying for NEET UG. Must not have applied for domicile of any other state. | | Clause 2 | Children of All India Services officers borne on the Tripura cadre, and children of state government employees posted outside Tripura — eligible regardless of prior stay in Tripura. | | Clause 3 | Candidate not a permanent resident, but a parent is on deputation to the Tripura government or is a central government officer/employee working in Tripura, having served there continuously for 3+ years, with the candidate having passed the qualifying exam from a Tripura school/institute. | | Clause 4 | Wards of ex-servicemen, where the candidate or parents have stayed in Tripura continuously for at least 5 years before applying, and the candidate passed Class 12 from a Tripura institution. | | Clause 5 | Children of serving defence personnel (Army/Navy/Air Force) hailing from Tripura, with at least 5 years' continuous stay in Tripura and Class 12 passed from a Tripura institution. | Candidates applying under Clause 1 give a self-declaration that they have not applied for domicile of any other state; supplying wrong or false information under any clause is grounds for cancellation of counselling, admission, allotment or nomination at any point, per the notification. ## Two Separate Payments, Both Due at Round 1 | Category | Registration fee | |---|---| | General / OBC-NCL (State Domicile) | ₹2,500 | | General-EWS (State Domicile) / OBC-NCL (Non-Domicile) | ₹2,000 | | SC / ST / PwD / Other | ₹1,800 | | Seat type | SC/ST | Other categories | |---|---|---| | Government college seats | ₹5,000 | ₹10,000 | | Non-Government, or both Non-Government & Government seats | ₹1,00,000 — all categories | | Both the registration fee and the security deposit are due together during Round 1 registration, paid via net banking, RTGS, NEFT or UPI. The security deposit is refundable in most circumstances, but is forfeited if a candidate is allotted a seat in Round 2 or later and does not join, or if admission is cancelled due to false information or failure to produce required documents at reporting. ## Upgrade Rules Tighten Round by Round | Round | If admitted, joined allotted college | If not joined | |---|---|---| | Round 1 | Can upgrade to Round 2; must relieve from Round 1 college if upgraded | Free exit — can participate in further rounds | | Round 2 | Can upgrade to Round 3, cannot resign | Exit with forfeiture of security deposit; can join further rounds with a fresh deposit | | Round 3 | Cannot upgrade or resign once joined | Exit with forfeiture and elimination — cannot participate in further rounds | | Stray Vacancy | Cannot resign once joined | Forfeiture of fees | There is no AIQ-to-state-quota reversion in Tripura. The notification states this explicitly: unfilled All India Quota seats do not revert to the state quota pool. There is also no waiting list at any stage of Tripura counselling — a fresh round of registration and allotment is held instead, and no separate call letter is issued to any candidate. ## 105 Seats Are Genuinely Open to Every State, Right Now Most state counselling processes shut their doors entirely to non-domicile candidates. Tripura's notification is unusual in explicitly carving out and dating 105 seats — 30 at TMC, 75 at TSMC — specifically for "All India candidates other than Tripura Domicile," on the same portal and the same opening date as the state's own domicile round. For a candidate from Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim or Arunachal Pradesh, Round 1 has now run its course and the seat allotment is out; anyone who registered and was allotted a seat should already be working through the reporting steps above. Anyone who missed Round 1, or was not allotted a seat, should watch for Round 2 — not a theoretical All India Quota seat competing nationally through MCC. Run both routes at once: register for Tripura's All India seats at TMC/TSMC now, and keep your MCC AIQ registration live in parallel — they are entirely separate processes with separate fees, and a seat in one does not cost you a shot at the other until you actually join. Compare this against the rest of the Northeast on the master counselling tracker , or see MCC's own Round 1 schedule , which runs in parallel. ## Central Pool MBBS Seats for Spouse and Children of Terrorist Violence Victims This is a separate, national scheme — not part of Tripura's own TRMCC counselling above. The Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, invites applications for MBBS admission under Central Pool seats reserved for the spouse and children of victims of terrorist and communal violence. The last date for application submission is 12 September 2026. Applications go by post to Hall No. 35051F, 5th Floor, Kartavya Bhavan 3, New Delhi–110001, or by email to us-ctcrii@mha.gov.in and so-ct2@mha.gov.in . We have not yet located the full MHA notification setting out the seat count, eligibility documentation and application form for this scheme; confirm the complete eligibility criteria and required documents directly with the Ministry at the email addresses above before submitting. This is a Central Government scheme and is separate from, and does not affect, Tripura's own state and All-India-seat counselling covered on the rest of this page. If your family qualifies and you need help assembling the application, call us and we will work through it with you. Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Tripura. No.F.5(6)-DME/NEETUGCounselling/2025, dated Agartala, 14 August 2026, “Educational Notification” announcing Round-1 of Tripura Undergraduate Medical Counselling 2026, together with Annexures A through K covering the schedule, seat matrix, eligibility criteria, online counselling guidelines, flow chart, fees, seat distribution procedure, round-by-round rules, disability certification, and EWS certification, plus the “Revised Schedule for Round-1 of Tripura Undergraduate Medical Counselling 2026” notice pushing registration, choice filling, merit list, allotment and admission dates back by roughly a week. Superseded in relevant part by Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC), Health & Family Welfare Department, Educational Notification Ref. No. F.5(6)-DME/NEET/UG/Counselling/2026/3495, dated Agartala, 31 August 2026, signed by Prof. (Dr.) Abhijit Datta, Chairman, TRMCC & I/C Director of Medical Education, publishing the “Round-1 Allotment Result of Tripura Undergraduate Medical Counselling 2026” and the reporting mechanics for allotted candidates. Portal: trmcc.admissions.nic.in. Verify every date on the official portal before you act — the Directorate reserves the right to alter, amend or modify any instruction in the bulletin, as it already has more than once. ## Questions Families Ask Us Fresh registration, payment and final submission opened 18 August 2026, 3 PM, on the portal trmcc.admissions.nic.in. Under the revised schedule for Round 1, it now runs to 27 August 2026, 11 AM (server time) — extended nearly a week from the original 21 August close. This single window covers both tracks notified together: Tripura State Quota/Domicile seats for MBBS, BDS, BHMS, BAMS, BUMS and BASLP courses, and separately, seats for "All India candidates other than Tripura Domicile" at Tripura Medical College & Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital and Tripura Santiniketan Medical College for the 2026-27 session. Two narrower same-day steps also apply on 27 August: registration unlocking closes at 9 AM, and a separate remove-discrepancy window runs to 11 AM. Choice filling then opens at 2 PM on 27 August and runs to 29 August, 12 Noon. Nearly every downstream date moved back by about a week. Registration, payment and final submission now closes 27 August (11 AM), not 21 August. Choice filling moved to 27 August (2 PM) through 29 August (12 Noon), replacing the original 21–22 August window. The merit list, previously due 23 August, now publishes 29 August. The allotment result, previously due 24 August, now comes out 31 August. Nomination collection and physical document verification, previously 25–28 August, now run 1–5 September, and the last date of admission for Round 1 moved from 28 August to 5 September, 5 PM. The Directorate has not stated a reason for the revision in the schedule notice itself. Under the revised schedule, the Round 1 merit list publishes 29 August 2026, the same day choice filling closes. The allotment result follows two days later, 31 August 2026. Candidates allotted a seat then have a window to act: nomination must be collected from the DME office, Agartala, between 1 September (12 Noon) and 5 September (2 PM), and physical verification of original documents plus admission formalities at the allotted institution run in parallel, 1 September (2 PM) to 5 September (5 PM). The last date of admission is now 5 September 2026, 5 PM — up from 28 August under the original schedule — with no stated grace period beyond that hour. Yes. TRMCC declared Tripura's Round-1 provisional allotment result on 31 August 2026 , based on the merit list published two days earlier. If you've been allotted a seat, the process now runs in two steps. First, go to the DME office in Agartala, between 1 September (2 PM) and 5 September (2 PM) , to collect your Nomination Letter — carry copies of your eligibility, qualification, domicile and category documents, four recent passport-size photographs, and any bond the notice requires you to execute. Second, report to the college you've actually been allotted, between 2 September (11 AM) and 5 September (5 PM) , where your original documents get physically checked and you complete admission. Both steps must be finished by 5 September, 5 PM — no grace period is mentioned beyond that hour. Remember this allotment is provisional, not final : TRMCC can cancel it, the nomination, or even a completed admission at any later stage if a document turns out to be false, fabricated or incomplete, or if you don't meet NTA, MCC, NMC, Ministry of Ayush or TRMCC norms. Candidates allotted seats outside Tripura should also arrange a Medical Fitness Certificate from that institution and, where applicable, a Service Bond before the Nomination Letter is issued and a Discontinuation Bond at the time of admission. 105 in total for the 2026-27 session: 30 MBBS seats at Tripura Medical College (TMC) & Dr. BRAM Teaching Hospital, and 75 MBBS seats at Tripura Santiniketan Medical College (TSMC), both reserved for All India candidates other than Tripura domicile, with seat matrices prepared by each college under the Central Reservation Policy, subject to state government approval. These are separate from the 15% All India Quota that MCC allots nationally — this is a state-notified All India category specific to Tripura's own colleges. No, not under Clause 1, the primary domicile route, which requires the candidate or parents to have resided continuously in Tripura for at least 10 years and explicitly states the applicant should not have applied for domicile of any other state. Four narrower clauses cover children of All India Services officers in the Tripura cadre, children of state or central government employees on deputation to Tripura, wards of ex-servicemen, and children of serving defence personnel from Tripura — each with its own residency test. A candidate from elsewhere in the Northeast without one of these specific connections to Tripura should instead look at the 105 All India seats at TMC and TSMC, or the national 15% All India Quota through MCC. Registration fee: ₹2,500 for General and OBC-NCL (State Domicile) candidates; ₹2,000 for General-EWS (State Domicile) and OBC-NCL (Non-Domicile) candidates; ₹1,800 for SC/ST/PwD/Other candidates. On top of that, a mandatory, refundable security deposit applies from Round 1 onward: ₹5,000 for SC/ST candidates and ₹10,000 for other categories for Government college seats, but a flat ₹1,00,000 for all categories for Non-Government college seats or any round involving both Government and Non-Government seats. Both the registration fee and security deposit must be paid together during Round 1 registration, via net banking, RTGS, NEFT or UPI. It depends which round you were admitted in, and the rules tighten as rounds progress. A candidate admitted in Round 1 can participate in Round 2 for upgradation and, if not upgraded, keep the Round 1 seat. A candidate admitted to a Round 2 seat can upgrade in Round 3 but cannot resign it outright — resigning a Round 2 seat forfeits the security deposit. A candidate admitted to a Round 3 seat can neither upgrade nor resign; not joining a Round 3 allotment is treated as exit with forfeiture and elimination from further counselling. There is also no waiting list at any stage — a fresh round of counselling is held instead. No. The notification states plainly that there will be no AIQ seats reverted to State Quota in Tripura's 2026 counselling. This differs from the practice in some other states, so do not assume an unfilled central seat will become available to a state-quota candidate later in the process. ## Allotted a Seat? Don't Miss the Reporting Window. Nomination and Admission Both Close 5 September. Send us your allotment details or your NEET UG 2026 score and category. If you've got a seat, we'll walk you through the Nomination Letter and document-verification steps before the 5 September deadline; if you didn't clear Round 1, we'll help you plan for Round 2 and keep your MCC AIQ options moving in parallel. --- # Tripura Santiniketan Medical College MBBS Fees 2026 Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/tripura-santiniketan-medical-college-mbbs-fees-tripura.html # Tripura Santiniketan Medical College — MBBS Fees 2026, Installment by Installment Tripura Santiniketan Medical College (TSMC), Agartala, is a private, NMC-approved medical college — the first of its kind in Tripura — running 150 MBBS seats a year, 75 of them open to All India candidates through Tripura's own counselling. Total course fee for 2026 is ₹95,00,000 , excluding hostel, spread across an admission payment and seven further installments running to August 2030. Last verified · 19 August 2026 · fee structure per OEF's admission reference; college facts cross-checked against independent listings The number that matters. Total MBBS course fee at Tripura Santiniketan Medical College is ₹95,00,000 for 2026, excluding hostel. At admission you pay ₹42,00,000 plus ₹3,00,000 in cash — ₹45,00,000 in all — then seven further installments of ₹7-8,00,000 twice a year (February and August) through August 2030. Hostel runs a further ₹1,92,326 to ₹2,47,276 a year depending on room type, plus a one-time ₹30,000 establishment charge. None of this is a single published state document the way Rajasthan's or Karnataka's college fee tables are — confirm the current figure with the college directly before you pay. ## Every Payment, From Admission to Final Year | Payment | Amount | Due | |---|---|---| | At admission | ₹42,00,000 + ₹3,00,000 cash | On admission, 2026 | | 2nd Installment | ₹8,00,000 | August 2027 | | 3rd Installment | ₹7,00,000 | February 2028 | | 4th Installment | ₹7,00,000 | August 2028 | | 5th Installment | ₹7,00,000 | February 2029 | | 6th Installment | ₹7,00,000 | August 2029 | | 7th Installment | ₹7,00,000 | February 2030 | | 8th Installment | ₹7,00,000 | August 2030 | | Total Course Fee | ₹95,00,000 | Excludes hostel fee | Source: fee structure shared with Orchid Education Foundation for the 2026 admission cycle. Our own college fee comparison table separately lists a 2026-27 management-quota headline figure of ₹19,50,000/year for this college — that is a per-year quick-reference number, while the installment schedule above is the fuller, course-length picture. Independent aggregator listings quote yet other figures (roughly ₹90,00,000 total course fee on one, ₹18,00,000/year on another), which is normal for a private college fee that isn't published in one centralised official document — confirm the exact figure with the college's admission office in writing before you pay anything. ## Four Room Options, Billed Yearly | Accommodation | Yearly Charge | |---|---| | Double Occupancy, without AC | ₹2,06,064 | | Double Occupancy, with AC | ₹2,47,276 | | Triple Occupancy, without AC | ₹1,92,326 | | Triple Occupancy, with AC | ₹2,19,801 | One-time Establishment Charge, on top of whichever room type you choose: ₹30,000 . ## What TSMC Actually Is | Detail | Fact | |---|---| | Full name | Tripura Santiniketan Medical College and Hospital (TSMC / TSMCH) | | Location | Madhuban, Ranikhamar, Agartala, West Tripura — roughly 20 km from Agartala Airport | | Ownership | Private, unaided | | Established | 2024 — the first private medical college in Tripura under the NMC Act | | Affiliation | Tripura University | | Recognition | Approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) | | MBBS seats | 150 a year | | Teaching hospital | Associated multi-specialty teaching hospital on campus | | Course duration | 4.5 years plus 1-year compulsory rotating internship | College facts above are cross-checked against independent education-listing sites, not a single official college prospectus — if you need the current, official version (recognition renewal status, exact seat count for this admission cycle), ask the college's admission office directly, or ask us and we will chase it down for you. ## How a Seat at TSMC Is Actually Allotted | # | Step | |---|---| | 1 | Qualify NEET UG 2026. Mandatory for every seat at TSMC, regardless of quota. | | 2 | Register on Tripura's counselling portal, trmcc.admissions.nic.in, within the Round 1 window. Tripura-domicile candidates apply under the State Quota track; every other candidate in India applies under the 75-seat TSMC All India track (part of 105 All India seats split with Tripura Medical College). | | 3 | Fill your choice list in genuine order of preference within the choice-filling window, including TSMC at whichever position reflects your real interest. | | 4 | Allotment is generated by TRMCC from your locked choices, in rank order, on the dates published in the Round 1 schedule. Nobody outside that process can influence this step. | | 5 | Report for document verification and admission formalities within the deadline TRMCC publishes, and pay the ₹45,00,000 admission-time fee directly to the college, against a receipt. | If anyone offers to reserve or guarantee a seat at TSMC before official TRMCC allotment, or asks for payment outside the schedule above, that is not how this process works. Read what a genuine admission scam looks like before you send any money. ## Where TSMC Fits Your Actual Budget Unlike most private medical colleges outside the Northeast, TSMC is genuinely open to a non-domicile candidate through the same Round 1 counselling as Tripura's own residents — 75 of its 150 MBBS seats are reserved for All India candidates, on the same trmcc.admissions.nic.in portal, in the same registration window. That access is the easy part; the ₹95,00,000 course fee, front-loaded with a ₹45,00,000 admission payment and then ₹7-8,00,000 every six months through 2030, plus hostel, needs to fit your family's actual finances over the full course — not an average family's. We are a Guwahati-based consultancy that has worked NEET admissions since 2008. We will tell you plainly whether TSMC's 75 All India seats are reachable on your NEET UG 2026 rank and affordable on your family's budget — and just as plainly if they are not. Read the full Tripura Round 1 counselling schedule for registration and choice-filling dates, or check how management quota legally works elsewhere in India. ## Questions Parents Ask Us ₹95,00,000 across the course, excluding hostel fees, per the fee structure shared with Orchid Education Foundation for the 2026 admission cycle. ₹42,00,000 plus ₹3,00,000 in cash is payable at admission (₹45,00,000 total), followed by seven further installments: ₹8,00,000 in August 2027, then ₹7,00,000 twice a year — February and August — from 2028 through August 2030. Independent listings quote a range of figures for this college (roughly ₹90,00,000 total on one aggregator, ₹18,00,000/year management quota on another), which is normal for a private college whose fee isn't published in one single official document the way a state counselling authority's fee table is — confirm the current figure directly with the college admission cell before you pay anything. Four room options, billed yearly: Double Occupancy without AC is ₹2,06,064; Double Occupancy with AC is ₹2,47,276; Triple Occupancy without AC is ₹1,92,326; Triple Occupancy with AC is ₹2,19,801. A one-time Establishment Charge of ₹30,000 applies on top of whichever room type you choose. None of this is included in the ₹95,00,000 course fee above. Tripura Santiniketan Medical College runs 150 MBBS seats a year. Within Tripura's own Round 1 counselling, 75 of those seats are opened specifically to All India candidates — anyone who has qualified NEET UG 2026, regardless of home state — while the remaining seats go to Tripura-domicile State Quota candidates under TRMCC's five eligibility clauses. This 75-seat All India track is separate from, and additional to, the 15% All India Quota that MCC allots nationally at government colleges; TSMC is a private college, so its 75 All India seats run through Tripura's own counselling portal, trmcc.admissions.nic.in, not through MCC. For a candidate from Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur or elsewhere in the Northeast without Tripura domicile, the 75 All India seats at TSMC are a genuinely open route — register on the same TRMCC portal, in the same Round 1 window, as Tripura's own domicile candidates. Whether it fits your family depends on the ₹95,00,000 course cost plus hostel, spread as ₹45,00,000 upfront and roughly ₹7-8,00,000 every six months through 2030 — a real, recurring commitment, not a one-time number. Call us and we will tell you honestly whether your rank reaches it and whether the payment schedule fits your budget. Treat it as OEF's current reference for the 2026 admission cycle, not a figure published by a state fee-regulatory body. Tripura Santiniketan Medical College is a private, NMC-approved institution established in 2024, and unlike Rajasthan or Karnataka, Tripura does not publish a single centralised private-college fee document alongside its counselling schedule. Confirm the final figure directly with the college's admission office and get it in writing before you pay anything. ## Considering TSMC's 75 All India Seats? Let's Check Your Rank and Your Budget Together. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and home state. We will tell you honestly whether TSMC's All India seats are reachable on your rank, walk you through the ₹95,00,000 installment schedule against your family's finances, and help you run this alongside your MCC AIQ choices without missing a deadline. --- # West Bengal NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Schedule Out Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/west-bengal-neet-counselling-2026.html # West Bengal NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Counselling Schedule Is Out Round 1 is complete: WBMCC published its Provisional Seat Allotment Result on 31 August 2026, and reporting for allotted candidates ran 1–5 September. The Board has now issued the Round 2 schedule , per Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2262, dated 3 September 2026: online registration runs 7–9 September , software-assigned verification runs 8–10 September , online seat surrender runs 11–12 September , the seat matrix and verified-candidate list publish 12 September , choice filling and locking runs 12–14 September , the allotment result is due 15 September , and reporting/admission runs 16–18 September 2026 .

Last verified · 4 September 2026 · against WBMCC's Round 2 schedule, Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2262, dated 3 September 2026 The short version. Round 1 finished with WBMCC's Provisional Seat Allotment Result, published 31 August 2026, and reporting through 5 September. The Board's Round 2 schedule , Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2262 dated 3 September 2026 , now covers State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota seats together: online registration runs 1 PM, 7 September to 6 PM, 9 September ; online fee payment runs to midnight, 9 September ; software-assigned verification (not applicable to NRI candidates — see Notice Point 3) runs 8, 9 and 10 September, 11 AM to 4 PM ; online seat surrender at the allotted college, with original documents, runs 11 and 12 September, 10 AM to 3 PM ; the list of successfully verified candidates and the Round 2 seat matrix publish 12 September after 4 PM ; choice filling and locking runs 6 PM, 12 September to 10 AM, 14 September ; the allotment result publishes 15 September after 6 PM ; and reporting/admission of allotted candidates runs 16, 17 and 18 September, 10 AM to 4 PM . As before, private medical college admissions happen at government colleges in Kolkata, not the private campus; private dental colleges report centrally at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College. ## Round 2 Counselling, Eight Steps to Reporting Breaking · WBMCC Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2262, dated 3 September 2026 Round 1 is done. Here is the full Round 2 timetable, in one memo covering State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota seats together. Online registration by candidates qualified through NEET UG 2026 runs 1 PM, 7 September to 6 PM, 9 September (server time); online fee payment runs the same window but stays open to midnight, 9 September . After successful registration and payment, the software assigns each candidate a verification slot at their already-designated college — this runs 8, 9 and 10 September, 11 AM to 4 PM , and does not apply to NRI candidates (see Notice Point 3 for their separate process). Online seat surrender at the allotted college level, with all original documents, runs 11 and 12 September, 10 AM to 3 PM . The list of successfully verified candidates and the Round 2 seat matrix publish 12 September, after 4 PM . Online choice filling and choice locking by verified candidates runs 6 PM, 12 September to 10 AM, 14 September . The Round 2 allotment result publishes 15 September, after 6 PM . Reporting and admission of allotted candidates then runs 16, 17 and 18 September, 10 AM to 4 PM — at the allotted institute, with original documents, the college fee and a bond, after physical re-verification; upgraded candidates must also return the fee and documents from their previous college, along with a server-generated relieving letter, before moving to the newly allotted college. As before, all Private Medical College admissions happen at different Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata (venue notice published separately), and all Private Dental College candidates report centrally to Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College. | # | Event | Date & Time (server time) | |---|---|---| | 1 | Online registration by candidates qualified through NEET UG 2026 | 1 PM, 7 Sept – 6 PM, 9 Sept | | 2 | Online fee payment | 1 PM, 7 Sept – midnight, 9 Sept | | 3 | Verification at software-designated college and slot (not applicable for NRI candidates) | 8, 9 & 10 Sept, 11 AM–4 PM | | 4 | Online seat surrender at allotted college, with original documents | 11 & 12 Sept, 10 AM–3 PM | | 5 | Publication of verified-candidate list and Round 2 seat matrix | 12 Sept, after 4 PM | | 6 | Choice filling and locking by verified candidates | 6 PM, 12 Sept – 10 AM, 14 Sept | | 7 | Publication of allotment result, Round 2 | 15 Sept, after 6 PM | | 8 | Reporting & admission (govt. colleges in Kolkata for private-medical allottees; Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College for private-dental allottees) | 16, 17 & 18 Sept, 10 AM–4 PM | The seat-surrender question from Round 1 is answered. Round 1's Memo No. 2190 dropped the seat-surrender step that its predecessor had listed, and we flagged that as unresolved. This Round 2 memo confirms it wasn't dropped for good — seat surrender simply moved to Round 2, where it now sits as step 4 above. Round 1 · Complete · Memo No. 2190 supersedes Memo No. 2055 · 20 August 2026 This is not a minor extension — the whole back half of the Round 1 schedule has moved. The original memo (No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2055, dated 11 August 2026) had verification, seat matrix and choice filling all landing in the 19–21 August window. The revised Memo No. 2190, dated 20 August 2026, opens a second registration and payment window (20–23 August) alongside the original one, adds two more verification dates (21 and 24 August), and pushes the seat matrix, choice filling, result and reporting each back by roughly a week. If you registered and were verified under the original 13–16 August window, your registration carries forward — this revision mainly matters to candidates who missed that window, and it resets every downstream date for everyone. ## Eight Steps, Registration to Reporting | # | Event | Date & Time (server time) | |---|---|---| | 1 | Publication of Notice cum Information Bulletin and Schedule | 11 August 2026 | | 2 | Online registration by NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates | 11 AM, 13 Aug – 6 PM, 16 Aug & 3 PM, 20 Aug – 6 PM, 23 Aug | | 3 | Online fee payment | 11 AM, 13 Aug – midnight, 16 Aug & 3 PM, 20 Aug – midnight, 23 Aug | | 4 | Verification at software-designated college and slot (not for NRI candidates — see Notice Point 3) | 14, 17 & 18 Aug, 11 AM–4 PM & 21, 24 Aug, 11 AM–4 PM | | 5 | Publication of successfully verified candidate list and seat matrix, Round 1 | 25 August, after 12 noon | | 6 | Choice filling and locking by verified candidates | 4 PM, 25 Aug – 4 PM, 27 Aug | | 7 | Publication of allotment result, Round 1 | Published — 31 August, after 4 PM (provisional) | | 8 | Reporting & admission of allotted candidates, with documents, college fee and bond, after physical re-verification (private medical colleges admit at government colleges in Kolkata; private dental colleges at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College) | 1, 2, 3 & 5 September, 10 AM–4 PM | Update: the seat-surrender step turned up in Round 2, not Round 1. Memo No. 2055 (11 August) had listed a ninth row — online seat surrender, 3 September, 11 AM–4 PM — that the revised Round 1 Memo No. 2190 didn't repeat. We flagged that as unresolved at the time. WBMCC's Round 2 memo (No. 2262, 3 September) answers it: seat surrender is now step 4 of the Round 2 schedule, running 11–12 September. See the Round 2 section above for the full timetable. The detail almost everyone misses A private college allotment does not mean reporting at the private college. The revised memo repeats the same instruction as the original: for all Private Medical Colleges, admission is processed at different Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata, with the specific venue published separately on the WBMCC website. For all Private Dental Colleges, every candidate reports to one centralised venue — Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College — regardless of which private dental college they were allotted. If you are travelling from outside Kolkata to report, confirm the exact government college venue on the WBMCC website before you book travel, not after. ## The Software Assigns Your College and Time After you register and pay, the system — not you — assigns a designated college and time slot for document verification. Under the revised schedule this now spans five separate dates: 14, 17 and 18 August for candidates who registered in the first window, and 21 and 24 August for the second. There is no booking interface where you pick a convenient date. Keep whichever of these dates applies to your registration window genuinely free until you see your assigned slot. NRI candidates are explicitly exempted from this verification step under Point 3 of the official notice. We have not seen the full text of that point, so if you are applying under NRI quota, get the NRI-specific process confirmed directly from WBMCC rather than assuming it mirrors the general process described here. Source and scope. Round 1's dates came from WBMCC's Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, dated 20 August 2026, titled “Revised Tentative Schedule for Round 1 of Counseling WB NEET UG 2026 for State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota Seats in West Bengal,” signed by the Director of Medical Education and Chairman of the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee, which superseded the earlier Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2055 of 11 August 2026 — and it held right through to the Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment Result, published 31 August 2026 exactly as projected. Round 2's dates come from the Board's next memo, No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2262, dated 3 September 2026, titled “Revised Tentative Schedule for Round 2 of Counseling WB NEET UG 2026 for State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota Seats in West Bengal,” also signed by the Director of Medical Education and Chairman of the WBMCC.

Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us WBMCC issued the Round 2 schedule on 3 September 2026 (Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2262), covering State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota seats together. Online registration runs 1 PM, 7 September to 6 PM, 9 September; fee payment stays open to midnight, 9 September. Software-assigned verification (not applicable to NRI candidates) runs 8, 9 and 10 September, 11 AM to 4 PM. Online seat surrender at the allotted college, with original documents, runs 11 and 12 September, 10 AM to 3 PM. The verified-candidate list and seat matrix publish 12 September after 4 PM, choice filling and locking runs 6 PM, 12 September to 10 AM, 14 September, and the allotment result publishes 15 September after 6 PM. Reporting and admission of allotted candidates runs 16, 17 and 18 September, 10 AM to 4 PM, with private-medical allottees reporting at government colleges in Kolkata and private-dental allottees at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College. Memo No. HFW-23099/320/2026/M/2190, dated 20 August 2026, titled “Revised Tentative Schedule for Round 1 of Counseling WB NEET UG 2026 for State Quota, Private Management Quota and NRI Quota Seats in West Bengal.” It replaces the earlier Memo No. 2055 of 11 August 2026 and sets out a materially different Round 1 timetable, from a second registration window through to reporting. In two windows. The first ran 11:00 AM on 13 August to 6:00 PM on 16 August 2026 — already closed. A second window has now opened: 3:00 PM on 20 August to 6:00 PM on 23 August 2026, server time. Online fee payment mirrors this with a slightly longer close each time — midnight on 16 August for the first window, and midnight on 23 August for the second. After successful registration and fee payment, the software assigns each candidate a verification slot at an already designated college. Under the revised memo this runs on four dates: 14, 17 and 18 August (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for the first registration window), and 21 and 24 August (11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, for the second window). The step does not apply to NRI candidates, who should refer to Point 3 of the official notice for their separate process. The list of successfully verified candidates and the Round 1 seat matrix published on 25 August, after 12 noon — a full six days later than the 19 August date in the previous memo. Choice filling and locking ran from 4:00 PM on 25 August to 4:00 PM on 27 August. The allotment result was published on 31 August, after 4:00 PM, as a provisional result. Reporting and admission of allotted candidates runs over four days — 1, 2, 3 and 5 September, 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM — with original documents, the college fee, and a bond, after physical re-verification. Yes. WBMCC published the Round 1 Provisional Seat Allotment Result for WB NEET UG 2026 on 31 August 2026, exactly on the date Memo No. 2190 had set. It's a large result document covering State Quota MBBS and BDS seats at colleges across the state, including Medical College Kolkata and IPGMER Kolkata, with each row showing a candidate's rank, choice number, allotted college and course, quota and category. It's explicitly marked provisional, so treat it as subject to correction rather than final. The document itself won't tell you your outcome at a glance — you need to search for your own name or roll number on the WBMCC portal. If you've been allotted a seat, reporting runs 1 to 5 September, as already scheduled. Not at the private college itself. The revised memo repeats the same instruction as before: for all Private Medical Colleges, the admission process will be conducted at different Government Medical Colleges in Kolkata, with the specific venue notice published separately on the WBMCC website. For all Private Dental Colleges, reporting is centralised at Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College. Do not travel to the private college campus expecting to complete admission there. It moved to Round 2, not Round 1. The original Memo No. 2055 (11 August) had listed a separate online seat-surrender window on 3 September as a Round 1 step, but the revised Round 1 Memo No. 2190 dropped it, leaving the question open. WBMCC's Round 2 memo (No. 2262, 3 September 2026) resolves it: online seat surrender at the allotted college, with original documents, is now step 4 of the Round 2 schedule, running 11 and 12 September, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. ## Allotted a Private College Seat?

Round 1 has kept moving since then, and the Board keeps pushing the finish line back. A notice on 25 August moved the result and opened document verification; a fresh notice on 31 August has just extended that verification deadline again, to today, 1 September 2026. If you're in the middle of Round 1 verification, this is the date that matters to you right now. Last verified · 1 September 2026 · against Board Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04, dated 31 August 2026, extending Round 1 document verification to 1 September 2026. We have not independently reviewed anything from the Board beyond what is cited on this page — for the confirmed Round 1 result date and full schedule, check bceceboard.bihar.gov.in. The short version. Registration for Bihar's UGMAC 2026 counselling closed on 14 August 2026 , and choice filling locked three days later, on 17 August . Round 1 counselling is now underway: document verification is open, and BCECEB's Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04, dated 31 August 2026, has just extended its closing date to today, 1 September 2026 , in continuation of an earlier notice (No. 03) dated 25 August. We haven't independently confirmed the exact date Round 1 results were declared beyond what's cited further down this page, so if you need that specific date, check bceceboard.bihar.gov.in directly. Round 2 was last pencilled in for an 11 September allotment, but the Board says fresh Round 2 dates will be announced separately — treat those as provisional. ## Five Days to Register, Then Everything Follows Automatically | Stage | Date | |---|---| | Seat matrix posted on the Board's website | 7 August 2026 | | Online registration & application-cum-choice filling opens (Round 1 & Round 2) | 10 August 2026 | | Last date for registration, payment and form editing (Round 1 & Round 2) | 14 August 2026, 11:59 pm | | Publication of rank card | 16 August 2026 | | Last date of choice filling & locking (Round 1 & Round 2) | 17 August 2026, 11:59 pm | | Round 1 provisional seat allotment result (revised) | 25 August 2026 was 20 Aug | | Downloading of Round 1 allotment order | 25 August – 31 August 2026 | | Round 1 document verification & admission (deadline extended) | 27 August – 1 September 2026 was 27–31 Aug | Why these dates keep moving. Board Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/03 (Memo No. 1313/2026, dated 25 August 2026) stated plainly: “In the light of extension of counselling schedule by MCC, UGMAC-2026 Round-1 Online Counselling Programme is hereby extended.” That notice pushed the Round 1 provisional result from 20 to 25 August and opened verification through 31 August. That deadline has now moved again: Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04, dated 31 August 2026, extends the last date for Round 1 document verification to 1 September 2026 — today — while confirming that everything else in the original 7 August advertisement stands. Round 2 information is still to be announced separately, so the September dates further down this page remain the Board's last published figures, not confirmed ones. ## The September Half You Have Already Registered For | Stage | Date | |---|---| | Resignation through Free Exit from Round 1 counselling | 3 – 4 September 2026 | | Online choice filling for Round 2 seat allotment | 6 September 2026 | | Last date of choice filling and locking (Round 2) | 7 September 2026 | | Round 2 provisional seat allotment result | 11 September 2026 | | Downloading of Round 2 allotment order | 14 – 15 September 2026 | | Round 2 document verification & admission | 15 – 18 September 2026 | Read this twice. There is no Round 2 registration window. The only date on which you can enter UGMAC 2026 at all is on or before 14 August. Round 2 in September is choice filling for people who are already inside the system. A student who assumes Bihar works like Chhattisgarh — fresh application each phase — will find the door shut in September. ## Thirteen Items, Uploaded Then Produced in Original Every applicable certificate must be uploaded when you download your provisional seat allotment order, and then submitted in original at document verification. Uploading alone does not complete anything. | # | Document | |---|---| | 1 | Admit card of NEET (UG) 2026 | | 2 | Score card of NEET (UG) 2026 | | 3 | Rank card of UGMAC 2026 | | 4 | Passing certificate / mark sheet / admit card of Matric or equivalent | | 5 | Passing certificate / mark sheet / admit card of Intermediate, 10+2 or equivalent | | 6 | Residential certificate | | 7 | Caste certificate or EWS certificate | | 8 | Any other required document — DQ (PH), NRI, Minority, Ward Quota certificate | | 9 | Printed confirmation page of the online application form | | 10 | All certificates and documents in original required for private medical or dental college admission | | 11 | Six passport-size photographs — the same photograph pasted on your NEET (UG) 2026 admit card | | 12 | Aadhaar card | | 13 | Downloaded check slip along with one copy of Biometric Identification Report Form 1 | PwBD / DQ candidates. The UDID card, the affidavit and the DQ certificate issued by the nominated Nodal Centre must be merged into a single PDF and uploaded at the specified place. Three separate uploads will not be accepted. The same set is produced in original at physical verification. ## 14 August Is a Crowded Day on the 2026 Calendar Bihar's registration deadline sits inside the busiest fortnight of the counselling year. MCC Round 1 choice filling went live on 7 August and, after a schedule extension under MCC Notice No. 10, ran until 18 August, with the seat matrix already published and the registration reset facility open until 11:00 am on 12 August. Chhattisgarh opens on 9 August and closes on 16 August. Meghalaya's PIMC window shuts on 13 August. Telangana's CAP verification runs 13–14 August in Hyderabad. If Bihar is one of several applications you are running, do the registration first and the choice filling later. Registration has a hard 14 August cut-off; choice filling gives you until 17 August. Spending 12 August perfecting a choice list while the registration form sits half-finished is the failure mode we see most often. Compare all nineteen state windows on the deadline tracker , or read the MCC All India Quota schedule to see where the national rounds collide with this one. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Online registration and submission of the application-cum-choice filling form opens on 10 August 2026 and closes on 14 August 2026 at 11:59 pm, including the payment by debit card, credit card, net banking or UPI. Editing of application form data closes at the same moment. The seat matrix went up on the Board’s website on 7 August 2026. Yes, and this is the single most important thing to understand about the Bihar schedule. The 10–14 August registration window is labelled for Round 1 and Round 2 together. There is no second registration window in September. If you miss 14 August, you are out of both rounds, not just the first one. Bihar works differently from Chhattisgarh here, where every phase carries its own fresh application. On 16 August 2026, two days after registration closes and one day before choice locking ends. The rank card is built from your NEET UG 2026 rank, your registration, the choices you have filled, and payment of the counselling fee and security deposit. As last published, 3 to 4 September 2026, candidates who took a Round 1 seat can resign from it through Free Exit before Round 2 choice filling opens on 6 September. That was set against a Round 1 verification window that has since moved twice — first to 31 August (Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/03, dated 25 August), then to 1 September 2026 (Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04, dated 31 August) — and the Board says fresh Round 2 information will follow separately, so this Free Exit window itself may move too; confirm on bceceboard.bihar.gov.in before assuming 3 September still holds. The Round 1 provisional seat allotment result was revised to 25 August 2026 (from an earlier 20 August), per Board Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/03 dated 25 August 2026, which cited a further extension of MCC's own schedule as the reason. Allotment orders could be downloaded from 25 to 31 August, and document verification opened on 27 August. BCECEB has since pushed the verification deadline again, to 1 September 2026, per Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04 dated 31 August 2026. Round 2 dates below are the last ones the Board has published; both notices say fresh Round 2 information will follow separately, so treat them as provisional until the Board confirms. Yes, Round 1 is well underway. After the provisional result and the opening of document verification, BCECEB first pushed the verification window to 31 August, and then, in Notice BCECEB(UGMAC)-2026/04 dated 31 August 2026, extended it again to 1 September 2026 — today. That notice says every other condition from the original 7 August advertisement stands unchanged. We are going on the Board's own extension notices for these dates; for the exact date Round 1 results were declared, or the fuller picture of where counselling stands right now, check bceceboard.bihar.gov.in directly. Thirteen items, all in original at verification and uploaded when you download the provisional allotment order: NEET UG 2026 admit card and score card, UGMAC 2026 rank card, Class 10 passing certificate or mark sheet or admit card, the equivalent for Class 12, residential certificate, caste or EWS certificate, any DQ / NRI / Minority / Ward Quota certificate, printed confirmation page of the online application, all originals required for private medical or dental college admission, six passport-size photographs matching the one on your NEET admit card, Aadhaar card, and the downloaded check slip with one copy of Biometric Identification Report Form 1. Yes. The notice requires DQ candidates to merge the UDID card, the affidavit and the DQ certificate into a single PDF and upload it at the specified place. All three must go in as one file, not three. The same documents must then be produced in original at physical verification. ## Miss 14 August and You Miss September Too. Let's Get the Registration Done First. One UGMAC window covers both rounds, and there is no second entry point. Send us your NEET UG 2026 rank, category and residential status and we'll work through the form, the security deposit and the choice list in the right order. --- # Jharkhand NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Schedule: 1–18 September Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/jharkhand-neet-counselling-2026.html # Jharkhand NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Runs 1–18 September for Vacant Seats JCECEB has now published the actual dates for Round 2, and it isn't one counselling window but three running side by side on the same calendar. Registration for new candidates opens 1 September and closes 3 September, the State Merit List for this round comes out on 6 September, choice filling runs 7 to 9 September, and provisional seat allotment letters go out 11 to 18 September, with document verification and admission at the college also closing 18 September. That single timetable covers State Quota seats in MBBS, BDS and BHMS; the vacant 60% All India Quota and 15% NRI-quota MBBS seats at four named private colleges — Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College in Palamu, Netaji Subhas Medical College in Seraikela-Kharsawan, Sido Kanhu Medical College in Dumka, and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research in Khunti; and the equivalent AIQ and NRI-quota BDS seats at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa. The Board issued this Press Communique on 31 August 2026, acting on a Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi direction dated 27 August. This page also carries the eligibility rules, fee table and security deposit figures that apply across all three tracks. Last verified · 4 September 2026 · Advt. Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 & -76 (31 Aug) carry the revised Round 2 schedule; Advt. -78 (4 Sept) extends the merit-list correction window to 5 September Round 2 Dates Confirmed · Advt. Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 & -76 · 31 August 2026 Round 1 admission closed 5 September; Round 2 for the leftover seats runs 1 to 18 September. JCECEB's Press Communique dated 31 August 2026, issued per a Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi direction of 27 August 2026, sets out the revised Round 2 schedule in full: new candidates register 1–3 September, the round’s merit list is out 6 September, choice filling runs 7–9 September, and provisional allotment letters follow 11–18 September, with verification and admission also closing 18 September. One schedule, three tracks. It applies equally to State Quota MBBS/BDS/BHMS seats; to the vacant 60% All India Quota and 15% NRI-quota MBBS seats at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu; Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan; Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka; and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti; and to the vacant 60% AIQ and 15% NRI-quota BDS seats at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa. If you already have a seat from Round 1 and want to try for something else, you can — but accepting a new allotment cancels the old admission automatically, and moving from a State Quota seat to an AIQ seat means surrendering the State Quota seat and losing its security deposit. See the schedule table and policy notes further down this page for the full breakdown. ## Merit List Correction, Window Extended to 5 September Important · Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-78, dated 4 September 2026 Correcting your category or other State Merit List particulars? The window just got two extra days. JCECEB's Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-77 (1 September 2026) had opened a window for candidates to apply for correction in Category and other relevant particulars in the State Merit List based on the NEET (UG)-2026 result. A further notice, Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-78, dated 4 September 2026, extends that window to 6:00 PM, 5 September 2026 . The Board is explicit that the earlier advertisement “should be considered modified up to this extent” only — every other term and condition in Advt. -77 stands unchanged. This notice is published under the “Important Notice” section of jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in; we have the extension itself directly from the Board, but not the full text of the original Advt. -77 beyond what this continuation describes, so confirm the complete correction procedure and any category-specific documentation required directly on the Board's website before you apply. Round 2 runs 1 to 18 September 2026, for vacant seats only. JCECEB, Ranchi, issued its Press Communique on 31 August 2026 (Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 and -76), acting on a Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi direction dated 27 August. New candidates apply 1–3 September, the merit list for this round comes out 6 September, choice filling runs 7–9 September, and provisional allotment letters go out 11–18 September, with admission also closing 18 September. The same dates cover three tracks: State Quota seats in MBBS, BDS and BHMS; the vacant 60% All India Quota and 15% NRI-quota MBBS seats at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu, Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan, Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka, and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti; and the vacant 60% AIQ and 15% NRI-quota BDS seats at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa. A Round 1 candidate can try for a different seat in this round, but a new allotment cancels the old admission automatically, and switching from a State Quota seat to an AIQ seat means surrendering the State Quota seat and forfeiting its security deposit. (Round 1 itself had earlier been revised to close 25 August, with admission running 27 August to 5 September — see the full history below.) ## Four Days to Apply, Merit List Out the Next Day | Activity | Originally Notified | Revised (Advt. -56, 11 Aug) | |---|---|---| | Online application form submission | 7 – 11 Aug (till 3 PM) | Till 13 August 2026 | | Editing of application form | 11 Aug, 3:01 PM – midnight | 13 August, 6 PM – midnight | | Publication of merit list | 12 August 2026 | 14 August 2026 | Submission and editing now overlap. The revised notice states both activities continue simultaneously up to 13 August, 6 PM to midnight — so you can still edit an already-submitted form right up to the same deadline as new submissions, not on a separate, earlier cut-off. Already applied earlier? The original notice is explicit at point 3: candidates who already applied for inclusion in the merit list do not need to fill this form again for the subsequent rounds. If you registered under the Board's earlier notice, check your existing status before submitting a duplicate application. ## Four Rounds, Ending 10 October Round 1 — State Quota (MBBS & BDS) — Revised 21 August, Advt. -66 | Activity | Earlier Notified | Revised (Advt. -60) | Updated (Advt. -66, 21 Aug) | |---|---|---|---| | Online registration & choice filling opens | 14 August 2026 — unchanged | | | | Last date of online registration & choice filling | 19 August 2026 | 21 August 2026 | 25 August 2026 | | Editing filled-up choices, if needed | 20 August 2026 | 21 August 2026 | 25 August 2026 | | Seat allotment & downloading provisional letter | 22 – 28 August 2026 | 23 – 28 August 2026 | 27 August – 5 September 2026 | | Document verification & admission | 23 – 28 August 2026 | 28 August – 5 September 2026 | | Per Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-66: registration/choice-filling and editing continue simultaneously on 25 August, exactly as they did on the single day under the previous revision. Round 1 — All India Quota MBBS, Four Colleges — Revised 21 August, Advt. -66 Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu · Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan · Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka · Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti | Activity | Earlier Notified | Revised (Advt. -60) | Updated (Advt. -66, 21 Aug) | |---|---|---|---| | Online registration & choice filling opens | 14 August 2026 — unchanged | | | | Last date of online registration & choice filling | 20 August 2026 | 21 August 2026 | 25 August 2026 | | Seat allotment & downloading provisional letter | 22 – 28 August 2026 | 23 – 28 August 2026 | 27 August – 5 September 2026 | | Document verification & admission | 23 – 28 August 2026 | 28 August – 5 September 2026 | | Round 1 — All India Quota BDS, New in Advt. -66 Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa (under Babu Dinesh Singh University, Garhwa) is named for the first time in Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-66 as an All India Quota BDS seat under this Round 1 counselling. Its dates, confirmed from the notice's own table (c), mirror the AIQ MBBS track exactly: last date of online registration & choice filling 25 August 2026 , seat allotment & downloading of the provisional letter 27 August–5 September 2026 , and document verification & admission 28 August–5 September 2026 . Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-66, dated 21 August 2026, is issued “in compliance of direction issued by Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi on 19.08.2026 regarding extension of the schedule for 1st Round of UG State Counselling 2026” — a nationwide MCC instruction, unlike the 19 August revision which cited a Jharkhand-specific server glitch. Two further facts in the same notice: BHMS seats have not yet been received from the Health Department — recommendations will follow separately once available, based on the NEET (UG) State Merit List — and Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi has been authorised (Health Dept letter dated 20 August 2026) to issue disability certificates for MBBS, BDS and BHMS admission from the current 2026-27 session. Advt. Nos. -47, -52, -53 and -60 are all considered modified to the extent of this new notice; other terms and conditions remain unchanged. Rechecked 1 September 2026: Round 1's document verification and admission window (28 August–5 September, per Advt. -66) has closed. JCECEB has now issued the Press Communique for Round 2 — Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 and -76, dated 31 August 2026 — giving the revised schedule below for vacant seats, per a Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi direction dated 27 August. It replaces the originally notified 11 August (Advt. -56) Round 2 dates shown further down this section for comparison. Round 3 and the Stray Vacancy round have not been revised as of this update. Round 2 — Revised Schedule (Advt. JCECEB/46/26-75 & -76, 31 Aug 2026) — State Quota, MBBS/BDS/BHMS | Activity | Date | |---|---| | Online application by new candidates | 1 – 3 September 2026 | | Editing of application form by registered candidates | 4 September 2026 | | Publication of State Merit List for Round 2 | 6 September 2026 | | Vacant seat matrix displayed | 7 September 2026 | | Choice filling opens | 7 September 2026 | | Choice filling closes | 9 September 2026 | | Editing of filled-up choices, if needed | 10 September 2026 (till 12 noon) | | Provisional seat allotment letter issued | 11 – 18 September 2026 | | Document verification & admission at the institute | 12 – 18 September 2026 | Two more tracks run on the exact same dates. The table above also governs the vacant 60% All India Quota seats and the separate 15% NRI-quota seats in MBBS at four named colleges — Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu; Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan; Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka; and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti — and the vacant 60% AIQ and 15% NRI-quota BDS seats at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa (under Babu Dinesh Singh University). Registration, merit list, choice filling, allotment and admission fall on identical dates across all three tracks; only the seats on offer differ. What switching seats during Round 2 actually means. A candidate already admitted through Round 1 who wants a different course or college can apply in Round 2 — but if a new seat comes through, it has to be accepted, and the earlier admission is cancelled the moment that happens. If you already applied for the State Merit List ahead of Round 1, you don't need to fill a fresh online application now; your existing entry carries forward. And if a candidate holding a State Quota seat wants to move to an All India Quota seat instead, the State Quota seat must be surrendered first, with a written resignation submitted to the institute that admitted them — and the security deposit paid there is forfeited when that happens. This communique also modifies, to the extent stated above, four earlier notices: Advt. Nos. JCECEB/46/26-47 (6 August), -52 (8 August), -53 (8 August) and -60 (19 August); everything else in those notices stands as before. Round 2 — As Originally Notified (Advt. -56, 11 Aug) — Now Superseded Above | Activity | Date | |---|---| | New candidate application submission | 25 – 28 August 2026 | | Merit list for Round 2 published | 30 August 2026 | | Vacant seat matrix displayed | 31 August 2026 | | Choice filling opens (registered candidates) | 31 August 2026 | | Choice filling closes | 6 September 2026 | | Provisional seat allotment letter issued | 8 – 14 September 2026 | | Document verification & admission | 9 – 14 September 2026 | Round 3 | Activity | Date | |---|---| | New candidate application submission | 11 – 13 September 2026 | | Merit list for Round 3 published | 15 September 2026 | | Vacant seat matrix displayed | 15 September 2026 | | Choice filling opens | 16 September 2026 | | Choice filling closes | 24 September 2026 | | Provisional seat allotment letter issued | 26 September – 1 October 2026 | | Document verification & admission | 27 September – 1 October 2026 | Stray Vacancy Round | Activity | Date | |---|---| | New candidate application submission | 28 – 30 September 2026 | | Merit list for Stray Vacancy published | 2 October 2026 | | Vacant seat matrix displayed | 2 October 2026 | | Choice filling opens | 3 October 2026 | | Choice filling closes | 4 October 2026 | | Provisional seat allotment letter issued | 5 – 10 October 2026 | | Document verification & admission | 6 – 10 October 2026 | Every round after the first requires a fresh application from candidates not already registered, alongside choice filling by those already on the merit list — read each round's dates as two separate tracks, not one. ## Age and Marks, Spelled Out This Time | Requirement | Detail | |---|---| | Age | 17 years completed at the time of admission, or on or before 31 December 2026. No upper age limit. | | Subjects | Individual pass in Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English at the qualifying examination. | | Aggregate — UR / General-EWS | Minimum 50% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology taken together. | | Aggregate — SC / ST / OBC-NCL | Minimum 40% marks in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology taken together. | | Aggregate — PwBD | Minimum 40%, per NMC regulations (Physics, Chemistry and Biology or Botany & Zoology/Biotechnology). | | NEET rank | A valid rank in the NEET (UG)-2026 merit list is mandatory for every category. | ## Non-Refundable, Paid Through the Portal Only | Category / Quota | Reg./App. Fee | Counselling Fee | |---|---|---| | UR / EWS / BC-I / BC-II / SC / ST (resident of any region of India, except Jharkhand local residents) | ₹500 | ₹1,000 | | UR / EWS / BC-I / BC-II (Jharkhand local resident) | ₹500 | ₹1,000 | | SC / ST (Jharkhand local resident) | ₹250 | ₹500 | | Female candidate, all categories (Jharkhand resident or any region of India) | ₹250 | ₹500 | | Divyang, any category (Jharkhand resident or any region of India) | — | ₹500 | Paid by Credit Card, Debit Card, Net Banking or UPI through the official payment gateway only. Non-refundable in every category. ## ₹2 Lakh Locked In the Moment You're Called for Counselling | Institution Type | Security Deposit (MBBS & BDS) | |---|---| | Government | ₹20,000 (UR/EWS) · ₹10,000 (ST/SC/OBC/PWD) | | Deemed / Private | Medical College — ₹2,00,000 · Dental College — ₹1,00,000 | | Both (Government/Private, combined round) | Medical College — ₹2,00,000 · Dental College — ₹1,00,000 | | Stray / Mop-up round | ₹50,000 flat | When you lose this money. The deposit is forfeited if you do not take admission after seat allotment in the second round or any round after it. It is also forfeited — regardless of round — if you gave wrong information at registration or failed to present the required original certificates at admission. It is not forfeited if you take valid admission and no further seat is allotted afterward; in that case, or if you were never allotted a seat at all, it is refunded to the account it was paid from, within three months of the last counselling round. Per Health, Medical Education & Family Welfare Department letter No. 09/Nammankan/02-02/2021-302(9), dated 13 June 2023, applied here to the 2026-27 admission cycle. Jharkhand Combined Entrance Competitive Examination Board, Science & Technology Campus, Sirkha Toli, Namkum-Tupudana Road, Namkum, Ranchi – 834010. Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-52, dated 8 August 2026: “Important Information Regarding Submission of Online Application Form for Preparation of the Merit List on the basis of NEET(UG)-2026 Result and conduct of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & Stray Vacancy rounds of online counselling for admission to M.B.B.S. course.” Issued in compliance with Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare Department direction dated 7 August 2026 (Letter No. 09/Nammankan-02-05/2017-484(9)). Counselling follows MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) guidelines; JCECEB notes dates and terms may change if MCC's own guidelines change. Signed by order of the Controller of Examination, by the Officer on Special Duty. A revised schedule followed on 11 August 2026 (Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-56, “Very Important Information regarding Revised Schedule”), pushing the merit-list application to 13 August, publication to 14 August, and the Round 1 registration start date to 14 August — the closing date of 19 August and everything after it in Round 1 is explicitly unchanged. Point 2 of the revision notice states it modifies Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-47, dated 6 August 2026, with all other terms and conditions remaining the same. A further notice, Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-60, dated 19 August 2026, titled “Very Important Information regarding 1st Round of Online Counselling for admission under State, All India & NRI seats in M.B.B.S., B.D.S. & B.H.M.S. courses,” states that “due to some technical glitch in the server, the Board has decided to revise schedule for 1st Round of Online Counselling.” It revises, for State Quota seats in MBBS/BDS/BHMS, the registration-and-choice-filling closing date from 19 to 21 August, editing from 20 to 21 August (now simultaneous with registration), and seat allotment from 22–28 to 23–28 August; and, for All India Quota MBBS seats at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu, Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan, Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka, and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti, the registration closing date from 20 to 21 August and seat allotment from 22–28 to 23–28 August. Document verification and admission are unchanged at 23–28 August in both cases. A fourth notice, Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-66, dated 21 August 2026, states it is issued “in compliance of direction issued by Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi on 19.08.2026 regarding extension of the schedule for 1st Round of UG State Counselling 2026” — not a further technical glitch. It revises, for State Quota (MBBS & BDS), the registration/choice-filling and editing closing date to 25 August (from 21 August), seat allotment and downloading of the provisional letter to 27 August–5 September (from 23–28 August), and document verification/admission to 28 August–5 September; for All India Quota MBBS at the same four colleges, registration closing moves to 25 August with the same 27 August–5 September allotment and 28 August–5 September admission windows; and it newly names Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa (under Babu Dinesh Singh University) as an All India Quota BDS seat under this round, with the identical 25 August registration close and 27 August–5 September allotment/28 August–5 September admission windows as the AIQ MBBS colleges. The same notice records that BHMS seats have not yet been received from the Health Department, and that Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences, Ranchi has been authorised (Health Department letter dated 20 August 2026) to issue disability certificates for MBBS, BDS and BHMS admission from the 2026-27 session. Advt. Nos. -47, -52, -53 and -60 are considered modified to this extent. A fifth and sixth notice, Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 and JCECEB/46/26-76, both dated 31 August 2026, together form the Board's “Press Communique” titled “Important information regarding Revised Schedule for 2nd (Second) Round of online counselling for admission to M.B.B.S., B.D.S. & B.H.M.S. Courses,” issued by order of the Controller of Examination, in compliance with a Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi direction dated 27 August 2026 regarding the NEET-UG Schedule 2026 for Round 2 of State Counselling. It gives one revised schedule that runs across three parallel tracks: State Quota seats in MBBS, BDS and BHMS; the vacant 60% All India Quota plus 15% NRI-quota MBBS seats at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu, Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan, Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka, and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti; and the vacant 60% AIQ plus 15% NRI-quota BDS seats at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa (under Babu Dinesh Singh University). Across all three: online application by new candidates 1–3 September 2026, editing 4 September, State Merit List for Round 2 published 6 September, vacant seat matrix displayed and choice filling open 7 September, choice filling closes 9 September, editing of filled-up choices 10 September till noon, provisional seat allotment letter issued 11–18 September, and document verification with admission at the institute 12–18 September. The communique also records four policy points: a Round 1 candidate switching course or institute in Round 2 must accept any new allotment, which automatically cancels the earlier admission; a candidate who already applied for the State Merit List ahead of Round 1 need not reapply now; a State Quota-allotted candidate moving to an AIQ seat must first surrender the State Quota seat and submit a resignation to that institute, forfeiting the security deposit paid there; and the communique modifies, only to the extent stated, Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-47 (6 August), -52 (8 August), -53 (8 August) and -60 (19 August), with all other terms and conditions of those notices unchanged. Separately, Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-77, dated 1 September 2026, opened a window for candidates to apply for correction in Category and other relevant particulars in the State Merit List based on the NEET (UG)-2026 result; Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-78, dated 4 September 2026, titled “Very Important Notice regarding extension of date for correction in State Merit List based on NEET (UG)-2026 Result,” then extended that correction window to 6:00 PM, 5 September 2026, stating the earlier advertisement “should be considered modified up to this extent” with all other terms and conditions remaining the same, signed by order of the Controller of Examination by the Officer on Special Duty.

Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own notices, most recently on 4 September 2026, when Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-78 extended the State Merit List correction window to 5 September; the revised Round 2 schedule itself (1–18 September, State Quota, AIQ and NRI-quota seats) was confirmed on 1 September against Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 and -76 (31 August). State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee.

Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-77, dated 1 September 2026, opened a window for candidates to apply for correction in Category and other relevant particulars in the State Merit List based on the NEET (UG)-2026 result. A further notice, Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-78, dated 4 September 2026, extended that window to 6:00 PM, 5 September 2026. JCECEB states the earlier advertisement should be considered modified only to this extent — every other term and condition in Advt. -77 stays the same. This is a separate process from the Round 2 counselling schedule; confirm the full correction procedure directly at jceceb.jharkhand.gov.in, under the Important Notice section. Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-52, dated 8 August 2026 — a detailed notice for preparing the Merit List from NEET (UG)-2026 results and running the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Stray Vacancy rounds of online counselling. Acting on a direction from the Health, Medical Education and Family Welfare Department dated 7 August 2026, the Board is organising this counselling specifically for All India and NRI quota seats in MBBS at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Bishrampur, Palamu, and Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Adityapur, Seraikela-Kharsawan. Revised on 11 August 2026 (Advt. No. JCECEB/46/26-56): applications run until 13 August 2026, with the merit list now published on 14 August 2026 — pushed back from the originally notified 7–11 August window and 12 August publication. Submission and editing continue simultaneously up to 13 August, 6 PM to midnight. Candidates who already applied for an earlier merit-list inclusion do not need to reapply for this window — the notice says so explicitly at point 3. Round 1 (revised a third time on 21 August, Advt. -66, per MCC's nationwide extension direction of 19 August): for State Quota (MBBS/BDS), registration and choice filling now close 25 August, editing runs simultaneously on 25 August, seat allotment and provisional letter 27 August to 5 September, document verification and admission 28 August to 5 September. For All India Quota MBBS at the four named colleges, registration and choice filling now close 25 August, seat allotment 27 August to 5 September, admission 28 August to 5 September. All India Quota BDS at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa is covered by the same Advt. -66 revision with the identical dates: registration and choice filling close 25 August, seat allotment 27 August to 5 September, admission 28 August to 5 September. Round 2 as originally notified: new applications 25–28 August, merit list 30 August, choice filling 31 August–6 September, allotment letter 8–14 September, admission 9–14 September — but this was superseded on 31 August 2026 by Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 and -76, which push Round 2 to 1–18 September; see the next question for the current dates. Round 3: new applications 11–13 September, merit list 15 September, choice filling 16–24 September, allotment letter 26 September–1 October, admission 27 September–1 October. Stray Vacancy: new applications 28–30 September, merit list 2 October, choice filling 3–4 October, allotment letter 5–10 October, admission 6–10 October. Rounds 3 and the Stray Vacancy round have not been revised as of 1 September 2026, though the same MCC direction that pushed Round 2 may still prompt changes there too. JCECEB's Press Communique dated 31 August 2026 (Advertisement Nos. JCECEB/46/26-75 and -76), issued per a Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi direction of 27 August 2026, gives one revised timetable that runs across three tracks at once. Online application by new candidates: 1–3 September 2026. Editing of the form: 4 September. Publication of the State Merit List for Round 2: 6 September. Vacant seat matrix displayed and choice filling opens: 7 September, closing 9 September, with a short editing window on 10 September up to noon. Provisional seat allotment letters are issued 11–18 September, and document verification with admission at the institute runs 12–18 September. The same dates apply to State Quota seats in MBBS, BDS and BHMS; to the vacant 60% All India Quota and 15% NRI-quota MBBS seats at Laxmi Chandravansi Medical College & Hospital, Palamu, Netaji Subhas Medical College and Hospital, Seraikela-Kharsawan, Sido Kanhu Medical College & Hospital, Dumka, and Birsa Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Khunti; and to the vacant 60% AIQ and 15% NRI-quota BDS seats at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa. Candidates already admitted in Round 1 who want a different course or college can take part in this round, but if they get a new seat they must accept it — their earlier admission is cancelled automatically. Anyone who already applied for the State Merit List before Round 1 does not need to submit a fresh application now. And a candidate holding a State Quota seat who wants to move to an All India Quota seat instead must first surrender the State Quota seat and resign from that institute in writing, which means forfeiting the security deposit paid there. Advertisement No. JCECEB/46/26-66, dated 21 August 2026, states this revision is issued “in compliance of direction issued by Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi on 19.08.2026 regarding extension of the schedule for 1st Round of UG State Counselling 2026” — a nationwide MCC instruction, not a Jharkhand-specific technical problem this time (unlike the 19 August revision, which cited a server glitch). For State Quota seats (MBBS & BDS), registration and choice filling — closing 21 August under the previous notice — now close 25 August, with editing simultaneous on 25 August; seat allotment and downloading of the provisional letter moves to 27 August–5 September; document verification and admission now run 28 August–5 September. For All India Quota MBBS at the four named colleges, registration closing moves to 25 August, with the same 27 August–5 September allotment window and 28 August–5 September admission window. A parallel All India Quota BDS track at Vananchal Dental College and Hospital, Garhwa (under Babu Dinesh Singh University) is named for the first time in this notice. Two other facts surfaced in the same notice: BHMS seats have not yet been received from the Health Department, so the Board will issue BHMS recommendations separately once available; and Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences (RIMS), Ranchi has been authorised, vide Health Department letter dated 20 August 2026, to issue disability certificates for MBBS, BDS and BHMS admission from the 2026-27 session. Age: 17 years completed by 31 December 2026, no upper age limit. Education: an individual pass in Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English, with a minimum 50% aggregate in Physics, Chemistry and Biology/Biotechnology taken together at the qualifying exam, reduced to 40% for SC, ST and OBC-NCL candidates, and 40% for PwBD candidates as per NMC regulations. A valid NEET (UG)-2026 merit rank is mandatory. Government institutions: ₹20,000 for UR/EWS, ₹10,000 for ST/SC/OBC/PWD. Deemed or Private medical colleges: ₹2 lakh. Stray/Mop-up round: ₹50,000 flat, regardless of institution. This deposit is separate from the registration, application and counselling fees, and is forfeited if admission is not taken after seat allotment in the second round or any round after it, or if the candidate gave wrong information or failed to produce original certificates. It is refunded within 3 months of the last counselling round if no seat was allotted, or if a valid admission was taken and it genuinely was not required. This specific counselling is for All India Quota and NRI quota seats, which by definition are open beyond Jharkhand domicile — All India Quota seats are filled on NEET rank nationally, and NRI quota carries its own separate eligibility criteria and a distinct application format the notice mentions candidates must fill. The registration fee table also distinguishes Jharkhand residents from residents of any other region of India, confirming both groups are eligible to apply, just at different fee levels. ## AIQ and NRI Seats, Four Rounds, One Deposit You Cannot Afford to Lose Send us your NEET UG 2026 score and category and we'll tell you plainly whether these two colleges are reachable for you, what the ₹2 lakh deposit rule actually means for your Round 1 decision, and how the NRI application format differs from the standard one. --- # Odisha NEET UG 2026 — OJEE Allotment Expected 26 Aug Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/odisha-neet-counselling-2026.html # Odisha OJEE NEET UG 2026 — Provisional Allotment Out, Objection Window Closed OJEE revised its Round 1 schedule a second time on 20 August 2026 (Notice No. OJEE/430), then went further and re-revised the Final State Merit List itself on 24 August, after the 1st Phase Registration closed. Per that schedule, the 1st Round Provisional Allotment was released 24 August, and the objection window on it closed 25 August at 2:00 PM. The final 1st Round Allotment is expected around 26 August — check odishajee.com directly once it is out, since OJEE has not restated this date since the 20 August notice. Every current date below. Last verified · 25 August 2026 · against odishajee.com, OJEE Notice No. OJEE/430 (20 Aug) and the Re-Revised Final State Merit List notice (24 Aug) The short version. OJEE, Odisha's state counselling authority, opened Notice No. OJEE/389 on 5 August 2026: the tentative schedule for State Quota MBBS/BDS counselling, session 2026-27. Registration ran 6 to 10 August 2026. The provisional State Merit List published 13 August. Round 1's schedule has since been revised twice — most recently by Notice No. OJEE/430, dated 20 August 2026 — and OJEE separately re-revised the Final State Merit List itself on 24 August, after the 1st Phase Registration closed. Per that schedule, the 1st Round Provisional Allotment was released 24 August, the objection window on it closed 25 August at 2:00 PM, and the final 1st Round Allotment is expected around 26 August , with admission and reporting running 28 August to 6 September. Round 2 and Round 3 dates as previously published (8 September and 25 September) have not been restated in this revision and should be treated as provisional. Only Odisha State Natives are eligible for state quota seats — candidates from other states may apply only for NRI quota seats. A State Rank is mandatory to participate at all. Live update · 8 August 2026 · Notice No. OJEE/0401 If you hold both Gen-EWS and Odisha SEBC, you must pick one — and the choice is final. OJEE issued a notice on 8 August for NEET-UG 2026 candidates entering state counselling for Odisha state quota seats. It applies to anyone who applied under Gen-EWS in their NEET-UG application and also holds a valid SEBC certificate issued by the competent authority of the Government of Odisha. | Requirement | What it means | |---|---| | Category declaration | During online registration for OJEE state counselling, you must explicitly declare your final category choice — Gen-EWS or SEBC. Not both. | | Document verification | Choosing SEBC means producing a valid SEBC certificate issued by the competent authority of the Government of Odisha. A certificate from another state does not work here. | | Binding choice | The category selected at OJEE registration is treated as final. No request for a category change will be entertained at a later stage, under any circumstances. | The state merit list and seat allotment are generated from whichever category you declare. Claiming benefit under both simultaneously is not permitted. Work out which one gives you the better position before you open the registration form, because the form is where the decision gets locked — there is no correction window for this. The comparison is not obvious. Gen-EWS and SEBC cut-offs move differently year to year and by college, and the seat counts differ. If you hold both certificates and are unsure, work through the previous year's closing ranks for both categories at the colleges you actually want, rather than assuming reserved is automatically better. ## Odisha State Quota Is Odisha Domicile Only OJEE's own notice states this without hedging: only NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates who are Odisha State Natives are eligible for the state quota MBBS and BDS seats. Candidates from other states may be eligible for NRI quota seats only, and the notice tells candidates directly to ensure their own eligibility before registering — nobody is going to check for you in advance and tell you not to bother. The honest read for a Northeast India candidate. Without Odisha domicile, this state quota schedule is not your door. The 15% All India Quota through MCC remains open regardless of home state, and Odisha's NRI quota seats are the only other route this notice mentions — a narrower, fee-heavy path that needs its own verification with OJEE directly. MCC's own schedule → Revised twice, then the merit list itself re-revised · OJEE/420 (16 Aug), OJEE/430 (20 Aug), Re-Revised Final State Merit List (24 Aug) OJEE first revised its schedule on 16 August (Notice OJEE/420), stating plainly: “With the modification in MCC counselling schedule for All India Quota Seats counselling process, a minor revision has been made to the tentative schedule” published on 5 August (OJEE/398). Then, on 20 August, Notice No. OJEE/430 revised Round 1 a second time, citing both MCC's further modification and a revision to the State Quota Seats Schedule published 19 August. This time even the 1st Round Allotment date itself moved — from 22 to 26 August — which had held steady through the first revision. On 24 August , after 1st Phase Registration closed, OJEE went a step further and published a “Re-Revised Final State Merit List for MBBS/BDS Admission 2026-27” — so candidates should check their rank and category against this newest list, not the one published 14 August. Every step from choice filling onward is marked in red in the table below. ## Registration Through First Round Allotment | Activity | Date | |---|---| | Registration, online application, uploading documents for online verification | 6 Aug 2026, 5:00 PM – 10 Aug 2026, 11:59 PM | | PwD/PC candidates: Medical Assessment Board, SCB Medical College, Cuttack | 10 & 11 Aug 2026 | | ES candidates: ES Board, Rajya Sainik Board, IRC Village, Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar | 10 & 11 Aug 2026 | | Reconciliation and verification of data | 11 & 12 Aug 2026 | | Publication of provisional State Merit List | 13 Aug 2026, 4:00 PM | | Query window on the merit list | 14 Aug 2026, by 11:30 AM | | Publication of final State Merit List | 14 Aug 2026, 5:00 PM | | Choice filling, all State Merit Listed candidates | 2nd revision — 14 Aug 8:30 PM – 22 Aug 2026, 5:00 PM | | Choice locking activity starts | 2nd revision — 22 Aug 2026, 11:30 AM | | Reconciliation of data | 2nd revision — 23 Aug 2026 | | Re-Revised Final State Merit List published (after 1st Phase Registration) | 24 Aug 2026 | | 1st Round Provisional Allotment | 2nd revision — 24 Aug 2026, 2:00 PM | | Invitation for query on provisional allotment | 2nd revision — 25 Aug 2026, 2:00 PM (window closed today) | | Publication of 1st Round Allotment, download letter | 2nd revision — 26 Aug 2026, 11:30 AM (expected; not yet confirmed published as of 25 Aug — check odishajee.com) | | Provisional admission — fee payment, reporting at OJEE Cell, Gandamunda, with originals and signed bond | 2nd revision — 28 Aug – 6 Sep 2026 | | Withdrawal (resignation) from admission process | 23 Aug 5:00 PM – 30 Aug 2026, 11:59 PM (not restated in OJEE/430 — confirm on portal) | The Round 2 vacant-seat display date (31 August, per the first revision) sits inside the new Round 1 admission window (28 August – 6 September). OJEE's 20 August notice revises Round 1 only and states everything else from OJEE/398 stays unchanged — it does not address this overlap. Treat Round 2 dates as provisional and confirm directly on ojee.nic.in once Round 1 reporting concludes; a College-wise Reporting Schedule is still promised separately, in due course. ## For Vacant Seats and New Registrants | Activity | Date | |---|---| | Display of vacant seats | 31 Aug 2026, 5:00 PM | | Registration and document upload for 2nd round | 31 Aug 5:00 PM – 2 Sep 2026, 11:59 PM | | Publication of provisional revised State Merit List | 3 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Query on revised merit list | 4 Sep 2026, 12 Noon | | Publication of final revised State Merit List, Round 2 | 4 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Choice filling and locking | 4 Sep 7:00 PM – 6 Sep 2026, 4:30 PM | | 2nd Round Provisional Allotment | 7 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Query on provisional allotment | 8 Sep 2026, 11:30 AM | | Publication of 2nd Round Allotment, download letter | 8 Sep 2026, 7:00 PM | | Provisional admission — fee payment and reporting | 9 – 14 Sep 2026 | | Withdrawal (resignation) | 9 Sep 5:00 PM – 16 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | ## The Last Two Passes, Into October | Activity | Date | |---|---| | Registration and document upload for 3rd round | 16 Sep 5:00 PM – 17 Sep 2026, 11:59 PM | | Publication of revised State Merit List | 19 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Choice filling and locking | 19 Sep 7:00 PM – 21 Sep 2026, 4:30 PM | | 3rd Round Provisional Allotment | 23 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Query on provisional allotment | 24 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Publication of 3rd Round Allotment, download letter | 25 Sep 2026, 5:00 PM | | Provisional admission — fee payment and reporting | 27 Sep – 1 Oct 2026 | | Stray Vacancy round | 3 – 5 October 2026 | A State Rank is mandatory to participate in state counselling for every State Quota Seat under Odisha's MBBS/BDS courses — there is no route into this process without one.

Odisha Joint Entrance Examination (OJEE), Notice No. OJEE/389, dated 5 August 2026: “Tentative Counselling Schedule for Qualified NEET UG-2026 Candidates for Admission to MBBS/BDS Course Under State Quota Seats.” Revised by Notice No. OJEE/420, dated 16 August 2026, and again by Notice No. OJEE/430, dated 20 August 2026 (“2nd Revised 1st Round Counselling Activities for Admission to MBBS/BDS Course Under State Quota Seats”), both citing modifications to MCC's own All India Quota counselling schedule. A revised list of PwBD (PwD/PC)-eligible candidates followed on 19 August, and a further notice, “Re-Revised Final State Merit List for MBBS/BDS Admission 2026-27 (After 1st Phase Registration),” was published on 24 August 2026 — the most recent notice found as of this page's last check.

State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us The Odisha Joint Entrance Examination authority, which runs state medical counselling for Odisha. Notice No. OJEE/389, dated 5 August 2026, is the Tentative Counselling Schedule for qualified NEET UG 2026 candidates seeking MBBS/BDS admission under State Quota Seats for the 2026-27 session — covering registration through to a stray vacancy round in October. Only for NRI quota seats. The notice states plainly that only Odisha State Natives are eligible for the state quota MBBS and BDS seats; candidates from other states may be eligible only for NRI quota seats, and candidates are told to confirm their own eligibility before registering. If you don't hold Odisha domicile, this is not an open door the way the 15% All India Quota is. 6 August 2026 at 5:00 PM, closing 10 August 2026 at 11:59 PM, alongside uploading documents for online verification. PwD/PC candidates and Ex-Serviceman-category candidates have a separate, mandatory in-person step in the same window — the PwD/PC Medical Assessment Board sits at SCB Medical College, Cuttack, and the ES Board sits at Rajya Sainik Board, IRC Village, Nayapalli, Bhubaneswar, both on 10 and 11 August 2026. You lose the reservation, not just the appointment. OJEE's own notice states this without qualification: candidates missing the dates to appear before the applicable Medical Assessment Board or Ex-Serviceman board shall be deprived of getting PwD or ES reservations. There is no mention of a makeup date in this notice. Three full rounds plus a stray vacancy round, running from registration in early August into October 2026. After OJEE's second revision (Notice No. OJEE/430, dated 20 August 2026) and a further Re-Revised Final State Merit List published 24 August, the 1st Round Provisional Allotment was released 24 August, the objection window on it closed 25 August at 2:00 PM, and the final 1st Round Allotment is expected around 26 August, with admission and reporting running 28 August to 6 September. Round 2 and Round 3 dates as previously published (8 September and 25 September) have not been restated in this revision and may themselves shift given the later Round 1 reporting window — confirm at odishajee.com rather than assume. Each round has its own registration window for candidates who didn't get in earlier, so a slow start in Round 1 is not necessarily the end of the road — but each successive round is also thinner on seats. ## Not Odisha Domicile? Let's Find What Actually Fits You. If Odisha's state quota isn't open to you, we'll tell you plainly and point you toward what is — NRI quota, the All India Quota, or a state where your score genuinely competes. --- # Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Open, 1,304 Seats Vacant Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/chhattisgarh-neet-counselling-2026.html # Chhattisgarh NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Application Open, 1,304 Seats Vacant Round 1 is complete: applications ran 9–16 August, choice filling closed 17 August, and admissions followed. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education at Nava Raipur has now issued Order No. 1555, dated 4 September 2026, opening Round 2 online application and institute selection for every seat left vacant after Round 1 — 1,304 seats in total, across MBBS and BDS, government, management and NRI quota. Online application and institute selection: 5–8 September 2026 . Choice filling and locking: 5–9 September 2026 . Round 1-allotted candidates who opted for upgradation must first log in and give consent before they can select an institute for Round 2. Last verified · 5 September 2026 · against cgdme.in (Order No. 1555, dated 4 September 2026) The short version. Round 1 ran its course: application 9–16 August 2026, choice filling to 17 August, and admission followed under Order No. 1368/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026. With Round 1 admission complete, the Commissioner's office issued Order No. 1555/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026, dated 4 September 2026 , opening Round 2 for every seat that stayed vacant — 1,304 seats in total (856 MBBS, 448 BDS), spread across 545 government-quota, 589 management-quota, 161 NRI-quota and 9 minority-quota seats at colleges statewide. Fresh online application and institute selection: 5 September 2026, 11:00 hrs to 8 September 2026, 23:59 hrs . Choice filling and locking: 5 September 2026, 11:00 hrs to 9 September 2026, 23:59 hrs . Every previously registered candidate must select an institute again — Round 1 selections do not carry forward — and Round 1-allotted candidates who filled the upgradation option must log in and give consent before choosing. A candidate who was registered only for government colleges and now wants to add private colleges must first pay the registration-fee difference. As always, an allotted seat not joined, or joined and then surrendered, forfeits the registration/security deposit. ## Round 2 Counselling, 1,304 Seats Open Statewide Breaking · Order No. 1555/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026, dated 4 September 2026 Round 1 is complete; Round 2 is open for every seat left vacant. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Chhattisgarh, has invited fresh online applications from new eligible candidates and institute (re-)selection from already-registered candidates for Round 2 of NEET UG (MBBS & BDS) 2026 counselling, on the vacant seats remaining after Round 1 admission. Online application and institute selection runs 5 September 2026, 11:00 hrs to 8 September 2026, 23:59 hrs , server time. Choice filling and locking runs 5 September 2026, 11:00 hrs to 9 September 2026, 23:59 hrs — the notice's own choice-filling row prints “2025” in the year field, which we read as a clerical slip given the whole notice concerns admission year 2026 and is dated 4 September 2026; confirm the exact year directly on cgdme.in if in doubt. Read RULE-503/30/2025/MED in full before applying, exactly as for Round 1. Six notes govern who can do what. Round 1-allotted candidates who filled the upgradation option must log in to the portal and give consent before they are allowed to select an institute for Round 2 — without that consent, institute selection is not possible. Every previously registered candidate's earlier institute selection is automatically nulled, so re-selecting an institute is mandatory to stay in Round 2; skip it and no seat can be allotted. A candidate previously registered only for government colleges who now wants a private college must pay the difference between the private-college registration amount and what was already deposited, before that private-college selection is allowed. And exactly as before: if a seat is allotted in Round 2 or any later round and admission is not taken, or is taken and then surrendered, the registration/security deposit is forfeited (per Notice No. 1368, point 5, dated 7 August 2026). | # | Process | Schedule (server time) | |---|---|---| | 1 | Online application & institute selection — opens | 5 September 2026, 11:00 hrs | | 2 | Online application & institute selection — closes | 8 September 2026, 23:59 hrs | | 3 | Choice filling & locking — opens | 5 September 2026, 11:00 hrs | | 4 | Choice filling & locking — closes | 9 September 2026, 23:59 hrs | 1,304 seats vacant, by our own count of the official clear-vacancy list dated 4 September 2026: 856 MBBS and 448 BDS seats, across 545 government-quota, 589 management-quota, 161 NRI-quota and 9 minority-quota seats at colleges statewide. The single largest blocks of vacant MBBS seats sit at Raipur Institute of Medical Sciences (171), Abhishek I Mishra Memorial Medical College & Research, Bhilai (160), Shri Shankaracharya Institute of Medical Science, Bhilai (144), Shri Rawatpura Sarkar Institute, Nava Raipur (104), Maa Padmawati Institute, Raipur (100) and Shri Balaji Institute, Mowa Raipur (96). On the BDS side, Maitri College of Dentistry, Durg (80), Rungta College of Dental Sciences, Bhilai (73), New Horizon Dental College, Bilaspur (69), Triveni Institute of Dental Sciences, Bilaspur (64) and Chhattisgarh Dental College, Rajnandgaon (51, including 9 minority-quota) carry the biggest openings.

Call us if you need help reading your Round 1 outcome before you plan Round 2. ## Application Fee by Category — and the Deposit Nobody Reads | Category | Application fee (non-refundable) | |---|---| | Unreserved (UR) and Other Backward Classes (OBC) | ₹1,000 | | Scheduled Tribe (ST) and Scheduled Caste (SC) | ₹500 | | Non-Resident Indian (NRI) | ₹10,000 | The registration amount — the security deposit — is not in the schedule table. The notice points you to a separate table on its own page 2. That is a deliberate structure, not an oversight, and the deposit is the bigger number of the two. Open the full PDF on cgdme.in and read that table before you begin, because the deposit governs what happens if you are allotted a seat and then walk away. ## RULE-503/30/2025/MED Is Not Optional Reading The notice does something most state notifications do not: it tells you to read the governing rules before starting the online application, and it names the three chapters that matter. Those are the Chhattisgarh Medical, Dental and Physiotherapy (Physiotherapy) Graduate Admission Rules, 2025, cited as RULE-503/30/2025/MED, available on cgdme.in. | Chapter flagged | Why it decides your outcome | |---|---| | Reservation (आरक्षण) | Chhattisgarh runs a 32% Scheduled Tribe reservation, well above most states, plus horizontal categories. Where your rank sits in the state merit list depends on which vertical and horizontal buckets you land in, and the rules define nativity conditions for claiming any of them. | | Counselling process (काउंसिलिंग प्रक्रिया) | Defines how many rounds run, how upgradation works, and what a resignation or non-reporting costs you in later rounds. | | Bond (बॉंड) | The compulsory service bond attached to government seats. This is the clause candidates from outside the state most consistently underestimate — the liability survives your MBBS and it is enforceable. | We do not reproduce the bond amounts here because they sit in the 2025 rules rather than in this notice, and a wrong figure on a bond is worse than no figure. Send us your category and we will read the current clause with you. ## Fresh Application Every Round, and One Box You Must Tick Two clauses at the end of the notice change how you should plan the next six weeks. | Clause | What it means in practice | |---|---| | Online application and registration available in every phase of counselling, with a fresh merit list published each phase | Chhattisgarh does not run one registration across all rounds. If you skip the first phase, you can still enter later — but you must apply again each time, and the merit list is rebuilt from the current pool rather than carried forward. | | Only candidates admitted after first-round allotment who filled the upgradation option can be upgraded in the second counselling | Taking admission does not preserve your upgrade rights. Selecting the upgradation option at the time of first-round admission does. Miss that box and your seat is final, whatever your rank would have got you in round two. | | Previously registered unallotted candidates and newly registered candidates are also eligible for the second counselling, by merit | An unallotted first-round candidate is not shut out. Neither is someone entering fresh in round two. Both compete on the round-two merit list. | ## Two Doors Are Open, and One of Them Costs ₹10,000 to Knock Chhattisgarh's 85% state quota runs on nativity and domicile conditions set out in the 2025 Admission Rules. Birth in the state and valid domicile status are the core tests. For a candidate from Assam or elsewhere in the Northeast, that quota is effectively shut. What remains: the 15% All India Quota, which you reach through MCC and not through this notice, and the NRI quota here, which carries a ₹10,000 non-refundable application fee. If you are budgeting, note that the NRI application fee alone is twenty times the SC/ST fee — the state is pricing that route deliberately. Chhattisgarh's window overlaps with MCC Round 1 choice filling, which was later extended under MCC Notice No. 10 to run until 18 August, and with Bihar UGMAC registration closing 14 August. If you are running parallel applications, see the deadline tracker and the MCC 2026 schedule together before you commit any deposits. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Order No. 1555/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026, dated 4 September 2026, opens Round 2 for 1,304 vacant MBBS/BDS seats: 856 MBBS and 448 BDS, spread across 545 government-quota, 589 management-quota, 161 NRI-quota and 9 minority-quota seats. Fresh online application and institute selection runs 5 to 8 September 2026, and choice filling and locking runs 5 to 9 September 2026, both to server time. Every candidate must apply and select institutes again, whether or not you applied in Round 1 — only candidates who took Round 1 admission and specifically selected the upgradation option carry forward automatically. The online application opens on 9 August 2026 at 11:00 hrs server time and closes on 16 August 2026 at 23:59 hrs. Choice filling and locking runs on a slightly longer window: 9 August 2026, 11:00 hrs to 17 August 2026, 23:59 hrs. Order No. 1368/Chhatra/Counselling/Sanchishi/2026, dated 7 August 2026, sets both. Everything is timed to server clock, not your phone. Non-refundable, and it varies by category: ₹1,000 for Unreserved and OBC, ₹500 for SC and ST, and ₹10,000 for the NRI quota. Separately there is a registration or security deposit amount, which the notice places in a table on its second page rather than in the main schedule. Check that table on cgdme.in before you pay anything, because the deposit is the larger number. The Chhattisgarh Medical, Dental and Physiotherapy Graduate Admission Rules, 2025, cited in the notice as RULE-503/30/2025/MED. The notice asks candidates to read them in full before beginning the online application, and it singles out three areas: reservation, the counselling process, and the bond. Those rules are on cgdme.in. The bond clause in particular is the one candidates from outside Chhattisgarh most often miss. Yes. The notice states that online application and registration will be available to candidates in every phase of counselling, and that a fresh merit list will be published for each phase. So Chhattisgarh does not run a single registration covering all rounds the way Bihar does. Treat each round as its own application. Only candidates who were allotted a seat in the first round, took admission, and filled the upgradation option. That last condition is the trap: taking admission is not enough, you have to actively select upgradation at the time. Alongside them, candidates already registered but not allotted, and newly registered candidates, are also eligible for the second counselling, ranked by merit. The 85% state quota is governed by the nativity and domicile conditions in the 2025 Admission Rules, which are restrictive. The NRI quota, with its ₹10,000 application fee, is open on different terms. For a non-domicile candidate the realistic Chhattisgarh routes are the All India Quota through MCC and the NRI quota here. Read the reservation chapter of RULE-503/30/2025/MED before assuming you qualify for anything else. Yes, and Round 1 is now fully complete. CG DME published the Round 1 Merit List and, separately, the Round 1 List of Eligible Candidates for NRI Quota on cgdme.in, seat allotment followed under the revised 22 August 2026 procedure notice, and admitted candidates have taken their seats. Those admissions produced the 1,304-seat Round 2 clear-vacancy list now open under Order No. 1555, dated 4 September 2026, with application running 5 to 8 September and choice-locking to 9 September. If you were not allotted in Round 1, or are registering fresh, Round 2 is open to you now. ## Chhattisgarh Put the Bond Rules in a Separate Document. We'll Read Them With You Before You Pay. Reservation, counselling process and bond all sit in RULE-503/30/2025/MED rather than in the notice you just read. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and domicile position and we'll tell you which Chhattisgarh route is actually open to you. --- # MP NEET UG Counselling 2026 — Round 2 Schedule Out Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/madhya-pradesh-neet-counselling-2026.html # MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling 2026 — Second Round Schedule Out Round 1 admission — reporting, resignation and the compulsory upgradation option — ran through 3 September 2026. The same day, the Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the Second Round schedule : fresh online registration and an edit facility run 5–6 September, the revised merit list and vacancy position publish 7 September, fresh choice filling and locking runs 7–9 September, the Second Round allotment result is due 11 September , and reporting, the MOP-UP-round upgradation option and online resignation all run 12–18 September 2026. Every date, reproduced exactly, plus who this round actually applies to. Last verified · 3 September 2026 · against the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal’s own Second Round notice, dated 3 September 2026 The short version. Round 1 of MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS) ran registration 5–13 August, the allotment result 24 August, and reporting/resignation/upgradation through 3 September 2026. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, has now issued the Second Round schedule , dated 3 September 2026 : fresh online registration for new candidates, plus an edit facility for already-registered candidates (except those admitted in Round 1), runs 5–6 September ; physical and virtual vacancy publishes 7 September , alongside the revised merit list ; fresh choice filling and locking for Second Round — compulsory for every candidate who wants to participate, including Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for upgradation — runs 7–9 September ; the Second Round allotment result is due 11 September ; and reporting at the allotted college, the MOP-UP-round upgradation option, and online resignation/cancellation all run 12–18 September 2026 . This round is for the state quota; the 15% All India Quota is handled separately by MCC. ## Second Round Counselling, Registration to Reporting Breaking · Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, notice dated 3 September 2026 Round 1 admission is complete; the Second Round schedule is out. With Round 1 reporting, resignation and the upgradation option having closed 3 September 2026, the Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the Second Round MBBS & BDS Counselling schedule the same day. Fresh online registration for new candidates, plus an edit facility for candidates already registered (except those admitted through Round 1), opens 5 September and closes 6 September 2026 at 11:59 PM. The physical and virtual vacancy position, alongside the Revised Merit List and Eligible Candidates list for Second Round , publishes 7 September . Fresh choice filling and choice locking for Second Round then runs 7 to 9 September , up to 11:59 PM — and the notice is explicit that this step is compulsory for every candidate who wants to participate in the Second Round , including Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for up-gradation. The Second Round Allotment Result is due 11 September 2026 . Reporting at the allotted Medical/Dental college in person, for document verification and admission, then runs 12 to 18 September , up to 6:00 PM. The same 12–18 September window covers two more compulsory steps: willingness for upgradation for the MOP-UP round (for admitted Second Round candidates, and Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for upgradation but could not upgrade in Round 2), up to 11:59 PM; and online resignation/cancellation of admission at college level , up to 5:00 PM. | S.No. | Event | Duration | |---|---|---| | 1 | Online registration for fresh candidates; edit facility for already-registered candidates (except Round 1-admitted) | 05–06 September 2026 , up to 11:59 PM | | 2 | Publication of physical and virtual vacancy | 07 September 2026 | | 3 | Publication of Revised Merit List and Eligible Candidates list for Second Round | 07 September 2026 | | 4 | Fresh choice filling & choice locking for Second Round (compulsory for all candidates who want to participate, including admitted Round 1 candidates who opted for up-gradation) | 07–09 September 2026 , up to 11:59 PM | | 5 | Second Round Allotment Result | 11 September 2026 | | 6 | Reporting at allotted Medical/Dental college in person, for document verification and admission | 12–18 September 2026 , up to 6:00 PM | | 7 | Willingness for upgradation for MOP-UP round, by admitted Second Round candidates and Round 1-admitted candidates who opted but could not upgrade in Round 2 | 12–18 September 2026 , up to 11:59 PM | | 8 | Online resignation/cancellation of admission at college level | 12–18 September 2026 , up to 5:00 PM | Read the notice's own notes carefully — two of them carry real financial and eligibility consequences. Exercising the upgradation option (Yes/No) is mandatory for every candidate at the time of admission at college level; you can still edit that choice at your candidate login until 18 September 2026, up to 11:59 PM. If you opted for upgradation in the Second Round but then fail to lock your fresh choices, you remain admitted at your Round 1 college and lose eligibility to opt for upgrade in the MOP-UP round. And resigning between 12 and 18 September 2026 costs ₹2 lakh for non-NRI candidates and ₹10 lakh for NRI candidates — and a candidate who resigns in this window is not eligible for any subsequent round of counselling. On our sourcing. This section is drawn directly from the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal's own Second Round tentative time schedule, dated 3 September 2026, signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. Confirm your own status on dme.mponline.gov.in before acting on any date here. ## First Round, MBBS & BDS — All Ten Steps Steps 1–6 as printed in the Commissioner's original notice, dated 3 August 2026; steps 7–10 as revised by a further notice dated 20 August 2026 . Step 7, the Round 1 result, was released as scheduled on 24 August 2026 ; steps 8–10 — reporting, resignation and upgradation — are open now, through 3 September. The Commissioner's office calls this “tentative,” so always confirm your own candidate status directly on the portal. | S.No. | Event | Duration | Days | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | Online registration by eligible qualified NEET UG 2026 candidates, at dme.mponline.gov.in | 5 – 13 August 2026 , up to 11:59 PM | 9 | | 2 | Publication of vacancies | 11 August 2026 | 1 | | 3 | Invitation of objections against the published vacancies | 12 August 2026 , up to 5:00 PM | 1 | | 4 | Disposal of objections and publication of final vacancies | 13 August 2026 | 1 | | 5 | Publication of the state merit list of registered candidates | 14 August 2026 | — | | 6 | Choice filling and locking, by MP domicile registered candidates | 15 – 18 August 2026 , up to 11:59 PM | 4 | | 7 | Allotment result of Round 1 — released as revised Was 20 August · released 24 August as scheduled | 24 August 2026 | 1 | | 8 | Reporting at the allotted medical or dental college — revised, now open In person, for document verification and admission · was 21–27 August | 25 August – 3 September 2026 , up to 6:00 PM | 10 | | 9 | Online resignation or cancellation of admission — revised, now open At college level · was 21–27 August | 25 August – 3 September 2026 , up to 7:00 PM | | | 10 | Exercising the upgradation option for Round 2 — revised, now open At the time of admission, compulsory · was 21–27 August | 25 August – 3 September 2026 , up to 11:55 PM | | The Round 1 result is out and reporting is open. The allotment result was released as scheduled on 24 August 2026, and the reporting/resignation/upgradation window is now running. Do not skip step 10. The notice is explicit: every candidate must exercise the upgradation option, Yes or No, at the time of admission at the college. Your admission slip is only generated after you do this — not before. You can still change your answer through your own candidate login until 3 September, 11:55 PM (was 27 August), but arriving at the college counter without having thought about Yes or No stalls your own paperwork, not the college's. ## This Round Is for MP Domicile Candidates Look closely at step 6. Registration in step 1 is open to any eligible, qualified NEET UG 2026 candidate. But choice filling and locking — the step that actually decides which college you get — is explicitly restricted to “MP Domicile registered candidates.” That single line tells you what this schedule is really for. It matches how Madhya Pradesh counselling works overall. The Directorate of Medical Education runs the state quota — roughly 85% of seats in government medical and dental colleges — strictly for MP domicile holders, and it also handles the state-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in the state's private colleges through the same dme.mponline.gov.in portal. The remaining 15% of government college seats are the All India Quota, counselled separately by MCC, open to any candidate regardless of home state. The honest read for a Northeast India family. If you do not hold Madhya Pradesh domicile, this Round 1 timeline is useful background, not your own action list. Register for MCC's 15% All India Quota in parallel — MCC Round 1 dates → — and if a specific MP private college's management or NRI quota interests you, confirm its exact eligibility with that college directly before assuming it is open to you. ## GS Quota Has Its Own Document Trail — Get It Right at Verification A separate notice from the Office of the Commissioner, Public Health and Medical Education, Bhopal, dated 6 August 2026, spells out exactly what a GS (Government School) Quota candidate has to produce at Original Document Verification, once a seat is actually allotted. It is narrow, specific, and easy to get wrong if you only find out about it after your allotment letter arrives. If you studied in a Madhya Pradesh Government school the whole way through — Class 6 to Class 12. At verification, you must submit certificates for every one of those classes, Class 6 through Class 12, issued by the authorised officer in the prescribed Proforma-10 format, together with your original mark sheets for each class. If a mark sheet for any one class genuinely isn't available, the notice allows a substitute: a certificate from the Principal of that Government school confirming you studied there in that class. If you studied in a private school under the Right to Education Act, Class 1 to Class 8. You need two separate things, not one. First, a certificate from the private school's Principal proving your admission and study there was under the RTE Act. Second, for Class 9 through Class 12 — presumably back in a Government school — the same Proforma-10 certificates and original mark sheets required of any GS Quota candidate, issued by the authorised officer. Neither path is something you assemble in a weekend once your allotment letter is in hand. Proforma-10 certificates come from an authorised officer, not your school directly, and a missing mark sheet substitute still needs the Principal's own certificate. If GS Quota is your route into this counselling, start gathering these now, not after Round 1 results. Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh. “Tentative Time Schedule, MP State Combined NEET UG Counselling (MBBS/BDS Course)-2026, First Round MBBS & BDS Course.” Dated 03-08-2026, signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. A further revision dated 20 August 2026 moved the Round 1 result to 24 August and the reporting/resignation/upgradation window to 25 August–3 September; multiple education-news outlets tracking the dme.mponline.gov.in portal reported the Round 1 result was in fact released on 24 August 2026 as revised. A separate notice, “Tentative Time Schedule … Second Round MBBS & BDS Course,” dated 03-09-2026 and signed by the Director, Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh, sets out the Second Round in full: fresh registration/edit facility 5–6 September, vacancy and revised merit list 7 September, choice filling/locking 7–9 September, allotment result 11 September, and reporting, MOP-UP upgradation option and resignation all 12–18 September 2026, with resignation in that window carrying a ₹2 lakh (non-NRI) or ₹10 lakh (NRI) penalty and forfeiture of later rounds.

We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued the Second Round schedule on 3 September 2026, right after Round 1 admission closed the same day. Fresh online registration for new candidates, with an edit facility for already-registered candidates except those admitted in Round 1, runs 5\u201306 September. Physical and virtual vacancy, plus the Revised Merit List and Eligible Candidates list for Second Round, publish 7 September. Fresh choice filling and choice locking for Second Round \u2014 compulsory for every candidate who wants to participate, including Round 1-admitted candidates who opted for up-gradation \u2014 runs 7\u20139 September. The Second Round Allotment Result is due 11 September 2026. Reporting at the allotted college for document verification and admission, the MOP-UP-round upgradation option, and online resignation/cancellation all run 12\u201318 September 2026. A candidate who resigns in that window pays a penalty of Rs 2 lakh (non-NRI) or Rs 10 lakh (NRI) and is not eligible for any subsequent round. The Office of the Commissioner, Medical Education, Bhopal, issued a tentative Round 1 timetable on 3 August 2026, then revised it on 20 August 2026. Online registration ran 5 to 13 August, the state merit list published 14 August, and choice filling and locking by MP domicile candidates ran 15 to 18 August — none of that changed. What changed: the Round 1 allotment result, originally due 20 August, moved to 24 August 2026 and was released on that date as scheduled. Reporting, resignation and the upgradation option, originally 21 to 27 August, are now open, running 25 August to 3 September 2026 . The Round 1 allotment result moved from 20 to 24 August 2026 — four days later — and was released on that date as revised. The reporting, online resignation/cancellation, and compulsory upgradation-option window, previously a single 21–27 August block, now runs 25 August to 3 September 2026, nearly ten days instead of seven, and is currently open. Registration, the merit list and choice filling and locking, all completed before 19 August, were not touched by this revision. The notice does not give a reason for the delay. At dme.mponline.gov.in, the official portal of the Directorate of Medical Education, Madhya Pradesh. Registration for eligible, qualified NEET UG 2026 candidates opened on 5 August and closes on 13 August 2026, up to 11:59 PM. This is the only channel the Commissioner's notice names — no other website or agent can register you. When you report to your allotted college between 25 August and 3 September 2026 (revised from 21–27 August, and now open following the 24 August result), you must actively choose Yes or No on upgradation to Round 2 — the notice states this is compulsory for every candidate. Your admission slip will not even generate until you exercise that option. You can still edit your choice through your candidate login until 3 September, 11:55 PM , but skipping the step entirely stalls your own admission paperwork at the college counter. The notice specifically labels the choice-filling and locking step as being for “MP Domicile registered candidates,” which matches how Madhya Pradesh counselling works generally: the state runs 85% of government-college seats as a state quota restricted to MP domicile holders, plus the state-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in private colleges through the same DME process. The remaining 15% of government-college seats are the All India Quota, filled separately by MCC with no domicile requirement at all. Not through the state-quota round this schedule describes — that is reserved for MP domicile holders. Two doors stay open regardless of home state: the 15% All India Quota through MCC, and, in some cases, private-college management or NRI quota seats, which you should confirm college by college rather than assume. If your NEET UG 2026 score is strong, register for MCC in parallel and treat this DME timeline as background information rather than your own action list, unless you hold MP domicile. Per a notice from the Commissioner, Public Health and Medical Education, Bhopal, dated 6 August 2026: candidates who studied at a Madhya Pradesh Government school throughout Class 6 to Class 12 must submit Proforma-10 certificates for each of those classes, issued by an authorised officer, along with original mark sheets — a missing mark sheet can be substituted with a certificate from that school's Principal. Candidates who studied in a private school under the Right to Education Act from Class 1 to Class 8 need an RTE certificate from that school's Principal, plus the same Proforma-10 certificates and mark sheets for Class 9 to Class 12. ## MP Domicile or Not, We'll Tell You What Actually Applies to You. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and home state. If Madhya Pradesh genuinely fits your options, we will say so. If MCC or another state is the better use of your fortnight, we will say that instead. --- # UP NEET UG 2026 — Choice Filling Open, Allotment 7 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/uttar-pradesh-neet-counselling-2026.html # Uttar Pradesh NEET UG 2026 — Choice Filling Open, Allotment Result Due 7 September DGME UP has now published the full Round 1 sequence through to admission. A merit-list notice (No. ME-3/2026/1590) reopened registration to 2 September; a second notice the same day (No. ME-3/2026/1605) sets out what happens next — online choice filling from 2 September, 5:00 PM to 5 September, 5:00 PM , the seat allotment result on 7 September , and allotment-letter download plus admission from 8 to 14 September 2026 . The same 1 September notification also adds a new reservation category: a 1% horizontal reservation for NCC cadets with at least a 'B' or 'C' grading certificate. See below for the full schedule, plus an honest answer to the question we get asked constantly — what does a mid-300s NEET score actually get you in Uttar Pradesh? Last verified · 7 September 2026 · against official counselling portals and DGME's Round 1 reporting guide The short version — the whole Round 1 sequence is now dated, end to end. DGME UP, Lucknow, issued a further Extended Time Schedule (Notice No. ME-3/2026/1590, dated 1 September 2026): online registration and document upload ran 1 September 2026 (from 5:00 PM) to 2 September 2026 (till 2:00 PM) , with the fee and security money deposit window open an hour longer, and the state merit list due out on 2 September 2026 . A second notice the same day (No. ME-3/2026/1605) then set the rest of Round 1: online choice filling from 2 September 2026 (5:00 PM) to 5 September 2026 (5:00 PM) , the seat allotment result declared on 7 September 2026 , and downloading allotment letters plus completing admission from 8 to 14 September 2026 . A separate Government Order dated 1 September 2026 (No. 1448377/2026/71-4099/1011/2022) also adds a new horizontal reservation: NCC cadets with at least a 'B' or 'C' grading certificate now get 1% reservation . This round covers State Quota seats for MBBS and BDS in Government and Private Medical/Dental Colleges and Universities across UP, in continuation of MCC's national counselling timetable.

DGME UP's original schedule (Notice ME-3/2026/1492, 6 August) ran 7–12 August; that was extended once to 13–14 August (Notice ME-3/2026/1517, 12 August); and it has now been extended a second time, to 1–2 September, under Notice ME-3/2026/1590, dated 1 September 2026. Registration and document upload closed at 2:00 PM on 2 September, while the fee and security money window stayed open an hour longer, until 3:00 PM the same day. The state merit list is due out on 2 September itself — the same day registration closes. A second notice dated 1 September 2026 (No. ME-3/2026/1605) then set the rest of Round 1 in one go: choice filling runs 2 to 5 September , the seat allotment result is due 7 September , and allotment-letter download plus admission runs 8 to 14 September . The 1 September notification also adds a new horizontal reservation: NCC cadets holding at least a 'B' or 'C' grading certificate get 1% reservation, under Government Order No. 1448377/2026/71-4099/1011/2022.

Round 1 allotted candidates — what reporting actually involves. The Directorate's own bilingual reporting guide, released for this window (8–14 September), spells out two separate paths. If you are allotted a government medical college , report directly to that college, where document verification, medical examination and the rest of admission happen on the spot. If you are allotted a private medical college , report instead to the nodal centre named on your own allotment letter — not the college itself — where the same verification and examination take place. Carry the original plus one self-signed photocopy set of: NEET scorecard, NEET admit card, 10th and 12th marksheet/certificate, category/sub-category certificate (if applicable), domicile certificate, Aadhaar/PAN and other required documents, and the required number of photographs. Private-college candidates additionally need a bank demand draft, in favour of Director General Medical Education & Training, Lucknow , payable at Lucknow, for the tuition fee shown for their allotted college (check the fee upload on upneet.gov.in first) — DDs can be split across more than one instrument, drawn from any bank account, provided the total matches the notified annual fee exactly, and each DD must carry the candidate's name and NEET roll number written on the back before it's submitted. Get a signed reporting slip before you leave, and check it. The guide is explicit: if you do not receive a reporting slip signed by the Nodal Officer, your admission has not actually been confirmed, whatever else you were told at the counter. ## Choice-Lock Rules, Read Before You Fill Choices Important · DGME UP Notice No. ME-3/UG-2026/1610, dated 3 September 2026 Before you fill a single choice, read this. DGME UP has issued a dedicated instructions notice for Round 1 choice-filling and admission. In plain terms: only candidates already declared successful in NEET UG 2026, with security money deposited and documents verified, are eligible to fill choices at all. Fill choices strictly in your own order of priority, and only for colleges you genuinely wish to join — treat every choice as one you would actually accept. Choice-lock after online choice-filling is mandatory ; skip it and you are automatically dropped out of the allotment process. Once locked, no correction or change to your choices is permitted , and the Directorate states plainly it will not entertain any application asking for one. Where you report for admission depends on which sector you're allotted. A government-college seat means admission is completed at that allotted college itself. A private-college seat means admission is completed only at a government-appointed nodal centre — the nodal centre list is published in the UP NEET UG-2026 brochure, not this notice. If you're allotted a private college, carry a CTS bank draft for the government/minority-institution-notified tuition fee, made out to “Director General, Medical Education & Training, U.P.” payable at Lucknow , and submit it at your designated nodal centre at the time of admission — the notice is direct that admission is automatically treated as cancelled if you don't. Tuition fee figures for minority and non-minority private colleges are on upneet.gov.in and dgme.up.gov.in; UP NEET UG-2026 Government Order No. I/1448377/2026 (1 September 2026) and the full brochure are on the same two sites, and DGME asks candidates to keep checking them for updates. ## A 340-ish Score — What Does Uttar Pradesh Actually Offer? Let's be direct about state quota first: a score around 340 is not going to be competitive for a UP government MBBS seat. Government college closing scores in UP typically run far higher, and no honest consultant should tell you otherwise. Private colleges are a different conversation entirely, and this is where Uttar Pradesh's sheer scale changes the picture. UP has one of the largest concentrations of private medical colleges anywhere in India. For management quota seats at these colleges, what matters most is that you hold a genuinely qualifying NEET UG score — not a high-ranking one. This is no longer a rough estimate on our part either: on 1 September 2026, the U.P. Medical Education Department (चिकित्सा शिक्षा अनुभाग-4) individually fixed AY 2026-27 tuition for 35 private colleges by Government Order, so we can now name an actual floor. Our current minimum verified MBBS package in Uttar Pradesh sits at Hind Institute of Medical Sciences, Sitapur — ₹13.6 lakh a year in government-notified tuition, roughly ₹61-62 lakh across the full 4.5-year course , excluding hostel, mess and the refundable security deposit. Most of the 41 U.P. colleges we track for management quota land somewhere between that floor and about ₹75 lakh tuition-only across the course; a smaller number of higher-fee colleges run to ₹85-90 lakh or beyond. In our own experience guiding students through exactly this situation, a NEET UG 2026 score in the 340s has repeatedly been enough to secure an MBBS seat in Uttar Pradesh through management quota, generally at or near that lower end of the range. Read the ₹61-62 lakh floor as a genuine minimum, not a typical price. It is the least expensive government-notified college on our table today, not an average across all 41 — most families guided through this route end up somewhere between ₹65 lakh and ₹75 lakh tuition-only, depending on which colleges still have management-quota seats open when they register. Hostel, mess and living costs sit outside every one of these figures and need their own budget line; the same Government Orders that fixed tuition also confirm hostel fee, security deposit and miscellaneous charges stay at each college's 2025-26 rate. This is what our guidance service is actually for: matching a genuinely qualifying score to the right college inside your real budget, not the first seat offered to you at whatever price a middleman names. The reason UP comes up this often in our conversations with Northeast India families isn't chance. More private colleges means more seats genuinely on the table in any given year, which means more room to actually compare colleges on faculty, hospital attachment, and fee structure — rather than taking the first offer because it's the only one available. That is also exactly where OEF's guidance work earns its keep: we track the government-notified fee for every college on this list, flag which of them still have management-quota seats open for a 340-plus score, and walk your family through document verification and admission formalities directly with the college — not through an agent asking for anything above the notified fee.

Office of the Director General, Medical Education & Training, Uttar Pradesh, 2nd Floor, Kisan Bazar, Vibhuti Khand, Gomti Nagar, Lucknow. No. ME-3/2026/1590, dated 1 September 2026: “Extended Time Schedule of First Round of Online Counseling Registration for UP NEET UG-2026,” issued in continuation of the Medical Counselling Committee's national timetable, and superseding the previous Extended Time Schedule (No. ME-3/2026/1517, dated 12 August 2026, which had itself revised the original No. ME-3/2026/1492 of 6 August 2026). A companion notice, No. ME-3/2026/1605, also dated 1 September 2026, sets out the “Time Schedule for the Choice Filling and Admission Process for the First Round under UP NEET UG-2026”: online choice filling from 2 September (5:00 PM) to 5 September (5:00 PM), declaration of the seat allotment result on 7 September, and downloading allotment letters plus the admission process from 8 to 14 September 2026. A further notice, No. ME-3/UG-2026/1610, dated 3 September 2026 (in Hindi, “Important Information/Instructions for the Choice-Filling and Admission Process for the First Round of UP NEET UG-2026”), lays down 10 binding rules: only successful, security-deposited and document-verified candidates may fill choices; choice-lock after filling is mandatory, with no correction permitted afterward; government-college admission happens at the allotted college, private-college admission only at a government-appointed nodal centre; and private-college candidates must submit a CTS bank draft for the notified tuition fee, in favour of the Director General, Medical Education & Training, U.P., payable at Lucknow, at the nodal centre — failing which admission is automatically cancelled. Separately, UP Government Order No. 1448377/2026/71-4099/1011/2022, dated 1 September 2026, adds a new horizontal reservation category under point 6, sub-point (b), serial no. 4: NCC cadets holding at least a ‘B’ or ‘C’ grading certificate get 1% reservation. Verify every date and eligibility detail at upneet.gov.in or dgme.up.gov.in before you register or pay any fee. Separately, the ₹13.6 lakh/year minimum tuition figure and the ₹61-90 lakh course-fee range on this page draw on the U.P. Medical Education Department's own Government Orders No. 175-209/71-4099/89/2026, dated 1 September 2026, for 35 of the 41 colleges on our table — an official notification, not our estimate, for those colleges. The remaining colleges on the table (and the 4.5-year multiplier, hostel/mess figures and typical-range framing) still reflect our own guidance drawn from cases we have personally handled — confirm exact, current fees directly with any specific college before committing. How to use this page. The registration and merit-list dates here are taken from DGME UP's own Extended Time Schedule (Notice No. ME-3/2026/1590, dated 1 September 2026), checked against the official counselling authority's website on 1 September 2026. Choice filling, choice locking, and the Round 1 seat allotment result have not been separately notified as of this check — where this page mentions those stages, it says so explicitly rather than presenting a guess as confirmed. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current status on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us DGME UP's Notice No. ME-3/UG-2026/1610, dated 3 September 2026, sets out the rules directly. Choice-lock after online choice-filling is mandatory — skip it and you are automatically excluded from the allotment process — and once locked, no correction or change to your choices is permitted; the Directorate will not entertain any request to change a locked choice. Where you go for admission depends on the sector you're allotted: a government-college seat means admission is completed at that allotted college itself, while a private-college seat means admission is completed only at a government-appointed nodal centre, listed in the UP NEET UG-2026 brochure. Private-college candidates must also carry a CTS bank draft for the notified tuition fee, made out to “Director General, Medical Education & Training, U.P.” payable at Lucknow, and submit it at the nodal centre at admission — failing to do so means the notice treats your admission as automatically cancelled. Under a further Extended Time Schedule (Notice No. ME-3/2026/1590, dated 1 September 2026), DGME UP has set new dates for the first round of state quota counselling. Online registration and document upload run from 1 September 2026 at 5:00 PM to 2 September 2026 at 2:00 PM. Registration fee and security money deposit run the same 1 to 2 September window, open an hour longer, until 3:00 PM on 2 September. The state merit list is due to be declared on 2 September 2026 itself, the same day registration closes. This is the Directorate General of Medical Education and Training, UP's own state quota round, issued in continuation of MCC's national counselling timetable. The same 1 September notification also adds a new horizontal reservation category: NCC cadets holding at least a 'B' or 'C' grading certificate now get 1% reservation, under UP Government Order No. 1448377/2026/71-4099/1011/2022. Through state quota government colleges, a score around 340 is unlikely to be competitive — UP's government MBBS closing scores typically run well above that. But UP has one of India's largest concentrations of private medical colleges, and through management quota at those colleges, a genuinely qualifying NEET score is often what actually matters, not a high one. The tuition side of that equation got a lot more precise on 1 September 2026: the U.P. Medical Education Department fixed AY 2026-27 tuition fees by individual Government Order for 35 private colleges, and on that officially notified data our current minimum verified package is built around Hind Institute of Medical Sciences, Sitapur, at ₹13.6 lakh a year — roughly ₹61-62 lakh in tuition across the 4.5-year course. Most of the colleges we track land closer to ₹65-75 lakh tuition-only across the course, and a handful go higher still. Hostel, mess and the refundable security deposit sit outside those figures and stay at each college's 2025-26 rate under the same Government Orders. In our experience guiding students through this exact situation, a score in the 340s has repeatedly been enough to secure an MBBS seat in Uttar Pradesh through the management quota route at or near that lower end — treat the range as a starting point for a conversation, not a fixed number to plan a budget around blind. The notice itself covers only the schedule — registration and document upload from 1 September (5:00 PM) to 2 September (2:00 PM), and fee plus security money deposit from 1 September (5:00 PM) to 2 September (3:00 PM). For the exact registration fee amount, security money figure, and full document checklist, DGME UP directs candidates to upneet.gov.in and www.dgme.up.gov.in, where the complete counselling brochure is published separately from this schedule notice. The schedule notice itself doesn't spell out the residential eligibility clause — that detail sits in the full counselling brochure on the official portals, not this time-schedule notice. What is clear either way: the 15% All India Quota through MCC remains open to any candidate regardless of home state, and UP's very large private medical college sector runs management quota admissions that are typically far less domicile-restrictive than the state quota itself. Scale, mostly. Uttar Pradesh has one of the largest numbers of private medical colleges of any state in India, which means more seats genuinely available through management quota in any given year compared to states with only a handful of private colleges. More available seats means real room to negotiate for a family, on fees and on college choice — it's a large part of why we point Northeast India families here so often when a government seat isn't realistically on the table this year. Not yet, but the full date is now known. The Extended Time Schedule (Notice ME-3/2026/1590) had the state merit list released on 2 September 2026. A companion notice the same day (No. ME-3/2026/1605) then set the rest of Round 1: online choice filling runs from 2 September (5:00 PM) to 5 September (5:00 PM), the seat allotment result is due on 7 September 2026, and downloading allotment letters plus completing admission runs 8 to 14 September 2026. Check upneet.gov.in and dgme.up.gov.in directly for your own result once it's out. We update this page as soon as we can verify the next official notice. ## Score in the 300s? Let's Talk About What UP Actually Offers. We've guided students with scores just like yours into real MBBS seats in Uttar Pradesh. Tell us your NEET UG 2026 score and we'll tell you honestly what's realistic — government, management quota, or somewhere else entirely. --- # Punjab MBBS & BDS 2026 — BFUHS Round 2 Draft Schedule Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/punjab-neet-counselling-2026.html # Punjab MBBS and BDS Admission 2026 — Round 2 Draft Schedule Is Out Round 1 admission is complete — provisional allotment on 27 August, revised allotment on 29 August, and physical reporting through 5 September 2026. The Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot, has now issued a draft schedule for the Second Round of Online Counselling , dated 3 September 2026, “prepared for kind perusal and approval” and explicitly labelled a draft .

This is the strongest evidence yet that the draft is running as written, though we have not independently located a separate notice formally confirming the whole draft as final — treat the schedule above as live rather than merely proposed, but confirm on bfuhs.ac.in before relying on a specific date. On our sourcing. This began as a draft schedule, in BFUHS's own words — prepared for perusal and approval. Objections at both the merit-list stage and the seat-allotment stage must be made in person at the Admission Branch, Faridkot; the provisional-result objection notice is explicit that submissions by email are not entertained. Confirm the schedule status on bfuhs.ac.in before you rely on any date here. ## Every Date From the BFUHS Notification | Sr. | Event | Schedule | |---|---|---| | 1 | Prospectus available on bfuhs.ac.in; online application forms open | 5 August 2026 | | 2 | Last date to submit the online admission application | 10 August 2026, up to 5:00 PM | | 3 | Last date for corrections in the submitted form; form auto-locks after this, no further changes permitted | 11 August 2026, up to 5:00 PM | | 4 | Sports category: two printed copies of the form, Sports Gradation Certificate and self-attested documents, submitted in person at the Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot (Clause 15(v)) | 11 August 2026, up to 5:00 PM | | 5 | Provisional merit list, followed by in-person objections and the revised merit list, per BFUHS's published schedule | 13 – 15 August 2026 | | 6 | Round 1 online counselling — submission of choices/preferences , originally 16–19 August per BFUHS's schedule, then extended by Public Notice dated 19 August 2026 | Closed 23 August 2026, 5:00 PM | | 7 | Display of the provisional seat allotment result | 27 August 2026 | | 8 | Last date for submission of objections to the provisional allotment — in person only, at the Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot, with supporting documents; objections by email or any other electronic mode are not entertained | 28 August 2026 | | 9 | Display of the revised provisional seat allotment, if any, after disposal of objections | 29 August 2026 | | 10 | Physical reporting by provisionally allotted candidates to the respective colleges for document verification, medical examination (where applicable), completion of admission formalities, and payment of six months' tuition fee through the University Online Payment Gateway | 30 August – 5 September 2026 | The full revised schedule is now out. The 19 August Public Notice had extended only the choice-filling deadline, to 23 August 2026, 5:00 PM. A dated “Revised Schedule for First Round of Online Counselling” issued by the Admission Branch on 25 August 2026 now sets out every remaining step: provisional seat allotment on 27 August (was 22 August under the original, pre-extension timetable), objections by 28 August (in person only, at the Admission Branch, Faridkot — email objections are explicitly not accepted), the revised allotment on 29 August, and physical reporting for document verification, medical examination and fee payment from 30 August to 5 September 2026 (originally 25–28 August). No Round 2 dates have been announced yet. The fee deadline sat separately from the correction deadline. The application fee had to be deposited online by 3:00 PM on 11 August 2026 — two hours before the correction window itself closed at 5:00 PM the same day. That, the correction window, and Round 1 choice filling (closed 23 August) are all behind us; the seat allotment result is due 27 August 2026 per the university's own Revised Schedule. ## What It Costs to Apply Deposited online through the university payment gateway only. No other mode is accepted. | Category | Fee | |---|---| | General & Other Categories | ₹5,000 + 18% GST = ₹5,900 | | Scheduled Caste (SC) | ₹2,500 + 18% GST = ₹2,950 | PwBD candidates: a valid UDID Card or Disability Certificate is required, issued under the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and meeting NMC's prescribed norms. This is stated directly in the notification — carry it, do not assume a doctor's letter will substitute for it. ## 85% State, 15% All India — and Punjab Is a Closed State BFUHS Faridkot runs the state-quota counselling for 85% of MBBS and BDS seats in Punjab's government colleges, and it also handles the government-quota, management-quota and NRI-quota seats in the state's private medical and dental colleges. The remaining 15% of government college seats go through MCC as the All India Quota, on rank alone, with no domicile requirement. Punjab is generally treated as a closed state for its own quota — state-quota seats, and typically the government and management shares in private colleges too, are reserved for candidates with Punjab domicile. A handful of minority-status institutions in the state may work differently under separate minority-admission provisions, but that is college-specific and worth confirming directly rather than assuming it applies to you. The honest read for a Northeast India candidate. Without Punjab domicile, the 15% All India Quota through MCC is the reliable door into a Punjab government college. If you are chasing a private-college seat outside the domicile-restricted quotas, verify directly with that specific college before spending on the BFUHS application — do not assume every private seat in the state is open the way it is in, say, Puducherry or Gujarat's NRI stream. MCC schedule and Round 1 dates → ## Documents to Keep on Hand ## Where to Verify Everything Baba Farid University of Health Sciences, Faridkot (Admission Branch). “Important Dates — Schedule for Admission to MBBS/BDS Courses, Session 2026,” published on the university's admission portal (admission.bfuhsonline.ac.in), listing the prospectus/application window from 5 August, the merit list on 13–15 August, and Round 1 online choice filling originally set for 16–19 August 2026, 5:00 PM. A “Public Notice” dated 19 August 2026, signed by the Registrar, extended that Round 1 choice-filling deadline to 23.08.2026 (5:00 PM). A further “Revised Schedule for First Round of Online Counselling under NEET UG-2026 for Admission to MBBS/BDS Course,” dated 25 August 2026 and signed by the Registrar, set the provisional seat allotment result for 27.08.2026, the objection window (in-person only) to 28.08.2026, the revised allotment for 29.08.2026, and physical reporting from 30.08.2026 to 05.09.2026 — Round 1 ran its full course on these dates. A subsequent notice, “Draft Schedule for Second Round of Online Counselling for Admission to MBBS/BDS Courses under NEET-UG 2026, Session 2026,” dated 3 September 2026, sets out the 14-step Round 2 timetable in the table above, expressly “prepared for kind perusal and approval” — a draft, not yet stated as final. Application fee schedule, PwBD documentation requirement citing the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and Sports category submission procedure under Clause 15(v), as printed in the original Round 1 notification, remain unchanged. Verify every date, and whether the Round 2 draft has been finalised, on bfuhs.ac.in before you pay any fee — university schedules can shift with short notice. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own published schedule and notices, most recently the draft Second Round schedule dated 3 September 2026 (still awaiting BFUHS's own final approval as of this check) and, for Round 1, the Revised Schedule dated 25 August 2026, which ran its full course. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us The Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot, issued a draft Second Round schedule on 3 September 2026, submitted for its own approval, so treat the dates as provisional. Fresh application/registration and giving willingness to participate in Round 2 both start 3 September, closing 5 and 7 September respectively. The provisional merit list publishes 8 September, with in-person-only objections due by 9 September, 3:00 PM, and a revised merit list the same day. Online choice filling runs 8 to 10 September. Seat allotment is processed 11 to 12 September, and the provisional seat allotment result publishes 12 September. Objections to that result, again in person only, are due by 14 September, 4:00 PM, with the revised result out 15 September. Provisionally selected candidates then pay the balance fee and report to their allotted college between 16 and 18 September 2026. NRI category candidates must separately submit a physical NRI Quota application by 7 and 8 September, and Sports category candidates submit their documents in person only on 7 September. The prospectus went live and online applications opened on 5 August 2026 at bfuhs.ac.in. The application closed 10 August 2026 at 5:00 PM, and a correction window ran to 11 August 2026, 5:00 PM. BFUHS's own published schedule then ran the provisional and revised merit lists on 13 and 15 August, and Round 1 online choice filling from 16 to 19 August 2026, 5:00 PM. A Public Notice dated 19 August 2026 extended that choice-filling deadline to 23 August 2026, 5:00 PM. A further Revised Schedule dated 25 August 2026 now sets the provisional seat allotment result for 27 August 2026, an in-person-only objection window to 28 August, the revised allotment on 29 August, and physical reporting to allotted colleges from 30 August to 5 September 2026 — Round 1 ran its full course on these dates. A draft Round 2 schedule was issued 3 September 2026; see the dedicated question below for its dates. Rs 5,000 plus 18% GST, which comes to Rs 5,900, for General and other categories. SC candidates pay Rs 2,500 plus 18% GST, or Rs 2,950. The fee had to reach the university's online payment gateway by 11 August 2026, 3:00 PM — two hours before the correction window itself closed that same day, a cut-off that has now passed. Submit two printed copies of the online application form, the Sports Gradation Certificate issued by the Director of Sports, Punjab, and self-attested copies of every supporting document, in person, at the Admission Branch, BFUHS, Faridkot. This was required under Clause 15(v) of the notification, and the same 11 August 2026, 5:00 PM deadline applied — now closed. Uploading the form online was not enough for this category. Punjab runs its 85% state quota strictly for Punjab domicile holders, and BFUHS also handles the government, management and NRI quota seats in Punjab's private medical and dental colleges. A candidate schooled in the Northeast, without Punjab domicile, does not qualify for the state quota. The door that stays open regardless of home state is the 15% All India Quota in Punjab's government colleges, filled separately by MCC. Some minority-status private institutions in Punjab may admit outside their usual domicile rule under minority provisions — if that applies to you, confirm it directly with the specific college rather than assuming. A valid UDID Card or Disability Certificate, issued under the provisions of the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016, and matching the norms prescribed by the National Medical Commission. This is a hard requirement stated in the notification itself, not a suggestion. ## Not Sure If Punjab Is Worth Your Application Fee? Tell us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and home state. We will tell you plainly whether Punjab's All India Quota route or a specific private college fits you, before you spend on a BFUHS application. --- # Haryana MBBS & BDS 2026 — Round 1 Result Out Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/haryana-neet-counselling-2026.html # Haryana MBBS and BDS Admission 2026 — Round 1 Allotment Result Declared Pt.

Across every category and institute combined — government medical colleges, private colleges and the four named universities — the lowest NEET UG 2026 score that secured any Round 1 seat was 189 marks , an NRI-category MBBS seat at Bhagat Phool Singh Government Medical College for Women, Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat. That figure is the overall floor across all reserved and NRI categories combined, not the Open (general) category cutoff at a government medical college, which closed considerably higher — check your own name and roll number in the published allotment list for your exact standing, since a single combined number does not tell you where your own category stood. The short version. UHSR Rohtak declared the Round 1 provisional allotment result for Haryana MBBS/BDS admission, after redressal of grievances, on 2 September 2026 — covering Government, Government Aided and Private Medical and Dental Educational Institutions, including four private universities: SGT University (Budhera, Gurugram), Maharishi Markandeshwar University (Sadhopur, Ambala), Al-Falah University (a Minority Private University) and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences (Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University). Document verification is now scheduled by category (Notice No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01): NRI/PwBD/ESM/FF/BCA/BCB on 6 September , OSC/SC-D/EWS/OPEN on 7 September , Management & Minority on 8 September , all in person at the Sushruta Auditorium, UHSR Rohtak, from 9:00 AM. Online tuition fee deposit runs 2 to 5 September (up to 5:00 PM), and the last date of reporting at the allotted institute is 9 September 2026, up to 4:00 PM . The overall lowest score that secured any Round 1 seat, across every category combined, was 189 marks (NRI category, MBBS). ## Every Date From the UHSR Round 1 Notice | Sr. | Stage | Dates | |---|---|---| | 1 | Registration on the online web portal, uhsrugcounselling.com | 28 – 31 August 2026, till 11:59 PM | | 2 | Editing of submitted information / submission of choices (online) and choice locking | 28 – 31 August 2026, till 11:59 PM | | 3 | Provisional allocation of seats | 2 September 2026 | | 4 | Grievances, if any, on the provisional allocation list | 2 September 2026 | | 5 | Display of allocation list after redressal of grievances | 2 September 2026 | | 6 | Online deposit of tuition fee, through the admission web portal only | 2 – 5 September 2026, up to 8:00 PM | | 7 | Document verification of candidates allotted a seat and who have paid the requisite provisional tuition fee online — Venue: Sushruta Auditorium, Pt. B.D. Sharma UHS, Rohtak — 6 Sept: NRI/PwBD/ESM/FF/BCA/BCB · 7 Sept: OSC/SC-D/EWS/OPEN · 8 Sept: Management & Minority | 6 – 8 September 2026 | | 8 | Downloading of provisional admission letter after successful document verification | 6 – 9 September 2026 | | 9 | Last date of joining in the allotted institute | 9 September 2026, up to 4:00 PM | This schedule held, and UHSR has since confirmed the exact category-wise verification days. Every date UHSR originally called “tentative” in its 27 August notice went ahead exactly as planned: registration, provisional allocation, grievance redressal, fee deposit and the joining deadline all landed on the dates shown above. The category-wise document-verification schedule promised separately has also now been published (Notice No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01, dated 2 September 2026) — see the breaking update above for your specific day by category. Personal appearance is mandatory, not optional. The notice is explicit: candidates must personally appear with all original documents before the Admission Committee at UHSR Rohtak, and failing to do so means the candidature will simply not be considered — there is no stated remote or postal alternative for document verification. ## What UHSR’s Notice Does Not Tell You This Round 1 Public Notice is a bare tentative schedule. It does not state a fee figure for any category, does not spell out the split between government-quota and management-quota seats at the named private universities, and does not state a domicile restriction or reservation policy anywhere in the schedule itself. As with most Indian states, Haryana's government medical and dental college seats are generally expected to split between a Haryana-domicile state quota and the 15% All India Quota that MCC fills on rank alone, with no domicile bar — but this specific notice does not restate that split, so treat it as a general pattern, not a confirmed fact for this cycle. Private universities named in the notice — SGT University, Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Al-Falah University and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences — typically run a wider management and NRI quota that can be open to candidates outside Haryana, alongside any government-quota seats routed through UHSR's counselling. Al-Falah University is specifically named a Minority Private University in the notice, which can carry its own separate minority-admission provisions. None of this is detailed in the Round 1 notice itself. The honest read for a Northeast India candidate. Do not assume Haryana works the same way as a state you already know. Confirm directly with UHSR Rohtak (uhsr.ac.in) for the government-college quota split, and separately with the specific private university's admission office for its own fee and quota structure, before registering or paying any fee. Call us with your NEET UG 2026 score and we will help you work out whether any of these four private universities, or the state quota itself, is realistically open to you. ## Documents to Keep on Hand ## Where to Verify Everything Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak. “MBBS/BDS Public Notice (Round-1),” No. UHSR/Acad/A-III/2026/7938, dated 27 August 2026, signed by the Dean Academic Affairs-cum-Chairman, Admission Committee, set the original tentative Round-I schedule. Two further documents confirm and complete it: the Round-1 provisional allotment result (after redressal of grievances), dated 2 September 2026, listing every allotted candidate by NEET UG 2026 AIR, score, category, course and allotted institute; and Public Notice No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01, dated 2 September 2026, “For Physical Document Verification Round-1,” which sets the category-wise verification days (6 September: NRI/PwBD/ESM/FF/BCA/BCB; 7 September: OSC/SC-D/EWS/OPEN; 8 September: Management & Minority), the online tuition-fee deposit window (2–5 September, up to 5:00 PM), and the final reporting deadline (9 September, 4:00 PM) at the Sushruta Auditorium, UHSR Rohtak. Coverage: Government/Government Aided/Private Medical and Dental Educational Institutions in Haryana, including Private Universities — SGT University, Budhera, Gurugram; Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Sadhopur, Ambala; Al-Falah University (Minority Private University); and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University — for Academic Session 2026-27. Portals: uhsr.ac.in, uhsrugcounselling.com and dmerharyana.gov.in. Helpline: 8189011696, 8189011697, 8189011698, 8189011699, 8189011700. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against UHSR Rohtak's own Round 1 allotment result and Notice No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01, both dated 2 September 2026. State and central authorities can still revise a schedule at short notice, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm your own status and reporting date on uhsrugcounselling.com before you travel to Rohtak. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of UHSR, any private university named here, or any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes. UHSR Rohtak declared the Round 1 provisional allotment result, after redressal of grievances, on 2 September 2026, covering Government, Government Aided and Private Medical and Dental colleges plus the four named private universities. A separate notice (No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01, also dated 2 September 2026) sets the category-wise document verification schedule: NRI/PwBD/ESM/FF/BCA/BCB on 6 September, OSC/SC-D/EWS/OPEN on 7 September, and Management and Minority on 8 September, all in person at the Sushruta Auditorium, UHSR Rohtak. Online tuition fee deposit runs 2 to 5 September, and the last date of reporting at the allotted institute is 9 September 2026, up to 4:00 PM. Across every category combined, the lowest score that secured a Round 1 seat was 189 marks, an NRI-category MBBS seat at Bhagat Phool Singh Government Medical College for Women, Khanpur Kalan, Sonepat — check the published list for your own category’s actual closing point rather than relying on this single overall figure. Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences (UHSR), Rohtak released the tentative Round 1 schedule on 27 August 2026 (Notice No. UHSR/Acad/A-III/2026/7938). Registration on uhsrugcounselling.com and submission/locking of choices both run 28 to 31 August 2026, till 11:59 PM. Provisional allocation of seats, grievances on that list, and the display of the allocation list after grievance redressal all fall on 2 September 2026. Online tuition fee deposit runs 2 to 5 September (up to 8:00 PM), document verification at Sushruta Auditorium, UHSR Rohtak runs 6 to 8 September, provisional admission letters download 6 to 9 September, and the last date of joining the allotted institute is 9 September 2026, up to 4:00 PM. Government, Government Aided and Private Medical and Dental Educational Institutions across Haryana, including those under four named private universities: SGT University, Budhera, Gurugram; Maharishi Markandeshwar University, Sadhopur, Ambala; Al-Falah University, a Minority Private University; and Sanskaram School of Medical Sciences, Jhajjar, under Sanskaram University. This is for MBBS and BDS admission, academic session 2026-27. Yes, mandatory. The notice states personal appearance of the candidate, along with all original documents, before the Admission Committee at Pt. B.D. Sharma University of Health Sciences, Rohtak, is compulsory — failing which the candidature will not be considered. UHSR has now published the exact category-wise verification days (Notice No. UHSR/Acad./A-III/2026/SPL-01): NRI/PwBD/ESM/FF/BCA/BCB report on 6 September, OSC/SC-D/EWS/OPEN on 7 September, and Management and Minority on 8 September — all at the Sushruta Auditorium, UHSR Rohtak, from 9:00 AM. BCA/BCB candidates need their non-creamy-layer certificate per the 16 July 2024 Haryana notification; SC/SC-D/ESM/FF/EWS/PwBD candidates need their caste/category certificate per the 27 August 2026 notification. This particular notice is a bare tentative schedule — it states no domicile restriction, no quota percentages and no fee figures at all for Round 1. As with most Indian states, government college seats typically split into a Haryana-domicile state quota and the 15% All India Quota filled separately by MCC, which carries no domicile bar; private university seats such as SGT, MM University, Al-Falah and Sanskaram usually carry a wider management or NRI quota that can be open to out-of-state candidates, but neither the quota split nor eligibility for a specific university is stated in this notice. Confirm directly with UHSR Rohtak or the specific private university's admission office before assuming eligibility, rather than relying on the general pattern alone. UHSR originally called it a “tentative schedule”, and in the event every date held: registration, allocation, grievance redressal, fee deposit and now document verification and reporting have all gone ahead as planned, right through to the Round 1 result declared 2 September 2026. That said, UHSR's notice still reserves the right for amendments by the State Government, Government of India, Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, NMC, MCC or NDC to apply automatically, so keep checking the admission web portal (uhsrugcounselling.com) rather than treating this page as the absolute last word, especially as Round 2 approaches. ## Not Sure If Haryana Is Worth Your Registration? Tell us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and home state. We will tell you plainly whether UHSR's state quota or one of the four named private universities realistically fits you, before you register on uhsrugcounselling.com. --- # Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Open, Register by 8 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/rajasthan-neet-counselling-2026.html # Rajasthan NEET UG 2026 — Round 2 Open, Register by 8 September The State Counselling Board notified the Round 2 schedule on 5 September 2026, in compliance with MCC's own Round 2 state schedule. Already-registered candidates need not register again — Round 1 registrants who did not complete Part 2 can complete it now. Fresh registration and the application fee run 6–8 September , security deposit and choice filling run 7–10 September , the allotment result publishes 14 September , and reporting at SMS Medical College, Jaipur runs 15–18 September . Full detail below. Last verified · 7 September 2026 · against the official Round 2 schedule, No. State UG Counseling Board/2026/, dated 5 September 2026 The short version. Rajasthan's NEET UG 2026 Round 2 is open, notified 5 September 2026 — still Rajasthan State domicile candidates only . If you already registered, you do not register again ; Round 1 registrants who never finished Part 2 can complete it now. Fresh candidates register 6–8 September (application fee ₹2,500, or ₹1,500 for SC/ST/ST-STA domicile candidates). The provisional vacant seat matrix publishes 7 September. Security deposit and choice filling run 7–10 September, auto-locking at 11:45 PM on 10 September — the same tiered deposit as Round 1 applies (₹50,000 government, ₹2,00,000 management, ₹5,00,000 NRI or private MBBS, ₹10,000 BDS) — the Round 2 notice lists this as a dated Round 2 activity (07–10 September) and, unlike registration, does not state that candidates who already paid in Round 1 are exempt , so budget for it again unless the portal confirms otherwise. Important: Round 1 choices are not carried forward — every candidate must fill Round 2 choices afresh, based on the Round 2 seat matrix. Defence/Para Military/NRI verification is 9 September, 10 AM–3 PM, at SMS Medical College, Jaipur. The Round 2 allotment result publishes 14 September ; tuition payment and physical reporting both run 15–18 September. The academic session is now stated to commence 15 September. Read this first if you are from outside Rajasthan Round 1 is domicile-restricted. The official schedule carries the line “Only for Rajasthan State domicile candidates” directly under its heading. If you hold an Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur or any other non-Rajasthan domicile, your NEET UG 2026 rank does not open this round to you. Your realistic routes into Rajasthan medical colleges are the 15% All India Quota through MCC counselling , and any NRI or management quota seats released under separate notifications. We would rather tell you that here than have you pay the application fee to find out. ## Round 2 Schedule, Registration Opens 6 September Breaking · Round 2 Notified · No. State UG Counseling Board/2026/, Dated 5 September 2026 Round 2 of Rajasthan NEET UG (MBBS/BDS) counselling is open, in compliance with MCC's Round 2 state schedule. Already-registered candidates need not register again — only fresh candidates, and Round 1 registrants who never completed Part 2, need to act in the registration window. Everyone else goes straight to the fresh choice-filling window, since Round 1 choices are not carried forward into Round 2 . The choice-filling window carries an explicit official caveat: the seat matrix reflects only real vacancies confirmed after Round 1 allotment and joining, but virtual vacancies may convert to real ones during processing, and further vacancies may open from resignations after MCC's own Round 2 result. Candidates are told to fill choices considering both real and virtual vacancies, using the Round 1 seat matrix as their reference for what may open up. | Stage | Date | |---|---| | Fresh registration & application fee (Part 1 & Part 2) | 06 September 2026 onward, both parts due 08 September 2026, 8:00 PM | | Provisional vacant seat matrix published | 07 September 2026 | | Last date to deposit application fee | 08 September 2026, 4:00 PM | | Provisional merit list; Defence/Para Military/NRI verification list (fresh & remaining candidates) | 08 September 2026 (midnight) | | Physical verification of Defence/Para Military & NRI candidature Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur | 09 September 2026, 10:00 AM–3:00 PM | | Provisional merit list after PwBD/PwD & NRI verification | 09 September 2026 (midnight) | | Provisional combined merit list; Defence/Para Military merit list, post-verification | 10 September 2026 | | Security deposit & online choice filling Same tiers as Round 1 — notice does not state already-paid candidates are exempt | 07–10 September 2026 choices auto-lock 11:45 PM, 10 Sept · deposit by 5:00 PM, 10 Sept | | Printing of application form after auto-locking | 11–18 September 2026 disabled 2:00 PM, 18 Sept | | Round 2 allotment result published | 14 September 2026 | | Printing of allotment letter online | 15–18 September 2026 disabled 11:45 AM, 18 Sept | | Deposition of one-year tuition fee by allotted candidates | 15–18 September 2026 closes 12:30 PM, 18 Sept | | Reporting & document submission Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur | 15–18 September 2026 9 AM–4 PM, 15–18 Sept; reporting till 2 PM on 18 Sept | | Subsequent rounds of seat allotment | To be notified later | | Commencement of academic session | 15 September 2026 (revised from 8 September) | On registration and fee.

Part 2 stays editable until final submission at 8:00 PM on 8 September; both fresh and already-registered candidates can request a change or correction to filled Part 1 details (including caste and additional category) from 6 to 8 September (till 8:00 PM) by emailing a signed, handwritten application with self-attested document copies from their registered email to support@neetrajasthan.com. PwBD/PwD candidates must upload their Eligibility Certificate from an MCC-designated centre for online verification, and bring the original at reporting. ## Round 1, Complete, the Schedule as It Ran | # | Activity | Dates | |---|---|---| | 1 | Registration & application fee (Part 1) — closed ug.neetrajasthan.com · both parts mandatory | 12 – 17 August 2026 | | 1b | Part 2 of the application form — extended Revised from 17 August | Extended to 21 August 2026, 8:00 PM | | 2 | Publishing of provisional seat matrix | 13 August 2026 | | 3 | Revised provisional merit list; revised PwBD/PwD, Defence/Para Military & NRI verification list | 22 August 2026 | | 4 | Physical verification of Defence/Para Military & NRI candidature Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur · already-verified candidates need not come again | 24 August 2026, 10 AM–2 PM | | 5 | Provisional merit list (revised); post-verification Defence/Para Military and NRI merit lists | 24 August 2026 (midnight) | | 6 | Security deposit & choice filling — extended Tiered deposit, see fee table below · revised from 20 August | 14 – 25 August 2026, to 6:00 PM choices auto-lock 11:55 PM, 25 Aug | | 7 | Printing of application form after auto-locking of choices | 26 August – 5 September 2026 till 1:00 PM, 5 Sept | | 8 | Round 1 allotment result published — delayed Revised from 22 August | 29 August 2026 | | 9 | Printing of allotment letter online | 30 August – 5 September 2026 till 5:00 PM, 5 Sept | | 10 | Deposition of one-year tuition fee by allotted candidates Security deposit is adjusted against this amount | 30 August – 5 September 2026 closes 12:00 noon, 5 Sept | | 11 | Reporting & document submission — delayed Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur · revised from 23–27 August | 30 August – 5 September 2026 9 AM–4 PM, 30 Aug–4 Sept; till 2 PM on 5 Sept | | 12 | Subsequent rounds of seat allotment | To be notified later | | 13 | Commencement of academic session | 8 September 2026 | Defence, Para Military & NRI candidates — verification is 24 August If you are a Defence/Para Military or NRI candidate awaiting verification, the date is 24 August, not 19 August. The revised schedule sets physical verification of Defence/Para Military and NRI candidature before the Board at 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM on 24 August 2026, at the Academic Block, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, based on a revised list published 22 August. Candidates who were already verified earlier need not attend again. Confirm your name is on the 22 August revised list and your exact reporting slot directly on ug.neetrajasthan.com before you travel. ## It Is Not a Flat ₹5 Lakh — the Revised Notice Sets Out Five Tiers The earlier version of this page, based on general guidance rather than the numbered schedule itself, described a flat ₹5,00,000 deposit at choice filling. The revised notice dated 20 August states the figure in writing for the first time, and it is tiered by the seat type you choose — most candidates going for a government seat pay far less than ₹5 lakh. | Seat you are choosing | Security deposit | |---|---| | Government Seat (MBBS) — UR/EWS/SC/ST/ST-STA/OBC-NCL/MBC-NCL, in Government Medical Colleges, Government Society Medical Colleges, RUHS-CMS or ESIC MC | ₹50,000 | | Management Seat (MBBS) in Government Society Colleges or RUHS-CMS | ₹2,00,000 | | NRI Seat (MBBS) in Government, Government Society Colleges or RUHS-CMS | ₹5,00,000 | | MBBS Course in Private Medical Colleges | ₹5,00,000 | | BDS Course in Government Dental College, RUHS-CDS or Private Dental Colleges | ₹10,000 | Candidates who deposit ₹2,00,000 or ₹5,00,000 automatically become eligible to fill choices for Government Medical/Dental Colleges, Government Society Medical Colleges, RUHS-CMS, RUHS-CDS, ESIC MC and Private Dental Colleges — the higher deposit widens, rather than replaces, your choice list. The counselling board forwards whichever amount you pay to your allotted college, and it is adjusted against your first-year tuition fee when you pay between 30 August and 5 September. In other words, for a candidate who is allotted a seat and joins it, this is money moved earlier, not money added. What the schedule still does not say. Even the revised notice does not state what happens to the deposit if you are allotted a seat and then decline it, or fail to report. Most states forfeit some or all of the deposit in that situation. Because the schedule is silent on it, confirm the forfeiture terms in writing on ug.neetrajasthan.com before you pay — do not assume it is fully refundable, and do not assume it is fully forfeited either. A short, separate window just opened for Part 1 corrections — closing today. A fresh notice (No. State-UG Counseling Board-2026/62, dated 20 August 2026) permits candidates who need a change in Part 1 of their registration/application form to email the request. Send it to support@neetrajasthan.com , and it must reach the Board by 2:00 PM on 21 August 2026 — anything received after that time will not be entertained. This is separate from the Part 2 extension covered above: Part 1 was meant to be locked in from the 17 August close, and this notice is the Board's only stated route to fix it now. If you spot an error in your Part 1 details, do not wait — email it today. ## Sequencing, Not Just Dates | What looks odd | What it means for you | |---|---| | Choice filling opened 14 August, before any merit list existed | You had to build and begin ordering your preference list before knowing your position in the state merit order. The revised provisional merit list only publishes 22 August, well inside the choice-filling window that now runs to 25 August — check your rank the moment it is out and finish ordering your list before the 25 August, 11:55 PM auto-lock. | | Part 2 registration now closes 21 August, four days after Part 1 and the fee closed 17 August | These are two separate deadlines. Missing the 17 August fee/Part 1 deadline ends Round 1 for you outright. If you cleared that but have not finished Part 2, you have until 21 August, 8:00 PM — do not assume the extension covers Part 1 as well. | | Tuition payment and physical reporting share the same 30 August–5 September window, and the last day closes earlier | Fee deposition closes at 12:00 noon and reporting at 2:00 PM on 5 September, both earlier than the 4:00 PM cut-off on the preceding days. If you leave both to the final day you are managing a bank transaction and a document appointment in Jaipur on a shortened clock. | Source and scope. The Round 2 schedule, deposit tiers and domicile restriction on this page come from the official Round 2 notification — No. State UG Counseling Board/2026/, dated 5 September 2026, issued by the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission/Counselling Board 2026, SMS Medical College, Jaipur, which states it is issued in compliance with the state schedule for Round 2 released by MCC. Round 1's schedule and deposit tiers came from the revised Round 1 notice, No. State UG Counselling Board/2026/, dated 20 August 2026. Both notices direct candidates to the Information Bulletin, college information sheets and college fee structure on the official websites, and to the Hon'ble Supreme Court's order dated 19 May 2022 in Civil Appeal No. 3978-3995/2017 regarding fees. Subsequent rounds beyond Round 2 are to be notified later, and the detailed eligibility criteria and college-wise seat matrix are published separately on ug.neetrajasthan.com and medicaleducation.rajasthan.gov.in. Confirm every date against those portals before you act on it — state counselling authorities revise deadlines at short notice. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no MBBS seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us No, not if you already registered — the official Round 2 notification, dated 5 September 2026, states already-registered candidates need not register again; Round 1 registrants who never completed Part 2 can complete it now. Fresh candidates register 6 to 8 September (application fee ₹2,500, or ₹1,500 for SC/ST/ST-STA Rajasthan-domicile candidates). The provisional vacant seat matrix publishes 7 September. Security deposit and choice filling run 7 to 10 September, auto-locking at 11:45 PM on 10 September — the same tiered deposit as Round 1 applies — the notice does not state that candidates who already paid in Round 1 are exempt this round, unlike its explicit exemption for registration, so confirm on the portal before assuming you will not be asked to deposit again. Round 1 choices are not carried forward; every candidate fills Round 2 choices afresh. The Round 2 allotment result publishes 14 September, and tuition-fee deposition and physical reporting at SMS Medical College, Jaipur both run 15 to 18 September. This round remains open only to Rajasthan State domicile candidates. No. The official Round 1 schedule states plainly at the top: only for Rajasthan State domicile candidates . If you do not hold Rajasthan domicile, this round is closed to you regardless of your NEET UG 2026 rank. For a student from Assam or elsewhere in the Northeast, the routes into Rajasthan colleges are the All India Quota through MCC, and any NRI or management seats offered under separate notifications — not this round. Almost everything after registration moved back, by anywhere from three days to a full week. Part 2 of the application form, previously closed 17 August, is now extended to 21 August, 8:00 PM . Security deposit and choice filling, previously closing 20 August, now run to 25 August, 6:00 PM . Round 1 allotment result, previously due 22 August, is now due 29 August . Reporting and document submission, previously 23–27 August, now runs 30 August to 5 September . The notice also spells out, for the first time in writing, that the security deposit is tiered by seat type rather than a flat ₹5 lakh — see below. Academic session commencement is now stated as 8 September 2026 . In two parts, on two different dates. Part 1 of the application form and the application fee closed 17 August 2026 — that deadline has not changed. Part 2 of the application form, which was also due 17 August under the earlier schedule, has now been extended to 8:00 PM on 21 August 2026 under the revised schedule. Both parts must be completed; an incomplete Part 2 means an incomplete application, even if Part 1 and the fee were submitted on time. It is not a flat ₹5 lakh for everyone — the revised notice sets out five tiers, payable during the choice filling window (14–25 August, to 6:00 PM). UR/EWS/SC/ST/ST-STA/OBC-NCL/MBC-NCL candidates opting for a Government Seat (MBBS) in Government Medical Colleges, Government Society Medical Colleges, RUHS-CMS or ESIC MC pay ₹50,000 . A Management Seat (MBBS) in Government Society Colleges or RUHS-CMS is ₹2,00,000 . An NRI Seat (MBBS) in Government or Government Society Colleges or RUHS-CMS is ₹5,00,000 , as is any MBBS seat in a Private Medical College. BDS in a Government Dental College, RUHS-CDS or a Private Dental College is ₹10,000 . Candidates who deposit ₹2,00,000 or ₹5,00,000 automatically become eligible to fill choices across Government Medical/Dental Colleges, Government Society Medical Colleges, RUHS-CMS, RUHS-CDS, ESIC MC and Private Dental Colleges. The counselling board forwards the deposited amount to your allotted college and it is adjusted against your first-year tuition fee when you pay between 30 August and 5 September — the notice does not state what happens to it if you are allotted a seat and decline it, so confirm the forfeiture terms directly on ug.neetrajasthan.com before you pay. Registration opened 12 August; the application fee and Part 1 closed 17 August, Part 2 extended to 21 August, 8:00 PM. Provisional seat matrix published 13 August. Revised provisional merit list, and the revised list of PwBD/PwD, Defence/Para Military and NRI candidates called for verification, publish 22 August.

The Round 2 seat matrix publishes 7 September , online choice/preference filling runs 8–10 September (11:59 PM) , the selection list is declared 12 September , and physical joining runs 13–18 September (excluding 14 September). CAP Round 1 is complete — it was declared 30 August and joining closed 4 September. Full detail below. Last verified · 7 September 2026 · against MAHACET Notice No. 13, dated 5 September 2026, on the CAP Round 2 schedule The short version. MAHACET's Notice No. 13 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/UG-2026/CAP-2/MBBS-BDS/2818), dated 5 September 2026 , opens CAP Round 2 for MBBS/BDS (Group A), to fill seats that remained vacant after CAP Round 1. The Round 2 seat matrix publishes 7 September , online choice/preference filling runs 8–10 September, up to 11:59 PM , and the CAP Round 2 selection list is declared 12 September . Physical joining at the allotted college, with all original documents and requisite fees by demand draft, runs 13–18 September, excluding 14 September — payment by cheque is allowed on bank holidays but must be replaced with a demand draft on the next working day, or the admission itself can be cancelled. The academic session is stated to commence 15 September 2026 . This schedule is explicitly subject to change per MCC, AACCC, Central Government, State Government or court directions — the notice itself says so. CAP Round 1 is complete : under Notice No. 10 (19 August), the final merit list and seat matrix published 25 August, choice filling ran 26–29 August, Round 1 was declared 30 August, and joining ran through 4 September; Notice No. 12 (26 August) had flagged that a Bombay/Delhi High Court order restoring NTA-withheld candidates could still revise the Round 1 merit list. Separate registration with MAHACET remains mandatory for State Quota seats, even if you have already registered with MCC for the All India Quota. ## CAP Round 2, Choice Filling 8–10 September Breaking · CAP Round 2 Notified · Notice No. 13, No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/UG-2026/CAP-2/MBBS-BDS/2818, Dated 5 September 2026 MAHACET has opened CAP Round 2 for MBBS/BDS (Group A) to fill seats left vacant after Round 1. The notice cites Notice No. 10 (19 August, under which Round 1 was completed) and the updated schedule published by the Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi, dated 2 September 2026, as its basis. The notice's own header reads “NEET-UG-2025” even though every date in it, and its own title, place it squarely in the 2026-27 academic year counselling that is running right now — almost certainly a carried-over typo from an earlier template, not a separate process. Treat this as Maharashtra's current Round 2 for the 2026-27 session. | # | Activity | Date & time | |---|---|---| | 1 | Publication of Seat Matrix for CAP Round 2 | 07 September 2026 | | 2 | Online Choice/Preference form filling process | 08 September 2026 – 10 September 2026 up to 11:59 PM, 10 Sept | | 3 | Declaration of Selection List — CAP Round 2 | 12 September 2026 | | 4 | Physical joining to allotted college with all original documents and requisite fees by demand draft Payment by cheque allowed on bank holidays, to be replaced by a demand draft on the next working day — failure to submit the replacement DD on that next working day can see the admission cancelled | 13 September 2026 – 18 September 2026 excluding 14 September 2026 | | 5 | Commencement of academic session | 15 September 2026 | Subject to change. The notice states plainly that this schedule is subject to change as per the direction of various authorities like MCC, AACCC, Central Government, State Government or the Hon’ble Court, and it advises candidates to regularly visit www.mahacet.org for notifications, updates and further instructions. This is a Group A (MBBS/BDS)-only round; Group B, Group C and any further Group A rounds are notified separately, per the pattern set in Round 1. ## Round 1, Complete, Revised Twice, Then Declared 30 August Round 1 · Complete · Revised Twice · Notice No. 08 (14 Aug) then Notice No. 10 (19 Aug) Every step of the Round 1 schedule moved once already, the registration door reopened, and the State CET Cell has now confirmed everything through to joining. Notice No. 08 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/NEET-UG-2026/CAP/Revised Schedule/1990), dated 14 August 2026, states that in view of the extension granted by the Medical Counselling Committee for All India Quota counselling — MCC’s notice of 13 August 2026 — the State CET Cell extended the registration period and revised the CAP schedule accordingly. Registration, originally closing 12 August, closed 15 August at 8:00 PM . The provisional merit list moved from 15 to 18 August . Notice No. 10 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/NEET-UG-2026/CAP/Revised Schedule/2034), dated 19 August 2026, cites both MCC's own revised schedule of 19 August and its own earlier Notice No. 08 as reference, and reopens online registration and session apply — for candidates who had not registered under Notice No. 03 or Notice No. 08 — from 20 August, 8:00 PM to 21 August, 8:00 PM . Payment of registration fees, open to these new registrants and to anyone who registered earlier without paying, runs 20 August, 8:00 PM to 21 August, 10:00 PM , with document upload to 21 August, 11:59 PM . The grievance window for the 18 August provisional merit list (19–20 August, 5:00 PM) is unchanged. Notice No. 10 then lays out every remaining step in full: online document verification and a revised registered/provisional merit list on 23 August , a second grievance window open only to newly registered candidates, to 24 August, 5:00 PM , the final merit list and seat matrix on 25 August , choice/preference filling 26–29 August, up to 5:30 PM , the CAP Round 1 declaration on 30 August , and physical joining at the allotted college 31 August to 4 September, up to 5:30 PM . These figures replace the 21/22-24/25 August dates published under Notice No. 08. If you registered, paid or uploaded documents under the earlier schedule, nothing is lost — the same portal and the same data carry forward. Notice No. 08 confirms that all remaining instructions in Notice No. 03 stay as they are. The grievance window, open now through 20 August, 5:00 PM , is the only correction opportunity for candidates already on the provisional merit list, and it will not entertain a change without supporting documentary proof. ## Eighteen Steps, Fully Confirmed — MBBS/BDS Group A, CAP Round 1 | # | Activity | Revised date & time | |---|---|---| | 1 | Online registration and session apply (MBBS & BDS only) — closed | Extended to 15 August 2026 , 8:00 PM | | 2 | Payment of registration fees through the online payment gateway — a candidate is treated as registered only after successful payment — closed | Extended to 15 August 2026 , 10:00 PM | | 3 | Uploading colour-scanned copies of all original requisite documents on the portal — closed | Extended to 15 August 2026 , 11:59 PM | | 4 | Document verification through online mode — closed | Up to 17 August 2026 | | 5 | Publication of registered candidate list (Group A) — due, confirm on portal | 18 August 2026 | | 6 | Publication of provisional merit list (Group A) — due, confirm on portal | 18 August 2026 | | 7 | Submission of grievances (candidates on the 18 Aug provisional list), with supportive document proof | 19 – 20 August 2026, up to 5:00 PM | | 7a | Notice No. 10 — Online registration and session apply, reopened only for candidates not registered under Notice No. 03 or 08 | 20 August 2026, 8:00 PM – 21 August 2026, 8:00 PM | | 7b | Notice No. 10 — Payment of registration fees for the above, and for anyone registered earlier without paying | 20 August 2026, 8:00 PM – 21 August 2026, 10:00 PM | | 7c | Notice No. 10 — Uploading colour-scanned original documents , including candidates who failed to upload earlier | 20 August 2026, 8:00 PM – 21 August 2026, 11:59 PM | | 8 | Document verification through online mode | 23 August 2026 | | 9 | Publication of revised registered candidate list (Group A) | 23 August 2026 | | 10 | Publication of revised provisional merit list (Group A) | 23 August 2026 | | 11 | Submission of grievances — open only to newly registered candidates who newly uploaded and submitted documents; those given the 19–20 Aug window do not get a second chance | 24 August 2026 , up to 5:00 PM | | 12 | Publication of final merit list (Group A) | 25 August 2026 | | 13 | Publication of seat matrix (Group A) | 25 August 2026 | | 14 | Online choice/preference filling process (Group A) | 26 – 29 August 2026 , up to 5:30 PM | | 15 | Declaration of CAP Round 1 (Group A) | 30 August 2026 | | 16 | Physical joining at allotted college, with originals and fee demand draft | 31 August – 4 September 2026 , up to 5:30 PM | Rows 8 through 16 are new in this update. Notice No. 10, dated 19 August, had earlier left these downstream steps unstated in the portion we had seen; the full notice text confirms them as above, replacing the 21/22-24/25 August figures Notice No. 08 published on 14 August. Treat this as the current, confirmed schedule — but this process is still explicitly subject to change per MCC, AACCC, Central or State Government, or court directions, so a quick check on cetcell.mahacet.org before you travel for joining is still worth the two minutes. Update, 25 August: rows 8–11 have run their course on schedule — document verification and the revised registered/provisional merit list were published 23 August, as Notice No. 10 said they would be, with no reports of a further postponement. The final merit list and seat matrix (row 12–13) are due today, 25 August; check the portal for your own result as the day's updates post. No Notice No. 11 or later revision to this chain has surfaced as of this check. Update, 26 August — the merit list may not be final yet. Notice No. 12 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/CET-2026/MBBS-BDS/Choice filing/2107, dated 26 August 2026) discloses that NTA had withheld the results of certain candidates, and that the Hon’ble High Courts of Bombay and Delhi, in recent orders, have directed those petitioner candidates’ results be declared and the candidates allowed to participate in the ongoing CAP process. The courts directed the results be shared with the CET Cell by 27 August 2026 . Once received, these candidates join the process and a Revised Final Merit List will be published on the website — meaning the merit list and seat matrix figures above could still move before choice filling closes. To accommodate this, the notice confirms preference forms can be edited multiple times up to 29 August, 5:30 PM , by unlocking with an OTP sent to your registered email and mobile — so candidates can revise their choices even after a revised list is declared, right up to the deadline. Everything else in the schedule (choice filling 26–29 August, CAP Round 1 declared 30 August, joining to 4 September) stands as published. Two clauses worth reading twice. Grievances at step 7 are only entertained with supportive document proof — no changes are made on a candidate's word alone. And at step 12, fee payment by cheque is allowed only on bank holidays, and has to be replaced with a demand draft on the very next working day; miss that replacement and the admission itself can be cancelled. This entire schedule is also explicitly subject to change per directions from MCC, AACCC, the Central or State Government, or the courts — check the portal, don't just bookmark this page. NRI candidates had an earlier, separate deadline. Notice No. 08 required NRI candidates to register on the Foreign Candidate Registration Portal before 14 August 2026, 11:59 PM , for verification of eligibility — now closed — after which the schedule above applies to them unchanged. Eligibility criteria and the NRI registration process are set out in Notice No. 04, not in this notice. ## Group A Only, for Now — and Registration With MCC Doesn't Cover This This schedule is for MBBS and BDS — Group A courses — only. MAHACET's own notice says the schedule for Group B and Group C courses, and the schedule for subsequent Group A rounds, will each be declared separately, in due course. Admissions cover Government, Government Aided, Municipal Corporation and Private Unaided medical and dental colleges, plus any other college the state notifies, all strictly on NEET UG 2026 merit. The instruction most likely to catch people out. Registering with MCC for the 15% All India Quota does not register you for Maharashtra's State Quota. The notice states plainly that separate registration with the State Competent Authority — MAHACET — is mandatory for State Quota participation, regardless of your AIQ registration status. Two portals, two registrations, two sets of deadlines, and neither one substitutes for the other. MCC's own schedule, for comparison → ## What the Notice Itself Tells You to Get Right ### Only NEET-qualified candidates register MAHACET states only candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 for MBBS/BDS are eligible to register for this phase — check your own qualification status against the national cut-off before you begin. ### Use only the official portal Registration is only through the official online admission portal within the prescribed period. The notice doesn't name a second acceptable channel. ### No proxy at physical verification Candidates opting for physical document verification must report to their allotted centre per the notified schedule, with all original documents. The notice states plainly: no proxy allowed. ### Check course eligibility before you fill the form MAHACET's own instruction: candidates should ascertain their eligibility for the various courses before filling up the registration form — not after, when a mismatch is far harder to fix.

Notice No. 08, No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/NEET-UG-2026/CAP/Revised Schedule/1990, dated 14 August 2026: “Extension for Registration and Revised Schedule for admission to MBBS/BDS (Group A) courses for Academic Year 2026-27”. It supersedes the dates in Notice No. 03 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/UG-2026/MBBS-BDS/Registration/1899, dated 5 August 2026) and refers to the Medical Counselling Committee notice dated 13 August 2026.

Re-checked 7 September 2026: Notice No. 13 (No.MED-1026/CR.No.83/UG-2026/CAP-2/MBBS-BDS/2818), dated 5 September 2026, titled “Schedule of CAP Round-2 for admission to MBBS/BDS (Group A) courses, Academic Year 2026-27”, opens CAP Round 2, referring to Notice No. 10 (19 August 2026, under which Round 1 was completed) and the updated schedule published by the Medical Counselling Committee, New Delhi, dated 2 September 2026. Signed for the Commissioner, Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test (Test) Cell, Mumbai. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 20 August 2026, rechecked 25 August 2026 against subsequent official reporting, and rechecked again 7 September 2026 against Notice No. 13, which opened CAP Round 2. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee.

The seat matrix for Round 2 publishes 7 September, online choice/preference filling runs 8 to 10 September up to 11:59 PM, and the CAP Round 2 selection list is declared 12 September. Physical joining at the allotted college, with all original documents and requisite fees by demand draft, runs 13 to 18 September, excluding 14 September; payment by cheque is allowed on bank holidays but must be replaced with a demand draft on the next working day, or the admission can be cancelled. The academic session is stated to commence 15 September 2026. This schedule is explicitly subject to change per MCC, AACCC, Central Government, State Government or court directions. The Maharashtra State Common Entrance Test Cell, the Competent Authority for admission to undergraduate Health Science courses in the state. Notice No. 03, dated 5 August 2026, opens the Registration Schedule for the Centralised Admission Process (CAP) for MBBS and BDS — classified as Group A courses — for the 2026-27 academic year, covering Government, Government Aided, Municipal Corporation, Private Unaided and other notified Medical and Dental Colleges in Maharashtra. Online registration and session apply originally ran 6 to 12 August 2026. Notice No. 08, dated 14 August 2026, extended that window to 15 August, up to 8:00 PM; payment of registration fees closed 15 August, 10:00 PM, and uploading scanned original documents closed 15 August, 11:59 PM. Then Notice No. 10, dated 19 August 2026, reopened registration a second time — but only for candidates who had not registered under Notice No. 03 or 08 — from 20 August, 8:00 PM to 21 August, 8:00 PM, with payment (also open to earlier registrants who hadn't paid) to 21 August, 10:00 PM, and document upload to 21 August, 11:59 PM. If you already registered and paid, none of this second window applies to you. Yes. The notice states this in its own important instructions: separate registration with the State Competent Authority is mandatory for participation in Maharashtra's State Quota counselling, irrespective of whether you've registered with MCC for All India Quota counselling. The two processes don't share data automatically — you have to do both. You will not be considered for admission from your claimed category. The notice is explicit that failure to upload the requisite documents within the given period, in the prescribed format, is entirely the candidate's own responsibility, and it can mean cancellation of the form. Get your documents scanned in colour and ready before the window opens, not after. 31 August to 4 September 2026, up to 5:30 PM, per the confirmed schedule in Notice No. 10 (19 August), which superseded the 26-30 August window Notice No. 08 had originally set. The notice allows payment by cheque on bank holidays, to be replaced with a demand draft on the next working day — but if that replacement DD isn't submitted on that next working day, the admission itself can be cancelled. This whole schedule remains subject to change per MCC, AACCC, Central or State Government, or court directions, so confirm the current joining dates on cetcell.mahacet.org before you travel. It may still change. Notice No. 12, dated 26 August 2026, discloses that NTA had withheld the results of certain candidates, and that the Hon’ble High Courts of Bombay and Delhi have ordered those candidates’ results declared and the candidates included in the ongoing CAP process. The courts directed the results be shared with the CET Cell by 27 August 2026, after which a Revised Final Merit List will be published. To accommodate this, preference forms can be edited multiple times up to 29 August, 5:30 PM, by unlocking with an OTP sent to your registered email and mobile — so you can revise choices even after a revised list appears. The rest of the schedule, including CAP Round 1 declaration on 30 August, is unchanged. ## Registering With MCC and MAHACET at the Same Time Is Confusing. We'll Help.

If you already registered and were allotted a seat in Round 1, nothing has changed for you: you are still working against the 1st Round Allotment & Reporting schedule below, with tuition fee payment open to 3 September and reporting at the Help Center open to 5 September. But if you skipped Round 1 registration entirely, ACPUGMEC has opened a fresh window just for you — online PIN purchase and registration both open today, 1 September , and run to 4 September , with document verification at Help Centers following through 5 September . The fee is the same ₹11,000 (₹1,000 registration plus a refundable ₹10,000 deposit), and if you already paid that in Round 1 but never finished registering, you do not need to buy a second PIN. NRI candidates registering now also owe an extra ₹10,000 by demand draft. Full details, as always, are on medadmgujarat.org. Last verified · 1 September 2026 · against ACPUGMEC’s Advertisement for Online Registration for the Second Round, and its Advertisement for 1st Round of Allotment & Reporting The short answer. If you skipped Round 1 registration for Gujarat MBBS/BDS 2026-27, ACPUGMEC has opened a Round 2 registration window for you: online PIN purchase and registration both run 1 to 4 September 2026 (PIN purchase to 12 noon, registration to 4:00 PM) at medadmgujarat.org, followed by document verification at a Help Center from 2 to 5 September, 12:00 noon , at an appointment slot you choose yourself. The fee is ₹1,000 (non-refundable) plus a ₹10,000 refundable security deposit — ₹11,000 total, paid online during PIN purchase. NRI candidates additionally pay ₹10,000 by demand draft in favour of ACPUGMEC, payable at Gandhinagar, submitted after registration. If you already paid ₹11,000 for a PIN in Round 1 but never completed registration or document verification, you do not need to buy a new PIN — just finish registering now. Separately, candidates already allotted a Round 1 seat continue on their own schedule: online tuition fee payment to 3 September, 3:30 PM , and reporting with original documents at the Help Center to 5 September, 12:00 noon . Eligibility for both tracks requires a NEET UG 2026 score of 213 for Open/EWS, 194 for PwD Open/EWS, and 177 for SC, ST, SEBC and category-PwD, and government and management quota still need both Class 10 and Class 12 passed from schools in Gujarat. ## Missed Round 1? — Registration Is Open Again, 1–4 September This is a different process from the allotment table further down this page, and it is meant for a different candidate. It is for NEET UG 2026 qualified students — from Gujarat Board, CBSE, CISCE, Cambridge or NIOS schools in Gujarat, Science stream — who did not register at all during Round 1. If that is you, here is the window ACPUGMEC has given you for admission to first-year MBBS/BDS, academic year 2026-27. | Activity | From | To | |---|---|---| | Online PIN purchase | 1 September 2026 | 4 September 2026, 12:00 Noon | | Online registration | 1 September 2026 | 4 September 2026, 4:00 PM | | Document verification & photocopy submission at Help Center | 2 September 2026 | 5 September 2026, 12:00 Noon | What it costs, and who pays extra. The fee is ₹1,000, non-refundable, plus a ₹10,000 refundable security deposit — ₹11,000 in total, paid online while buying the PIN. NRI candidates pay an additional ₹10,000 processing fee after registering, by demand draft in favour of “ACPUGMEC” payable at Gandhinagar, submitted at the ACPUGMEC office, GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar. If your goal is a Local Quota seat at Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, or SMIMER, Surat, you also need a residence certificate from that college's own Dean — ACPUGMEC's registration alone does not get you Local Quota consideration. And if you already paid ₹11,000 for a PIN during Round 1 but never got as far as completing registration or document verification, do not buy a second PIN: just log back in and finish the steps you left undone. Document verification appointments are self-selected at the time you print your registration slip, and the Help Center keeps the same hours as the rest of this process — Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 4 PM, Saturday 10 AM to 12 PM, closed Sundays and public holidays.

Plan your reporting date inside those hours, not around the outer 29 August–5 September window alone. ACPUGMEC's advertisement is numbered from item 2 onward in our source copy — item 1 (most likely the allotment-result declaration itself) was not visible to us, so we have not guessed at it; confirm your own allotment status directly on medadmgujarat.org before you pay any fee. ## The Marks ACPUGMEC Has Actually Published | Course | Category | Class 12 PCB (theory + practical) | English | NEET UG 2026 qualifying score | |---|---|---|---|---| | MBBS | Open / EWS | Pass | Pass | 213 | | PwD (Open / EWS) | Pass | Pass | 194 | | | SC / ST / SEBC & category-PwD | Pass | Pass | 177 | | | BDS | Open / EWS | 50% | Pass | 213 | | PwD (Open / EWS) | 45% | Pass | 194 | | | SC / ST / SEBC & category-PwD | 40% | Pass | 177 | | Note the BDS row. Gujarat applies a Class 12 PCB percentage requirement to BDS that it does not apply to MBBS. A candidate who clears the NEET floor but has 46% in PCB is eligible for MBBS consideration and not for BDS in the Open category. Check your marksheet against this table before you register, not after. Full 2026 qualifying-mark breakdown → ## Gujarat's Schooling Rule Is Stricter Than Most States To be considered for Government Quota or Management Quota in Gujarat, a candidate must have passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from schools located in Gujarat , and must either have been born in Gujarat or hold Gujarat domicile. This is not the usual soft domicile preference that some states apply — it is a hard gate written into the admission rules, and it applies to OCI card holders too. For a student schooled in Guwahati, Shillong, Imphal or Aizawl, that closes two of the three quotas. What remains is NRI Quota, where ACPUGMEC grants admission on inter-se merit determined by All India Overall Rank among candidates who applied for NRI seats. Following the Supreme Court judgment in Writ Petition (C) No. 891 of 2021, dated 3 February 2023, OCI card holders are eligible for NRI, Management and Government quota — but the Gujarat schooling and domicile conditions above still bind the last two. What OEF will tell you plainly. If your family has no genuine NRI sponsor and you were not schooled in Gujarat, Gujarat is not your state this year, and we will say so before you spend a rupee on a PIN. Puducherry's national self-supporting stream, open until 6 August, and the private management quota in states that still admit out-of-state candidates are better uses of the same fortnight. See CENTAC Puducherry → ## How the ACPUGMEC Process Actually Runs ### Buy the online PIN Purchased through medadmgujarat.org. ACPUGMEC's own advice is to do this on a broadband connection, because transaction failures on weak connections are a recurring complaint. Without a PIN you cannot reach the application stage at all. ### Complete the online registration Authenticate with the PIN and enter your NEET UG 2026 and Class 12 details along with personal information. ACPUGMEC publishes a documents checklist, an instructions PDF and a procedure PDF on the UG page — read all three before starting. ### Book a help-centre appointment Document verification happens in person at a designated help centre, and you choose the date and centre yourself while printing the registration slip. ACPUGMEC publishes the help-centre list. PwD candidates additionally appear before the medical board at a listed civil hospital. ### Merit list, choice filling, allotment ACPUGMEC publishes the merit list, then runs choice filling and seat allotment across successive rounds, ending with a stray round. Candidates report physically to the allotted college for admission. ### The refundable deposit Gujarat collects a non-refundable registration fee plus a refundable security deposit of ₹10,000. The refund is processed in rounds after the cycle ends, and candidates must submit bank details in the notified window — ACPUGMEC is currently running refund Round 7 for the previous session. Deposits do get forfeited where candidates default, so read the forfeiture clause before you accept an allotment. ## The Official Notices Behind This Page Checked against medadmgujarat.org on 1 September 2026, directly against ACPUGMEC's Advertisement for Online Registration for the Second Round and its earlier Advertisement for 1st Round of Allotment & Reporting. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website, most recently its Advertisement for Online Registration for the Second Round, on 1 September 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us The original registration window closed 12 August 2026, but that was not the end of registration for everyone. ACPUGMEC has since opened a separate Round 2 registration window, 1 to 4 September 2026, specifically for candidates who did not register at all in Round 1. If you already registered and are on the merit list, you are past this and should be tracking the 1st Round Allotment & Reporting schedule instead. Yes. ACPUGMEC has opened online registration for a Round 2 specifically for NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates from Gujarat Board, CBSE, CISCE, Cambridge or NIOS schools in Gujarat who did not register in Round 1. Online PIN purchase runs 1 to 4 September 2026 up to 12 noon, and online registration itself runs 1 to 4 September up to 4:00 PM, both at medadmgujarat.org. Document verification, with photocopies submitted at a Help Center, follows on 2 to 5 September up to 12 noon, and you pick your own appointment slot when you print your registration slip. The fee is Rs 1,000 (non-refundable) plus a Rs 10,000 refundable security deposit, Rs 11,000 in total, paid online at the PIN-purchase stage. NRI candidates pay an additional Rs 10,000 processing fee after registering, by demand draft in favour of ACPUGMEC payable at Gandhinagar, submitted at the ACPUGMEC office at GMERS Medical College, Gandhinagar. Anyone hoping for a Local Quota seat at Smt. NHL Municipal Medical College, Ahmedabad, or SMIMER, Surat, also needs a residence certificate from that college's Dean. If you already paid Rs 11,000 for a PIN in Round 1 but never finished registering or verifying documents, you do not need to buy a new PIN — just complete registration and verification now. 1st Round choice filling ran 24 to 27 August 2026 (1:00 PM), with choices displayed the same day up to 4:00 PM. ACPUGMEC has since issued its Advertisement for 1st Round of Allotment & Reporting, covering all eligible candidates on the ACPUGMEC Merit List for Government, Management and NRI seats: online tuition fee payment runs 27 August to 3 September, 3:30 PM; fees can also be paid offline at a designated HDFC Bank branch, 29 August to 3 September; and reporting with original-document submission at the Help Center runs 29 August to 5 September, 12:00 noon. The Help Center works Monday-Friday, 10 AM-4 PM, and Saturday, 10 AM-12 PM, staying closed on Sundays and public holidays. Check medadmgujarat.org frequently for what follows. ACPUGMEC's published eligibility table for 2026-27 sets the NEET UG 2026 qualifying score at 213 for Open and EWS candidates, 194 for PwD candidates in the Open/EWS category, and 177 for SC, ST, SEBC and category-PwD candidates. For MBBS you must have passed Class 12 PCB with English. For BDS the Class 12 PCB requirement is 50% for Open/EWS, 45% for PwD Open/EWS and 40% for SC/ST/SEBC and category-PwD. Yes, all of them. ACPUGMEC states that the entire admission process for 100% of the seats in every medical and dental undergraduate college in Gujarat — Government Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota — is conducted on merit, online, solely by the committee. No college in Gujarat admits directly. Any offer of a Gujarat seat outside medadmgujarat.org is not a real offer. For Government and Management Quota, no. Gujarat's rules require that a candidate has passed both Class 10 and Class 12 from a school located in Gujarat, and is either born in Gujarat or holds Gujarat domicile. That closes those two quotas to a student schooled in the Northeast. NRI Quota is decided on inter-se merit by All India Overall Rank among NRI applicants, and OCI card holders are eligible following the Supreme Court judgment of 3 February 2023. In practice Gujarat is a route for NRI-sponsored candidates, not for the general out-of-state applicant — and we would rather tell you that now than after you have bought a PIN. Separately. ACPUGMEC has stated that registration for BAMS and BHMS admission is conducted independently, as per the schedule notified by the NCISM, NCH and the AYUSH Counselling Committee, New Delhi. Do not assume your MBBS/BDS registration on medadmgujarat.org covers AYUSH courses; it does not. ## Gujarat Has Hard Eligibility Rules. Check Before You Pay. Missed Round 1? You can still register this week. Send us your Class 10 and 12 school details, domicile and NEET UG 2026 score, and we will tell you in one call whether Gujarat is genuinely open to you — and if it is not, which window still is. --- # Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 — Round 1 Allotment Done, Freeze Deadline 5 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/uttarakhand-neet-counselling-2026.html # Uttarakhand NEET UG 2026 — Round 1 Allotment Complete, Freeze by 5 September State centralised counselling for MBBS and BDS.

Two older Uttarakhand dental college fee orders (Uttaranchal Dental & Medical Research Institute, Majri, and Seema Dental College, Rishikesh) exist from a 2018 state fee-fixation order but do not reflect current 2026-27 rates; we have not included them here rather than publish an eight-year-old figure as current. Source and scope. The Round 1 schedule comes from the official Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling Board notices for NEET UG 2026, published via the counselling portal linked from the university's website (hnbumu.ac.in): the original schedule (13 August 2026), the revised schedule issued 19 August 2026, the Provisional Result notice uploaded 27 August 2026, and the Board's Round-I Seat Allotment and Admission notice, uploaded 31 August 2026 and signed by the Member Secretary, which confirms allotment is complete and sets the 5:00 PM, 5 September 2026 admission deadline for Freeze-option candidates. HIMS fee data comes from the college's own submission to HNB Uttarakhand Medical Education University for the 2026-27 session. SGRR fee data comes from Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute's letter (Ref. SGRR/MC/NEET-UG/2026/-58975) to the university, dated 16 July 2026. All counselling notices state explicitly that later directions from the Government of India, MCC, NMC, NDC or the state government supersede anything printed here, and that no separate notification is sent to individual candidates. This page was last checked against those official notices on 1 September 2026; confirm every figure directly with the college and the university before any payment. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Registration, choice filling and fee submission ran from 13 August 2026, 11:00 AM, to 24 August 2026, 5:00 PM, after the counselling board extended the window by five days on 19 August. The provisional result came out 27 August, candidates had until 4:00 PM on 28 August to flag discrepancies, and by 31 August the board had finished Round I seat allotment on merit and submitted choices — it's final now, not provisional. If you chose the Freeze option, you must report to your allotted institute and complete admission by 5:00 PM, 5 September 2026 , or the allotment is cancelled. The Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling Board published a revised schedule on 19 August 2026 — the same day the original registration window was due to close — extending registration and choice filling by five days, to 24 August, and pushing the result and joining dates back accordingly (result from 22 to 27 August; joining deadline from 28 August to 5 September). Both the original and revised notices reserve the board's right to modify the schedule at any point, so treat any date on this page as subject to further change until you see it confirmed on the university's counselling portal. Any candidate eligible as per Uttarakhand Government norms who has qualified NEET UG 2026. The counselling board explicitly reserves the right to modify the schedule and apply the latest directions from the Government of India, MCC, NMC, NDC and the state government as they arrive — the notice states that whatever is uploaded most recently on the official university website overrides anything printed in the information bulletin. It varies sharply by college and quota. At Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), Dehradun, the Permanent Resident of Uttarakhand quota (30% of seats) is ₹18,00,000 a year; the remaining 70% of seats are ₹24,00,000 a year, with no NRI seats. At Shri Guru Ram Rai Institute of Medical & Health Sciences (SGRRIMHS), the Uttarakhand quota (25% of seats, with a 25% merit-based rebate already applied) is ₹18,00,000 a year, the All India Open Quota (75% of seats) is ₹24,00,000, and the NRI quota is USD 1,84,000 a year, inclusive of a USD 200 security component. Both figures are tuition only — see the fee tables below for the full breakdown. Not as of 1 September 2026. Both the original and the revised Round 1 notices state that the time schedule and detailed procedure for Round 2, Round 3 and the Stray Vacancy round will be notified separately on the university website. Treat this page as Round 1 only, and check back for later rounds rather than assuming a pattern from Round 1’s dates. Yes. The Counselling Board's notice, uploaded 31 August 2026, confirms Round I seat allotment for NEET UG 2026 Uttarakhand State Centralised Counselling is complete, worked out on merit and the choices candidates submitted. If you selected the Freeze option, you now need to report to your allotted institute and finish every admission formality — document verification, fee payment, whatever the college asks for — by 5:00 PM on 5 September 2026. The notice is blunt about what happens if you miss it: your allotment and admission get treated as cancelled. There's no mention of a grace period or an appeal route, so treat that deadline as final. Keep checking www.hnbumu.ac.in yourself; the Board doesn't send individual reminders. The notice is explicit that it is indicative only, and that candidates should read the full information bulletin for detailed information. It also states the counselling board reserves the right to modify the schedule at any point, and that no separate individual notification will be sent to candidates — you are expected to check the university website yourself. ## HIMS or SGRR — ₹18-24 Lakh a Year Either Way. Let's See Which Quota You Actually Qualify For. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and domicile state and we'll tell you honestly whether the Uttarakhand quota rate or the open quota rate applies to you, and how the two colleges compare for your budget. --- # Himachal Pradesh MBBS & BDS 2026 — AMRU Round 2 Schedule Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/himachal-pradesh-neet-counselling-2026.html # Himachal Pradesh MBBS and BDS Admission 2026-27 — AMRU's Round 2 Schedule Is Out Round 1 is complete — the Final Merit List, provisional and final seat allocation, and joining (1–3 September) all went ahead on AMRU's original dates. Atal Medical & Research University, Himachal Pradesh (AMRU) has now issued the Round 2 counselling schedule , dated 2 September 2026 (No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27 (MBBS/BDS)), again “subsequent to the revised schedule received from MCC, DGHS New Delhi.” Fresh online applications open 5–6 September, the 2nd round merit list and vacancy position publish 7 September, provisional allocation follows 11 September, final allocation 14 September, and joining runs 16–17 September.

AMRU's Controller of Examinations, Dr. Rajesh Kumar, issued the Round 2 schedule on 2 September 2026, again citing MCC's own revised national schedule as the trigger. | # | Activity | Date | |---|---|---| | 1 | Filling up fresh online counselling application form | 5 – 6 September 2026 | | 2 | Merit List of 2nd round counselling | 7 September 2026 | | 3 | Display of vacancy position for 2nd round | 7 September 2026 | | 4 | Filling and locking the choices of Course/College/Quota for 3rd round of counselling | 8 – 9 September 2026 | | 5 | 2nd Round Provisional seats Allocation | 11 September 2026 | | 6 | 2nd Round of Final seats Allocation | 14 September 2026 | | 7 | Date of joining the allotted college and course | 16 – 17 September 2026 | AMRU's note on this notice is the same as before: any change or subsequent round counselling schedule will be uploaded on www.amruhp.ac.in, so keep checking there rather than treating this table as unchangeable. Update, 7 September — the Provisional Seat Vacancy for 2nd Round is out, exactly on schedule (row 3 above). AMRU released the institute-wise, category-wise vacancy position for MBBS/BDS 2nd Round Counselling 2026 on 7 September 2026, breaking out HP Quota, Management Quota and NRI Quota seats separately for every participating college. The notice carries its own caution, worth repeating: some seats may become available due to upgradation or withdrawal by candidates during the round itself, so choices should be filled per your own preference rather than strictly by the displayed vacancy count. We have not reproduced the full multi-college table here — check your specific institute's numbers directly at www.amruhp.ac.in before filling choices. Round 1 · Complete Update, 3 September 2026 — the 1st Round admission deadline was extended by one day. AMRU's Endst. No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-5085-5098, dated 3 September 2026, states plainly: “the last date for admission to MBBS/BDS 1st Round of Counselling for the Academic Session 2026-27 has been extended up to 04.09.2026,” and that no further extension will be allowed beyond that date. If you were allotted a seat in Round 1 and hadn't yet completed admission by the original 3 September joining deadline, 4 September 2026 was your final chance — not a fresh window. Update, 28 August 2026 — the Provisional Seat Allocation list is out. AMRU released the Provisional Seat Allocation list for MBBS/BDS 1st round counselling on 27 August 2026, per Notice No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-4856. The notice is explicit that this allocation is provisional and indicative only: it can change, it gives you no enforceable right over the seat shown, and it cannot be challenged in court. If you're claiming any reserved-category or quota benefit, your certificates must already be valid, updated and in the exact format the Prospectus specifies — an outdated, invalid or missing document means you lose that category's benefit, full stop. And a provisional seat, even a correct one, doesn't confer admission by itself; AMRU's Admission Committee still has to verify your documents and approve final eligibility. Read this first. The notice we have covers only the 1st Round Counselling window — final merit list through to joining. It does not include the registration or application steps that led up to the merit list, nor does it state fees, eligibility or domicile rules. AMRU says plainly that any change or subsequent round counselling schedule will be uploaded on its website, and candidates should check www.amruhp.ac.in regularly until admission is complete. The short version. Atal Medical & Research University, Himachal Pradesh (AMRU) — the state government university based at SLBS Government Medical College & Hospital, Ner Chowk, Mandi — issued Notice No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-4760-4770 on 20 August 2026 , revising its 1st Round Counselling schedule “subsequent to the revised schedule received from MCC, DGHS New Delhi.” The Final Merit List of 1st round counselling publishes 21 August . Filling and locking the choices of course, college and quota runs 22 to 25 August . 1st Round Provisional seats Allocation is due 27 August , and the 1st Round of Final seats Allocation on 29 August . Candidates then join their allotted college and course between 1 and 3 September 2026 , a deadline AMRU extended by one more day to 4 September 2026 (Endst. No. -5085-5098, dated 3 September) — with no further extension allowed. AMRU states any change or later-round schedule will be published on www.amruhp.ac.in — check it regularly. Round 1 went ahead exactly as scheduled: Provisional Seat Allocation on 27 August, Final Allocation on 29 August, joining 1–3 September. Round 2, per AMRU's notice dated 2 September 2026: fresh online applications 5–6 September, 2nd round merit list and vacancy position 7 September, choice filling/locking for 3rd round 8–9 September, 2nd Round Provisional seats Allocation 11 September, 2nd Round Final seats Allocation 14 September, and joining 16–17 September 2026. ## Five Steps, Merit List to Joining | # | Activity | Date | |---|---|---| | 1 | Final Merit List of 1st round counselling | 21 August 2026 | | 2 | Filling and locking the choices of Course/College/Quota for 1st round of counselling | 22 August – 25 August 2026 | | 3 | 1st Round Provisional seats Allocation | 27 August 2026 — released, discrepancy window closes 5 PM 28 Aug | | 4 | 1st Round of Final seats Allocation | 29 August 2026 | | 5 | Date of joining the allotted college and course | 1 September – 3 September 2026 — admission deadline extended to 4 September 2026 | Provisional, then final — two separate allocation steps, two days apart. AMRU's schedule allocates seats twice: a provisional allocation on 27 August, then a final allocation on 29 August. Read the notice on your provisional allocation carefully — whatever change window or confirmation step sits between the two (the notice we have doesn't spell this out) is worth confirming directly with AMRU rather than assuming your provisional seat is automatically your final one. ## Fees, Eligibility and Domicile — Not Stated in This Notice This notice is a revised time schedule only — it does not state application fees, eligibility criteria, the number of seats or colleges covered, or whether Himachal Pradesh's state quota is open to candidates without HP domicile. As with most states, government-college state-quota seats are typically reserved for domicile holders, with the 15% All India Quota through MCC the route that stays open regardless of home state — but we have not seen AMRU's own domicile rule stated in writing, so treat that as a general pattern, not a confirmed HP-specific fact. The honest read for a Northeast India candidate. Without confirmed HP domicile eligibility, don't assume either way. Call AMRU directly at 01905-243967 or write to coemedicaluniv.mandi@gmail.com to confirm whether this state-quota round is open to you, or rely on the 15% All India Quota through MCC, which carries no domicile requirement.

The same notice records that, in compliance with the Hon'ble Supreme Court's order in Civil Appeal No. 2026 arising out of SLP (C) No. 18686 of 2023 — Sanjana Thakur & Others — the National Medical Commission has created one supernumerary MBBS seat at Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru Government Medical College, Chamba, allotted per that court order. This does not change the seat matrix for any other candidate. The notice also states plainly that the provisional allocation is indicative only, subject to change, cannot be claimed as a right, and cannot be challenged before a court of law — and that candidates claiming a reserved category or quota benefit must have valid, updated, correctly-formatted certificates as per the Prospectus, or forfeit that category's benefit.

AMRU's Endst. No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-5085-5098, dated 3 September 2026, states that the last date for admission to MBBS/BDS 1st Round of Counselling for the Academic Session 2026-27 has been extended up to 4 September 2026, and that all eligible candidates should complete admission formalities within that extended time limit. The notice is explicit that no further extension will be allowed beyond that date, so 4 September was the final chance for anyone allotted a Round 1 seat who had not yet completed admission. AMRU issued the Round 2 schedule on 2 September 2026, subsequent to MCC’s own revised national schedule. Fresh online counselling applications run 5 to 6 September. The 2nd round merit list and the vacancy position both publish 7 September. Filling and locking choices of Course/College/Quota for the 3rd round runs 8 to 9 September. The 2nd Round Provisional seats Allocation is due 11 September, the 2nd Round Final seats Allocation on 14 September, and joining the allotted college and course runs 16 to 17 September 2026. Round 1 is complete: its Provisional and Final Seat Allocations and joining (1–3 September) all went ahead exactly as originally scheduled. Atal Medical & Research University, Himachal Pradesh (AMRU) is the state government university, headquartered at the SLBS Government Medical College & Hospital campus, Ner Chowk, Mandi, that runs common/centralised counselling for MBBS and BDS admission in the state. Its notice No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-4760-4770, dated 20 August 2026, sets out a revised 1st Round Counselling schedule, issued “subsequent to the revised schedule received from MCC, DGHS New Delhi.” The Final Merit List of 1st round counselling publishes 21 August 2026. Filling and locking choices of course, college and quota runs 22 to 25 August. The 1st Round Provisional seats allocation is due 27 August, and the 1st Round of Final seats allocation on 29 August. Candidates then join their allotted college and course between 1 and 3 September 2026. All dates are from AMRU's own notice. No further revision has been issued. Checked again on 25 August 2026 — the closing date for filling and locking choices — against AMRU's own website and notice board: the Final Merit List was published exactly on schedule on 21 August, no subsequent notice has revised this timetable, and the 1st Round Provisional seats Allocation (27 August) and Final seats Allocation (29 August) dates stand unchanged. AMRU has stated it will upload any change directly to www.amruhp.ac.in, so keep checking there through the allocation and joining dates. Just this revised Round 1 window. The notice we have covers only the five steps from the final merit list through to joining, and states this schedule was revised specifically in response to MCC's own AIQ schedule change. It does not include the earlier registration or application steps that led up to the merit list, and it does not yet cover Round 2 or any later round. AMRU states plainly that any change or subsequent round counselling schedule will be uploaded on its website, and advises candidates to check www.amruhp.ac.in regularly until admission is complete. This notice doesn't state the eligibility or domicile rules for Himachal Pradesh's state quota seats — it covers dates only. As with most states, government-college state-quota seats are typically reserved for domicile holders, with the 15% All India Quota through MCC the route that stays open regardless of home state. Confirm HP's specific domicile and quota rules directly with AMRU or in its Information Bulletin before assuming either way. www.amruhp.ac.in. AMRU's notice states directly that any change or subsequent round counselling schedule shall be uploaded there, and advises candidates to remain in touch with the website regularly until the admission process is complete. The university can also be reached at 01905-243967 or coemedicaluniv.mandi@gmail.com. Yes. AMRU released the Provisional Seat Allocation list for MBBS/BDS 1st round counselling on 27 August 2026, per Notice No. AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-4856. Any discrepancy in your merit must be emailed to counselling.amruhp@gmail.com by 5:00 PM, 28 August 2026. The notice states this allocation is provisional and indicative only — it is subject to change, gives you no right over the allotted seat, and cannot be challenged before a court of law. AMRU's notice is direct on this: candidates claiming any reserved category or quota benefit must ensure every certificate and document is valid, updated and in the exact format specified in the Prospectus, prepared before the admission process begins. If a certificate is outdated, invalid or missing, the candidate loses entitlement to that category's benefit, with no exception stated. A confirmed provisional seat allotment does not by itself confer any right of admission either — final eligibility and category claims are subject to verification and approval by the concerned institute's Admission Committee. ## New to Himachal Pradesh Counselling?

KEA has now opened the Second Round Seat Allotment per a fresh Note carrying the same file number, dated 6 September 2026 : option entry runs 2:00 PM, 7 September to 2:00 PM, 9 September 2026 . It's open to Round 1 Choice-2/Choice-3 candidates, candidates not allotted any seat in Round 1, and UGCET Round 2 Choice-4 candidates with Medical/Dental options available. Provisional results and the Choice-4 window for this round will be announced later. Last verified · 6 September 2026 · against KEA Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, dated 6 September 2026 🦷 Separate process: KEA also runs PGET-2026 for PG Dental (MDS) — a postgraduate dental exam, not part of the MBBS/BDS/AYUSH counselling below. Registration, originally due 17 August, extended to 19 August by a revised KEA notice; document verification stage not yet announced. The short answer. Karnataka UGNEET 2026, run by the Karnataka Examinations Authority. Round 1 is complete: the final result was declared 28 August 2026 (Note No. ED/KEA/UGCET-UGNEET/2026), and the extended deadline for late-acting candidates — choices, Choice-1 fee payment and reporting — closed 5 September (Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, 3 September). KEA has now opened the Second Round Seat Allotment per a fresh Note carrying the same file number, dated 6 September 2026 : option entry runs 2:00 PM, 7 September to 2:00 PM, 9 September 2026 . Eligible candidates are those who selected Choice-2 or Choice-3 after the Round 1 result, those not allotted any seat in Round 1, and UGCET Round 2 Choice-4 candidates with Medical/Dental options still available in their list. Any seat held by a Round 1 Choice-2 candidate who upgrades in Round 2 becomes a virtual vacancy, offered to the next eligible candidate. Provisional results and the Choice-4 window for this round will be announced later. ## KEA UGNEET 2026 — Timeline So Far KEA gave you an extra few days — use them. A circular dated 4 August 2026 (No. ED/KEA/UGNEET-CR-11/2026) pushed the roll-number-linking deadline out to 7 August, and reopened new registration to UGNEET courses over the same window. Log in at cetonline.karnataka.gov.in and confirm your NEET UG 2026 roll number is linked to your KEA application. Candidates who appear on the score list but skip the linking step have been treated as ineligible for counselling in past cycles. It takes four minutes. The consequence of forgetting takes a year. ## Second Round Seat Allotment, Option Entry 7–9 September Breaking · KEA Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, dated 6 September 2026 UGNEET-2026 Second Round Seat Allotment — Provisional Results, Choice-4, Final Results. Three categories of candidates are eligible to participate: (a) after the Round 1 result, candidates who selected Choice-2 or Choice-3; (b) candidates not allotted any seat in Round 1; and (c) candidates who opted Choice-4 in the UGCET 2nd Round Seat Allotment, subject to Medical or Dental options being available in their entered options list. Option entry runs from 2:00 PM on 7 September to 2:00 PM on 9 September 2026. Candidates must compulsorily log in on or before the deadline, prioritise, save and submit their options, and preserve a printout of the final submission — KEA does not accept a late submission. | Stage | Date & time | |---|---| | Option entry, Second Round | 2:00 PM, 7 September – 2:00 PM, 9 September 2026 | | Virtual vacancies (Choice-2 seats from Round 1) published | Ongoing, as upgrades happen | | Provisional results | Date to be informed later | | Choice-4 selection window | Dates to be informed later | How virtual vacancies work. A seat held by a Round 1 Choice-2 candidate is displayed as a virtual vacancy. If that candidate upgrades to a better seat in Round 2, their Round 1 seat is vacated and offered to the next eligible candidate in Second Round — provided that candidate retained the relevant option in their list. KEA's advice is explicit: retain every option you would accept, regardless of what the current seat matrix shows, because seats can open up through this chain during processing. Choice-4 means exit. A candidate not interested in their provisionally allotted Second Round seat, or who has opted for an MCC-allotted seat or a seat in another state, can select Choice-4 to exit UGNEET counselling for this year. KEA is direct about the consequence: Choice-4 candidates will not be permitted again for allotment of seats in this cycle. On our sourcing. This is drawn directly from KEA's own Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, dated 6 September 2026 — the same file number as the 3 September extension notice below, reused for a new dated notice.

KEA's re-run of the first-round Medical/Dental allotment, following recent orders of the Hon'ble High Court, published its provisional result on 27 August, and the objection window (cutoff checked, or options entered but no seat allotted) closed at 8:00 PM the same day. Per its fresh Note dated 28 August 2026 , KEA has now declared the Round 1 Medical/Dental final result and opened the CHOICES selection portal (Choice-1, Choice-2, Choice-3, Choice-4) at 4:00 PM on 28 August , running until 11:59 PM, 2 September 2026 . Candidates selecting Choice-1 must pay fees online, during banking hours, and download their Seat Confirmation Slip between 11:00 AM, 29 August and 3 September 2026 , then report at their allotted college along with that slip by 6:00 PM, 4 September 2026 . KEA has directed all participating institutes and colleges to treat every Saturday, Sunday and gazetted holiday as a working day, given the limited time available for this schedule.

KEA's Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026 states that candidates who have not taken any action since the Round 1 final result can still select their Choice, pay fees, download the Seat Confirmation Slip and take admission — but only within the extended window: choice selection up to 2:00 PM, 4 September 2026 ; Choice-1 fee payment and Seat Confirmation Slip download up to 4:00 PM, 4 September 2026 (fees payable during banking hours); and reporting at the allotted college with the Seat Confirmation Slip up to 6:00 PM, 5 September 2026 .

Per Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, dated 6 September 2026, KEA opened option entry for the UGNEET-2026 Second Round Seat Allotment from 2:00 PM, 7 September to 2:00 PM, 9 September 2026. Eligible candidates are: (a) those who, after the Round 1 result, selected Choice-2 or Choice-3; (b) those not allotted any seat in Round 1; and (c) candidates who opted Choice-4 in the UGCET 2nd Round Seat Allotment, subject to Medical or Dental options being available in their entered list. As with Round 1, any seat held by a Round 1 Choice-2 candidate shows as a virtual vacancy, and a candidate who upgrades in Round 2 releases their Round 1 seat to the next eligible candidate. KEA has not yet announced the Provisional Results date or the Choice-4 window for this round — both are stated as ‘to be informed later’. Yes. Per Note No. ED/KEA/ADMN/CR-11/2026, dated 3 September 2026, KEA extended these deadlines for candidates who had not yet taken any action since the 28 August Round 1 final result: choice selection is now open to 2:00 PM, 4 September 2026; Choice-1 fee payment and Seat Confirmation Slip download (during banking hours) is open to 4:00 PM, 4 September 2026; and Choice-1 candidates must report at the allotted college with that slip by 6:00 PM, 5 September 2026. KEA's notice states plainly that a candidate who fails to select the appropriate choice will be treated as CHOICE-4 — not interested in the Round 1 seat — and will not be able to participate in subsequent rounds. KEA's Round 1 re-run objection window closed 8:00 PM, 27 August 2026. Per Note No. ED/KEA/UGCET-UGNEET/2026, dated 28 August 2026, KEA then declared the Round 1 Medical/Dental final result on 28 August 2026 and opened the CHOICES selection portal (Choice-1 to Choice-4) the same day at 4:00 PM, open until 11:59 PM, 2 September 2026. Choice-1 candidates pay fees and download their Seat Confirmation Slip from 11:00 AM, 29 August to 3 September 2026, and must report at the allotted college with that slip by 6:00 PM, 4 September 2026. KEA has directed all colleges to treat Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays as working days for this schedule. Keep checking cetonline.karnataka.gov.in and kea.kar.nic.in for each step. Per KEA Note No. ED/KEA/UGCET-UGNEET/2026, dated 28 August 2026: the Round 1 Medical/Dental final result was declared 28 August 2026, and the CHOICES selection portal (Choice-1, Choice-2, Choice-3, Choice-4) opened the same day at 4:00 PM, running until 11:59 PM, 2 September 2026. Candidates selecting Choice-1 must pay fees online, during banking hours, and download their Seat Confirmation Slip between 11:00 AM, 29 August and 3 September 2026. Choice-1 candidates then report at their allotted college, along with the Seat Confirmation Slip, by 6:00 PM, 4 September 2026. KEA's notice covers the schedule for Choice-1 in detail; it does not spell out separate deadlines for Choice-2/3/4 in the same notice, so confirm those directly on kea.kar.nic.in if they apply to you. All Saturdays, Sundays and gazetted holidays are treated as working days throughout this schedule. You may object only to a specific, verifiable error — your cutoff/eligibility being checked wrongly, or a case where you entered valid options but were not allotted any seat. Email keauthority-ka@nic.in with your justification by 8:00 PM, 27 August 2026. KEA's own Note states it will not entertain an objection where the real cause is that you did not enter options for that seat, and that no change of options is permitted at this stage — so an objection asking KEA to now consider an option you never filled will not be accepted. No. Candidates who already registered for UGCET-2026 do not file a fresh application. What they must do is link their NEET UG 2026 roll number to the existing CET application through the link on the KEA portal, now extended to 7 August 2026 by KEA's 4 August circular. Skipping that step can knock you out of the counselling entirely even though your registration is valid. KEA opened a fresh registration window on 17 July for candidates who had not registered under UGCET-2026, and extended the closing date to 30 July 2026. Its notification was explicit that no new registrations would be accepted for Round 2 or Round 3. The only later opportunity KEA normally provides is the Stray Vacancy Round, for which a separate schedule is announced. If you missed the window, look at states still open — Gujarat until 12 August and Puducherry until 6 August. KEA fills 100% of government seats in state medical and dental colleges, the government-quota share in private colleges — 40% under KPCF in medical and 35% in dental — plus NRI and other defined categories. The remaining 15% All India Quota seats in government colleges are filled separately by MCC. Karnataka has the largest MBBS seat count of any state in the country, which is why students from across the Northeast look at it every year. Not through the state domicile quota, which is reserved for Karnataka candidates. What is open to an out-of-state candidate is the management quota in private colleges, NRI category seats where a genuine NRI sponsor exists, and deemed university seats through MCC. Karnataka's private colleges have large, long-established Northeast student communities, which matters more than families expect when a seventeen-year-old is 3,000 km from home. ## Karnataka Is Big. Not Every Karnataka Seat Suits You. Fee, hostel, distance from Guwahati, and whether the college has an existing Northeast student community — we weigh all of it before recommending anything.

First Phase is complete (Provisional Allotment 25 August, Final Allotment 27 August, admission to 5 September). CEE has now commenced Second Phase allotment for State Quota seats in Government Colleges and seats in self-financing colleges: online option confirmation is mandatory by 11 September, 10:00 AM for candidates who want higher-order options considered, and for anyone with no First Phase allotment. Admitted candidates who wish to vacate their First Phase seat must do so by 10 September, 5:00 PM — but lose all further rounds by doing so.

CEE's Office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations has now commenced Second Phase allotment activities for the State Quota seats available in Government Colleges and the seats available in self-financing colleges. Online option confirmation is mandatory for candidates who want their higher-order options considered in this phase, and it is mandatory for those who have no allotment at all as per the First Phase — log in at www.cee.kerala.gov.in and confirm using the ‘confirm’ button on the home page; you can also rearrange or delete unwanted options/colleges/courses at the same time, till 11 September 2026, 10:00 AM . Candidates who do not confirm their options after First Phase admission keep whatever admission they already received, in the First Phase. Admitted candidates who wish to vacate the seat they received in First Phase can do so on or before 10 September 2026, 5:00 PM — but such candidates will then not be considered for any further round of centralised allotment. Anyone allotted a seat in this phase must take a printout of the allotment memo and remit the fee/balance fee before joining. Separately, Government Order G.O.(Ms)No.251/2026/H&FWD, dated 4 September 2026 , approved the 2026-27 seat matrix for three self-financing colleges — Azeezia Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (Meeyyannoor, Kollam), Dr. Mooppen’s Medical College and Hospital (Wayanad), and MES Medical College (Perinthalmanna). Candidates without a Kerala connection remain Non-Keralite Category II and can compete only for management and NRI seats in self-financing colleges. The single most important thing on this page. There is no separate “Kerala NEET counselling form”. Admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, BUMS and B.Sc Nursing in Kerala is processed through the KEAM application on cee.kerala.gov.in. Candidates who assumed a NEET-only form existed have lost entire cycles in Kerala. If you did not apply under KEAM 2026, and you did not use the reopened Medical and Allied window that closed at 11:00 AM on 27 July 2026, Kerala is closed to you for this session. ## Where the 2026 Cycle Has Reached ## Second Phase Allotment, Confirm Options by 11 September Breaking · KEAM 2026 — Second Phase Allotment, Facility for Option Confirmation/Registration The activities related to the Second Phase allotment to MBBS/BDS courses, for the State Quota seats available in Government Colleges and the seats available in Self Financing Colleges, have commenced.

Candidates who do not confirm their options after First Phase admission retain whatever admission they already received in the First Phase — confirmation is not required simply to keep what you already have. | Activity | Deadline | |---|---| | Online Option Confirmation — log in at www.cee.kerala.gov.in and click the ‘confirm’ button; options/colleges/courses can also be rearranged or deleted up to this point | 11 September 2026, 10:00 AM | | Last date for admitted candidates to vacate the seat received in First Phase allotment | 10 September 2026, 5:00 PM | Vacating your First Phase seat is a one-way door. The notice states plainly that candidates who vacate the seat received through First Phase allotment will not be considered for further rounds of centralised allotment to MBBS/BDS courses. Do not vacate a seat you are willing to live with on the hope of a better one appearing later in Second Phase — there is no route back in. Candidates who receive an allotment in this Second Phase must take a printout of their allotment memo and remit the fee/balance fee (if applicable), then join the course/college allotted. ## New Seat Matrix Approved — Three Self-Financing Colleges The Government's Health & Family Welfare (S) Department has approved the 2026-27 seat matrix for admission to the MBBS course in three self-financing medical colleges — Azeezia Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (Meeyyannoor, Kollam), Dr. Mooppen’s Medical College and Hospital (Wayanad), and MES Medical College (Perinthalmanna) — in continuation of earlier orders dated 10 August and 20 August 2026 and a Director of Medical Education letter dated 24 August 2026. | College | Code | Total seats | NRI seats | AIQ (irrespective of domicile) | Government seats (per SC order) | |---|---|---|---|---|---| | Azeezia Institute of Medical Sciences & Research, Meeyyannoor, Kollam | AZC | 50 | 8 | 8 | 34 | | Dr. Mooppen’s Medical College and Hospital, Wayanad | DMM | 100 | 15 | 15 | 70 | | MES Medical College, Perinthalmanna | EMC | 50 | 7 | 7 | 11 (plus a 25-seat community column) | Read the source PDF for the exact column basis before you rely on these figures for a specific seat. Our scanned copy of this order has a digital-signature stamp overlapping part of the table header, and the MES Medical College row carries an extra 25-seat community-quota figure the other two colleges do not show — consistent with MES not claiming full minority status the way Azeezia and Dr. Mooppen’s do, but we have not independently confirmed that reading against the clean G.O. text. The totals do add up correctly for each row. Treat the college/code/total-seats columns as solid, and confirm the exact quota-percentage wording on the order itself, available through the Directorate of Medical Education, before you act on a specific seat count. ## First Phase Allotment — Every Date, Start to Admission CEE Kerala's original notification of 15 August covered MBBS and BDS together, for every candidate on the State Medical Rank List except NRI quota seats . On 20 August, CEE rescheduled this entire timeline “as per the revised MCC schedule” — and on that revised schedule, First Phase Provisional Allotment is out today. | Date | What happens | |---|---| | 15 August 2026 | Website opens for registration to MBBS/BDS courses at cee.kerala.gov.in (closed) | | 24 August 2026, 11:00 AM | Closure of online option registration/deletion/re-arrangement — last moment to submit fresh or revised options (closed) | | 25 August 2026 | First Phase Provisional Allotment published — out today | | 26 August 2026, by 6:00 PM | Last date to submit any complaint on the Provisional Allotment — by email only | | 27 August 2026 | First Phase Final Allotment published — upcoming | | 28 August – 5 September 2026, 4:00 PM | Candidates allotted a seat must remit the fee shown in the allotment memo and take admission at the college | | 5 September 2026, 5:00 PM | College authorities approve and send the list of admitted candidates through OAMS | Spot an error in your Provisional Allotment? Email a complaint by 26 August, 6:00 PM. CEE has set an email-only complaint window for the First Phase Provisional Allotment, closing 26 August 2026 at 6:00 PM — before the Final Allotment is published the next day. If your allotted seat, category or any other detail looks wrong, raise it within this window; there is no complaint route stated for after the Final Allotment is out. Withheld-result candidates could still register, but with a catch. The 20 August notice explicitly allowed candidates whose results had been withheld for various reasons to register their online options too. But those options were not considered for allotment unless the candidate produced the required documents to clear the defect and release their rank before 3:00 PM on 23 August 2026 — a full day before the general option-registration closed. New this round — 15% AIQ seats in private dental colleges, and PIMS Palakkad. The same 20 August notice opened option registration for the 15% All India Quota seats in self-financing dental colleges, available irrespective of domicile, and added Palakkad Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Palakkad to this allotment phase for MBBS — provisional annual fee ₹8,98,800 (General Category) and ₹21,65,720 (NRI Category). This ran on the same rescheduled dates above. Allotment to these seats is subject to Government approval. Two clauses that decide outcomes, not just paperwork. The option-registration fee is non-refundable regardless of what you're allotted. And if CEE allots you a seat against an option you registered, you are bound to accept it — refuse it, and you lose that allotment together with every remaining option in the stream, permanently. Register options only for colleges you would genuinely join, in the order you would genuinely accept them. CEE's rescheduling notice is itself framed as tracking the national MCC calendar — Kerala's state-quota allotment pace moves with MCC's own Round 1 timeline. Confirm the live date on cee.kerala.gov.in before you plan travel for reporting. ## Applying Under KEAM Wasn't the Last Step — You Still Have to Submit Your NEET Result Even if you already applied under KEAM 2026 and qualified in NEET (UG)-2026, that application alone does not build your rank list. The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations has opened a separate, mandatory online step: submitting your NEET (UG)-2026 result details directly, so CEE can prepare the State rank lists for Medical and Medical Allied courses. The deadline has no flexibility built in. The online facility at cee.kerala.gov.in closes 10 August 2026, 12:00 noon . Candidates who do not submit their NEET result within this window will not be considered for the rank list at all, for any Medical or Medical Allied course — and the notice is explicit that there is no opportunity to submit the mark details later under any circumstances. This is not a soft deadline you can catch up on in Round 2. ### How to Submit The course list is wider than most people assume. This same rank-list process now explicitly covers Ayurveda (BAMS), Homoeopathy (BHMS), Siddha (BSMS), Unani (BUMS), and a long list of allied courses — Agriculture (BSc Agri), Forestry (BSc Forestry), Veterinary (BVSc & AH), Fisheries (BFSc), BSc Co-operation & Banking, BSc Agri Business Management, BSc Horticulture, integrated BSc-MSc Biology/Microbiology, BSc Climate Change & Environmental Science, and B.Tech Biotechnology under KAU. If any of these interest you as a fallback to MBBS/BDS, the same 10 August submission covers your eligibility for all of them at once. ## Which Category You Fall In Decides What You Can Compete For | Category | Who It Covers | Government Seats | Private Colleges | Reservation | |---|---|---|---|---| | Keralite | Kerala nativity holders | Yes | Yes, all quotas | Yes — SEBC, SC, ST | | Non-Keralite I (NK-I) | Defined Kerala connection, e.g. wards of certain personnel posted in the state | Limited, per prospectus | Yes | No community reservation | | Non-Keralite II (NK-II) | Everyone else, including all Northeast India candidates without a Kerala link | No | Management and NRI quota in self-financing colleges only | No | The practical takeaway for an Assam or NE family. Kerala's government medical colleges are excellent and their fees are low, and neither of those facts is available to you through state counselling. Your two real doors into a Kerala government college are the 15% All India Quota, filled by MCC, and nothing else. In private self-financing colleges you compete under management or NRI quota, at management or NRI fees. Anyone telling you otherwise has not read the prospectus. NRI quota applicants: the document-defect correction window has closed. A CEE notification dated 20 August 2026 gave candidates who applied under NRI Quota (KEAM-2026) a window to check their application for defects and correct them — through the KEAM 2026 Candidate Portal at cee.kerala.gov.in, using their Application Number and Password, under the “Memo Details” menu on the profile page. Any defect shown there had to be fixed by uploading valid documents by 5:00 PM on 22 August 2026 . CEE was explicit that no printout of documents or certificates sent to its office would be considered for any reservation or claim — correction happened only through the portal upload. Update, 3 September — the Final NRI Category List is out. CEE published the Final NRI Category List for MBBS/BDS admission 2026 on www.cee.kerala.gov.in (Ref. CEE/404/2026-TA4 I/723922/2026, dated 3 September 2026), confirming which applicants are finally eligible for NRI reservation after the document-defect correction window closed 22 August. If you applied under NRI quota, check your name and status on this Final Category List directly at cee.kerala.gov.in — being on the earlier defect-correction list does not by itself confirm your final eligibility. ## A Structure Unlike Any Other State Kerala runs a 60% state merit pool, a 30% SEBC block, 8% SC and 2% ST for government and government-aided professional colleges. The SEBC block is the unusual part: it is not one queue but a set of community-specific sub-quotas, each with its own allocation and its own closing rank. A candidate claiming SEBC must pick the correct sub-category and hold the matching community certificate, or the claim fails at verification. All of it applies only to Kerala nativity candidates. Non-domicile applicants, whatever their category elsewhere in India, compete in the unreserved pool. ## Documents CEE Will Demand ## The Official Notices Behind This Page Checked against CEE Kerala's published counselling calendar and Second Phase notices at cee.kerala.gov.in, on 7 September 2026. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against CEE Kerala's published counselling calendar at cee.kerala.gov.in, cross-checked across independent sources, on 25 August 2026, and rechecked 7 September 2026 against the Second Phase Option Confirmation notice and the new self-financing-college seat matrix order. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us The Office of the Commissioner for Entrance Examinations has commenced Second Phase allotment activities for MBBS/BDS, covering State Quota seats in Government Colleges and seats in self-financing colleges. Online option confirmation is mandatory if you want your higher-order options considered in this phase, and it is also mandatory if you received no allotment at all in the First Phase — log in at www.cee.kerala.gov.in and click ‘confirm’ on the home page; you can rearrange or delete unwanted options at the same time, till 11 September 2026, 10:00 AM. If you already have a First Phase admission and do not confirm, you simply keep that admission — confirmation is only needed to be considered for something better in Second Phase. Admitted candidates who wish to vacate their First Phase seat can do so on or before 10 September 2026, 5:00 PM, but doing so removes them from every further round of centralised allotment. No, and this catches out more out-of-state candidates than any other rule in the country. Kerala has no standalone medical counselling application. MBBS, BDS and AYUSH admission runs entirely through the KEAM application — the same application used for engineering, architecture and pharmacy. If you did not submit a KEAM application, your NEET UG 2026 score cannot be used in Kerala, however high it is. CEE reopened applications for Medical and Medical Allied courses. Candidates who had not applied under KEAM 2026 could file a fresh application; candidates who had already applied for engineering, architecture or pharmacy could simply add Medical and Allied courses to the existing application. That window closed at 11:00 AM on 27 July 2026. The medical rank list followed, published 13 August 2026 per CEE's schedule, and the Centralised Allotment Process is now underway — First Phase Provisional Allotment is out 25 August 2026, with Final Allotment due 27 August. Kerala sorts applicants into three groups. Keralites hold Kerala nativity and compete for everything, including reservation. Non-Keralite Category I (NK-I) covers a narrow set of candidates with a qualifying Kerala connection, such as children of certain central government or defence personnel posted in the state. Non-Keralite Category II (NK-II) is everyone else — and NK-II candidates are restricted to management and NRI quota seats in self-financing colleges. A student from Assam or Manipur with no Kerala connection is NK-II. Not through Kerala state counselling. Government college seats under the state pool go to Kerala nativity candidates, and reservation categories — the 60% state merit pool, the 30% SEBC block with its community sub-quotas, 8% SC and 2% ST — apply only to Kerala domicile students. The route that is genuinely open to an out-of-state candidate is the 15% All India Quota in Kerala government colleges, which is filled by MCC, not by CEE. Roughly 5,155 MBBS seats and 2,077 BDS seats across government and private colleges participate in CEE Kerala counselling. Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi is the state's only deemed university offering MBBS, and deemed seats are filled through MCC rather than CEE. Seat counts move each year with NMC approvals, so treat these as indicative until CEE publishes the 2026 matrix. Yes. A notification dated 6 August 2026 opened a separate, mandatory online facility at cee.kerala.gov.in for candidates to submit their NEET (UG)-2026 result details, required to prepare the State rank lists for Medical and Medical Allied courses. This closes 10 August 2026 at 12:00 noon. Candidates who do not submit within this window will not be considered for the rank list under any circumstances, even if their original KEAM application was otherwise complete — there is no later opportunity to submit. CEE's notification of 15 August 2026 originally opened online option registration the same day, with options closing 20 August. On 20 August 2026, CEE issued a reschedule notice, “as per the revised MCC schedule”: option registration/deletion/re-arrangement was open until 24 August 2026, 11:00 AM. Based on options received by that time, First Phase Provisional Allotment was published 25 August 2026. Any complaint about that Provisional Allotment must be emailed to CEE by 26 August 2026, 6:00 PM, and First Phase Final Allotment is due 27 August 2026. Candidates who receive a seat must remit the fee shown in the allotment memo and take admission between 28 August and 5 September 2026, by 4:00 PM, and colleges submit the admitted list through OAMS by 5 September, 5:00 PM. Candidates whose results were withheld could also register options, but those options were not considered for allotment unless the defect was cleared and the rank released before 3:00 PM on 23 August 2026. A separate CEE notification, also dated 20 August 2026, opened option registration for the 15% All India Quota seats in self-financing (private) dental colleges, open to candidates irrespective of Kerala domicile. The same notification adds Palakkad Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Palakkad to this phase of allotment for MBBS courses, with a provisional annual fee of ₹8,98,800 for General Category candidates and ₹21,65,720 for NRI Category candidates. This option-registration window followed the same revised schedule: closed 24 August 2026, 11:00 AM. First Phase Provisional Allotment is out 25 August 2026, with Final Allotment due 27 August. Full fee and eligibility detail is in CEE's notification dated 15 August 2026 at cee.kerala.gov.in. CEE's notification dated 20 August 2026 gives NRI quota applicants a window to verify and rectify document defects. Log into the KEAM 2026-Candidate Portal at cee.kerala.gov.in with your Application Number and Password, open your profile page, and click ‘Memo Details’ to see any defect flagged in your uploaded NRI documents. Rectify it by uploading a valid document through the same portal, before 5:00 PM on 22 August 2026 . CEE states explicitly that printouts of documents or certificates sent to its office will not be considered for any reservation or claim — correction is portal-only. ## Kerala Has Strict Rules. We Will Tell You If You Qualify. Fifteen minutes on the phone can save your family a wasted registration fee and a wasted month. Send us your domicile and NEET UG 2026 score and we will tell you plainly whether Kerala is worth pursuing. --- # Tamil Nadu MBBS BDS Counselling 2026 — Round 2 Schedule Out Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/tamil-nadu-neet-counselling-2026.html # Tamil Nadu MBBS & BDS Counselling 2026 — Tentative Round 2 Schedule Published Round 1 is complete — the result was declared 27 August and reporting closed 5 September. The Selection Committee has now published a Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule (Re-Allotment/Allotment) covering Government and Management Quota, including NRI, seats: registration and payment 7–8 September , choice filling and locking 9–13 September , result 15 September , and joining by 18 September 2026 . What the full schedule looks like, and where a non-domicile candidate fits. Last verified · 6 September 2026 · against the Selection Committee's Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule and official counselling portals ## Round 2, the Full Re-Allotment/Allotment Schedule Breaking · Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule, published by the Selection Committee The Selection Committee has published a Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule for admission to MBBS & BDS degree courses in Tamil Nadu Government Medical & Dental Colleges, ESIC Medical College K.K. Nagar Chennai, and Government & Management Quota (including NRI) seats in self-financing medical colleges (including Christian Medical College, Vellore) and dental colleges, state private universities, and Wards of IRT candidates — for Re-Allotment/Allotment in the 2026-2027 session. Registration and payment (for candidates who have not already paid) runs 7–8 September ; the rank range on this table is GQ GR001–GR35926 (NEET marks 705–177) and MQ GR001–GR26956 (NEET marks 693–177). Choice filling and locking follows 9–13 September . | Round | Process | Date & time from | Date & time to | |---|---|---|---| | II | Registration & Payment (if not already paid) | 07-09-2026, 10:00 AM | 08-09-2026, 05:00 PM | | Choice Filling & Locking | 09-09-2026, 02:00 PM | 13-09-2026, 02:00 PM | | | Process | Date & time | |---|---| | Processing of Virtual Vacancies | 09-09-2026 | | Processing of Seat Allotment | 14-09-2026 | | Publication of Result | 15-09-2026 | | Downloading the Provisional Allotment Order | 15-09-2026 to 18-09-2026, 03:00 PM | | Last Date of Joining | 18-09-2026, 05:00 PM | On our sourcing. The Selection Committee's own document is titled “Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule” — the word tentative is theirs, not ours, so treat every date here as subject to revision. We have not yet located a notification number or issue date printed on this schedule; confirm the current status directly on tnmedicalselection.net before you act on any date. ## Round 1, for the Record Round 1 registration, choice filling and choice locking closed at 5:00 PM on 24 August 2026, after the Selection Committee, DME Kilpauk, Chennai, extended the window a second time, citing the revised UG State Schedule 2026 released by MCC of DGHS on 19 August 2026 — a second extension in three days, superseding the 20 August deadline set by Notification No.17/SCS1(1)/2026 on 18 August. Because choice filling ran later, the seat allotment result — originally scheduled for 21 August under the pre-extension timetable — was also pushed back: allotment processed 25 and 26 August, and the result was published 27 August , six days later than first planned. Allotment orders were downloadable from 27 August through 5 September, 12:00 noon, and the last date to report for Round 1 was 5 September 2026, 5:00 PM. That cycle is now complete; Round 2 above is the current, open cycle. | Stage | Date & time | |---|---| | Register, fill and lock choices | Closed 5:00 PM, 24 August 2026 | | Seat allotment processing | 25 – 26 August 2026 | | Result published (postponed from 21 Aug) | 27 August 2026 | | Allotment order download window | 27 August – 5 September 2026, 12:00 noon | | Last date to report, Round 1 | 5 September 2026, 5:00 PM | Provisional rank lists were released 12 August 2026, with special-category (PWD, Sports, Ex-servicemen and the 7.5% government-school quota) allotments on 14 August, and addendums to the rank lists, following court orders, continued through 24 August 2026. 🦷 Looking for Tamil Nadu MDS? That’s a separate postgraduate dental process, not this MBBS/BDS page. The state application window closed 22 July 2026; MDS rank lists were released 21 August with addendums on 24 August, and a grievance portal for ineligible candidates has been open since 17 August — MCC’s All India Quota MDS route is also still open. The short answer. Tamil Nadu MBBS and BDS counselling 2026 is run by the Selection Committee under the Directorate of Medical Education. Round 1 is complete: choice filling closed 24 August, the result was declared 27 August, and reporting closed 5 September. The Selection Committee has now published a Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule for Government and Management Quota (incl. NRI) seats: registration and payment 7–8 September , choice filling and locking 9–13 September , seat allotment processing 14 September, result published 15 September , provisional allotment order download to 18 September (3 PM), and last date of joining 18 September 2026 (5 PM) . The Selection Committee's own document calls this schedule tentative, so confirm every date on tnmedicalselection.net. Out-of-state candidates compete on the Management Quota list only. ## Where Tamil Nadu Has Reached ## Find Out Which Rank List Carries Your Name ### Government Quota list Seats in Tamil Nadu government medical and dental colleges plus the government share in self-financing colleges. Reserved for candidates meeting the state's eligibility and nativity conditions. The lowest fees and the highest closing marks. ### 7.5% Government School quota list A horizontal reservation for NEET-qualified candidates who did their schooling in Tamil Nadu government schools, with its own documentation and its own merit order. Independent of caste category. ### Management Quota list Seats in private self-financing medical and dental colleges, allotted on NEET merit among registered applicants. This is the list where a candidate from Assam, Meghalaya or Manipur realistically competes. ### Tamil Nadu 2026 — Which List Applies to You | Rank list | Who competes | Colleges covered | Open to non-domicile? | |---|---|---|---| | Government Quota | Tamil Nadu candidates meeting state eligibility and nativity conditions | Government medical and dental colleges, plus the government share in self-financing colleges | No | | 7.5% Government School quota | NEET-qualified candidates schooled in Tamil Nadu government schools | Same as government quota, under horizontal reservation | No | | Management Quota | All registered applicants, on NEET merit | Private self-financing medical and dental colleges | Yes | | 15% All India Quota | All India candidates, on All India Rank | Tamil Nadu government colleges, filled by MCC | Yes | ## From Rank List to Joining Report ### Provisional rank lists published Downloadable PDFs on tnmedicalselection.net, issued separately for government quota, the 7.5% quota and management quota. Objections, if invited, have a very short window. ### Choice filling and locking Online, against the published seat matrix. Order your choices by where you would actually go, not by reputation alone — an allotment you refuse still has consequences for later rounds. ### Provisional and final allotment The Selection Committee processes allotment and publishes a provisional result, then a final result, usually within a day or two of each other. The allotment order is downloaded from the portal. ### Reporting and joining Report to the allotted college with originals by the notified last date of joining. In recent cycles that has been about a week after the final allotment — not enough time to arrange travel from the Northeast at the last minute. Plan the trip while choices are still open. ## The Official Notices Behind This Page Checked against tnmedicalselection.net on 6 September 2026.

We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## MCC's New Freeze/Float System — Tamil Nadu Isn't Using It This Year MCC has updated its own All India Quota counselling scheme for 2026-27 with three changes: candidates are now sorted into Freeze (no further upgradation) and Float (open to upgrading in later rounds) categories; Float candidates go through online document verification by the allotted institute rather than reporting in person straight away; and seat surrender or resignation now runs through a digital workflow on the MCC portal. None of that is new to Tamil Nadu's own state counselling. The Selection Committee, Directorate of Medical Education and Research, already runs a centralised document verification system — certificates are scrutinised when you apply, with physical verification only at the point of joining. Resignation has been digital-only for a while, done strictly through tnmedicalselection.net, with offline resignation not accepted at all. And upgrading from Round 1 to Round 2, or Round 2 to Round 3, is already built into the state prospectus. What Notification No.10/SCS1(1)/2026 actually says. For the current academic session, 2026-27, the Selection Committee is retaining its existing state policy and procedures. Every admission — Government Quota, Management Quota, Minority and NRI seats in MBBS and BDS — continues to follow Government Orders G.O.(D) No.667 and G.O.(D) No.695 and the clauses already published in the State Prospectus. The notice adds that any future alignment with MCC's national framework will only happen in a later year, and only with advance notice. If you are applying through Tamil Nadu state counselling, this notice changes nothing about what you actually have to do. It exists because families were seeing “Freeze/Float” mentioned in national NEET news and asking whether it applied to their Tamil Nadu application. It does not, at least not this year. ## Questions Parents Ask Us The Selection Committee has published a Tentative Round-II Counselling Schedule (Re-Allotment/Allotment, 2026-2027 session) covering Government Medical & Dental Colleges, ESIC Medical College K.K. Nagar, and Government & Management Quota (including NRI) seats in self-financing medical colleges (including Christian Medical College, Vellore), dental colleges, state private universities and Wards of IRT candidates. Registration and payment (for those who have not already paid) runs 7–8 September 2026; choice filling and locking runs 9–13 September 2026; virtual vacancies are processed 9 September; seat allotment is processed 14 September; the result publishes 15 September; the provisional allotment order can be downloaded 15–18 September (3 PM); and the last date of joining is 18 September 2026 (5 PM). The schedule is explicitly marked tentative by the Selection Committee itself, and we have not yet located a notification number or issue date printed on this document, so confirm every date on tnmedicalselection.net before you act on it. Yes, twice. Notification No.17/SCS1(1)/2026, dated 18 August 2026, first extended Round 1 registration, choice filling and choice locking together to 5:00 PM on 20 August 2026, following MCC's own extension of All India Quota counselling under Ref. U-11011/07/2026-MEC, dated 17 August 2026. Then Notification No.20/SCS1(1)/2026, dated 20 August 2026, revised the schedule again citing MCC's revised UG State Schedule of 19 August 2026, and pushed registering, filling and locking choices to 5:00 PM on 24 August 2026. Seat allotment now processes 25 and 26 August, and the result — originally scheduled for 21 August before these extensions — now publishes 27 August; allotment orders can be downloaded 27 August to 5 September (12:00 noon), and the last date to report for Round 1 is 5 September 2026, 5:00 PM. The Selection Committee under the Directorate of Medical Education opened online registration on 29 June 2026 at tnmedicalselection.net. By 17 July more than 41,000 completed applications had been received, and the registration window has since closed. Provisional rank lists followed on 12 August, Round 1 choice filling and locking closed on 24 August after two extensions, and the seat allotment result — originally due 21 August — is now postponed to 27 August. See the extension notice above for the full current schedule. Because it runs three parallel selection streams and each needs its own merit order: a Government Quota list, a Management Quota list, and a list for the 7.5% reservation for students who studied in Tamil Nadu government schools. A candidate can appear on more than one list. Check which list carries your name before you plan your choices — families regularly track the wrong one. Tamil Nadu reserves 7.5% of MBBS and BDS seats for candidates who studied in Tamil Nadu government schools and qualified NEET. It is a state-specific horizontal reservation with its own eligibility documentation and its own rank list. It is not available to candidates schooled outside Tamil Nadu, and it is not related to caste category. For the government quota, no — those seats go to Tamil Nadu candidates meeting the state's eligibility and nativity conditions. The management quota rank list is the route that is open to out-of-state candidates in private medical and dental colleges, and there is also the 15% All India Quota in Tamil Nadu government colleges, filled by MCC. Tamil Nadu's private colleges are well regarded and heavily subscribed, so budget and rank realism both matter here. tnmedicalselection.net is the operative portal, with tnhealth.tn.gov.in carrying departmental notices. Rank lists are published as downloadable PDFs. The Selection Committee has historically issued round schedules at short notice — in 2024 the gap between the provisional rank list and the start of choice filling was two days — so once the rank list appears, check the portal daily. No. Notification No.10/SCS1(1)/2026, dated 3 August 2026, confirms Tamil Nadu is retaining its existing state counselling policy for 2026-27 — the Freeze/Float categorisation, online Float verification and digital seat-surrender workflow are changes to MCC's own All India Quota process, not to Tamil Nadu's state counselling. Government Quota, Management Quota, Minority and NRI admissions continue under G.O.(D) No.667 and G.O.(D) No.695 and the published State Prospectus. ## Tamil Nadu Moves Fast Once the Rank List Drops. We track the portal daily during allotment season and call our registered students the day a schedule appears. Tell us your rank and we will tell you which Tamil Nadu colleges are realistic and what they will cost in total. --- # Telangana MBBS & BDS 2026 — BDS Round 1 Allotment, Report by 11 Sept Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/telangana-neet-counselling-2026.html # Telangana MBBS and BDS Admission 2026-27 — BDS Round 1 Allotment Out, Management Quota Ineligible List Published Competent Authority Quota (government-linked seats) Round 1 allotment is now out for both MBBS and BDS — the BDS allotment specifically requires reporting at the allotted college by 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM . Separately, under Management Quota (private colleges), KNRUHS has published a list of candidates found ineligible from the window that reopened 2–4 September; any grievance against this list must reach KNRUHS by 9 September 2026, 12:00 Noon . The cut-off table matches the national NEET figures exactly. What doesn't match is who can actually apply — Telangana runs a strict local-area rule most outstation families miss until it's too late. Last verified · 7 September 2026 · against the BDS Round 1 Allotment reporting notice and the Management Quota Ineligible Candidates List, both from knruhs.telangana.gov.in Breaking · Government Quota (Competent Authority Quota) — BDS Round 1 Allotment The BDS Round 1 allotment under Competent Authority Quota is out, and the reporting deadline is confirmed. This follows the same Round 1 process already reported on this page — provisional merit list 24 August, final merit list 28 August, web options 29 August to 1 September — and now specifically confirms the BDS allotment result and its reporting window. Last date of reporting at the allotted college is 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM. Check your individual allotment status at tsmedadm.tsche.in; this reporting deadline is confirmed for BDS. We have not independently confirmed whether the MBBS Round 1 reporting deadline under the same allotment is identical or separate — verify your own course's reporting window on the portal before you travel. Breaking · Management Quota — Ineligible Candidates List KNRUHS has published an Ineligible Candidates List for Management Quota, following the 2–4 September reopened registration window. If your name appears on this list, check the stated reason directly on the notification at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in — do not wait for a phone call or an email. Any grievance regarding the Ineligible Candidates List can be sent on or before 9 September 2026, 12:00 Noon — there is no stated route to raise it after that window closes. Breaking · KNRUHS Management Quota reopening notification, 01.09.2026 Management Quota B & C/NRI registration is open again, 2 to 4 September. Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Telangana, in continuation of its earlier notification dated 12.08.2026, has reopened online registration for MBBS/BDS admission under Management Quota in Private Medical & Dental Colleges affiliated to KNRUHS, and at Neelima Institute of Medical Sciences (affiliated to Anurag University). That registration had closed on 20.08.2026; it is reopened from 6:00 AM on 2 September 2026 up to 2:00 PM on 4 September 2026 , at https://tspvtmedadm.tsche.in , in view of several requests received from candidates. Candidates who have qualified NEET UG 2026 by securing the cut-off score or above are informed to submit their online applications for MBBS/BDS admission under Management Quota within this window. Candidates who have already submitted their applications need not register again. For other details, KNRUHS refers candidates back to its earlier notification and prospectus, displayed on the KNRUHS website on 12.08.2026. Breaking · KNRUHS final merit list & web-options notification, in continuation of 04.08.2026, 24.08.2026 & 28.08.2026 Final merit list is out — web options are open now, 29 August to 1 September. Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Telangana, notifies the conduct of the first phase of web-based counselling for admission into MBBS courses under Competent Authority Quota into Government, Private un-aided Non-Minority & Minority medical colleges affiliated to KNRUHS, for AY 2026-27. Candidates whose certificates were uploaded at registration and provisionally verified, and whose names are notified as eligible in the final merit list of UG Medical admissions published on the KNRUHS website on 28 August 2026 , are eligible to exercise web options online. This covers all eligible candidates in the final merit list, including PWD, PMC, CAP and SCCL categories and EWS quota candidates. Web options window: from 6:00 AM on 29 August 2026 up to 12:00 Noon on 1 September 2026 , through https://tsmedadm.tsche.in/ . For eligibility criteria and regulations, KNRUHS refers candidates back to its notification dated 04.08.2026. University fee: allotted candidates pay Rs 12,000 (Rupees Twelve Thousand only) for the MBBS course through the payment gateway, using Debit Card, Credit Card or Internet Banking, and then download the allotment order. If a payment failure is followed by a successful payment (a double payment), submit a representation for refund of the failed/duplicate payment only by email to knruhs.doublepayments@gmail.com . On verification, any amount received through the failed or duplicate transaction is refunded to the candidate's bank account by the due procedure, but only after the closure of admissions. Update, 5 September — the Competent Authority Quota (government-linked seats) Round 1 allotment result has been uploaded on the KNRUHS/tsmedadm.tsche.in portal, following the 29 August–1 September web-options window. Check your individual allotment status directly at tsmedadm.tsche.in. Update, 7 September — the BDS Round 1 allotment's reporting deadline is now confirmed: report at your allotted college by 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM . We have not independently confirmed the MBBS reporting deadline under this same allotment, so verify it directly on the portal before travelling. Superseded · KNRUHS provisional merit list notification, 24.08.2026 Provisional merit list and ineligible-candidates list are out for Competent Authority Quota. KNRUHS, Warangal, released the provisional state merit list, along with a separate list of candidates found ineligible, for MBBS and BDS admission under Competent Authority Quota, 2026-27, based on the registrations and scanned certificates submitted at tsmedadm.tsche.in . Both lists are published on the KNRUHS website. If your name appears on the ineligible list, check the stated reason directly on the notification — do not wait for a phone call or an email, and raise any objection within the window KNRUHS specifies rather than after it closes. This follows the Competent Authority Quota registration window, which was reopened from 2:00 PM on 18 August 2026 and closed, along with the separate Management Quota B & C/NRI registration, at 6:00 PM on 20 August 2026. The Competent Authority Quota portal remains closed and has moved on to the merit-list and eligibility stage described here; the Management Quota portal, however, has since reopened again from 2 to 4 September — see the update above. Update · KNRUHS reopening notification, 18.08.2026 — registration now closed Competent Authority Quota registration reopened 18 August and closed 20 August. KNRUHS, Warangal, issued a notification dated 18.08.2026, signed by the Registrar, in continuation of its earlier notification dated 04.08.2026, reopening online registration for MBBS/BDS admission under Competent Authority Quota. The window that had closed on 12.08.2026 was reopened from 2:00 PM on 18 August 2026 up to 6:00 PM on 20 August 2026 , at the same portal as before: tsmedadm.tsche.in . This was explicitly for candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026 at or above the cut-off and had not yet registered. Candidates who had already submitted their applications did not need to register again. One point is worth flagging honestly rather than glossing over: the 18 August reopening notice describes Competent Authority Quota as covering admissions in “Government, Private Medical & Dental Colleges” affiliated to KNRUHS — broader than how the original 4 August notification is characterised elsewhere on this page as government-seat only. We haven't been able to independently reconcile that difference in wording, so treat it as worth confirming directly with KNRUHS or the prospectus on its website before you assume either description is complete. The short version. KNRUHS Telangana runs two separate registrations, at two different portals, and both have now had a second life. Management Quota — B & C/NRI (tspvtmedadm.tsche.in), at private colleges plus Neelima Institute of Medical Sciences and Army College of Dental Sciences, closed 20 August and has been reopened from 6:00 AM, 2 September to 2:00 PM, 4 September 2026 . Competent Authority Quota (tsmedadm.tsche.in) also closed and reopened once (18–20 August); a provisional merit list came out 24 August, and KNRUHS published the final merit list of UG Medical admissions on 28 August 2026 , after which eligible candidates — General, PWD, PMC, CAP, SCCL and EWS categories — exercised web options from 29 August up to 12:00 Noon on 1 September 2026, paying a Rs 12,000 university fee on allotment; that window is now closed. Cut-off scores remain the same for both quotas: 213 for General/UR/EWS (50th percentile), 194 for PWD General/UR/EWS (45th percentile), 177 for SC/ST/BC and PWD-SC/ST/BC (40th percentile). The 2026-27 tuition fee is fixed under G.O.Ms.No. 98, dated 7 August 2026 — see our full Telangana fee table for every college. Update · 19 August 2026 · CAP category Children of Armed Personnel were required to appear in Hyderabad on 13 or 14 August. KNRUHS issued a notification on 7 August 2026, continuing its earlier notification of 4 August, requiring every candidate registered under the Children of Armed Personnel (CAP) category to attend physical verification of original certificates. This was for MBBS and BDS admissions under the Competent Authority Quota for 2026-27. Candidates were required to report with a parent or guardian . This verification window has since closed. | Date | Reporting time | NEET UG 2026 rank | |---|---|---| | 13 August 2026 | 10:00 AM | 1 to 1,50,000 | | 13 August 2026 | 12:00 noon | 1,50,001 to 2,50,000 | | 14 August 2026 | 10:00 AM | 2,50,001 up to last qualified rank | Venue: Director, Sainik Welfare, in the lane between Ratnadeep Super Market and the Yamaha showroom, Rajbhavan Road, Somajiguda, Hyderabad – 500082. The notification closed with a line that left no room: candidates who failed to attend physical verification per this schedule would not be considered for admission under the CAP category. No alternative slot was mentioned and no online substitute was offered. The 13 and 14 August verification dates also fell inside MCC's revised Round 1 window (registration and choice filling had been extended to 15 and 17 August respectively), so this was not a single-deadline event for CAP candidates even though it looked like one at the time. ## Private Colleges Run Their Own Portal, Open Again Now This is not the same registration as the government-seat Competent Authority Quota above. KNRUHS issued a distinct notification for Management Quota — B Category (state-preference) and C Category (NRI) — covering private un-aided non-minority and minority medical and dental colleges affiliated to KNRUHS, plus Neelima Institute of Medical Sciences (affiliated to Anurag University) and Army College of Dental Sciences . It closed 20 August, then KNRUHS reopened it again by a notification dated 1 September 2026, in continuation of its 12 August 2026 notification, for candidates at or above the cut-off who had not yet applied. If you want a private-college seat in Telangana, this is the registration that matters, not the one above. | Detail | Information | |---|---| | Portal | tspvtmedadm.tsche.in — different from the government-quota portal | | Registration & document upload window | 13 August 2026, 6:00 AM – 20 August 2026, 6:00 PM (closed) | | Reopened window — per KNRUHS notification dated 01.09.2026 | 2 September 2026, 6:00 AM – 4 September 2026, 2:00 PM · candidates already registered need not reapply | | Registration & processing fee | ₹12,000, non-refundable under any circumstances, paid online only | | 85% of B-category seats | Reserved for Telangana local candidates — four years of schooling or residence in the state, or having appeared for NEET UG 2026 at a Telangana centre (with specific exceptions for government-employee families posted outside the state) | | 15% of B-category seats | Open to candidates from anywhere in India, by merit | | C-category (NRI) seats | Open to candidates from anywhere in India; must specifically select the NRI option at registration or will not be considered for C-category seats | KNRUHS's own notification warns against touts. Its closing section states plainly: some people may claim to know university insiders who can guarantee a Medical or Dental seat through unfair means, during or after counselling. All seats are allotted strictly on NEET UG 2026 merit and web options exercised by the candidate, as per government and university rules. Do not trust anyone offering a shortcut. KNRUHS also states it will pursue legal action, and inform the NMC, against any candidate found seat-blocking — joining a college in another state while simultaneously holding a Telangana Management Quota seat. ## Registration, Merit and Verification — the Sequence | Stage | Window | Where | |---|---|---| | Online registration & certificate upload | 6:00 AM, 5 August 2026 – 6:00 PM, 12 August 2026 | tsmedadm.tsche.in | | Registration reopened , for candidates who missed the window above | 2:00 PM, 18 August 2026 – 6:00 PM, 20 August 2026 | tsmedadm.tsche.in | | Provisional state merit list & ineligible-candidates list | Released 24 August 2026 | KNRUHS website, based on NEET UG 2026 rank and eligibility criteria | | Final merit list of UG Medical admissions | Published 28 August 2026 | KNRUHS website | | Web options — eligible candidates on final merit list | 6:00 AM, 29 August – 12:00 Noon, 1 September 2026 | tsmedadm.tsche.in | | University fee on allotment | Rs 12,000, online payment gateway | tsmedadm.tsche.in, before downloading allotment order | | Final certificate verification | At the time of admission | At the allotted college, by its admission committee | Note what happens in what order. Your merit position moved from provisional (24 August) to final (28 August) based on the scanned certificates you uploaded and their provisional verification at registration. Originals are still checked later, at the college you're actually allotted to. If you're exercising web options now, keep your certificate scans and category proofs ready to match against the originals at reporting — a mismatch discovered at that stage can cost you the seat even after a successful web-options round. ## The Same Figures, From a Different Official Source | Category | Qualifying Percentile | Cut-Off Score | |---|---|---| | General / Un-Reserved / EWS | 50th | 213 | | PWD candidates of General/UR/EWS | 45th | 194 | | SC / ST / BC & PWD of SC/ST/BC categories | 40th | 177 | These figures match exactly what we already had confirmed from NTA and from the Dr NTR UHS notice for Andhra Pradesh — three separate official sources landing on the same 213/194/177 bands. That kind of independent agreement is the closest thing to certainty this admission cycle offers. Full category-wise breakdown, including all PwBD bands → ## Telangana's Local-Area Rule — Three Conditions, Only One Needs to Fit Eligibility for Competent Authority Quota isn't just about your NEET score. Under G.O.Ms.No. 33 (19 July 2024) and G.O.Ms.No. 150 (8 September 2025) of the Telangana Health, Medical and Family Welfare Department, a candidate also has to satisfy one of three local-area conditions before the state will even consider a Telangana rank: Studied at an educational institution in Telangana for not less than four consecutive academic years, ending with the year in which you first appeared for NEET. If you didn't study in Telangana for that period, you can instead show four years of residence in the state immediately before you first appeared for NEET. Where neither schooling nor residence applies, the notification points to having appeared for the NEET examination itself within the State of Telangana. The exact wording of this clause is intricate legal drafting, and we don't want to oversimplify it into something it doesn't say. Treat it as a possible narrow door, not a guarantee, and get it checked before you rely on it. Also required regardless of the above: the candidate must be an Indian National, a Person of Indian Origin, or an OCI card holder whose OCI status was issued before 4 March 2021. If your family's OCI documentation is newer than that date, it does not satisfy this condition. ## What This Notification Covers — and What It Doesn't | Included | Excluded | |---|---| | Government medical & dental college seats, after the 15% AIQ share is removed | The 15% All India Quota itself, filled separately by MCC | | Un-aided private non-minority & minority medical college seats | Category 'A' seats within those same private colleges | | Un-aided private non-minority dental colleges, including Army College of Dental Sciences, Secunderabad | Any seat category the notification doesn't explicitly name | The full seat count and seat matrix for 2026-27, college by college, is published separately on the KNRUHS website before web options open — it isn't in this registration notification itself. Don't fill choices based on last year's seat numbers; wait for the current matrix.

Registration at tsmedadm.tsche.in. “MBBS/BDS Admissions under Competent Authority Quota for the Academic Year 2026-27 — Notification for Reopening of Online Registration,” dated 18.08.2026, signed by the Registrar, issued in continuation of the 04.08.2026 notification. KNRUHS published the provisional state merit list and the list of ineligible candidates for Competent Authority Quota MBBS/BDS admission, 2026-27, on 24.08.2026, and the final merit list of UG Medical admissions on 28.08.2026, on its website. “Notification for Exercising Web-Options for First Phase of Counselling for Admission into MBBS Course under Competent Authority Quota,” issued in continuation of the 04.08.2026, 24.08.2026 and 28.08.2026 notifications, opens web options from 6:00 AM, 29 August to 12:00 Noon, 1 September 2026, at tsmedadm.tsche.in, with a Rs 12,000 university fee payable on allotment.

Separately, on 18.08.2026 KNRUHS issued the Competent Authority Quota prospectus and registration notification for NEET MDS 2026 admissions — a distinct, postgraduate dental admission process from the MBBS/BDS registration described on this page; candidates should not confuse the two.

Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website, knruhs.telangana.gov.in, on 29 August 2026, including the 24.08.2026 provisional merit list notice and the 28.08.2026 final merit list and web-options notification, and rechecked 7 September 2026 against the BDS Round 1 allotment reporting notice and the Management Quota Ineligible Candidates List. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current status on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us For the BDS Round 1 allotment under Competent Authority Quota, the last date of reporting at the allotted college is 11 September 2026, 4:00 PM. Check your individual allotment status at tsmedadm.tsche.in; we have not independently confirmed whether the MBBS reporting deadline under the same allotment is identical, so verify your own course's window on the portal. Separately, under Management Quota, KNRUHS has published a list of candidates found ineligible from the 2-4 September reopened registration window at tspvtmedadm.tsche.in. If your name is on it, check the stated reason on the notification directly; any grievance must be sent on or before 9 September 2026, 12:00 Noon. KNRUHS published the final merit list of UG Medical admissions on its website on 28 August 2026, in continuation of its notifications dated 04.08.2026, 24.08.2026 and 28.08.2026. If your certificates were provisionally verified at registration and your name appears on that final merit list, you can exercise web options online from 6:00 AM on 29 August 2026 up to 12:00 Noon on 1 September 2026, at tsmedadm.tsche.in. This covers PWD, PMC, CAP and SCCL category candidates as well as EWS quota candidates shown on the merit list. On allotment, pay the university fee of Rs 12,000 through the payment gateway and download your allotment order. If a double payment happens due to a failed transaction followed by a successful one, email knruhs.doublepayments@gmail.com with your representation; any refund due is processed only after admissions close, following verification. Online registration and upload of scanned original certificates opens at 6:00 AM on 5 August 2026 and closes at 6:00 PM on 12 August 2026, at tsmedadm.tsche.in. This is run by KNRUHS — Kaloji Narayana Rao University of Health Sciences, Warangal — for Competent Authority Quota seats in MBBS and BDS at government and un-aided private colleges affiliated to the university. Yes. KNRUHS issued a notification dated 18.08.2026, in continuation of its earlier notification of 04.08.2026, reopening online registration for Competent Authority Quota seats — the same tsmedadm.tsche.in portal that closed 12 August, not the separate Management Quota portal. The reopened window ran from 2:00 PM on 18 August 2026 to 6:00 PM on 20 August 2026, and has since closed. Candidates who had already submitted their applications did not need to register again. The reopening notice describes Competent Authority Quota as covering both government and private medical and dental colleges, which reads broader than how the original 4 August notification was characterised elsewhere on this page as ‘government seats’ — we flag that discrepancy rather than assert either framing as certain, and recommend confirming the exact seat coverage directly with KNRUHS before you register. General, Un-Reserved and EWS candidates need the 50th percentile, which is 213 marks. PWD candidates in the General/UR/EWS categories need the 45th percentile, 194 marks. SC, ST, BC and PWD candidates within SC/ST/BC categories need the 40th percentile, 177 marks. These are identical to the national NEET UG 2026 qualifying figures published by NTA, which is a useful independent confirmation that the 213/194/177 bands are correct. Seats in government medical and dental colleges after the 15% All India Quota share is removed, plus seats in un-aided private non-minority and minority medical colleges and un-aided private non-minority dental colleges, including Army College of Dental Sciences, Secunderabad. Category 'A' seats within those private colleges are excluded from this notification. The exact seat matrix for 2026-27 is published on the KNRUHS website before candidates are asked to exercise web options, not at the time of registration. Not through the ordinary route. Telangana applies a local-area rule: a candidate must have either studied in Telangana for four consecutive academic years before appearing for NEET, or resided in Telangana for four years before that, or — where neither applies — have appeared for the NEET UG examination itself at a centre within Telangana. That third condition is narrow and the exact wording is technical, so if your only connection to Telangana is that you happened to sit NEET there, do not assume eligibility on your own reading — confirm it directly with KNRUHS or with OEF before you register. Yes. G.O.Ms.No. 98, Health, Medical and Family Welfare (C1) Department, dated 7 August 2026, fixed the fee structure for the 2026-2029 block period at the same rates notified for 2023-2026, ranging roughly ₹11.55 lakh to ₹13 lakh a year across the state's private colleges under Category B, with Category C capped at up to double the Category B rate. See our full Telangana fee table on the colleges page for every individual college. Yes. KNRUHS released the provisional state merit list, along with a separate list of ineligible candidates, for Competent Authority Quota MBBS and BDS admission, 2026-27, on 24 August 2026, following the close of the reopened registration window at tsmedadm.tsche.in on 20 August. If your name is on the ineligible list, check the stated reason directly on the KNRUHS website and raise any objection within the window KNRUHS specifies — do not wait for a phone call or an email. ## Not Sure the Local-Area Rule Actually Applies to You?

Separately, the Competent Authority Quota (state-quota) Phase-1 MBBS seat allotment is now out — NTRUHS has published the Phase-1 allotment along with a supplementary Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) candidate-movement list, closing the web-options/allotment gap this page had flagged as unannounced through 24 August.

This is the notification Northeast India families should actually be watching on this page: it is the private-college route, and it is open for barely a week. ## Phase-1 State-Quota Allotment, Now Out Breaking · Competent Authority Quota, Phase-1 MBBS Allotment Published Phase-1 state-quota (Competent Authority Quota) seat allotment for MBBS is out. Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has published the Phase-1 Competent Authority Quota MBBS admission list for AY 2026-27 — the web-options result that, as of 24 August, this page reported as still “to be announced separately.” That gap is now closed. Alongside the main allotment, NTRUHS has also released a specific supplementary list: the Complete List of Phase-I Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) Candidates — candidates who were first allotted a seat in the Open Category and were then moved to a better college within their own reservation category through the option system, per G.O.Rt.No.550, Higher Education (EC.2) Department, dated 30.07.2001, and its subsequent amendments. NTRUHS is explicit that this MRC list is published “for information only.” What we have and haven't confirmed. We have the MRC candidate-movement list directly and can confirm Phase-1 allotment has genuinely happened. We do not yet have the full master allotment list (the complete seat matrix with every candidate and every category's actual closing rank) or a dated notification number for this specific release, since the document itself carries no notice header or date. Do not read the MRC list's own score range as a category-wise cutoff table — it only covers the narrow set of candidates who moved from an Open-category seat to a reservation-category one, not the full closing point for any category.

Background · NTRUHS notification dates 19 and 24 August 2026, as reported Registration is closed; the next milestone is web-options, and NTRUHS has not yet set a date for it. The Competent Authority Quota registration window that ran 5–19 August 2026, including the one-day reopening, has closed. Per NTRUHS's own notifications, as reported by education-news sources citing them: on 19 August 2026 the university revised its counselling rules so that a candidate allotted a seat who does not join it is no longer barred from later rounds, and on 24 August 2026 it released the provisional merit position for Competent Authority Quota candidates. What hasn't happened yet matters just as much. As of the 24 August release, web-options entry and seat-allotment dates for the main state-quota process were still described as “to be announced separately.” Class commencement is set for 8 September 2026 — a marker of how tight the remaining schedule has to be, not a stand-in for a web-options date. We have not been able to confirm these two items against a live copy of drntr.uhsap.in in this update; they are cited from the university's own notification dates as reported, and are worth checking against the portal yourself before you act on them. Short version. On 31 July 2026 Dr. NTR University of Health Sciences, Vijayawada, released a 574-page rank-wise list of NEET UG 2026 qualified candidates from Andhra Pradesh, 33,220 entries deep. On 5 August 2026, the university opened the actual application — single online registration for Competent Authority Quota seats, covering government, private, and MBBS seats at Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women, Tirupati — which ran to 9:00 PM 12 August (late fee to 14 August). On 18 August 2026 , NTRUHS reopened that same registration for one more window, 4:00 PM 18 August to 3:00 PM 19 August, with a flat late fee of ₹20,000 , stating there will be no further extension. That registration process is now closed. Since then, per NTRUHS's own notification dates as reported: on 19 August 2026 the university revised its counselling rules so a candidate who does not join an allotted seat is no longer barred from later rounds, and on 24 August 2026 it released the provisional merit position for Competent Authority Quota candidates — with web-options entry and seat-allotment dates for the state-quota round still unannounced, and classes set to commence 8 September 2026 . Separately, a Competent Authority Quota notice for NEET MDS 2026 , dated 18 August 2026, ran registration 18–22 August with a late-fee window of 23–24 August. NTRUHS has since issued a separate Detailed Notification for Management Quota (Category B1, B2) seats in private colleges and Competent Authority (Self-Financing) seats in new government medical colleges: online registration runs 2 to 6 September 2026 (₹11,000) without late fee, with a one-day late-fee window on 7 September (₹31,000 total) — a separate notification is still to come for Category-C (NRI) seats. ## The 2026 Cut-Off Table, Straight Off the Notice Reproduced as printed on page 1. These bands come from NTA via the DGHS, so they are national figures, not Andhra Pradesh figures. | Category | Cut-off percentile | Cut-off score | |---|---|---| | UR / EWS | 50th | 715 – 213 | | OBC | 40th | 212 – 177 | | SC | 40th | 212 – 177 | | ST | 40th | 212 – 177 | | UR / EWS & PwBD | 45th | 212 – 194 | | OBC & PwBD | 40th | 193 – 177 | | SC & PwBD | 40th | 193 – 177 | | ST & PwBD | 40th | 191 – 177 | We had this slightly wrong, and this notice fixed it. Most reporting, ours included, collapsed the reserved PwBD categories into a single 177–212 band. The NTRUHS table splits them: OBC-PwBD and SC-PwBD top out at 193, ST-PwBD at 191. The floor is 177 in all three, so nobody's eligibility changes. But if you are a PwBD candidate reading a scorecard in the 190s, the precise band is worth knowing. We have corrected our qualifying marks page to match. One more wrinkle, worth naming rather than hiding. The 5 August application notice prints its own cut-off table, and it puts the ST-PwBD floor at 178 , not 177 — a one-mark difference from the 31 July notice above, from the same university. We can't tell you which figure is the typo. If your score sits at exactly 177 and you are ST with a benchmark disability, that single mark matters — call NTRUHS directly to confirm before you rely on either number. ## What 33,220 Qualified Candidates Actually Look Like We read the whole list. Here is how the scores fall. | Score band | Candidates | Share of the qualified list | |---|---|---| | 600 and above | 324 | 1.0% | | 500 – 599 | 2,508 | 7.5% | | 400 – 499 | 7,441 | 22.4% | | 300 – 399 | 10,427 | 31.4% | | 213 – 299 | 9,434 | 28.4% | | 177 – 212 | 3,086 | 9.3% | Six candidates in ten scored under 400. Only one in a hundred crossed 600. And the tail of the list sits at All India Rank 11,94,908 — a rank with six digits and a comma in front of them. We keep this page up partly because parents in our office do not believe us when we say it. They see “qualified” on a scorecard and they hear “selected”. Those are different words. One state alone put 33,220 qualified candidates into a single PDF, and Andhra Pradesh has nowhere near 33,220 medical seats. ## Six Notes at the Bottom of Page One ### It is not the merit list Point 6, printed in bold on the notice: this is for the information of students and parents, it shall not be considered as the merit list, and no correspondence will be entertained about it. The final merit position appears only after online applications are submitted and verified. ### Applications have now opened A separate notification, dated 5 August 2026, called for online applications with its own firm schedule — details right below. Nobody could apply off the back of this list alone, and now they don't need to. ### Category claims get checked at source Category-wise eligibility against the NEET cut-off will be verified only on submission of the community certificate, and the genuineness of that certificate is confirmed by the BC, SC or ST welfare department itself. This is not a formality. Certificates do get bounced. ### Special categories wait for their own lists PwBD candidates and the special categories — Sports and Games, Scouts and Guides, NCC, CAP, Anglo Indian, Police Martyr Children — get separate final merit lists, published only after the competent authorities confirm the certificates. ## Applications Are Open — Here's the Actual Schedule Dr NTR UHS followed through on its own promise. A single online application now covers Competent Authority Quota seats in Government Medical and Dental Colleges, General category seats in the permitted Government Medical Colleges (2023-24 onwards, per G.O.Ms.No.107, dated 19 July 2023), Private Un-aided Non-Minority and Minority Medical and Dental Colleges — and, notably, MBBS seats in Sri Padmavathi Medical College for Women (under SVIMS), Tirupati , a women-only medical college now folded into this same single application. | Window | Dates & Time | |---|---| | Registration, no late fee | 5:00 PM, 5 August 2026 – 9:00 PM, 12 August 2026 (closed) | | Registration, with late fee | 7:00 AM, 13 August 2026 – 1:00 PM, 14 August 2026 (closed) | | Registration reopened, with late fee | 4:00 PM, 18 August 2026 – 3:00 PM, 19 August 2026 (closed) | | Category | Fee (no late fee, closed) | Fee (with late fee, incl. reopened window) | |---|---|---| | OC / BC | ₹3,000 | ₹23,000 (₹3,000 + ₹20,000 late fee) | | SC / ST | ₹2,400 | ₹22,400 (₹2,400 + ₹20,000 late fee) | On the reopened window's fee. The 18 August notice states only “a late fee of ₹20,000” without repeating the base application fee schedule. We read this as the same late-fee structure the 5 August notice already set — base fee plus ₹20,000, giving the totals above — since the notice describes this as a continuation of the same notification, not a new fee regime. Confirm the exact amount the payment gateway shows before you pay; if it differs from what is shown here, go with the portal. Three details that cost candidates money or a seat when they missed them. The notice states plainly that the application and processing fee, including any late fee, will not be refunded or adjusted to a future date under any circumstances once paid — read the Prospectus and Regulations before you pay, not after. The notice itself recommends using a desktop or laptop, not a phone, to complete this application, with fees through Debit Card, Credit Card or Net Banking only, bank charges extra. And the 18 August reopening notice stated there would be no further notifications for registrations or extension of date — and there were none; 3:00 PM on 19 August was final, and registration is now closed. | Milestone | Status | |---|---| | Provisional merit position released | 24 August 2026 | | Web-options entry (state quota) | To be announced separately — not yet published as of 24 August 2026 | | Seat allotment (state quota) | To be announced separately | | Class commencement | 8 September 2026 | What's happened since registration closed, and what's still pending. Per NTRUHS's own notification dates, as reported: a 19 August 2026 notice revised the counselling rules so a candidate allotted a seat who does not join it is no longer barred from later rounds. A 24 August 2026 notice released the provisional merit position for Competent Authority Quota candidates. Web-options entry and seat-allotment dates for the main state-quota round were, as of that release, still described as “to be announced separately.” Class commencement is set for 8 September 2026 . We have not confirmed these two items against a live copy of drntr.uhsap.in in this update — they are cited from the university's own notification dates as reported. Registration and document upload were completed at drntr.uhsap.in or apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in/MBBS/HOME/Home . Watch the same portal for the web-options notification. ## Andhra Pradesh, Honestly Assessed for an NE Student Andhra Pradesh runs its admissions under local-area rules that trace back to a Presidential Order, and they are strict about it. A candidate who did not do their schooling in the state does not get into the competent-authority quota. That is the plain position, and no amount of paperwork changes it. What is left for you is the management and NRI quota in AP's private medical and dental colleges, and the 15% All India Quota in its government colleges, which MCC fills on rank alone. Both are real. Neither is cheap in the case of the first. Our honest read: AP's Competent Authority Quota is legally closed to non-local candidates in any case, so registration only ever mattered if you already had a real route in — management or NRI quota in a private AP college. That registration is now closed; the provisional merit position came out 24 August, and web-options for the state-quota round have not yet been scheduled. If management or NRI quota in a private AP college is genuinely your route, keep watching drntr.uhsap.in for the web-options notification rather than relying on this page alone. If it is not you, other states' still-open windows deserve your day more than a closed AP registration does. CENTAC Puducherry reopened and closed 14 August, taking candidates from any state under its self-supporting stream.

The 19 and 24 August items above come from NTRUHS's own notification dates as reported by education-news sources citing them; we were not able to independently confirm them against a live copy of the portal in this update. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website and notifications as of 25 August 2026; the 19 and 24 August items are drawn from NTRUHS's own notification dates as reported by sources citing them, and have not yet been independently reconfirmed against a live portal fetch. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes. Dr NTR University of Health Sciences has published the Phase-1 Competent Authority Quota MBBS seat allotment for AY 2026-27, closing the gap this page previously flagged as ‘web-options and allotment dates still to be announced’ as of 24 August. Alongside the main allotment, NTRUHS released a supplementary ‘Complete List of Phase-I Meritorious Reserved Category (MRC) Candidates’, marked ‘for information only’, covering candidates first allotted an Open Category seat who then moved to a better college within their own reservation category through the option system, per G.O.Rt.No.550, Higher Education (EC.2) Department, dated 30.07.2001. We do not yet have the full master allotment list or a dated notification number for this specific release, and the MRC list’s own score range should not be read as a category-wise cutoff — check your own roll number at drntr.uhsap.in for your actual result. A rank-wise list of every NEET UG 2026 candidate from Andhra Pradesh who cleared the cut-off, built from data the university received from the office of the DGHS in New Delhi. It runs to 574 pages and 33,220 entries, and it carries only three things per candidate: NEET roll number, All India Rank and score. No names. The notice is signed by the Registrar, Dr T. Sai Sudheer. No, and the notice says so in bold. Point 6 states it is for the information of students and parents and shall not be treated as the merit list, and that no correspondence will be entertained on the point. The actual merit position gets fixed only after online applications are filed and verified. A separate notification calling for those applications is still to come. UR and EWS at the 50th percentile, 715 down to 213. OBC, SC and ST at the 40th percentile, 212 down to 177. UR/EWS with PwBD at the 45th percentile, 212 down to 194. OBC with PwBD and SC with PwBD at the 40th percentile, 193 down to 177. ST with PwBD at the 40th percentile, 191 down to 177. Not the list itself — it only covers candidates who wrote NEET from Andhra Pradesh. The cut-off table at the top is another matter. Those figures are national, set by NMC and NTA, and they apply to you in Guwahati exactly as they apply to a candidate in Vijayawada. As for AP seats: the state quota is shut to outsiders under the local-area rules, and what remains open is management and NRI quota in private colleges, plus the 15% All India Quota that MCC fills. All the way to All India Rank 1,194,908 at 177 marks. That single figure is worth more than any amount of counselling advice. Qualifying is not a small club. It is a very large one, and everything that happens after it is decided by where you sit inside it. Registration without late fee ran from 5:00 PM on 5 August 2026 to 9:00 PM on 12 August 2026, at drntr.uhsap.in or apuhs-ugadmissions.aptonline.in, with a late-fee window from 7:00 AM 13 August to 1:00 PM 14 August 2026. The application fee was ₹3,000 for OC/BC and ₹2,400 for SC/ST without late fee; with late fee, a flat ₹20,000 penalty was added, taking the totals to ₹23,000 and ₹22,400 respectively. That window then closed — see the next answer for the 18 August reopening, a separate and later chance to register. Yes. A notification dated 18 August 2026, issued in continuation of the 5 August 2026 notice, reopened the registration portal for candidates who could not register or missed the earlier window. The reopened window runs 4:00 PM on 18 August 2026 to 3:00 PM on 19 August 2026, with a late fee of ₹20,000. The notification states in its own text that there will be no further notifications for registration or extension of date — treat 3:00 PM on 19 August as final. Yes. The 18 August notification states explicitly that the same application form will be considered for all phases of counselling, including the stray round, for seats under the Competent Authority Quota. You do not need to register again in a later round once you have completed this one. Yes, per a revised-rules notification dated 19 August 2026, as reported by education-news outlets tracking NTRUHS's notices. A candidate who is allotted a seat in one round but does not join it is no longer barred from participating in later rounds, a change from the earlier practice. We have not been able to independently confirm this notification against a live copy of the drntr.uhsap.in portal in this update, so treat it as reported from the university's own notification date until you see the notice yourself. Not the final merit list — but per NTRUHS's own schedule, as reported, a provisional merit position for Competent Authority Quota candidates was released on 24 August 2026. As of that release, the dates for web-options entry and seat allotment under the main state-quota process had not been announced; NTRUHS was reported to be treating those as to be announced separately. Watch drntr.uhsap.in directly for the web-options notification, since that is the step that actually assigns seats. 8 September 2026, per NTRUHS's counselling schedule as reported alongside the 24 August provisional merit position. That date assumes web-options and allotment complete on the timeline the university has set internally; if those steps slip, the commencement date could move too — the university had not published web-options dates as of 24 August 2026. Yes, and it runs on its own schedule. NTRUHS issued a separate Competent Authority Quota notice for NEET MDS 2026 dated 18 August 2026: registration without late fee ran 18–22 August, with a late-fee window of 23–24 August 2026. This is a management/competent-authority quota notice for postgraduate dental seats; we have not located a separate state-quota MDS schedule in the same reporting. If you are an MDS candidate, this is a different form and different deadline from the MBBS/BDS process described above. Yes, and it is separate from the Competent Authority Quota process described above. NTRUHS issued a Detailed Notification inviting online applications for Management Quota (Category B1, B2) seats in Private Un-aided Non-Minority and Minority Medical and Dental Colleges affiliated to NTRUHS, plus Competent Authority (Self-Financing) seats in new Government Medical Colleges permitted from 2023-24 onward. Registration without late fee runs 12:00 Noon, 2 September 2026 to 9:00 PM, 6 September 2026 (fee Rs 11,000), with a late-fee window from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM on 7 September 2026 (Rs 31,000 total, including a flat Rs 20,000 late fee). The notice states no further registrations will be allowed after that under any circumstances, and the fee is non-refundable and non-adjustable. A separate notification is still to come for Category-C (NRI) seats. ## Qualified Is Not Selected. Let's Talk About Your Actual Options. Send us your score, category and home state.

Applications closed 14 August, and CENTAC published the Seat Matrix and Fee Structure for Government and Self-financing colleges on 28 August, per Notice No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/08. Candidates then had until 31 August 2026, 11:00 AM to update their course preferences for Round 1 Allotment. On that same day, CENTAC put out an updated, revised draft merit list for the Management Quota — National and NRI category , ranking 4,747 candidates by NEET All India Rank against published cutoffs of 213 (General/EWS), 194 (General-PH) and 177 (OBC/MBC/SC/EBC/BCM/ST/BT/PH) . It is still marked draft, and a handful of entries are tied to a pending writ appeal, so treat it as where things stand rather than a final allotment. Look up your own name and rank on centacpuducherry.in rather than trusting a screenshot someone forwards you. Last verified · 1 September 2026 · against CENTAC's Updated Revised Draft Merit List (Management Quota — National & NRI), dated 31 August 2026, and Notice No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/08, dated 28 August 2026 The short answer. CENTAC Puducherry's UG NEET 2026 window (MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BVSc & AH, National Self-Supporting and NRI categories, open to candidates from any state) closed for good on 14 August, after briefly reopening from 12 August under Ref. No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/04. CENTAC published the Seat Matrix and Fee Structure for Government and Self-financing colleges on 28 August, and candidates had until 31 August, 11:00 AM, to update their Round 1 course preferences — empty preferences were not considered for allotment. On that same date, 31 August 2026 , CENTAC also released an updated, revised draft merit list for the Management Quota — National and NRI category , ranking 4,747 candidates by NEET All India Rank. The cutoffs printed on that list are 213 for General/EWS, 194 for General-PH, and 177 for OBC, MBC, SC, EBC, BCM, ST, BT and PH . It is still a draft — some entries are flagged as subject to Writ Appeal W.A. 2674 of 2026 — so it is not a final seat allotment. If you applied, check your own name and rank directly on centacpuducherry.in rather than relying on a forwarded screenshot. Queries go through the Grievances option on your Login Dashboard, or the helpline, 0413-2655570. Breaking · Updated Revised Draft Merit List, dated 31 August 2026 If you applied under the Management Quota — National or NRI category, go look yourself up. On 31 August 2026, CENTAC put out an updated, revised draft merit list for UG NEET courses (MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BVSc & AH) under the Management Quota — Overall category, covering National-level (other-state) candidates and NRI-quota candidates together. It's a long list, 4,747 names ranked by NEET All India Rank, and the cutoffs printed on it are 213 for General/EWS, 194 for General-PH, and 177 for OBC, MBC, SC, EBC, BCM, ST, BT and PH. Some rows carry a footnote — an asterisk for candidates who still need to submit a UGC Equivalence Certificate, a hash for the Internal-Puducherry UT Domicile Quota, double-asterisks for private-institution-only eligibility, or an ampersand for entries tied to Writ Appeal W.A. 2674 of 2026. This is a draft , not a final allotment, so don't act on it as if a seat is confirmed. Find your own application number or name on centacpuducherry.in rather than trusting a rank forwarded to you on WhatsApp. What came before this. CENTAC published the Seat Matrix and Fee Structure on 28 August 2026 (Notice No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/08), titled “Updation of Course Preferences for UG NEET Courses,” and candidates could update course preferences for Round 1 Allotment up to 31 August 2026, 11:00 AM — preferences left empty were not considered for allotment. We have not independently verified every intermediate step between that notice and this merit list (such as the exact objections window on the draft); confirm the fuller sequence on centacpuducherry.in or through the Grievances option on your Login Dashboard, or call the helpline, 0413-2655570. ## Three Different Situations, Three Different Rules CENTAC reopened applications on candidate request, not as a routine extension — the notice frames it as a response to requests received. That matters because the rules differ sharply depending on where you already stand. | Your situation | What you can do by 14 August, 5:00 PM | |---|---| | Never registered | Apply fresh, in full, like any new applicant | | Registered but never completed | Edit and submit your existing application | | Waiting on renewed certificates | Attach your old certificates now and complete the application — but you must still submit the renewed versions before the Final Merit List is published | | Already submitted for Govt/Management Quota, now want Management/NRI too | Raise a Grievance request — select “Request to Edit Application and Apply for MQ/NRI Quota” before 3:00 PM on 14 August, then complete and resubmit before 5:00 PM the same day | | Completed & submitted before 8 August, 5:00 PM | Your data is frozen — the Edit option is closed for you. You may still submit additional certificates through the Grievance option, but you cannot modify your application data | Do not submit a duplicate application to work around a closed Edit option. The notice is explicit: if you submit a duplicate application to try to update or modify frozen data, both applications will be rejected . If you completed and submitted before 8 August and need a genuine change beyond a certificate upload, your only route is the Grievance option in your dashboard — not a second application. ## Which CENTAC Stream Applies to You | Stream | Who Can Apply | Colleges | Note | |---|---|---|---| | Government Quota | Puducherry residents only | UT government medical and dental colleges, plus government-surrendered seats in private institutions | Residence affidavit in CENTAC's prescribed format is mandatory | | National Self-Supporting (SS) | Candidates from any state | Private and unaided medical, dental, Ayurveda and veterinary colleges | The realistic route for a Northeast candidate | | NRI / NRI-SP / OCI / PIO | NRI, OCI, PIO and foreign nationals | Defined NRI seats in participating colleges | Separate, higher application fee; documented sponsorship required | | Meritorious Sports Persons | Per the guidelines notified 31 July 2026 | Government quota seats | Separate guidelines and separate certificate scrutiny | | PwBD | Per the PwBD assessment guidelines notified 31 July 2026 | Government quota seats | Assessment by the notified medical board | One detail that trips applicants every year: when filling the CENTAC form, enter your All India counselling rank where the form asks for it, not your NEET marks or your state rank. And OBC candidates applying for BVSc & AH national self-supporting seats must attach an All India OBC non-creamy-layer certificate, not a state OBC certificate. ## CENTAC Also Runs an AYUSH Scheme — But It Isn't Open to You Separately from the MBBS/BDS/BAMS/BVSc stream this page is mainly about, CENTAC also administers a sponsored-seat scheme for B.S.M.S. (Siddha), B.U.M.S. (Unani) and B.H.M.S. (Homoeopathy) courses. Puducherry does not run its own government colleges for these three courses, so candidates with Puducherry UT domicile are sponsored into government Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy colleges in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka instead, under a category the notice calls “deficient states/Union Territories.” This one is not for you unless you hold Puducherry domicile. Unlike the National Self-Supporting and NRI streams covered above, this AYUSH sponsored-seat scheme is restricted to candidates of the Union Territory of Puducherry. A Northeast India applicant without Puducherry domicile does not qualify for it, however strong the NEET score. We are including it here only so you do not mistake it for another open door. For Puducherry-domicile readers: under Ref. No. CENTAC/AYUSH/2026/02, dated 31 July 2026, the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee (Directorate of Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy) extended its online submission deadline for these BSMS/BUMS/BHMS applications to 7 August 2026 . CENTAC correspondingly extended the deadline to submit a self-attested hard copy of the application to 10 August 2026, 5:00 PM . Apply online at www.tnayushselection.org, and track your submission through www.centacpuducherry.in. Grievances go through the CENTAC login dashboard, or call the helpline on 0413-2655570 / 2655571. ## Merit Lists, Allotment and the Forfeiture Trap ### Draft merit list, then objections CENTAC publishes a draft merit list and opens a short objections window, usually days rather than weeks, and it has extended that window in other streams this year. Check your own entry carefully — category, rank, quota — the moment the draft list appears. A wrong entry corrected at draft stage is routine; the same error after the final list is not. ### Final merit list and choice filling Allotment runs online across Round 1, Round 2 and a mop-up round, with a stray round if vacancies remain. CENTAC publishes vacancy lists after each round, which is genuinely useful information — you can see exactly what is left before you decide whether to hold or move. ### Registration fee forfeiture Read this clause in the brochure before Round 2. Once the final allotment list of the second round is published, a candidate who fails to join forfeits the registration fee, and the amount varies by quota — NRI applicants pay and therefore risk the most. This is the single most common way families lose money in Puducherry. ### Admission is completed in person Final document verification and admission happen at the allotted college. Budget for the travel from the Northeast and factor in a buffer day. CENTAC's office is at Kamarajar Manimandapam, Karuvadikuppam, Puducherry, and the helpdesk answers between 10 AM and 5 PM on 0413-2655570 and 0413-2655571. ## The Official Notices Behind This Page Checked against centacpuducherry.in on 19 August 2026, and again on 1 September 2026 for the merit-list entry above. We list the source so you can verify it yourself rather than taking our word for it — and so you know exactly which notice to look for if a date moves. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against the official counselling authority's own website on 1 September 2026, including CENTAC Notice No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/08 dated 28 August 2026 and the Updated Revised Draft Merit List (Management Quota — National & NRI) dated 31 August 2026. State authorities extend and revise deadlines at short notice, sometimes with only a few hours' warning, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date on the official portal before you pay any fee. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of any counselling authority, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET UG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes to both. Per Notice No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/08, dated 28 August 2026, CENTAC published the Seat Matrix and Fee Structure for UG NEET courses (MBBS, BDS, BAMS) at Government and Self-financing colleges on centacpuducherry.in the same day. The fee structure for Sri Venkateshwara Medical College will be published separately once its Competent Authority approval is received. Candidates can update their course preferences for Round 1 Allotment on or before 31 August 2026, 11:00 AM — do this even if you are largely satisfied with your existing preferences, because CENTAC states plainly that candidates whose course preferences are empty will not be considered for allotment. Queries go through the Grievances option on your Login Dashboard, or the helpline, 0413-2655570. 14 August 2026, 5:00 PM, with no further extension stated. The window originally closed 6 August, then reopened for fresh applications from 12 August 2026 (Ref. No. CENTAC/UG-NEET/2026/04) on candidate request. This covers MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BVSc & AH under the National Self-Supporting and NRI categories. The exact rules differ depending on whether you are a fresh applicant, an incomplete registrant, or someone who already submitted before 8 August. Yes, and this is what makes CENTAC unusually relevant to Northeast India families. The current notification covers the National Self-Supporting and NRI categories, which are open to candidates from other states. Government quota seats remain restricted to Puducherry residents, who must furnish a residence affidavit in the format CENTAC prescribes. Read the brochure's quota definitions before paying, because the application fee differs by quota. MBBS, BDS, BAMS (Ayurveda) and BVSc & AH under the National Self-Supporting and NRI streams, open to candidates from any state. CENTAC separately runs a BSMS, BUMS and BHMS sponsored-seat scheme in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka government Indian Medicine and Homoeopathy colleges, but that one is restricted to Puducherry UT domicile candidates only. B.Sc Nursing runs through the UG Non-NEET process, which closed earlier in June. CENTAC verifies residence claims, publishes a Draft Merit List, invites objections, then publishes the Final Merit List. Online choice filling and allotment follow across Round 1, Round 2 and a mop-up round, with a stray round if seats remain vacant. Watch the forfeiture rules: after the final allotment list in the second round, a candidate who fails to join forfeits the registration fee, and the amounts are quota-dependent. If your NEET UG 2026 score is a qualifying one and you are open to a self-supporting or NRI seat, yes — a live window with a firm deadline is worth more than a closed one you regret. Applications received so far this cycle are still in the hundreds rather than the tens of thousands, which is a very different competitive picture from Karnataka or Tamil Nadu. Call us on 9085064444 and we will go through the brochure conditions with you today. No. Under Ref. No. CENTAC/AYUSH/2026/02, dated 31 July 2026, the Tamil Nadu Selection Committee extended the online submission deadline for these sponsored seats to 7 August 2026, and CENTAC extended the hard-copy submission deadline to 10 August 2026, 5:00 PM. But this scheme sponsors Puducherry UT domicile candidates into BSMS, BUMS and BHMS seats in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka government colleges — it is not open to candidates from Assam or any other state outside Puducherry. Do not confuse it with the National Self-Supporting and NRI stream on this page, which is open to any state. Yes. On 31 August 2026, CENTAC released an updated, revised draft merit list for UG NEET courses (MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BVSc & AH) under the Management Quota — Overall category, covering both National-level (other-state) candidates and NRI-quota candidates. It is a large list, ranking roughly 4,747 candidates by their NEET All India Rank, and it prints the cutoff marks CENTAC used to build it: 213 for General/EWS, 194 for General-PH, and 177 for OBC, MBC, SC, EBC, BCM, ST, BT and PH. A few entries carry footnote markers — for an Equivalence Certificate requirement, for the Internal-Puducherry UT Domicile Quota, for private-institution-only eligibility, or because they are tied to the outcome of Writ Appeal W.A. 2674 of 2026 — so read the footnotes against your own row if one applies to you. This is still called a draft, not a final allotment, so do not treat it as a settled seat. The safest approach is to open the list yourself on centacpuducherry.in and search for your own application number or name, rather than trusting a rank someone forwards you on WhatsApp. ## Management Quota Merit List Is Out. Confirm Where You Stand Before Allotment. We will help you find your name and rank on CENTAC's draft merit list, walk through the seat matrix and fee structure with you, and flag anything in your documents that would fail verification before Round 1 Allotment. --- # Management Quota MBBS Admission 2026 — How It Works Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/management-quota-mbbs-admission-2026.html # Management Quota MBBS Admission — What It Is, and What Nobody Can Sell You Management quota is a real, legal seat category. It is also the single most misrepresented term in Indian medical admission, and we spend a good part of every counselling season undoing what somebody has told a family about it. Below: how these seats are actually allotted, who fixes the fee, and what an advance booking offer really means. The short version. Management quota seats exist in private medical colleges and deemed universities. They are filled through the same centralised counselling as every other seat, in NEET rank order, at fees approved by the state fee fixation committee. NEET qualification is mandatory. No consultant, agent or college representative can reserve one for you before allotment, and any payment demanded outside the approved fee structure is capitation, which is prohibited. Expect roughly ₹12–45 lakh per year depending on state and college. ## Same Classroom, Three Very Different Prices | Category | Who can claim it | Typical annual fee | Relative cut-off | |---|---|---|---| | Government / State Quota | Domicile or nativity conditions of the state apply | Lowest — often under ₹1 lakh in government colleges; capped at government rates for up to 50% of private seats under NMC guidelines | Highest | | Management Quota | Any Indian citizen with a valid NEET UG score. No domicile bar in most colleges. | Roughly ₹12–45 lakh, fixed by the state fee committee | Lower | | NRI Quota | NRI, OCI or PIO status, or sponsorship by a qualifying relative under Supreme Court criteria | Highest, often in USD | Lowest | The cut-off column is why management quota exists as a market. A student who cannot reach a government seat may reach a management seat several thousand ranks lower. That is legitimate. What is not legitimate is treating the lower cut-off as an invitation to bypass the counselling process altogether. ## Six Steps, All of Them on a Government Portal | # | Step | |---|---| | 1 | Qualify NEET UG 2026. Mandatory for every seat in the country. | | 2 | Register on the relevant counselling portal — MCC for deemed universities and All India Quota, or the state authority for state private colleges. Management seats in deemed universities go through MCC. | | 3 | Pay the registration fee and security deposit. Deemed university deposits are substantial and forfeitable — understand the forfeiture rules before you lock choices. | | 4 | Fill and lock your choice list. The order matters, because allotment runs down your list in sequence. | | 5 | Receive provisional allotment, download the allotment letter, and report for document verification within the published window. | | 6 | Pay the approved fee to the college directly, against a receipt, at the rate in the fee committee notification. | Notice what is absent from that list: any point at which a third party can commit a seat to you. If somebody claims to have influence at step 5, ask what mechanism they are describing. Allotment is generated by the counselling authority from locked choices and rank order. ## A Retired Judge, Not a College Marketing Office Every state constitutes a fee fixation committee for private medical colleges. The composition is typically a retired High Court judge as chair, with a chartered accountant and a senior civil servant among the members. That committee approves the complete fee structure for each college — tuition and the non-tuition heads — and publishes it. No charge outside the approved notification is permitted. This gives you a straightforward test. Ask any college or intermediary for the fee committee notification covering that college for the current academic year. A legitimate seat has one. If the number you are quoted differs from the notification, the difference is not a fee. | What is regulated | What sits outside the NMC 50% cap | |---|---| | Tuition for 50% of seats in private colleges and deemed universities, set at government-college rates for that state under Section 10(1)(i) of the NMC Act 2019 | Management and NRI seats generally | | The full fee structure of every private college, approved by the state fee fixation committee | Hostel, mess, caution deposit, examination and university charges — separate heads, fixed by the committee but not capped at government tuition rates | | Capitation in any form — prohibited outright, under any label | Nothing. There is no lawful version of it. | The 50% fee guideline has been litigated and stayed in parts before various High Courts since its introduction, so its application varies by state and year. Treat the state fee committee notification as the operative document for your specific college rather than the national guideline. ## ₹22 Lakh a Year Is Not ₹22 Lakh A management seat quoted at ₹22 lakh annual tuition costs considerably more than ₹121 lakh over five and a half years. Hostel and mess run ₹1.5–3 lakh a year in most private colleges. There is a caution deposit, a university registration charge, examination fees each year, and for a Northeast student, flights. Several colleges also apply an annual escalation clause. Before accepting any management seat, get three things in writing from the college: the fee committee notification, the complete first-year outflow including every non-tuition head, and the escalation clause for subsequent years. Families who budget from the tuition line alone routinely face a bill 25–35% higher at reporting, and by then the deposit is paid and you have nothing left to bargain with. Read next: how to tell a legitimate management seat from a capitation racket , NRI quota eligibility under the 2026 rules , and state-by-state fee comparison . ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes. Management quota is a legitimate seat category in private medical colleges and deemed universities, recognised under the regulatory framework and filled through official counselling. What is illegal is the thing often sold alongside it: paying money outside the approved fee structure to obtain a seat. That is capitation, and it is prohibited both by NMC regulation and by state anti-capitation legislation. No. Every MBBS and BDS seat in India, management quota included, is allotted through centralised counselling by MCC or a state authority, in order of NEET rank within the relevant category. There is no parallel channel. Anyone offering to reserve, block or confirm a management seat before allotment is either misdescribing what they do or operating outside the law. Ask them to name the counselling round the seat will be allotted in — the answer usually ends the conversation. Roughly ₹12–45 lakh per year depending on state and college, against government-quota seats that can be under a lakh. The precise figure is not negotiable and not a matter of opinion: every state constitutes a fee fixation committee — typically chaired by a retired High Court judge and including a chartered accountant and a senior civil servant — which approves the full fee structure for each private college, including non-tuition heads. No charge outside that approved notification is permitted. Ask for the committee notification for that specific college and year before you accept any number. Yes, without exception. NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every MBBS and BDS seat in India regardless of quota, nationality or college type. Any institution or agent offering admission without a valid NEET score is violating NMC rules, and a degree obtained that way is at risk of not being recognised. There is no NEET-free route. Generally not, and this is widely misunderstood. Under Section 10(1)(i) of the NMC Act 2019, the Commission frames guidelines fixing fees for 50% of seats in private medical colleges and deemed universities at rates equivalent to government medical colleges in that state. That benefit is directed first at candidates who have taken government or state quota seats, up to half the sanctioned strength. Management and NRI seats typically fall outside it. Also note the cap covers tuition for the academic period only — hostel, mess, deposits and examination fees are separate heads fixed by the state committee. Management quota is open to any Indian citizen who has qualified NEET, with no domicile or nationality condition in most colleges. NRI quota requires documented NRI, OCI or PIO status, or sponsorship by a qualifying relative, and is governed by Supreme Court criteria that MCC restated in its notice of 27 May 2026. NRI fees are usually higher and often denominated in US dollars. NRI cut-offs are typically lower than management, which is exactly why the eligibility documentation is scrutinised so closely. Our NRI quota page sets out the criteria. When the arithmetic works and only then. A management seat at ₹22 lakh a year is roughly ₹1.2 crore across five and a half years once hostel and living costs are counted. That is a serious commitment against a starting salary that will not clear it quickly. It makes sense for families who can genuinely sustain it, and it is the wrong answer for families who would need to sell land or take a loan they cannot service. We will tell you which of those you are in. ## Before You Commit to ₹1 Crore Over Five Years, Let Someone Run the Numbers With You. Send us your NEET UG 2026 rank, category and what your family can realistically sustain. We'll show you which management seats are reachable, what each actually costs in full, and whether a government or state quota route is still live. --- # NRI Quota MBBS Admission 2026 — Eligibility Rules Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/nri-quota-mbbs-admission-2026.html # NRI Quota MBBS Admission 2026 — Who Actually Qualifies MCC restated NRI eligibility in May 2026 and tied it directly to the Supreme Court's ruling in Anshul Tomar. The sponsor rules are narrower than families expect, and verification comes after allotment. That is a bad time to discover a gap in your documents. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. MCC's notice of 27 May 2026 governs NRI candidature for 2026-27 UG and PG counselling, including candidates converting from Indian to NRI status. It applies the Supreme Court criteria from W.P. No. 13393 of 2007 and others (2008), Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P. Eligibility runs through parents or first-degree relations who are NRIs ordinarily residing abroad, with certain close blood relatives permitted to sponsor. NEET UG 2026 is mandatory. Sponsors claiming guardianship must prove bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. Documents are verified again at the college and routed to the Indian Mission for confirmation. ## The Blood-Relation Test Is the Whole Question | Relationship | Position | |---|---| | Candidate is themselves an NRI, OCI or PIO | Eligible on documentation | | Mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | Eligible | | First-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | May be considered eligible | | Grandparents, paternal or maternal uncles and aunts | May sponsor, subject to conditions and proof of relationship | | First cousins | May sponsor in defined circumstances only | | Friends, employers, distant relatives, non-blood acquaintances | Not accepted. Rejected at verification. | MCC has also operated a priority ordering in recent cycles: NRI candidates and children of NRIs allotted first, first-degree and second-degree relatives of NRI wards second. Where seats are limited, that ordering decides outcomes as much as rank does. State counselling authorities may apply additional NRI conditions of their own. Read the specific state notification alongside the MCC notice — they are not always aligned. ## What Survives Verification, and What Does Not | Document | Why it is asked for | |---|---| | Certificate from the Indian Diplomatic Mission or the Ministry of External Affairs confirming NRI status | The primary proof. Several state notifications require it specifically from the mission in the sponsor's country of residence. | | Sponsor's passport and valid visa or residence permit | Establishes that the sponsor is ordinarily residing abroad, not merely holding a foreign document. | | Relationship documents proving the blood relation | Birth certificates, family records, or other proof linking candidate and sponsor. This is where most claims fail. | | Notarised sponsorship affidavit | Formal undertaking by the sponsor to fund the course. | | Proof of bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 | Required where the sponsor claims guardianship. An affidavit asserting guardianship is not the same as an order establishing it. | | Bank guarantee for the remaining course duration | Required by many deemed universities at the time of admission. | Verification is retrospective. Documents go in at counselling, then get checked again when you report to the allotted college, which forwards copies to MCC, which sends them to the relevant mission or embassy. A claim that passes the portal has not passed anything yet. Build the documentation before you register — not after an allotment arrives. ## Lower Cut-Off, Considerably Higher Price | Seat type | Typical annual tuition | |---|---| | Deemed university NRI seat | Commonly USD 25,000–60,000, frequently with a bank guarantee for the remaining course duration | | State government college NRI seat | Generally lower than deemed university NRI rates; varies widely by state | | PIMC Meghalaya 2026 — a published example | USD 43,000 NRI, against ₹22,00,000 Management and ₹4,95,000 State Quota. Counselling fee ₹25,000 for NRI applicants. | The lower cut-off is the entire commercial logic of the NRI seat, and it is why the eligibility documentation is scrutinised as hard as it is. A family that genuinely qualifies should use the route. A family constructing a claim to reach the lower cut-off is buying a rejection at verification, several months and one deposit later. See also: management quota, which has no nationality condition , and PIMC Meghalaya , which publishes all three quota fees side by side. ## Questions Parents Ask Us MCC issued a notice on 27 May 2026 setting out eligibility for candidates claiming NRI or OCI status, or seeking conversion from Indian nationality to NRI, for the 2026-27 counselling year. It applies the criteria laid down by the Supreme Court in W.P. No. 13393 of 2007 and others (2008), Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P. Broadly: a candidate whose mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad is eligible, and a candidate whose first-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad may also be considered. Certain close blood relatives — grandparents, uncles, aunts and in defined circumstances first cousins — may sponsor under specific conditions. Only close blood relatives. Parents, real siblings, paternal and maternal uncles and aunts, and grandparents are the accepted categories, with first cousins in defined circumstances. Sponsorship by a friend, a distant relative, an employer or any non-blood acquaintance is rejected at document verification. MCC also requires documentary proof that a sponsor claiming guardianship is a bona fide legal guardian under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 — a plain affidavit asserting guardianship is not sufficient. Yes. NEET UG 2026 qualification is mandatory for admission to any MBBS or BDS seat in India under the NRI quota, exactly as for every other category. Nationality does not exempt anyone. Selection is purely through the counselling process run by MCC or the relevant state authority. Documents submitted at counselling are verified again when you report to the allotted college, and the college forwards copies to MCC, which routes them to the relevant Indian Mission or embassy for confirmation. Incomplete or false documentation results in rejection of candidature. Several state notifications go further — the Meghalaya advertisement for 2026, for instance, provides for cancellation of admission at any stage, a three-year debarment, and legal or criminal proceedings against the candidate and, where applicable, the parents or guardian. Substantially more than management quota, and often denominated in foreign currency. Deemed university NRI tuition commonly runs in the region of USD 25,000–60,000 per year, and many colleges additionally require a bank guarantee covering the remaining duration of the course at the time of admission. State government NRI seats are generally cheaper than deemed university NRI seats. As a concrete 2026 example, PA Sangma International Medical College in Meghalaya published NRI tuition at USD 43,000 against ₹22,00,000 for its Management Quota. Several states do not provide NRI quota seats in medical admissions, and the list changes. Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttarakhand have been among them in recent cycles. Check the specific state notification for the current year rather than relying on a general list, including ours — this is one of the details states revise quietly. Cut-offs are lower because the applicant pool is smaller and the fees are higher, not because the standard is different. It is a legitimate route for a family that genuinely meets the criteria. It is not a route to manufacture. Attempting to construct an NRI claim through a sponsor who does not meet the blood-relation test is the most common way candidates lose a seat after allotment, because verification happens after allotment, not before. ## Verification Happens After Allotment. That Is the Worst Time to Find a Problem. If you are considering the NRI route, send us the sponsor relationship and the documents you currently hold. We'll tell you before you register whether the claim survives the Supreme Court criteria — not after you've paid a deposit. --- # Management Quota BDS Admission 2026 — Fees & Process Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/management-quota-bds-admission-2026.html # Management Quota BDS Admission — What It Is, and What Nobody Can Sell You Management quota exists in dental colleges too, and it gets misrepresented there just as badly as it does in medical admission. This page covers how a BDS management seat is really allotted, who fixes the fee, and why an offer to book one before counselling should worry you rather than reassure you. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. Management quota BDS seats exist in private dental colleges and deemed universities, regulated by the National Dental Commission (NDC), which replaced the Dental Council of India on 19 March 2026. They are filled through the same centralised counselling as every other seat, in NEET UG rank order, at fees approved by the state fee fixation committee. NEET UG qualification is mandatory. No consultant, agent or college representative can reserve one for you before allotment. Expect roughly ₹4–15 lakh per year at most private colleges, rising to ₹20–35 lakh at premium deemed universities. ## Same Dental Chair, Three Very Different Prices | Category | Who can claim it | Typical annual fee | Relative cut-off | |---|---|---|---| | Government / State Quota | Domicile or nativity conditions of the state apply | Lowest — often under ₹1 lakh in government dental colleges | Highest | | Management Quota | Any Indian citizen with a valid NEET UG score. No domicile bar at most colleges. | Roughly ₹4–15 lakh at private colleges, ₹20–35 lakh at premium deemed universities | Lower | | NRI Quota | NRI, OCI or PIO status, or sponsorship by a qualifying relative under Supreme Court criteria | Highest — typically ₹25–60 lakh, often in USD | Lowest | Deemed dental universities typically run this split close to 85% management and 15% NRI of their total intake in a branch, since there is no separate government quota inside a deemed institution. Standalone private colleges under a state authority usually run something closer to 50% state, 30–35% management, and 15–20% NRI — the exact split is fixed by each state and varies. Confirm the actual split for your target college with the state counselling authority before you plan around it. ## Six Steps, All of Them on a Government Portal | # | Step | |---|---| | 1 | Qualify NEET UG 2026. Mandatory for every dental seat in the country, management quota included. | | 2 | Register on the relevant counselling portal — MCC for deemed dental universities, the state authority for private colleges. | | 3 | Pay the registration fee and security deposit. Deemed university deposits are substantial and forfeitable — read the forfeiture rule before locking choices. | | 4 | Fill and lock your choice list. Allotment runs down your list in order, so sequence matters. | | 5 | Receive provisional allotment, download the letter, and report for document verification within the published window. | | 6 | Pay the approved fee to the college directly, against a receipt, at the rate in the fee committee notification. | Notice what is absent from that list: any point at which a third party can commit a seat to you. If somebody claims influence at step 5, ask what mechanism they are describing — allotment is generated entirely by the counselling authority from locked choices and rank order. ## The National Dental Commission, Not a College Marketing Office The National Dental Commission Act, 2023 was modelled directly on the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, and carries the same architecture: it empowers fee regulation for 50% of seats in private dental colleges and deemed universities, aimed at bringing that portion in line with government-college rates in that state. Each state additionally runs its own fee fixation committee — typically chaired by a retired High Court judge, with a chartered accountant and senior civil servant among the members — which approves the complete fee structure for every private dental college, tuition and non-tuition heads together. This gives you a straightforward test. Ask any college or intermediary for the fee committee notification covering that college for the current academic year. A legitimate seat has one. If the number you are quoted differs from the notification, the difference is not a fee. | What is regulated | What sits outside the 50% guideline | |---|---| | Tuition for 50% of seats in private dental colleges and deemed universities, at government-college rates for that state | Management and NRI seats generally | | The full fee structure of every private dental college, approved by the state fee fixation committee | Hostel, mess, caution deposit, instrument and examination charges — separate heads, fixed by the committee but not capped at government rates | | Capitation in any form — prohibited outright under the National Dental Commission Act, 2023 | Nothing. There is no lawful version of it. | As with the equivalent medical-college guideline, implementation of the 50% principle has been contested and stayed in parts before various High Courts, so its application varies by state and year. Treat the state fee committee notification as the operative document for your specific college rather than the national guideline. ## Dentistry Has Its Own Hidden Cost Line — Instruments A management seat quoted at ₹10 lakh annual tuition runs well past ₹55 lakh across five years once real costs are added. Hostel and mess run ₹1.5–3 lakh a year in most private colleges. There is a caution deposit, a university registration charge, and examination fees each year. Dentistry adds one more line most students underestimate badly: a personal instrument kit, which for BDS students routinely runs ₹80,000–₹2 lakh depending on the college's required specification, plus ongoing consumables through clinical years. Before accepting any management seat, get three things in writing from the college: the fee committee notification, the complete first-year outflow including every non-tuition head and the instrument kit specification, and any escalation clause for subsequent years. Families who budget from the tuition line alone routinely face a bill 25–35% higher at reporting. Read next: NRI quota BDS eligibility under the 2026 rules , how to tell a legitimate seat from a capitation racket , and the full BDS admission and fee guide . ## Questions Parents Ask Us Yes. Management quota is a legitimate seat category in private dental colleges and deemed universities, filled through official counselling and regulated by the National Dental Commission (NDC), which replaced the Dental Council of India on 19 March 2026. What is illegal is paying anything outside the approved fee structure to obtain a seat — that is capitation, prohibited under the National Dental Commission Act, 2023. No. Every BDS seat in India, management quota included, is allotted through centralised counselling — MCC for deemed universities, the state authority for private colleges — strictly in NEET UG rank order within the relevant category. There is no channel that reserves a seat before allotment. Ask anyone claiming otherwise which counselling round the seat will be allotted in. Roughly ₹4–15 lakh per year at most private dental colleges, rising to ₹20–35 lakh at premium deemed universities in metro cities, against government-quota seats that can be under ₹1 lakh. The precise figure for any specific college is set by the state fee fixation committee, not the college's own discretion — ask for that committee's notification before accepting any number. Yes, without exception. NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every BDS seat in India regardless of quota or college type. There is no NEET-free route, and any institution suggesting otherwise is violating the regulatory framework — a degree obtained that way risks not being recognised. Not to management or NRI seats specifically. The National Dental Commission Act, 2023 — modelled directly on the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 — empowers fee regulation for 50% of seats in private dental colleges and deemed universities, at rates comparable to government colleges in that state. That benefit is aimed at government and state-quota seats up to that 50% threshold, not at management or NRI seats. As with the equivalent medical-college guideline, implementation has been contested in some states, so the state fee committee's own notification for that specific college and year is the number that governs, not a national average. Management quota is open to any NEET UG-qualified Indian citizen, with no domicile or nationality condition at most colleges. NRI quota requires documented NRI, OCI or PIO status, or sponsorship by a qualifying blood relative, under the same Supreme Court criteria MCC restated for 2026 counselling. NRI fees run considerably higher — often ₹25–60 lakh a year or the USD equivalent — against a smaller, less competitive applicant pool. See our NRI quota BDS page for the full eligibility test. When the full five-year arithmetic works, not just the headline tuition figure. A seat at ₹10 lakh a year is close to ₹55–65 lakh across the course once hostel, instruments, clinical materials and living costs are added — dentistry carries meaningfully higher personal-equipment costs than MBBS. It is a reasonable route for a family that can sustain that without financial strain, and the wrong one for a family that would need to borrow against land. We will tell you honestly which side of that line you're on. ## Before You Commit to ₹60 Lakh Over Five Years, Let Someone Run the Numbers With You.

Who is allowed to sponsor you is narrower than most families assume, and the check happens after allotment, which is the worst possible moment to find out your papers do not hold. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. MCC's notice of 27 May 2026 governs NRI candidature for 2026-27 counselling, and applies to BDS exactly as it applies to MBBS. It follows the Supreme Court criteria from Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P. (2008): eligibility runs through parents or first-degree relations who are NRIs ordinarily residing abroad, with certain close blood relatives permitted to sponsor. NEET UG 2026 is mandatory. Sponsors claiming guardianship must prove bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. Expect fees around ₹25–60 lakh a year at deemed dental universities, often billed in USD. ## The Blood-Relation Test Is the Whole Question | Relationship | Position | |---|---| | Candidate is themselves an NRI, OCI or PIO | Eligible on documentation | | Mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | Eligible | | First-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | May be considered eligible | | Grandparents, paternal or maternal uncles and aunts | May sponsor, subject to conditions and proof of relationship | | First cousins | May sponsor in defined circumstances only | | Friends, employers, distant relatives, non-blood acquaintances | Not accepted. Rejected at verification. | This is the identical eligibility framework used for medical admission — MCC's 27 May 2026 notice was written to cover 2026-27 UG counselling generally, which includes both MBBS and BDS. Dental colleges do not run a separate, looser standard. State counselling authorities may layer on additional NRI conditions of their own for dental seats specifically. Read the specific state dental counselling notification alongside the MCC notice — they are not always identical. ## What Survives Verification, and What Does Not | Document | Why it is asked for | |---|---| | Certificate from the Indian Diplomatic Mission or the Ministry of External Affairs confirming NRI status | The primary proof, often required specifically from the mission in the sponsor's country of residence. | | Sponsor's passport and valid visa or residence permit | Establishes that the sponsor is ordinarily residing abroad, not merely holding a foreign document. | | Relationship documents proving the blood relation | Birth certificates, family records, or other proof linking candidate and sponsor. This is where most claims fail. | | Notarised sponsorship affidavit | Formal undertaking by the sponsor to fund the course. | | Proof of bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 | Required where the sponsor claims guardianship. An affidavit alone is not the same as an order establishing it. | | Bank guarantee for the remaining course duration | Required by many deemed dental universities at the time of admission. | Verification is retrospective. Documents go in at counselling, get checked again on reporting to the allotted college, and are then routed through MCC to the relevant mission or embassy. A claim that passes the portal has not passed anything yet. Build the documentation before you register — not after an allotment arrives. ## Lower Cut-Off, Considerably Higher Price | Seat type | Typical annual tuition | |---|---| | Deemed dental university NRI seat | Often USD 20,000–40,000, or ₹25–60 lakh, frequently with a bank guarantee for the remaining course duration | | State private college NRI seat | Generally lower than deemed university NRI rates; varies widely by state and college | | Comparable management quota seat, same college | ₹4–15 lakh at most private colleges, ₹20–35 lakh at premium deemed universities | The lower cut-off is the entire commercial logic of the NRI seat, and it is why documentation is scrutinised as hard as it is. A family that genuinely meets the criteria should use the route. A family constructing a claim to reach the lower cut-off is buying a rejection at verification, several months and one deposit later.

It follows the Supreme Court criteria from W.P. No. 13393 of 2007 and others (2008), Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P.: a candidate whose mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad is eligible, and a candidate whose first-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad may also be considered. Grandparents, uncles, aunts and, in defined circumstances, first cousins may sponsor. Only close blood relatives — parents, real siblings, paternal and maternal uncles and aunts, and grandparents, with first cousins in defined circumstances. Sponsorship by a friend, distant relative, employer or any non-blood acquaintance is rejected at document verification, exactly as in the medical stream. A sponsor claiming guardianship must prove bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890. Yes, without exception. NEET UG 2026 qualification is mandatory for admission to any BDS seat in India under the NRI quota, exactly as for every other category and exactly as for MBBS. Selection runs purely through the counselling process operated by MCC or the relevant state authority. Typically ₹25–60 lakh per year, often denominated in USD at deemed dental universities, against management quota fees of roughly ₹4–15 lakh at the same tier of college. The total course cost across five years, including hostel, instruments and living expenses, can exceed ₹1 crore at a top deemed university under the NRI route. Documents submitted at counselling are verified again when you report to the allotted dental college, which forwards copies to MCC for confirmation through the relevant Indian Mission or embassy. Incomplete or false documentation results in rejection of candidature, and several state notifications provide for cancellation of admission at any later stage plus a multi-year debarment. Verification happens after allotment, which is the worst time to discover a problem with the sponsor relationship. Broadly similar, though it varies by college and state. Deemed dental universities commonly run around 15% of total seats as NRI, matching the general Supreme Court-guided ceiling seen across deemed medical and dental institutions. Standalone private dental colleges under state authorities usually reserve a smaller NRI share, often 15–20% within their non-state-quota pool. Confirm the specific split with the state counselling authority for your target college — it is not uniform nationally. ## Verification Happens After Allotment. That Is the Worst Time to Find a Problem. If you are considering the NRI route for BDS, send us the sponsor relationship and the documents you currently hold. We'll tell you before you register whether the claim survives the Supreme Court criteria — not after you've paid a deposit. --- # Management Quota MD/MS Admission 2026 — Fees & Rules Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/management-quota-md-ms-admission-2026.html # Management Quota MD/MS Admission — Fees, Branch and the Real Total Management quota is a legitimate way into an MD or MS seat. At postgraduate level the money is bigger and the gap between branches is wider than most families expect, which is where the confusion usually starts. This page sets out how PG management seats get allotted and what actually drives the price. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. Management quota MD/MS seats exist in private medical colleges and deemed universities, filled through official NEET PG counselling — MCC for the 50% All India Quota and deemed universities, the state authority for the state quota — strictly in rank order, at fees approved by the institution's fee schedule or the state fee fixation committee. NEET PG qualification is mandatory. Expect roughly ₹20–65 lakh per year at deemed universities depending sharply on branch, with state-affiliated private colleges generally lower for the same specialisation. ## Same MD, Same MS — Very Different Fee by Specialisation | Branch tier | Examples | Typical deemed-university management fee | |---|---|---| | Premium clinical | Radiology, Dermatology, Orthopaedics | ₹40–65 lakh/year or more | | Core clinical | General Medicine, General Surgery, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Paediatrics | ₹25–45 lakh/year | | Diagnostic & non-clinical | Pathology, Microbiology, Community Medicine, Anaesthesia | ₹20–35 lakh/year, often the most affordable route to an MD | This spread is the single biggest financial decision inside the management-quota route. A candidate choosing between Radiology at a premium deemed university and Anaesthesia or Pathology at the same institution can be looking at a difference of ₹60 lakh or more across the full course — before any consideration of which career genuinely fits. ## Six Steps, All of Them on a Government Portal | # | Step | |---|---| | 1 | Qualify NEET PG. Mandatory for every MD/MS seat, management quota included, on top of a completed MBBS internship and valid council registration. | | 2 | Register on the relevant counselling portal — MCC for deemed universities and the 50% All India Quota, or the state authority for the state quota. | | 3 | Pay the registration fee and security deposit. Deemed university PG deposits are substantial and forfeitable — read the forfeiture rule before locking choices. | | 4 | Fill and lock your choice list across branches and colleges. Allotment runs down your list in order. | | 5 | Receive provisional allotment, download the letter, and report for document verification within the published window. | | 6 | Pay the approved fee to the institution directly, against a receipt, at the rate in the fee committee notification or the deemed university's approved schedule. | As at every other level, there is no point in this sequence where a third party can commit a seat to you. Allotment is generated entirely by MCC or the state authority from locked choices and NEET PG rank. ## The Same 50% Rule Applies at PG Level Too It is a common misconception that the NMC's fee-parity guideline covers only MBBS. Section 10(1)(i) of the NMC Act, 2019 empowers the Commission to fix fees for 50% of seats in private medical institutions and deemed universities, and the cost per student is worked out separately for undergraduate and postgraduate courses — but the same 50%-at-government-rate principle applies to both. In practice, that benefit is aimed at government and state-quota PG seats, not management or NRI seats, which continue to be priced by the institution within the state fee committee's approved structure. Ask any college or deemed university for the fee schedule covering that specific branch and academic year. A legitimate management seat has a documented rate. If the figure you are quoted differs from the published schedule, the difference is not a fee. Implementation of the 50% principle has been litigated and contested in several states for both UG and PG seats, so its practical application varies by state and year. Treat the specific institution's published fee schedule as the governing figure. ## ₹1.2 Crore Over Three Years Is Not a Rare Figure at PG Level A management PG seat quoted at ₹40 lakh annual tuition runs to roughly ₹1.2 crore across three years before hostel, mess, and living costs are added — and premium clinical branches can run considerably higher still. Deemed university PG deposits are typically larger than UG deposits and carry the same forfeiture risk if not read carefully before choices are locked. Before accepting any management MD/MS seat, get the complete fee schedule in writing, the full first-year outflow including every non-tuition head, and the deposit forfeiture clause. Compare the three-year total against the branch's realistic post-qualification earning trajectory, not just the annual figure in isolation.

Management quota is a legitimate seat category in private medical colleges and deemed universities offering MD and MS, regulated by the National Medical Commission and filled through official NEET PG counselling in rank order. What is illegal is paying anything outside the approved fee structure to obtain a seat — that is capitation, prohibited under the NMC Act, 2019, exactly as it is at UG level. Deemed university PG fees commonly run ₹20–65 lakh or more per year depending on branch and institution, with clinical branches such as Radiology, Dermatology and Orthopaedics at the higher end. State-affiliated private colleges are generally lower than deemed universities for the same branch, though still well above government-college rates. The precise figure is set by the state fee fixation committee or the deemed university's own approved schedule, not by informal negotiation. Yes, without exception. NEET PG qualification is mandatory for every MD and MS seat in India, management quota included, along with an NMC-recognised MBBS degree, completed internship, and valid medical council registration. There is no seat available on management quota alone without clearing the exam. Yes, and this is a genuine point of confusion worth clearing up. Section 10(1)(i) of the NMC Act, 2019 covers both MBBS and postgraduate courses — the cost per student is calculated separately for undergraduate and postgraduate seats, but the same 50%-at-government-rate principle applies to both. That said, the guideline targets government and state-quota seats specifically, not management or NRI seats, and enforcement has been contested in several states, so the state fee committee notification for the specific college and branch remains the operative document. Because demand tracks post-qualification earning potential closely. Radiology, Dermatology and Orthopaedics routinely command the highest management-quota fees because they lead to the highest-earning, most flexible private practice. Branches like Community Medicine, Pathology or General Medicine in a less sought-after institution typically cost meaningfully less for the same MD degree. Choosing a branch purely on fee-affordability without weighing career fit and earning trajectory is a common and expensive mistake. When the three-year total — not the annual figure — fits your family's genuine capacity without requiring debt the eventual salary can't service quickly. A ₹40 lakh-a-year deemed university seat is roughly ₹1.2–1.5 crore across three years before hostel and living costs. That is a serious commitment even against a specialist's eventual income, and the arithmetic needs to be run specifically for your target branch and college, not assumed from a general figure. ## The Branch You Choose Sets 30 Years of Earnings. Weigh It Against the Fee Before You Lock a Choice. Send us your NEET PG 2026 rank, the branches you'd genuinely practise, and your family's budget. We'll show you which management seats are reachable at each fee level, and whether the AIQ or state route gives you a better shot first. --- # NRI Quota MD/MS Admission 2026 — Sponsor Rules Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/nri-quota-md-ms-admission-2026.html # NRI Quota MD/MS Admission 2026 — Who Actually Qualifies MCC's May 2026 notice on NRI eligibility covers postgraduate counselling as well, so the same Supreme Court blood-relation test that governs an MBBS seat governs your NEET PG seat. The fees are far higher, and the spread between branches is wide enough to change your whole plan. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. MCC's notice of 27 May 2026 governs NRI candidature for 2026-27 UG and PG counselling together, which includes NEET PG (MD/MS). It follows the Supreme Court criteria from Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P. (2008): eligibility runs through parents or first-degree relations who are NRIs ordinarily residing abroad, with certain close blood relatives permitted to sponsor. Under the same Supreme Court guidelines, 15% of total seats in deemed universities are typically reserved for NRI candidates. NEET PG qualification is mandatory regardless of nationality, and fees run 1.5–2x management quota, sometimes reaching ₹1.2–3 crore across three years for premium clinical branches. ## The Blood-Relation Test Is Identical to UG | Relationship | Position | |---|---| | Candidate is themselves an NRI, OCI or PIO | Eligible on documentation | | Mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | Eligible | | First-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | May be considered eligible | | Grandparents, paternal or maternal uncles and aunts | May sponsor, subject to conditions and proof of relationship | | First cousins | May sponsor in defined circumstances only | | Friends, employers, distant relatives, non-blood acquaintances | Not accepted. Rejected at verification. | MCC's notice does not create a separate, looser postgraduate standard — the same document governs both UG and PG counselling for 2026-27, so a sponsor relationship that would fail for an MBBS candidate fails equally for an MD or MS candidate. MD/MS candidates additionally need a recognised MBBS degree, completed internship, and valid council registration — NRI status has no bearing on those underlying eligibility requirements. ## What Survives Verification, and What Does Not | Document | Why it is asked for | |---|---| | Certificate from the Indian Diplomatic Mission or the Ministry of External Affairs confirming NRI status | The primary proof, often required specifically from the mission in the sponsor's country of residence. | | Sponsor's passport and valid visa or residence permit | Establishes that the sponsor is ordinarily residing abroad, not merely holding a foreign document. | | Relationship documents proving the blood relation | Birth certificates, family records, or other proof linking candidate and sponsor. This is where most claims fail. | | Notarised sponsorship affidavit | Formal undertaking by the sponsor to fund the course. | | Proof of bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 | Required where the sponsor claims guardianship. An affidavit alone does not establish it. | | Bank guarantee for the remaining course duration | Required by many deemed universities for postgraduate NRI admission, and typically larger in absolute terms than at UG level given higher PG fees. | Verification is retrospective. Documents go in at counselling, get checked again on reporting to the allotted institution, and are routed through MCC to the relevant mission or embassy. Build the documentation before you register for NEET PG counselling — not after an allotment arrives and a substantial deposit is already paid. ## The NRI Premium Compounds With Branch Demand | Branch tier | Management quota, deemed university | NRI quota, same tier college | |---|---|---| | Premium clinical — Radiology, Dermatology, Orthopaedics | ₹40–65 lakh/year | USD 60,000–120,000/year at some institutions | | Core clinical — Medicine, Surgery, OBG, Paediatrics | ₹25–45 lakh/year | USD 40,000–80,000/year | | Diagnostic & non-clinical — Pathology, Anaesthesia, Community Medicine | ₹20–35 lakh/year | Considerably higher than management, but the narrowest gap of the three tiers | A full three-year premium-branch NRI package can run ₹1.2–3 crore at the top end. Evaluate branch and quota together rather than separately — a non-clinical branch under NRI quota can, at some institutions, cost less than a premium clinical branch under management quota at the very same college.

It follows the Supreme Court criteria from W.P. No. 13393 of 2007 and others (2008), Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P.: a candidate whose mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad is eligible, and a candidate whose first-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad may also be considered. Grandparents, uncles, aunts and, in defined circumstances, first cousins may sponsor. Under the Supreme Court guidelines that MCC's notice applies, 15% of total seats in deemed universities and many private medical colleges are reserved for NRI, OCI or PIO candidates. This is a consistent structural figure across most deemed institutions, though some private colleges under state authorities set their own, sometimes different, NRI proportion. Substantially more than management quota, and often 1.5 to 2 times higher for the same branch at the same institution. Premium clinical branches such as Radiology or Dermatology can run into the tens of thousands of US dollars annually under NRI quota at a deemed university, with the full three-year package for a high-demand branch sometimes reaching ₹1.2–3 crore. Many deemed universities also require a bank guarantee covering the remaining course duration at admission. Yes, without exception, along with a recognised MBBS degree, completed internship, and valid state or national medical council registration. NRI status affects which quota and fee band you're considered under — it does not substitute for qualifying the exam or meeting the underlying medical education requirements. If NRI seats remain vacant after the scheduled counselling rounds, they are commonly converted to management quota seats and offered in the stray vacancy round, at management-quota fee rates rather than NRI rates. This is worth knowing if you are genuinely NRI-eligible but did not secure a seat in the main NRI rounds — a later stray-round management seat can sometimes end up more affordable than expected. Documents submitted at counselling are verified again on reporting to the allotted institution, which forwards copies to MCC, routed to the relevant Indian Mission or embassy for confirmation. Incomplete or false documentation results in rejection of candidature, and several state notifications provide for cancellation of admission at any later stage plus debarment. Verification happens after allotment and after the deposit is paid — build the documentation before you register, not after. ## Verification Happens After Allotment. That Is the Worst Time to Find a Problem. If you are considering the NRI route for MD or MS, send us the sponsor relationship, your NEET PG rank, and the branches you'd consider. We'll tell you before you register whether the claim survives the Supreme Court criteria, and which branch-and-quota combination actually fits your budget. --- # Management Quota MDS Admission 2026 — Fees by Branch Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/management-quota-mds-admission-2026.html # Management Quota MDS Admission — The Branch Decides More Than the Quota Does Management quota is a legitimate route into an MDS seat, but the branch you pick inside it decides more than the quota does. Fees and earning potential move together, and families usually work that out late. Here is how MDS management seats are allotted, and what sets the price. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. Management quota MDS seats exist in private dental colleges and deemed universities, regulated by the National Dental Commission (NDC). They are filled through official NEET MDS counselling — MCC for the 50% All India Quota and deemed universities, the state authority for the remaining state quota — strictly in rank order, at fees approved by the state fee fixation committee. NEET MDS qualification is mandatory. Expect roughly ₹5–15 lakh per year at most private colleges, rising to ₹20–35 lakh for competitive branches at premium deemed universities. ## Same Degree, Very Different Fee by Specialisation | Branch tier | Examples | Typical management fee band | |---|---|---| | High demand | Orthodontics, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, Prosthodontics | Upper end of range — often ₹15–35 lakh/year at deemed universities | | Moderate demand | Conservative Dentistry & Endodontics, Periodontics, Pedodontics | ₹8–18 lakh/year | | Lower demand | Public Health Dentistry, Oral Pathology, Oral Medicine & Radiology | ₹5–10 lakh/year, sometimes below | This is the single biggest lever a family has over the total cost. Two candidates with similar NEET MDS ranks can end up paying very different totals depending purely on which branch they choose, because demand — not the degree itself — sets the management-quota price. Choosing a branch on genuine interest and career fit, with fee as one factor rather than the only one, tends to produce better outcomes than chasing the branch with the highest post-qualification income on paper. ## 50% AIQ, the Rest State — And a Third Route Through Deemed Universities | Route | Counselling authority | Where management quota sits | |---|---|---| | 50% All India Quota, government dental colleges | MCC | No management quota — pure merit, no domicile bar | | Deemed universities and central institutions | MCC | Management quota is the majority of the seat pool here; ~15% reserved NRI | | 50% state quota, private & government colleges | State authority | Management quota is a defined slice, typically 15–35% of the state-run pool | A candidate serious about MDS should run all three routes in parallel rather than betting on one: register for MCC's AIQ round on the national rank, and register separately with the relevant state authority for the state quota round, since the two do not share data and a strong AIQ rank does not carry over automatically into a state seat. As with every quota category, there is no point in this process where an agent or consultant can commit a seat to you. Allotment is generated purely from locked choices and rank order by the counselling authority — MCC or the state body — not by any private arrangement. ## The National Dental Commission, Not a College Marketing Office The National Dental Commission Act, 2023 was modelled directly on the National Medical Commission Act, 2019 and carries the same fee-regulation architecture, aimed at bringing a defined share of seats in private dental colleges and deemed universities in line with government-college rates. Each state's own fee fixation committee — typically chaired by a retired High Court judge, with a chartered accountant and senior civil servant among the members — separately approves the complete fee structure for MDS seats at every private college, tuition and non-tuition heads together. Ask any college or intermediary for the fee committee notification covering that specific college, branch and academic year. A legitimate management seat has one. If the number you are quoted differs from the notification, the difference is not a fee. As with the medical-college equivalent, application of the fee-parity principle has been contested in parts before various High Courts and varies by state and year. Treat the state fee committee notification as the operative document rather than a general rule. ## A Clinical Postgraduate Degree Has Its Own Equipment Line A management seat quoted at ₹12 lakh annual tuition runs well past ₹40 lakh across the three-year course once real costs are added. Hostel and mess run ₹1.5–3 lakh a year at most colleges, and clinical branches — Prosthodontics, Orthodontics, and Oral Surgery especially — carry substantial instrument, material and laboratory costs on top of tuition, often running into several lakh across the course depending on the branch and college requirements. Before accepting any management MDS seat, get the fee committee notification, the complete first-year outflow including every non-tuition and equipment head, and the escalation clause for years two and three, all in writing. Branch-specific instrument and material costs are the line families most often underestimate at reporting.

Management quota is a legitimate seat category in private dental colleges and deemed universities offering MDS, regulated by the National Dental Commission (NDC), which replaced the Dental Council of India on 19 March 2026. Seats are filled through official NEET MDS counselling, in rank order. What is illegal is paying anything outside the approved fee structure — that is capitation, prohibited under the National Dental Commission Act, 2023. Roughly ₹5–15 lakh per year at most private dental colleges, rising to ₹20–35 lakh at premium deemed universities for competitive branches such as Orthodontics, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, and Prosthodontics. Less competitive branches such as Public Health Dentistry or Oral Pathology often sit at the lower end of that range, or below it. Confirm the exact figure against the specific college's fee committee notification. Yes, without exception, for every MDS seat in India including management quota. There is no seat available on a BDS degree alone, and no route that skips NEET MDS. A candidate with a comparatively modest rank can still reach a management seat in a less competitive branch — but the qualifying exam itself is never optional. It varies by state and by whether the college is a deemed university or a state-affiliated private college. In deemed universities, management quota commonly makes up the large majority of the total intake in a branch — since deemed institutions run little to no separate government quota — with roughly 15% reserved for NRI candidates. State-affiliated private colleges usually run something closer to a 50% state quota, 30–35% management, 15–20% NRI structure, though the exact figures are set independently by each state and change periodically. Not to management or NRI seats specifically. The National Dental Commission Act, 2023, modelled on the National Medical Commission Act, 2019, empowers fee regulation for a share of seats in private dental colleges and deemed universities at rates closer to government institutions. That benefit is aimed at government and state-quota seats, not management or NRI seats, and — mirroring the equivalent medical-college rule — implementation has been contested and varies by state. Treat the specific college's fee committee notification as the governing document, not a national figure. There is no universal answer — it depends on your rank, your interest, and the earning trajectory of the branch relative to what you're paying. Orthodontics and Prosthodontics with implantology generally carry the strongest post-qualification earning potential and, correspondingly, the highest management-quota fees. Branches like Public Health Dentistry or Oral Pathology cost less but lead toward institutional or public-health careers rather than high-earning private practice. We walk students through this trade-off against their specific NEET MDS rank rather than a generic ranking. ## The Branch Sets Your Practice for 30 Years. Choose It With the Fee in View, Not the Other Way Round. Send us your NEET MDS 2026 rank, the branches you'd genuinely practise, and your family's budget. We'll show you which management seats are reachable at each fee level, and whether the AIQ or state route gives you a better shot first. --- # NRI Quota MDS Admission 2026 — Sponsor & Fee Rules Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/nri-quota-mds-admission-2026.html # NRI Quota MDS Admission 2026 — Who Actually Qualifies MCC's May 2026 notice on NRI eligibility covers postgraduate counselling, so the same Supreme Court blood-relation test that governs MBBS and BDS applies to your NEET MDS seat. Verification comes after allotment, and that is a bad moment to learn the sponsor relationship does not hold up. Last verified · 28 August 2026 The short version. MCC's notice of 27 May 2026 governs NRI candidature for 2026-27 UG and PG counselling together, which includes NEET MDS. It follows the Supreme Court criteria from Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P. (2008): eligibility runs through parents or first-degree relations who are NRIs ordinarily residing abroad, with certain close blood relatives permitted to sponsor. NEET MDS qualification is mandatory regardless of nationality. Fees run considerably higher than management quota and vary sharply by branch — a high-demand branch under NRI quota can cost several times a lower-demand branch under the same category. ## The Blood-Relation Test Is Identical to UG | Relationship | Position | |---|---| | Candidate is themselves an NRI, OCI or PIO | Eligible on documentation | | Mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | Eligible | | First-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad | May be considered eligible | | Grandparents, paternal or maternal uncles and aunts | May sponsor, subject to conditions and proof of relationship | | First cousins | May sponsor in defined circumstances only | | Friends, employers, distant relatives, non-blood acquaintances | Not accepted. Rejected at verification. | MCC's notice does not create a separate, looser postgraduate standard — the same document governs both UG and PG counselling for the 2026-27 cycle, so a sponsor relationship that would fail for an MBBS or BDS candidate fails equally for an MDS candidate. Some states layer their own additional NRI conditions onto dental postgraduate counselling specifically. Read the relevant state notification alongside the MCC notice before you plan around either alone. ## What Survives Verification, and What Does Not | Document | Why it is asked for | |---|---| | Certificate from the Indian Diplomatic Mission or the Ministry of External Affairs confirming NRI status | The primary proof, often required specifically from the mission in the sponsor's country of residence. | | Sponsor's passport and valid visa or residence permit | Establishes that the sponsor is ordinarily residing abroad, not merely holding a foreign document. | | Relationship documents proving the blood relation | Birth certificates, family records, or other proof linking candidate and sponsor. This is where most claims fail. | | Notarised sponsorship affidavit | Formal undertaking by the sponsor to fund the course. | | Proof of bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 | Required where the sponsor claims guardianship. An affidavit alone does not establish it. | | Bank guarantee for the remaining course duration | Required by many deemed universities for postgraduate NRI admission specifically. | Verification is retrospective. Documents go in at counselling, get checked again on reporting to the allotted college, and are routed through MCC to the relevant mission or embassy. Build the documentation before you register for NEET MDS counselling — not after an allotment arrives and a deposit is already paid. ## Quota and Branch Move the Price Together | Branch tier | Management quota, deemed university | NRI quota, same tier college | |---|---|---| | High demand — Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Prosthodontics | ₹15–35 lakh/year | Considerably higher, often USD-denominated | | Moderate demand — Conservative Dentistry, Periodontics, Pedodontics | ₹8–18 lakh/year | Meaningfully higher than management, same college | | Lower demand — Public Health Dentistry, Oral Pathology | ₹5–10 lakh/year | Higher than management, but the smallest absolute gap of the three tiers | The practical implication: a candidate weighing NRI eligibility against budget should evaluate quota and branch together, not one after the other. A lower-demand branch under NRI quota can, in some colleges, cost less than a high-demand branch under management quota at the very same institution.

It applies the Supreme Court criteria from W.P. No. 13393 of 2007 and others (2008), Anshul Tomar vs. State of M.P.: a candidate whose mother or father is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad is eligible, and a candidate whose first-degree relation is an NRI ordinarily residing abroad may also be considered. Grandparents, uncles, aunts and, in defined circumstances, first cousins may sponsor. Only close blood relatives — parents, real siblings, paternal and maternal uncles and aunts, and grandparents, with first cousins in defined circumstances. Sponsorship by a friend, distant relative, employer or any non-blood acquaintance is rejected at document verification. A sponsor claiming guardianship must prove bona fide legal guardianship under the Guardians and Wards Act, 1890 — the same standard applied across UG and PG counselling. Yes, without exception. NEET MDS qualification is mandatory for admission to any MDS seat in India under the NRI quota, exactly as for every other category. Nationality and sponsorship never substitute for the qualifying exam — they only affect which counselling category and fee band a qualified candidate is allotted under. Substantially more than management quota and often denominated in foreign currency, with the exact figure varying sharply by branch. A deemed university NRI seat in a high-demand branch such as Orthodontics or Oral Surgery can run considerably higher than the same college's management quota fee for that branch. Many deemed universities additionally require a bank guarantee covering the remaining course duration at the time of admission. Yes, and often more sharply. Because the NRI applicant pool for MDS is small to begin with, a high-demand branch at a premium deemed university under NRI quota commands a significant premium over the same branch under management quota at the same college. If budget is the binding constraint, a less competitive branch under NRI quota can sometimes cost less than a high-demand branch under management quota — branch choice and quota choice need to be evaluated together, not separately. Documents submitted at counselling are verified again when you report to the allotted college, which forwards copies to MCC, routed to the relevant Indian Mission or embassy for confirmation. Incomplete or false documentation results in rejection of candidature, and several state notifications provide for cancellation of admission at any later stage, debarment, and further proceedings against the candidate and sponsor. Verification happens after allotment — build the documentation before you register, not after. ## Verification Happens After Allotment. That Is the Worst Time to Find a Problem. If you are considering the NRI route for MDS, send us the sponsor relationship, your NEET MDS rank, and the branches you'd consider. We'll tell you before you register whether the claim survives the Supreme Court criteria, and which branch-and-quota combination actually fits your budget. --- # Private Medical College Admission 2026 — Fees & Process Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/private-medical-college-admission-2026.html # Private Medical College Admission — Where Most Students Actually End Up Private and deemed colleges hold the majority of MBBS seats in India. For most NEET-qualified students they are not a consolation prize, they are the realistic destination. The question is what the seat costs in full, and the fee sheet you are shown is rarely the answer. The short version. India has roughly 290 private medical colleges holding about 60% of MBBS seats. Deemed universities fill seats through MCC; state private colleges fill them through state counselling. Every fee structure is approved by the relevant state fee fixation committee, and no charge outside that approved notification is permitted. The NMC 50% fee guideline caps tuition on half the seats at government rates, directed first at government and state quota candidates — it does not cover hostel, deposits or examination heads, and generally does not reach management or NRI seats. NEET UG 2026 is mandatory for every one of them. ## Deemed University or State Private — You Register in Different Places | | Deemed university | State private college | |---|---|---| | Counselling authority | MCC | The state counselling authority | | Domicile | Open to all India | State quota carries domicile or nativity conditions; management quota generally does not | | Fee approval | Parallel approval route, bound by NMC disclosure norms and the capitation prohibition | State fee fixation committee — typically chaired by a retired High Court judge | | Security deposit | Substantial and forfeitable. Read the forfeiture rules before locking choices. | Varies by state; several states publish a separate registration or security deposit table | | Where students get caught | Locking a deemed choice without understanding deposit forfeiture | Assuming MCC registration covers state private colleges. It does not. | ## Six Heads, and Only One Gets Quoted | Head | What to ask for | |---|---| | Tuition | The state fee fixation committee notification for this college and this academic year. Not a brochure. | | Escalation | Whether tuition rises annually, and by how much. Get the clause, not a reassurance. | | Hostel and mess | Commonly ₹1.5–3 lakh a year. Whether it is compulsory in year one. | | Caution deposit | Amount, and the exact conditions under which it is refunded. | | University and examination charges | Annual, and often omitted from the headline figure. | | Bond or service obligation | Whether one attaches, its value, and its duration. Bond liability outlives the course. | Put those six numbers into a five-and-a-half-year total before you accept anything. Families who work from the tuition line alone routinely find the first-year bill 25–35% above expectation, and the deposit is usually already paid by then. If any part of the payment is requested in cash, or described as a donation, building fund or development contribution, stop. That is capitation, it is prohibited under any label, and paying it leaves you with no enforceable claim to anything. What to do instead → ## Fee Is One Variable. Case-Load Is the One That Matters. Two private colleges can charge within a lakh of each other and offer completely different training. The variable that decides that is the teaching hospital — its bed occupancy and daily out-patient load. A college attached to a hospital that is largely empty will graduate you with a valid degree and very little clinical exposure, and you will feel it during internship and again at PG entrance. Before you rank a college on your choice list, look at three things: NMC recognition status for the current year and intake, the teaching hospital's actual patient load, and where its graduates place in PG entrance. Location and campus photographs tell you nothing useful. Related: state-wise fee comparison , management quota explained , NRI quota eligibility , and the deadline tracker for all nineteen states . ## Questions Parents Ask Us India has around 290 private medical colleges, holding roughly 60% of total MBBS seats — approximately 60,000. For a NEET-qualified student who misses the All India Quota or state government cut-off, private colleges are not a fallback so much as the statistically likely destination. That is worth planning for financially before results, not after. A private medical college affiliated to a state university fills its seats through that state's counselling authority, and its fees are approved by the state fee fixation committee. A deemed-to-be university fills its seats through MCC counselling and follows a parallel fee approval route, though it remains bound by NMC disclosure norms and the same prohibition on capitation. Practically: if you want a deemed university seat you register with MCC; if you want a state private college seat you register with that state. Not in the way it is usually described. Under Section 10(1)(i) of the NMC Act 2019 the Commission frames guidelines fixing fees for 50% of seats in private colleges and deemed universities at government-college rates for that state, with the benefit directed first at candidates who have taken government or state quota seats. It applies to tuition for the academic period. Hostel, mess, deposits, examination and university charges are separate heads. Management and NRI seats generally sit outside it. And the guideline has been challenged and stayed in parts before several High Courts, so its practical application varies by state. The predictable ones are hostel and mess (commonly ₹1.5–3 lakh a year), a refundable caution deposit, university registration, annual examination fees, and in some colleges a stated annual escalation on tuition. All of these should appear in the state fee fixation committee notification for that college, because no charge outside the approved notification is permitted. Ask for the notification. A college that will not produce it is telling you something. Bonds are more commonly attached to government seats, but several private and state-quota arrangements carry service obligations or financial undertakings. NEIGRIHMS, for example, publishes a substantial service bond alongside a very low fee. Read the bond clause before the deposit, because bond liability survives the course and is enforceable. Check the college against the NMC list of recognised institutions for the current year, and check that the specific MBBS course and intake are recognised, not merely that the institution exists. Then check that the seat is being offered through the counselling authority you are registered with. A recognised college can still be the wrong route if the seat is being offered outside counselling. ## Six Fee Heads. Most Colleges Quote One. We'll Get You All Six in Writing. Send us the colleges you are considering and we'll pull the fee committee notification, the non-tuition heads, the escalation clause and the bond position, so you are comparing real totals rather than headline tuition. --- # Capitation Fee & MBBS Admission Fraud — How to Spot It Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/capitation-fee-medical-admission-fraud.html # Capitation Fee and Medical Admission Fraud Every counselling season, families across the Northeast lose sums between two lakh and forty lakh to people who cannot deliver what they are selling. The mechanics are consistent and the warning signs are recognisable. This page is the one we would want a parent to read before the first payment, not after. Two facts settle most of it. First, NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every MBBS and BDS seat in India — every quota, every college, every nationality. Second, every seat is allotted through centralised counselling by MCC or a state authority, in rank order from locked choice lists. Nobody outside those authorities can reserve, block or guarantee a seat. Capitation — any payment above the approved fee structure, under any name — is prohibited outright. ## It Is Never Framed as Anything Illegal Nobody opens with an illegal offer. The pitch is built out of true statements arranged to imply something false. Management quota is real. Cut-offs for it are genuinely lower. Some colleges do have unfilled seats late in the cycle. All true. The false step is the one in the middle — that a payment to an intermediary influences who gets allotted. | What you are told | What is actually the case | |---|---| | “We have a seat reserved in the management quota.” | Management seats are allotted through counselling on rank order. Nothing is held aside for an intermediary. | | “Pay the donation now, the fee structure is separate.” | Any payment above the approved structure is capitation, prohibited under any label including donation, building fund, corpus and development contribution. | | “The window closes tonight.” | Counselling deadlines are published on government portals and verifiable in thirty seconds. Manufactured urgency exists to prevent that check. | | “This college admits without NEET for NRI candidates.” | NEET is mandatory for every seat regardless of nationality or quota. No exception exists. | | “Transfer to this account, the college will adjust it.” | Legitimate fees are paid to the institution against a receipt, at the notified rate. Personal accounts and cash are the mechanism, not an inconvenience. | | “We will refund fully if the seat does not come through.” | A refund promise on an unlawful payment is unenforceable. There is nothing to enforce it against. | ## Ask These Before Any Money Moves | # | Question | What a legitimate answer looks like | |---|---|---| | 1 | Which counselling round will this seat be allotted in, and on which portal will I see it? | A specific round and a named government portal you can open yourself. | | 2 | Can I see the state fee fixation committee notification for this college and this year? | The document, produced without hesitation. | | 3 | Is every rupee payable to the institution, against a receipt, at the notified rate? | Yes, with no separate component to anyone else. | | 4 | Will you put scope, fees and refund terms in a written agreement? | Yes. A consultancy fee for guidance is legitimate and should be documented. | | 5 | What happens to my money if I am not allotted this seat? | A clear written term, distinguishing the consultancy fee from any college payment. | | 6 | Are you guaranteeing the seat? | No. Anyone who says yes has answered the only question that mattered. | A consultancy charging a documented fee for guidance is doing something ordinary and lawful. We do it. The line is not whether money is charged — it is whether the money is described honestly and whether anything is being promised that the payer cannot deliver. ## Move Quickly, and Write Everything Down | # | Step | |---|---| | 1 | Collect the evidence before contacting anyone — receipts, bank records, WhatsApp and message history, call logs, and every document you were given. Take screenshots; accounts get deleted. | | 2 | File a written police complaint and keep the acknowledgement. A verbal complaint is not a record. | | 3 | Report to the state counselling authority and to the NMC, naming the college if one was named to you. Colleges are sometimes unaware their name is being used. | | 4 | If money moved through a bank or UPI, inform your bank in writing immediately. Speed matters here more than anywhere else. | | 5 | Take advice from a lawyer, not from another consultant. The second consultant in a fraud sequence is a documented pattern. | | 6 | Keep pursuing your legitimate counselling options in parallel. The rounds do not pause while a complaint proceeds, and losing the seat you could have had compounds the loss. | Recovery is difficult and frequently incomplete. That is the honest position, and it is the reason this page exists at the front of the process rather than the back. ## It Costs Us Business, and That Is Rather the Point A page saying no seat can be guaranteed will lose us the enquiries from families who want to hear otherwise. Those families will find someone who tells them what they want, and a proportion of them will lose money. We have sat across the table from enough of them, after the fact, to prefer the version where they read this first. What we actually sell is competence in a process that is genuinely difficult to run alone — overlapping portals, documents that fail verification for reasons nobody explains, choice lists that need ordering by someone who has seen how allotment moves between rounds. That is worth paying for. Access is not for sale, by us or by anyone. Related reading: how management quota legally works , NRI quota eligibility under the 2026 rules , and private college fees and the charges that appear later . ## Questions Parents Ask Us Any payment demanded for admission over and above the fee structure approved by the competent authority, whatever it is called. Donation, building fund, development contribution, corpus fund, infrastructure charge and cash-in-hand to an agent are all the same thing under a different label. NMC regulations prohibit institutions from charging capitation in any form, and states have their own prohibition of capitation fee legislation on top of that. No. Every MBBS and BDS seat in India is allotted by MCC or a state counselling authority, from locked choice lists in NEET rank order within the relevant category. There is no discretionary pool. Nobody outside those authorities can guarantee, block or reserve a seat, and a guarantee offered before allotment is a guarantee of nothing. Ask which counselling round the seat will be allotted in and on which portal you will see it. The answer is usually where the conversation stops. No. NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every MBBS and BDS seat in India, in every quota, at every college type, for every nationality. An institution offering admission without a valid NEET score is violating NMC rules, and a degree obtained through such an admission carries a real risk of not being recognised — which surfaces years later, at registration or at PG entrance, when nothing can be done about it. Six recur. A guarantee before allotment. A request for cash, or payment to a personal account rather than the college. A payment described as donation, building fund or development contribution. Pressure to decide within hours, usually framed around a closing window. Refusal to produce the state fee fixation committee notification for that college and year. And an unwillingness to put scope, fees and refund terms in a written agreement. Any one of these is enough to stop. Gather everything first — receipts, bank transfer records, WhatsApp and message history, call logs, and any document you were given. Then file a written police complaint, and report the matter to the state counselling authority and to the NMC, naming the college if one was named to you. If money moved through a bank, inform your bank in writing. Recovery is difficult and often incomplete, which is exactly why the diligence belongs before the payment. Consider taking legal advice from a lawyer rather than from another consultant. Because those are two different things. The seat category is legal. The allotment mechanism is centralised counselling on rank order, and nothing bypasses it. So a legitimate management quota admission looks like this: you register on the portal, you lock your choices, you receive an allotment, you report, and you pay the approved fee to the college against a receipt. An intermediary can help you do all of that competently. What an intermediary cannot do is change who gets allotted. Reading your rank against realistic options, checking your documents will survive verification, constructing a choice list in the right order, tracking overlapping deadlines across MCC and state portals, and telling you when something is not achievable. All of it sits before and around the counselling process, none of it inside the allotment. If a consultant's value proposition is access rather than competence, that is the wrong consultant. ## Send Us the Message Before You Send Them Money. We'll Tell You What It Is. Forward the WhatsApp, the fee sheet, the account details — whatever you were given. We'll read it and tell you plainly whether it describes a lawful admission route. No charge for that, and no obligation to use us afterwards. --- # Education Consultant in Guwahati — Medical Admissions Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/education-consultant-guwahati.html # Education Consultant in Guwahati — Medical Admissions, and Nothing Else We do one thing.

It Is Everything Around It. In eighteen years the pattern has not changed much. Students rarely lose a seat because of their NEET score. They lose it because a caste certificate was issued by the wrong authority, or a domicile claim did not survive scrutiny, or a choice list was filled in the order the portal happened to display colleges, or a reporting window closed while the family was still arranging a bank draft in another city. Assam adds its own difficulty. There is no private medical college in the state, so a student who misses the DME state quota has no local fallback. That pushes families toward decisions they have no reference point for — a college in Karnataka they have never visited, a deemed university fee structure nobody has explained, or an overseas agent promising something that will not survive the FMGE. Our job is to remove the parts of this that are avoidable. The rank is fixed by the time you reach us. The paperwork, the calendar and the arithmetic are not. Start here if you want to read before you call: Assam DME counselling 2026 , the deadline tracker for all nineteen states , or how management quota legally works . ## GS Road, Down Town, Beside Pantaloons | Address | Red Stone, 3F, GS Rd, beside Pantaloons, above ASG Eye Care, Bormotoria, Guwahati, Assam 781022 | |---|---| | Landmark | Same stretch as Down Town Hospital on GS Road.

From Paltan Bazaar railway station it is about twenty-five minutes in normal traffic; from LGBI Airport, around an hour. If you are travelling in specifically for a sitting, call ahead so we can fix a time rather than have you wait. ## Questions Parents Ask Us We are at Red Stone, 3F, GS Rd, beside Pantaloons, above ASG Eye Care, Bormotoria, Guwahati, Assam 781022. Walk-ins are fine on any day between 10 AM and 6 PM, though during counselling season the office fills up. Call 9085064444 first and we will hold a slot so you are not sitting in the waiting area with your parents for an hour. Bring your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, and your category and domicile certificates if you have them. Nothing. The first sitting is free and carries no obligation to sign anything. We will look at your score, your category, your domicile position and your family budget, and tell you which counselling routes are realistically open. If you decide you want us to handle the full counselling cycle, the service fee is discussed openly at that point and put in a written service agreement. We do not take money at the first meeting. No. MBBS and BDS are the bulk of what we do, but we also handle BAMS, BHMS and other AYUSH courses, and the postgraduate side — MD, MS, MDS, DNB, and the super specialty courses DM and MCh. Around a fifth of our work in any year is postgraduate. If you are a working doctor in Guwahati planning NEET PG, that is a conversation we have often. No, and you should leave any office that says otherwise. Every MBBS and BDS seat in India is allotted through centralised counselling by MCC or a state authority, on NEET rank and category. Nobody outside those authorities can allot a seat. What we can do is make sure your registration is correct, your documents survive verification, your choice list is ordered so it actually reflects your priorities, and you do not miss a reporting window. That is where most students lose seats — not on rank. Most of our students are not. We work with families across Assam and the rest of the Northeast, and a good part of the counselling cycle runs over phone, WhatsApp and video. That said, if you can make one trip to the office — ideally with a parent — the first sitting is far more useful in person. Document problems in particular are much faster to spot when the originals are on the table. Two things, both checkable. We are doctor-led: Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka, MBBS, sits in on case decisions, which matters when the question is whether a particular college or specialisation is worth the money. And we put our fees and scope in a written service agreement rather than a verbal understanding. If a consultancy will not put its scope in writing, that tells you what happens when something goes wrong. It means an Assam student who misses the state quota cut-off and does not clear All India Quota has to look outside the state, which is a bigger decision than most families expect — five and a half years away from home, and fees between four and forty lakh a year depending on quota and college. It also means the nearest genuinely open door is PA Sangma International Medical College in Ri-Bhoi, Meghalaya, about an hour away, whose Management Quota carries no domicile bar. Whether that is right for you depends entirely on the numbers, and that is the conversation to have before applications close, not after. ## Come In With Your Scorecard. Leave Knowing Exactly Where You Stand. Free first sitting, no obligation, no paperwork to sign. Open all seven days, 10 AM to 6 PM. Call ahead during counselling season and we'll hold a slot for you and your parents. --- # NEET Counselling Consultant for Northeast India Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/neet-counselling-consultant-northeast-india.html # NEET Counselling for Northeast India Students The Northeast turns out plenty of NEET-qualified students every year and has nowhere near enough seats to put them in. This page goes through what each of the eight states actually offers, and where your realistic options sit once state quota has taken its share. The structural problem. Assam, the largest state in the region, has no private medical college. The Northeast as a whole has almost none. So a student who misses their state government quota and does not clear All India Quota has to leave the region entirely — usually for Karnataka, Maharashtra or Uttar Pradesh at private fees. The two exceptions worth knowing are NEIGRIHMS Shillong, a central institute with reserved Northeast seats at government-level fees, and PA Sangma International Medical College in Ri-Bhoi, whose Management Quota has no domicile bar and sits an hour from Guwahati. ## Where Each State Leaves You Standing | State | Counselling route | What a local candidate should know | |---|---|---| | Assam | DME Assam | Government colleges only — no private medical college in the state. State quota eligibility was amended by Cabinet decision in October 2025; check your position against the current rule rather than an older one. Full page | | Meghalaya | MSCAME | PA Sangma International Medical College, Ri-Bhoi: 150 seats split 22 NRI, 64 State, 64 Management. State quota needs a Meghalaya ST/SC/OST certificate or PRC. Management quota is open to any Indian citizen. Full page | | Meghalaya — central | NEIGRIHMS | 50 MBBS seats, a large share reserved for the eight Northeast states, government-level fees and a service bond. Best value seat in the region for a mid-range rank. Full page | | Mizoram | H&TE Mizoram | State quota merit lists plus Zoram Medical College's NRI seats, which are among the few NRI seats inside the region. Full page | | Manipur | State DHS · RIMS & JNIMS | RIMS Imphal carries reserved seats for several Northeast states, allotted separately from Manipur's own state quota. Worth checking even if you are not from Manipur. | | Nagaland | Directorate of Technical Education | No state medical college historically, so Nagaland candidates depend heavily on central pool and reserved seats elsewhere. Notification timing is easy to miss — the windows are short. | | Tripura | DME Tripura | Agartala Government Medical College and Tripura Medical College. Domicile conditions are strict and schooling location is tested. | | Arunachal Pradesh | APDHTE | Tomo Riba Institute at Naharlagun plus reserved seats outside the state. Small numbers, so rank movement between rounds is unpredictable. | | Sikkim | State quota · SMIMS | Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences runs its own admission alongside state quota, with fee bands well above government rates. | State counselling structures change between years and several of these states publish with very little notice. The deadline tracker carries the current window for every state we monitor. ## Distance Has a Price, and It Is Not on the Fee Sheet When a Northeast student takes a private seat in Karnataka or Maharashtra, the conversation at home is almost always about tuition. It should also be about the four flights a year, the guardian who cannot get there in a week when something goes wrong, and five and a half years of a student being the only person from their state in the batch. Some students handle that easily. Some do not, and the ones who do not tend to discover it in the second year, when changing course costs a great deal more. This is not an argument against leaving the region. It is an argument for pricing the whole decision rather than the tuition line. Where a family is choosing between a distant private seat and a nearer one at similar cost, proximity is worth real money. One warning specific to this region. Northeast families are heavily targeted by overseas MBBS agents, because the local seat shortage is well known. Before signing anything for a foreign medical degree, check the current FMGE pass rate for that specific university — not the country, the university — and read our page on what MBBS abroad actually involves . A degree that does not get you through the screening test is not a degree you can practise on. ## One Trip In, the Rest Over WhatsApp Most of our students are not from Guwahati. Counselling registration, choice list building and deadline tracking work perfectly well over phone and WhatsApp, and during the season that is how most of the day runs. What is worth travelling for is the first sitting, with a parent, and with the original documents on the table. Domicile and category problems are much faster to catch in person, and they are the single most common reason a Northeast student loses an otherwise valid allotment. If you can make one trip to GS Road, make it that one. ## Questions Parents Ask Us All eight have government medical colleges, but the counselling structures differ sharply. Assam runs DME Assam counselling across its government colleges. Meghalaya runs counselling through MSCAME, now including PA Sangma International Medical College. Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim each handle state quota differently, and several have very few or no seats of their own, relying instead on central pool and reserved seats at institutions like NEIGRIHMS and RIMS Imphal. The right route depends on which state issued your domicile certificate, not which state you live in now. Very few, and that is the defining fact of the region. Assam has none. The main private options within the Northeast are PA Sangma International Medical College at Baridua in Ri-Bhoi, Meghalaya, and Zoram Medical College in Mizoram for its NRI seats. PIMC is the significant one for most families here because its 64 Management Quota seats carry no domicile condition and it sits about an hour from Guwahati. Everything else means leaving the region. The North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences at Shillong is a central institute with 50 MBBS seats, of which a substantial share is reserved for candidates from the eight Northeast states. Its first-year fee is a fraction of any private college, and it carries a service bond. For a Northeast student with a mid-range rank it is often the single best value seat available, and it is consistently underapplied for relative to that. That depends on the specific wording of the state rule, and it has changed. Assam amended its state quota eligibility criteria by Cabinet decision in October 2025, and several other states tie eligibility to where you did Class 10 and 12 rather than to a domicile certificate alone. Gujarat, Tamil Nadu and Telangana in particular test schooling location. Bring both your domicile certificate and your school records to a sitting — this is not a question that can be answered safely over a phone call. Not as such. The 15% All India Quota through MCC is open to everyone on NEET rank, with the usual category reservations. Where Northeast candidates do have specific routes is in central pool seats, NEIGRIHMS and RIMS reservations, and state-specific arrangements that vary by year. Those are worth checking individually rather than assuming, because the seat counts are small and the notifications are easy to miss. Further than families expect. In a typical year our students end up across Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Odisha and West Bengal, with a smaller number staying within the region at NEIGRIHMS, PIMC or a state government college. The practical point is that a college two thousand kilometres away has real costs beyond tuition — flights home, a guardian who cannot visit during an illness, and five and a half years of it. That belongs in the decision from the start, not as an afterthought. ## One Trip to Guwahati, and the Rest We Handle From Here.

Management quota admissions are separate from MCC/state counselling rounds but follow NMC regulations at every step. | Requirement | Details | |---|---| | Age | Minimum 17 years as of 31 December of admission year | | Qualification | 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology / Biotechnology | | Minimum Marks | General: 50% | SC/ST/OBC: 40% | PwD: 45% | | NEET Score | Mandatory — qualifying percentile sufficient for Management Quota | | Duration | 4.5 years + 1 year compulsory internship = 5.5 years total | | Governing Body | NMC — National Medical Commission , India | | PG Entrance | NEET-PG (after MBBS) | ### OEF Guidance for NE India Students — MBBS State-by-State ### Indicative Management Quota Fees | State | Annual Fee (Approx.) | |---|---| | West Bengal | ₹12,00,000 – ₹21,88,000 / year | | Chhattisgarh | ₹6,00,000 – ₹8,00,000 / year | | Odisha | ₹8,54,000 – ₹21,95,000 / year | | Kerala | ₹8,10,000 – ₹9,31,000 / year (Mgmt) · ₹21,65,000 – ₹22,74,000 (NRI) | | Uttar Pradesh | ₹10,77,000 – ₹13,74,000 / year | | Andhra Pradesh | ₹12,00,000 / year | | Telangana | ₹11,55,000 – ₹14,50,000 / year | | Tamil Nadu | ₹13,50,000 – ₹16,20,000 / year | | Maharashtra | ₹6,28,000 – ₹30,00,000 / year | | Karnataka | ₹12,00,000 – ₹25,16,000 / year | | Rajasthan | ₹24,50,000 – ₹32,50,000 / year (Mgmt) · ₹18,90,000 – ₹24,95,000 (General) | | Manipur | ₹17,00,000 / year | For exact college-wise fees see Colleges & Fees page → Top OEF Placement: M.S.

Based on your NEET score and goals, any of these may be the right choice for you. ### BDS — Bachelor of Dental Surgery 5-year programme. NDC recognised. Private dental practice earnings: ₹50,000–₹2L/month. Fees from ₹3.2L/year. Best option for NEET scores in the 300–450 range. ### BAMS / BHMS / AYUSH Courses 5.5-year degree. Full practice rights — prescribe, run clinic, hold doctor title. NCISM recognised. Lowest fees in India from ₹50,000/year. India's Ayurveda boom = growing demand. ## The ₹3 Lakh Deposit Mistake Most NEET Students Make Read this before any counselling round decision. This is OEF's single most important piece of guidance. Most states allow leaving a Round 1 management quota seat without losing your deposit; later rounds generally do not. We check the exact rule for your state and round before you accept, because this is where the ₹1–3 lakh is usually lost. Accept a seat in Round 2, Mop-up, or Stray Vacancy and do not join? Your entire deposit is permanently lost — no exceptions, no appeal, no refund possible. Where the money actually goes: deposit forfeiture rules differ by state and by round, and they are rarely explained at the point of allotment. Reading yours before you commit is the difference between a refundable exit and a lost ₹1–3 lakh. ### State-wise Security Deposits | State | MBBS Deposit | BDS Deposit | |---|---|---| | Uttar Pradesh | ₹2,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 | | Tamil Nadu | ₹1,00,000 | ₹2,00,000 (Stray) | | Andhra Pradesh | ₹3,00,000 (Stray) | ₹2,00,000 | | Chhattisgarh | ₹1,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 | | Madhya Pradesh | ₹1,00,000 (Rd 2+) | ₹1,00,000 | | Bihar | ₹2,00,000 | ₹50K–₹1L | | Karnataka | ₹2,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 | | West Bengal | ₹1,00,000 | ₹1,00,000 | Deposits are approximate. Always verify with state authority. OEF tracks round-wise rules for all states. Why OEF = Zero Lost Deposits Deposit forfeiture is the most expensive avoidable mistake in counselling, and the rules differ by state and by round. We read them with you before you lock choices, and we track each round so you know when confirming is safe and when holding is worth the risk. ## MBBS Admission FAQs Only the qualifying NEET percentile is required for management quota MBBS — 50th percentile for General category, 40th for SC/ST/OBC. You do not need a high rank. You simply need to have appeared in NEET and qualified. OEF guides students with qualifying scores every year into NMC-approved colleges. West Bengal has India's lowest MBBS management quota fees starting from approximately ₹6,50,000 per year. Murshidabad Medical College and KPC Medical College are among the most affordable NMC-approved options. For the full state-wise fee list, see our Colleges page or call OEF at 9085064444. Yes, NEET UG is mandatory for all MBBS admissions in India including management quota, NRI quota, and government seats. Any consultant or agent claiming MBBS admission without NEET is misleading you. The only requirement for management quota is the qualifying percentile — not a high rank. If you accept a management quota seat in Round 2, Mop-up, or Stray Vacancy rounds and do not report to the college, your security deposit (₹1–3 Lakhs depending on state) is permanently forfeited with no exceptions. This is why the Round 1 decision matters more than most families realise: in most states, exiting after a Round 1 allotment is permitted without forfeiture, while later rounds are not. We set out the exact rule for your state and round before you accept anything. ## Open Category Advantage — NE India Can Apply Anywhere Students from Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim can apply as Open Category candidates in any Indian state for management quota MBBS. No domicile restriction applies to private college management quota seats. A student from Nagaland pays the same Karnataka management quota fee as a student from Bangalore. OEF has used this flexibility for NE India families since 2008. We show students from Guwahati, Imphal, Shillong, and Kohima options across West Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Kerala simultaneously — ranked by NEET score, budget, and logistics. The right state for you depends on your score and what you can afford. We figure that out together in one free call. West Bengal (WB) is closest to NE India and has large established NE India student communities in Kolkata and Durgapur. Odisha is also very accessible. Chhattisgarh (RIMS Raipur from ₹6L/year) is among the cheapest MBBS in India and accessible via flight from Guwahati. Karnataka (from ₹12L/year) is the most popular with the widest choice of colleges. West Bengal 8–10 hrs train. Odisha 18 hrs. Chhattisgarh 20 hrs. All major NE India railway connections. Connect via Guwahati (1–2 hrs flight) then same connectivity. Strong NE India communities in Kolkata and Bangalore. Shillong to Guwahati airport 2 hrs. Best access: West Bengal, Odisha. All connect via Guwahati hub. OEF provides state-specific logistics guidance free of charge. ## From Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram — OEF Understands Your Situation Students from Northeast India — Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, and Sikkim — face unique challenges in the MBBS admission process. State quota seats in most of these states are limited. The competitive NEET ranks needed for government colleges are high. And information about management quota options in Karnataka, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, and other states is often inaccurate or incomplete. OEF has been guiding Northeast India students specifically since 2008 — from Guwahati to Imphal, from Shillong to Dimapur, from Agartala to Itanagar. We know the specific counselling process for NE state residents applying as Open Category candidates in other states. We know which Karnataka and Telangana colleges have strong NE India student communities. We know the realistic rank ranges needed in each state for management quota. NE India students can apply as Open Category candidates to management quota seats in any state — there is no domicile restriction. OEF maximises this by presenting options across all states simultaneously, matched to your specific NEET score and budget. This is why OEF has guided over 2000 students from all 8 NE states successfully. West Bengal (Durgapur, Kolkata) is closest — 12–14 hour drive or overnight train. Strong NE India student communities. Karnataka management quota is also highly popular. OEF has placed Assam and Meghalaya students across 15+ states. These states have very few private MBBS colleges. Most students need to study outside the state. Shija Hospitals Imphal is the only NMC-approved Manipur private option. Karnataka and WB are the top destinations OEF guides students to. No NMC-approved private MBBS colleges in either state. All management quota options are outside. Chhattisgarh (cheapest), West Bengal (closest), and Karnataka (quality + variety) are OEF’s top recommendations. Also see Based in or near Guwahati?

In 2026, it is one of the smartest medical careers a NEET student can choose — strong income, early independence, and a life of genuine service. Let us explain why. ## Let Us Have an Honest Conversation About BDS Every year in Guwahati, we sit across from families who come in with one question burning in their mind — "Doctor banna tha, but NEET score thoda kam aya. Ab kya?" We understand that feeling completely. You studied hard. Your family supported you. And the score wasn't what you hoped. That is genuinely difficult, and we respect that. But here is what years of working with Northeast India students has taught us: the students who chose BDS honestly and wholeheartedly — not as a "second choice" but as their profession — are doing extremely well today. We know a dentist in Jorhat earning ₹1.2 Lakhs per month from his own clinic — 4 years after graduating BDS. We know another in Shillong who started with a small practice and now has two clinics and three staff. These are real people whose admissions we guided. "The question is not whether BDS is good or bad. The question is — are you willing to commit to it fully? If yes, the career will reward you handsomely." — Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka, MBBS · Founder, OEF We will give you the complete picture — fees, colleges, career earnings, the honest comparison with MBBS — so you can make a decision your whole family is confident about. That is our promise. BDS — At a Glance ### Real Earnings — Indian Dentists 2024 *Earnings vary by location, specialisation, and practice quality. Figures based on OEF alumni feedback and industry data. ## BDS Eligibility — Simpler Than You Think Many students think they are not eligible for BDS. In most cases, they are wrong. Here is everything you need to know — clearly, without any confusion. ### Core Eligibility Requirements | Requirement | Details | |---|---| | 10+2 Subjects | Physics, Chemistry, Biology (or Biotechnology in place of Biology) | | 10+2 Marks | Minimum 50% aggregate for General | 40% for SC/ST/OBC | 45% for PwD | | Age | Minimum 17 years as on 31st December of the year of admission | | NEET Score | Must qualify NEET UG — any qualifying percentile is sufficient for management quota | | Nationality | Indian nationals, NRIs, OCI and PIOs all eligible | Good News for Lower Scores: If your NEET score is anywhere from 200 to 400, you can still get BDS management quota admission in a good private dental college. The management quota does not have a minimum score beyond qualifying the exam. This is the honest truth that many students don't know. ### Documents You Will Need ## Top BDS Colleges India — Where OEF Places Students These are colleges we hold current fee and cut-off data for. Real published figures — no inflated numbers to scare you, and no hidden surprises. | State | Management Quota Fee/Year | Notable Colleges | NE Student Popularity | Fee Data | |---|---|---|---|---| | West Bengal | ₹3.2 – ₹5 Lakhs | Burdwan Dental College, North Bengal Dental | | On file | | Rajasthan | ₹3.5 – ₹5.5 Lakhs | RUHS Dental, Pacific Dental College Udaipur | | On file | | Odisha | ₹4 – ₹6 Lakhs | Hi-Tech Dental, SCB Dental Cuttack | | On file | | Tamil Nadu | ₹5 – ₹8 Lakhs | Saveetha Dental, Meenakshi Ammal Dental | | On file | | Karnataka | ₹6 – ₹8 Lakhs | KIMS Dental Bangalore, RajaRajeswari Dental | | On file | | Maharashtra | ₹5 – ₹7.5 Lakhs | ACPM Dental Dhule, Krishna Dental Karad | | On file | OEF's Recommendation for NE India Students: West Bengal offers the best combination of affordable fees, decent infrastructure, and relatively easy travel from NE states. Karnataka colleges offer better brand recognition for those who can stretch the budget. We'll match your specific situation honestly after a free call. ## How BDS Admission Actually Works — No Confusion, Just Clarity We explain this to every family the same way — simply, clearly, without jargon. ### NEET UG Exam Appear and qualify. Even a passing score opens BDS management quota doors. We analyse your score immediately and show you the best colleges available for your score and budget. OEF confirms seat availability directly with the dental college management. No middlemen. We prepare your complete document kit. Submission handled with our guidance. You join your dental college. OEF assists with travel, hostel, and joining day. Warning — The Deposit Trap: State counselling authorities collect ₹1–2 Lakhs as security deposit. Accept a BDS seat in Round 2 or Mop-up and don't join? That money is permanently forfeited. OEF's Round 1 strategy ensures your deposit is always safe. Timeline: NEET result (June 2026) → MCC/State counselling (July–August 2026) → Management quota seats open on result day itself → OEF confirms seats within 48–72 hours of result. Time is of the essence — pre-register with OEF now. ## BDS Career Scope in India — What Nobody Tells You Most people talk about BDS fees. Very few talk about what the career actually looks like five years after graduation. We will. ### Career Paths After BDS The most popular route. After BDS, you can open your own clinic or join an existing one. In Tier-2 cities of Northeast India — Silchar, Jorhat, Imphal, Shillong — there is genuine shortage of qualified dentists. A well-run practice in these cities can earn ₹60,000–₹1.5 Lakhs per month within 3–4 years. After BDS + 1-year internship, you can appear for NEET MDS and pursue a 3-year specialisation. MDS specialists in Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, and Implantology earn ₹2–5 Lakhs per month and are in extremely high demand. This is where the really big earnings are. State Public Service Commissions, UPSC, and Defence Services (Army Dental Corps) recruit BDS graduates as Dental Officers. Government dental officer salary: ₹50,000–₹1.2 Lakhs/month with full benefits. Excellent job security for those who prefer that stability. ### MDS Specialisations — 2026 MDS is the gateway to significantly higher earnings. These are the most sought-after MDS specialisations and their approximate market earnings in India: NE India Advantage: Dental specialists are extremely rare in most NE Indian cities. A well-trained MDS Orthodontist in Imphal or Agartala charges ₹15,000–₹25,000 per case for braces — and has a waiting list. This scarcity is an opportunity for BDS graduates from NE India. ## BDS vs MBBS — The Truth Your Family Deserves We are asked this question every single day. Here is our completely honest answer. | Factor | MBBS | BDS | |---|---|---| | Duration | 5.5 years (4.5 + 1 yr internship) | 5 years (4 + 1 yr internship) | | NEET Score Needed (Mgmt Quota) | Qualifying score (higher in better states) | Qualifying score — any state, any score | | Management Quota Fees | ₹6L–₹45L per year | ₹3.2L–₹8L per year | | Total Cost (5 years, all-in) | ₹35L–₹2.5Cr (wide range) | ₹20L–₹50L (more predictable) | | Practice Scope | Full body medicine — very broad | Dental + maxillofacial — focused | | Competition for Seats | Very high | Moderate — easier to secure | | Early Earnings Potential | Moderate (long training period) | Strong from year 5–6 | | Specialisation (PG) | MD/MS via NEET-PG | MDS via NEET-MDS | | Government Jobs | Many options across India | Good options, fewer than MBBS | | Social Recognition | Very high ("Doctor" in all settings) | High —"Doctor saab" full respect | ### OEF's Honest Verdict If you have the budget and a high enough NEET score for MBBS in a good college — go for MBBS. We will always tell you that clearly. But if your score is in the 200–400 range, or your budget is ₹20–40 Lakhs total, then BDS is not a compromise — it is the right decision. A BDS graduate who commits fully to their profession and later does MDS will earn more than many MBBS doctors who are still waiting for government job postings. This is the reality of 2026 India. ## BDS Admission 2026 — FAQs These are the questions every BDS aspirant from Northeast India asks us. Answered honestly. For BDS management quota, you only need to qualify NEET UG at the minimum qualifying percentile — 213 marks for General category in 2026, 177 for SC/ST/OBC. There is no higher cutoff requirement for management quota seats. Students with scores as low as 200–250 have gotten BDS management quota admissions in good private dental colleges in West Bengal and Rajasthan. Call OEF immediately after results — 9085064444. Both BDS and BAMS are excellent careers — the choice depends on your interests and budget. BDS focuses on dental healthcare and has strong private practice earnings, especially with MDS specialisation. BAMS is a full Ayurvedic medicine degree with broader scope, lower fees, and growing demand. If you're genuinely interested in dental work and can invest ₹20–40 Lakhs total, BDS is the stronger choice. If budget is tight or you're drawn to holistic medicine, BAMS is excellent. OEF will guide you honestly based on your specific situation — this is a 30-minute free conversation, not a sales pitch. In Northeast India's Tier-2 cities — Jorhat, Silchar, Imphal, Agartala, Dimapur — a dentist with 3–5 years of experience and their own clinic earns approximately ₹50,000–₹1.5 Lakhs per month. In Guwahati, experienced dentists earn ₹1–2.5 Lakhs per month. The demand for dental services in NE India is significantly underserved, meaning qualified dentists have very high patient footfall with minimal competition compared to metro cities. Yes. All NE state governments recruit Dental Officers through their State Public Service Commissions. Assam PSC, Meghalaya PSC, Manipur PSC, and others have dental officer vacancies regularly. Additionally, the Government of India's Health Ministry recruits BDS holders through Central Health Services. The Army Dental Corps also recruits BDS graduates as Short Service Commission officers. Government dental officer salary starts at approximately ₹56,000–₹75,000/month (Level 10–11 pay matrix) with full DA, HRA, and allowances. NEET MDS (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test — Master of Dental Surgery) is the postgraduate entrance exam for MDS courses in India. After completing BDS and your 1-year compulsory rotating internship, you become eligible to appear for NEET MDS. The exam is conducted by NTA twice a year. MDS is a 3-year specialisation that dramatically increases your earning potential — MDS Orthodontists can earn ₹2–5 Lakhs per month in private practice. Based in or near Guwahati?

In 2026, they are among India's fastest-growing medical careers. Full doctor rights. Lowest fees. Real earnings. Let us explain everything honestly. ## What Nobody Tells You About BAMS in 2026 When a student from Nagaland or Mizoram comes to OEF and says "NEET score thoda kam aya, kya kare?" — the first thing we tell them is: please don't treat BAMS as a consolation prize. Because it is not one. India's Prime Minister launched an entire ministry for AYUSH. The Government of India is spending thousands of crores building AIIMS-equivalent AYUSH institutions. International demand for Indian Ayurvedic doctors is growing every year. Wellness tourism alone contributes ₹90,000 crore to India's economy — and BAMS doctors are at the centre of all of it. OEF has placed hundreds of students in BAMS colleges across India. Many of them initially came to us hoping for MBBS. Today, those same students are running their own Ayurvedic clinics, working in corporate wellness companies, and earning very well. Several have told us directly: "Sir, BAMS was the right decision for me. Tension mat karo." "A doctor who commits to their profession — whether MBBS, BDS, or BAMS — will always succeed. The degree matters less than the dedication. But the right guidance at the right time matters enormously." — Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka, MBBS · Founder, OEF · Est. 2008 Here is everything you need to know about BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, and BUMS — honestly, completely, with real numbers. BAMS — The Key Numbers ### Why BAMS Demand is Growing — 2026 ## BAMS · BHMS · BSMS · BUMS — Which One is Right for You? There are four AYUSH undergraduate degrees in India. Each has its own tradition, scope, and career path. Here is a clear guide to all four. ### BAMS — Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine & Surgery Most popular AYUSH degree · Governed by NCISM · ~26,000 seats India-wide BAMS is a full medical degree that covers both Ayurvedic and modern medical sciences. You study Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry alongside Dravyaguna (Pharmacology), Panchakarma, Shalyatantra (Surgery), and Kaumarabhritya (Paediatrics). The curriculum is rigorous — nearly as intensive as MBBS in the first two years. What makes BAMS unique is the integration of ancient wisdom with modern medical understanding. You graduate as a complete practitioner, not a limited one. - Prescribe Ayurvedic medicines — full rights - Run your own clinic / hospital — fully legal - Perform minor surgeries as per Shalyatantra - Title of "Doctor" — fully legal and recognised - Government AYUSH Medical Officer posts - Panchakarma therapy centres — high earning - Corporate wellness, insurance panel empanelment Note on Allopathy: BAMS doctors cannot prescribe allopathic medicines in most states (there are ongoing legal debates). We recommend being clear about this scope. A focused BAMS practice is highly rewarding — no need to enter territory that creates legal complications. ### BHMS — Bachelor of Homeopathic Medicine & Surgery Homeopathic medical system · Governed by NCH · ~13,000 seats India-wide BHMS is a 5.5-year degree (4.5 years + 1 year internship) in Homeopathic medicine, governed by the National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) under AYUSH Ministry. Homeopathy has a very large, loyal patient base in India — Bengal, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, and Kerala particularly. BHMS doctors are also in high demand globally, especially in Europe and Southeast Asia. The curriculum includes modern medical sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology) alongside Homeopathic philosophy, Materia Medica, and Repertory. BHMS graduates can run independent practices, join hospitals, and appear for MD (Homeopathy) postgraduate. | BHMS Key Details | | |---|---| | Duration | 4.5 Years + 1 Yr Internship | | Governing Body | National Commission for Homoeopathy (NCH) | | Total Seats | ~13,000 per year | | NEET Required | Yes — qualifying score | | Mgmt Quota Fee | ₹1.5L–₹4L/year | | PG Options | MD Homeopathy | BHMS is particularly popular in West Bengal, Maharashtra, and Kerala. OEF has established partnerships with BHMS colleges in Maharashtra and West Bengal. ### BSMS — Bachelor of Siddha Medicine & Surgery Ancient Tamil healing system · ~2,500 seats primarily in Tamil Nadu Siddha is one of the world's oldest medical systems, practiced primarily in Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. BSMS is a 5.5-year programme governed by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM). If you are from Tamil Nadu or are comfortable studying and practicing in Tamil-language settings, BSMS is a strong option. | Seats | ~2,500 (mostly TN) | |---|---| | Fee (Mgmt) | ₹1.5L–₹3.5L/year | | Language | Tamil (for clinicals) | | PG | MD Siddha | OEF's honest note for NE students: BSMS is primarily taught in Tamil Nadu with clinical training partly in Tamil. We generally advise NE India students to consider BAMS or BHMS instead, unless you have a strong Tamil language connection. Consult us before deciding. ### BUMS — Bachelor of Unani Medicine & Surgery Greco-Arabic medicine system · ~4,500 seats across India Unani is a centuries-old Greco-Arabic medical system practiced widely in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and other states. BUMS is a 5.5-year programme governed by NCISM. Unani practitioners have a dedicated patient base, particularly in Muslim-majority communities across India and internationally. | Seats | ~4,500 across India | |---|---| | Fee (Mgmt) | ₹1.5L–₹3.5L/year | | Key States | UP, MH, AP, J&K | | PG | MD Unani | OEF has placed students in BUMS colleges in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. Contact us for specific college recommendations based on your budget and score. ## Who Can Apply for BAMS, BHMS, BSMS, BUMS? | Requirement | Details — Same for All 4 AYUSH Degrees | |---|---| | 10+2 Subjects | Physics, Chemistry, Biology (or Biotechnology) — mandatory | | 10+2 Marks | Minimum 50% aggregate for General | 40% for SC/ST/OBC | 45% for PwD | | Age | Minimum 17 years as of 31st December of admission year. No upper age limit. | | NEET UG | Must qualify NEET UG. Qualifying percentile is sufficient for management quota. | | Number of Attempts | No cap on attempts as per NMC 2022 guidelines | Important for NE India Students: ST (Scheduled Tribe) students from NE states have a lower qualifying percentile requirement in NEET — 40th percentile instead of 50th. Many tribal students from Nagaland, Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh, and other NE states qualify under this category. Ensure your Tribe Certificate is in order before applying. ## Life After BAMS — The Income Reality in India 2026 Let us talk about the numbers. Because ultimately, your family is making a significant financial investment in your education, and they deserve honest projections. ### Career Paths for BAMS Graduates The most flexible route. After BMS + 1-year internship, you can open your own clinic or practice. In NE India — where Ayurvedic practitioners are relatively scarce — a well-established practice can earn ₹40,000–₹1.2 Lakhs per month within 4–5 years. Panchakarma centres are particularly profitable, with per-patient revenue of ₹5,000–₹30,000 per treatment course. All state governments — including Assam, Meghalaya, Manipur, and others — recruit BAMS/BHMS graduates as AYUSH Medical Officers. The starting salary is ₹45,000–₹75,000/month with full government benefits. NE states are particularly keen to post AYUSH doctors in rural and tribal areas — there are often reserved vacancies for local candidates. India's wellness industry is one of the fastest growing globally. BAMS graduates are employed by Patanjali, Dabur, Zandu, and dozens of other companies in R&D, quality control, and medical affairs. Corporate wellness programmes, Ayurvedic resorts, and yoga retreat centres pay ₹50,000–₹1.5 Lakhs/month. International opportunities exist in UAE, UK, Malaysia, and Canada for trained Ayurvedic doctors. After BAMS + internship, you can appear for AIAPGET (All India AYUSH PG Entrance Test) for MD Ayurveda — a 3-year specialisation. MD Ayurveda specialists in Panchakarma, Kayachikitsa, or Rasashastra earn significantly higher than general BAMS practitioners. This is the postgraduate route if you want deeper expertise and premium earnings. ### Earnings Snapshot — India 2024–25 *These are estimates based on OEF alumni feedback and industry data. Individual results vary significantly based on location, dedication, and practice quality. ## BAMS / AYUSH Admission 2026 — FAQs Yes. BAMS graduates are registered medical practitioners regulated by the National Commission for Indian System of Medicine (NCISM). They are legally recognised as doctors, can use the prefix "Dr.", run clinics, prescribe Ayurvedic medicines, and are empanelled with health insurance schemes including CGHS and ECHS. The Supreme Court of India has upheld BAMS doctors' rights to practice. In rural and semi-urban India, BAMS doctors are a critical part of the primary healthcare system. Yes. After completing BAMS, you can open an Ayurvedic clinic or hospital. In NE India, the Clinical Establishments Act governs registration. A single-doctor BAMS clinic can be registered relatively easily. Many BAMS doctors in Assam, Manipur, and Meghalaya run multi-department practices combining Ayurvedic consultation, Panchakarma therapy, and wellness services. With proper planning, a well-run practice in Guwahati or any NE state capital can become significantly profitable within 3–5 years. BAMS has more seats, more colleges distributed across India, and broader career options including government postings, pharma industry, and international opportunities. BHMS has a very dedicated patient base (homeopathy followers are extremely loyal), slightly lower fees in some states, and strong demand in West Bengal and Maharashtra. For NE India students, BAMS is generally the better recommendation because of seat availability, proximity of colleges, and career scope. However, if you have a genuine interest in homeopathy, BHMS is equally excellent. OEF will discuss this with you honestly in your free counselling session. The most affordable BAMS management quota fees are in Madhya Pradesh (₹1.5–2.5 Lakhs/year), Rajasthan (₹2–3 Lakhs/year), and Maharashtra (₹2–3.5 Lakhs/year). Karnataka runs the largest single network we track — 22 Ayurvedic Medical Colleges (AMCs) with 2026-27 management quota packages from ₹15.5 Lakh to ₹22 Lakh for the full course (hostel and mess extra), all ranked side by side on our Karnataka BAMS Fees 2026 comparison page . We hold fee, deposit and cut-off data for colleges across all these states, and will shortlist against your budget, NEET score and preferences. AIAPGET (All India AYUSH Post Graduate Entrance Test) is the national entrance exam for MD/MS Ayurveda, MD Homeopathy, MD Unani, and other AYUSH postgraduate courses. It is conducted by NTA.

We compiled our 2026-27 counselling fee-package sheet across 22 Karnataka AMCs and ranked them by total management-quota package, from ₹15,50,000 at Shri Bidarur Institute of Ayurveda to ₹22,00,000 at SSR Ayurvedic Medical College, Belagavi.

Last verified · 2026-08-23 · against OEF's 2026-27 BAMS fee-package sheet and independent research The range that matters. Management quota BAMS packages across these 22 Karnataka colleges run from ₹15,50,000 to ₹22,00,000 for the full course, all excluding hostel and mess (typically ₹75,000–₹1,00,000 a year extra, billed separately). These are package figures colleges quote for admission counselling, not a state-fixed KEA fee table like MBBS. Admission runs through Karnataka's AYUSH-UG counselling on your NEET UG 2026 rank. ## All 22 Colleges, One Comparison Table | # | College | Location | Mgmt Quota (total package) | NRI Quota (total package) | |---|---|---|---|---| | 1 | Shri Bidarur Institute of Ayurveda | Gadag, Gadag | ₹15,50,000 | — | | 2 | Atreya Ayurvedic Medical College | Doddaballapura, Bengaluru Rural | ₹16,00,000 | ₹17,00,000 | | 3 | Sri Raghavendra Ayurveda Medical College | Malladihalli, Chitradurga | ₹16,50,000 | — | | 4 | Sri Paripoorna Ayurveda Medical College | Nelamangala, Bengaluru Rural | ₹16,50,000 | — | | 5 | Prasanna Ayurvedic Medical College | Belthangady, Dakshina Kannada | ₹16,50,000 | — | | 6 | Maharaja Institute of Ayurveda Medical Sciences | Belawadi, Srirangapatna Taluk, Mandya | ₹16,50,000 | ₹17,00,000 | | 7 | Sushrutha Institute of Ayurveda Medical Sciences | Davanagere, Davanagere | ₹16,50,000 | — | | 8 | SBS Ayurvedic Medical College | Mundargi, Gadag | ₹16,50,000 | ₹19,50,000 | | 9 | Bapuji Ayurvedic Medical College | Challakere, Chitradurga | ₹17,00,000 | — | | 10 | Rajashekaraiah Ayurvedic Medical College | Solur, Magadi Taluk, Ramanagara | ₹17,00,000 | ₹18,00,000 | | 11 | Agastya Ayurveda Medical College | Koppal, Koppal | ₹17,00,000 | — | | 12 | Spoorthi Ayurvedic Medical College | Gangavathi, Koppal | ₹17,00,000 | — | | 13 | SSVR Ayurvedic Medical College, Harugeri | Harugeri, Raibag Taluk, Belagavi | ₹17,00,000 | ₹22,00,000 | | 14 | Dhanvantari Ayurveda College | Siddapura, Uttara Kannada | ₹17,50,000 | ₹20,00,000 | | 15 | KVG Ayurveda Medical College | Sullia, Dakshina Kannada | ₹18,00,000 | — | | 16 | Kanachur Ayurveda Medical College | Deralakatte, Mangalore, Dakshina Kannada | ₹18,00,000 | — | | 17 | Rural Ayurvedic Medical College, Belagavi | Auto Nagar, Belgaum, Belagavi | ₹18,00,000 | — | | 18 | KPSVS Ayurvedic Medical College | Manvi, Raichur | ₹18,00,000 | — | | 19 | Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College | Bidar, Bidar | ₹18,00,000 | — | | 20 | SGV Ayurvedic Medical College, Bailhongal | Bailhongal, Belagavi | ₹18,50,000 | — | | 21 | Rona Ayurvedic Medical College | Ron, Gadag | ₹18,50,000 | — | | 22 | SSR Ayurvedic Medical College, Belagavi | Belgaum, Belagavi | ₹22,00,000 | — | Source: OEF's internal 2026-27 BAMS/BNYS counselling fee-package sheet, compiled from figures quoted by each college for management-quota admission — not an official KEA or RGUHS fee-fixation notification. Figures exclude hostel, mess, caution deposit and university/examination charges. As the source document itself states: rates may change at any time and incentives vary by availability and demand. ## Package, Not Fixed Fee — Here Is the Difference Karnataka's MBBS management-quota fees are fixed every year by the state and published by KEA against a specific government order — every college charges exactly what the state allows. BAMS management-quota seats work differently: each Ayurvedic college negotiates and quotes its own lump-sum package directly, which is why two colleges an hour apart can differ by ₹5–6 lakh over the same course. That also means these packages are more negotiable, and more important to get in writing, than a KEA-fixed MBBS fee. Our research also found real inconsistencies in publicly available information for several of these colleges — conflicting seat-intake numbers, unconfirmed founding years, and in one case a fee-sheet location that did not match the college's own registered address. Each college's own page discloses exactly what we could and could not verify, rather than smoothing over the gaps. ## 22 Colleges Is a Real Choice. We'll Help You Narrow It Down. Assam's own government Ayurvedic college has very few seats, so most Northeast families exploring BAMS end up looking at exactly this list. That is a genuine advantage — but 22 colleges with real fee differences, location differences and verification gaps is also a lot to sort through alone. We are a Guwahati-based consultancy that has guided Northeast India students into BAMS, BHMS and MBBS seats since 2008. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and budget, and we will shortlist the colleges on this table that actually fit — and flag the ones that don't, honestly. Read our complete BAMS admission guide for eligibility, career scope and how BAMS compares to BHMS, or check how management quota legally works across any course. ## Questions Parents Ask Us No, and that distinction matters. Karnataka's MBBS management-quota fees are fixed annually by the state and published by KEA against a government order. Karnataka's private Ayurvedic (BAMS) management-quota seats are sold as negotiated lump-sum packages quoted directly by each college -- there is no equivalent state fee-fixation order for AMC management quota. The figures on this page come from OEF's own 2026-27 counselling fee-package sheet, compiled from what each college quotes for admission counselling. No. Every package total on this page and on each college's individual page excludes hostel and mess, which are billed separately and vary by college -- typically ₹75,000 to ₹1,00,000 a year in our sheet. Caution deposits, university registration and examination fees are also separate. Click through to a college's own page for its specific hostel/mess figure. Through Karnataka's AYUSH-UG counselling on your NEET UG 2026 rank -- the same basic structure as MBBS counselling through KEA, but on the AYUSH portal and AYUSH seat matrix. Government, private and management quota seats are all filled by rank and category; no college or consultant can offer you a seat outside that process. Because we would rather tell you a fact is unverified than publish a confident guess. Several of these Ayurvedic colleges are small, recently established, or have official websites that were unreachable during our research, and public sources conflict on basic facts like founding year or seat intake for a number of them. Where that is the case, the college's page says so directly and points you to OEF for direct verification, rather than smoothing over the gap. For many students, yes. Assam's own government Ayurvedic college has very few seats, so Karnataka's much larger private AMC network -- 22 colleges and counting -- gives Northeast NEET UG candidates a genuine, full-fledged medical degree route with total course packages mostly between ₹15.5 and ₹22 lakh, well below equivalent MBBS management quota fees. Whether it is the right call depends on your rank, your interest in Ayurveda as a career, and your family's budget -- talk to us before you decide. ## Which of These 22 Colleges Actually Fits Your Rank and Budget?

We have deliberately avoided stating any fact here that we could not reasonably corroborate. Where a detail above is described as "reported," "commonly stated," or hedged with a range, that reflects genuine inconsistency across public sources rather than carelessness on our part — ask OEF to help you verify it directly with the college before you rely on it for a major decision. ## How a BAMS Seat at Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College Is Actually Allotted | # | Step | |---|---| | 1 | Qualify NEET UG 2026. Mandatory for every BAMS seat in India, regardless of quota. | | 2 | Register for Karnataka's AYUSH-UG counselling and complete document verification. | | 3 | Fill your choice list in genuine order of preference, including Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College at whichever position reflects your real interest. | | 4 | Allotment is generated from your locked choices, in rank and category order. Nobody outside the counselling authority can influence this step. | | 5 | Report for document verification and pay the package shown above directly to the college, against a receipt. | If anyone offers to reserve or guarantee a seat at Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College before official allotment, or asks for payment outside the package above, that is not how this process works. Read what a genuine admission scam looks like before you send any money. ## Where Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College Fits Your Actual Budget Assam's own Ayurvedic college is a small government institution with very limited seats, so most Northeast families looking at BAMS end up comparing Karnataka's much larger private AMC network instead. At ₹18,00,000 for the full course before hostel, mess and university charges, Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College needs to fit your family's actual finances, not an average family's. We are a Guwahati-based consultancy that has guided Northeast India students into BAMS, BHMS and MBBS seats since 2008. We will tell you plainly whether Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College is reachable on your NEET UG 2026 rank and affordable on your budget — and just as plainly if it is not, and which Karnataka college on our full comparison table would suit you better. Compare this against every other Karnataka BAMS college on our full ranked fee table , read our complete BAMS admission guide , or check how management quota legally works . ## Questions Parents Ask Us ₹18,00,000 for the full BAMS course, spread across the years as shown in the fee table above, per OEF's 2026-27 counselling fee-package sheet. This is a package figure quoted by the college for admission counselling, not a state-fixed fee like KEA's MBBS table. not published separately for this college in our current fee sheet -- ask OEF to confirm the NRI package directly with the college. No. Hostel and mess are charged separately, reported at approximately ₹90,000 in our fee sheet, and are excluded from the total package figures above. Budget for these, plus any caution deposit, on top of the package total. Through Karnataka's AYUSH-UG counselling, on your NEET UG 2026 rank, in the same way as every other BAMS seat in the state. Qualify NEET UG, register for the counselling authority's AYUSH portal, fill your choices in genuine order of preference, and Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College is allotted to you only if your rank and category reach it in that round. No college, consultant or agent can offer you a seat here outside that process. That depends on your NEET rank, category and what your family can sustain across the full course at ₹18,00,000 plus hostel, mess and university charges. Assam's own Ayurvedic college is a small government-quota institution with very limited seats, so Karnataka's much larger private AMC network is a genuine route into BAMS for many Northeast students who do not get a government-quota seat at home. Whether this specific college fits your budget and goals is worth a direct, honest conversation before you register. ## Considering Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College? Let's Check It Against Your Actual Rank and Budget. Send us your NEET UG 2026 score, category and what your family can sustain over the full course, and we'll tell you honestly whether ₹18,00,000 at Shri Siddharameshwar Ayurvedic Medical College is the right call — or whether a different Karnataka college on our comparison table fits better. --- # MBBS, BDS & BAMS Fees 2026-27 — State-Wise Tables Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/colleges.html # MBBS BDS BAMS Fees + NEET 2026 Guide Official management quota fees across India.

OEF has strong relationships here. ## The Security Deposit Risk Accepting a seat in Round 2, Mop-up, or Stray vacancy and not joining = security deposit permanently lost . No refund. No appeal. OEF’s Round 1 strategy has protected every student’s deposit since 2008. Leave without losing deposit. Don’t join after accepting = permanent loss. ## What These Numbers Actually Mean for Your Family On the 2026-27 figures in our tables, Chhattisgarh is the most affordable, starting around ₹7.45 lakh a year, followed by West Bengal and Bihar. Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and the deemed universities sit at the top end — several deemed universities exceed ₹25 lakh a year. Cheapest is rarely the whole answer though: a lower fee in a distant state with a low-footfall teaching hospital can be worse value than a higher fee closer to home. Tuition-focused, and annual. Hostel and mess typically add ₹1.5–3 lakh a year, and most colleges also charge a caution deposit, university registration and annual examination fees. Several deemed universities require a substantial refundable security deposit at admission on top. Before committing, ask the college in writing for the complete first-year outflow and any year-on-year escalation clause — families who budget from the tuition line alone routinely see a first-year bill 25–35% higher than expected. Management quota is open to any Indian citizen with a valid NEET UG score and generally carries no domicile condition. NRI quota requires documented NRI, OCI or PIO status or sponsorship by a qualifying blood relative, and the fee is usually higher and often quoted in US dollars. NRI cut-offs tend to be lower, which is precisely why the eligibility documentation is scrutinised so heavily at verification. See our NRI quota page for the Supreme Court criteria. Deemed universities do not go through state counselling at all — every seat is allotted by MCC on NEET UG rank, so you register with MCC rather than a state authority. Their fees are generally higher than state private colleges, and several also require a bank guarantee or large security deposit at admission. Our deemed university table lists 59 colleges across 14 states. Yes, in most cases. Management quota seats generally carry no domicile requirement, which is why they matter so much for Assam and wider Northeast students — Assam has no private medical college of its own. State quota seats in these same colleges are usually closed to non-domicile candidates. The nearest genuinely open option inside the region is PA Sangma International Medical College in Meghalaya, about an hour from Guwahati. They reflect the 2026-27 figures available to us and are subject to revision by the state fee committee or the college. Fees also move in both directions — most rise year on year, but we have seen genuine decreases too. Always confirm the current fee committee notification directly with the college before any payment, and be cautious of anyone quoting a figure that differs materially from the published notification. No. Any payment demanded above the approved fee structure — whatever it is called: donation, building fund, development charge, corpus fund — is capitation, and it is prohibited under NMC regulations and state anti-capitation legislation. Legitimate fees are paid to the institution against a receipt at the notified rate.

We Stopped. For years we placed students in foreign medical universities. We do not any more. The reason is one number, and it has not moved in a decade: most Indian students who finish an MBBS abroad cannot clear the exam that lets them work as a doctor in India. Last verified · 12 August 2026 If you read nothing else. After an MBBS abroad, an Indian student must pass the Foreign Medical Graduate Examination (FMGE) to practise in India. In the most recent session, 43,933 sat it and 32,604 failed — a pass rate of 23.37%. NEET is compulsory for going abroad. NMC no longer publishes a list of approved foreign universities, so checking that a university qualifies is entirely your responsibility. Orchid Education Foundation does not arrange MBBS abroad admissions. We will answer your questions about it honestly, and we will not take your money for it. ## Three in Four Fail the Exam That Matters One explanation first, because this trips up most parents. A student who does MBBS in India starts working after their degree and internship. A student who does MBBS abroad cannot — they must first pass FMGE, a 300-mark exam run by NBEMS. Pass mark is 150, exactly 50%, no relaxation for any category. Until it is cleared, the foreign degree does not permit practice in India. | FMGE session | Pass rate | |---|---| | Most recent session — 43,933 appeared, 10,264 passed, 32,604 failed | 23.37% | | June 2025 | 18.61% | | December 2024 | 29.62% | | June 2024 | 20.89% | | December 2023 | 20.57% | | June 2023 | 10.20% | There is no year in that table a family should plan around comfortably. The exam can be retaken, and many students do — for two years, three, sometimes longer, living at home and not earning. No brochure prices that period, and it is the real cost of this route. ## Six Conditions. Miss One and the Degree Does Not Count. The NMC's Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, notified on 18 November 2021, set out what a foreign medical degree must look like to be usable in India. | Condition | What it means in plain terms | |---|---| | At least 54 months of study | Four and a half years of actual instruction. NMC counts months, not years, and the 12-month internship does not count towards it. A course advertised as “5-year MBBS” may contain only 48 months of teaching. Ask for the duration in months, on university letterhead. | | One single institution | The whole course at the same university. Transferring midway generally breaks eligibility. | | 12-month internship, same university | After the course, not during it, and at the same foreign institution where you studied. | | No split clinical training | Clinical training cannot be done in parts or across different countries. | | English throughout | The medium of instruction must be English for the entire course. Note that hospital patients may still speak only the local language, which is a separate and real problem for clinical learning. | | Schedule-I subjects | The mandatory subjects listed in the regulations must all be covered. | The part that changed everything. NMC no longer publishes a list of approved foreign medical universities. The burden of proving a university complies sits on the student. So when an agent says “this university is NMC approved”, there is no list they can be pointing at. Old MCI approval lists from 2018 and earlier carry no current weight. If you cannot verify compliance yourself, from university documents, nobody is verifying it. Updated · DME Assam · 28 August 2026 · Counselling Dates Now Fixed If you are an Assam permanent resident who passed MBBS abroad and cleared FMGE, there is a real, current internship route home — and the offline counselling dates are now out. The Directorate of Medical Education, Assam first invited applications on 13 August 2026 (Memo No. e.DME/Intern/515524/14) from Assam-domicile Foreign Medical Graduates — candidates who completed MBBS (Part-II) or an equivalent degree outside India and have cleared the FMG Screening Test conducted by NBE — to undergo Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) in Assam's Government Medical Colleges. That application window closed 25 August 2026. A follow-up Educational Notice (No. e.DME/Intern/515524/15, e-signed 28 August 2026) now sets the offline counselling schedule at the Office of the Director of Medical Education, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati–22, at 10:30 AM each day : candidates who scored 160 marks and above in the FMG Screening Test attend on 31 August 2026 , and those scoring 159 down to 150 marks attend on 2 September 2026 . Seats are available at six Government Medical Colleges — Lakhimpur, Dhubri, Nalbari, Nagaon, Kokrajhar and Tinsukia — and candidates rank all six in order of preference on the day. Bring the filled Data Form and Declaration Form (downloadable from dme.assam.gov.in / dmeassam.gov.in), plus original testimonials from Class X onwards, the original Permanent Resident Certificate, and one set of photocopies of everything. No score below 150 has a counselling date announced in this notice — keep checking the Directorate's website rather than wait for an individual call. This is specifically for candidates who have already cleared FMGE, per the FMGL 2021 conditions covered above — it is not a shortcut around that exam, and it does not apply if you have not yet passed it. ## Tuition Is Not the Number You Will Actually Pay | What gets quoted | What gets left out | |---|---| | Annual tuition , usually the lowest figure available and often for the first year only | Hostel, food and living costs for five and a half years | | Flights home, and back again after every break | | | Visa, documentation, translation and attestation | | | Health insurance and local registration charges | | | FMGE coaching after returning — often a year or more | | | Repeat attempts , during which the student is not earning | | Ask for one document before any money moves: the total cost across the whole period, in writing, on letterhead. Not annual tuition, and not a figure said aloud in a seminar hall. A consultant who will not produce it usually knows the honest total would end the conversation. ## The Same Student, a Route That Ends in a Licence Almost every family who came to us about MBBS abroad had the same question underneath it: my child qualified NEET but missed a government seat, so what now? That question has answers inside India, and they end with a degree that needs no screening exam. ### State quota, read properly Domicile and nativity rules differ sharply between states, and most families assume they are shut out of quotas they can actually claim. All 19 state deadlines → ### Management quota, priced honestly A legal seat category, allotted through official counselling at fee-committee rates. Expensive, but it produces an Indian MBBS. How it works → ### Closer than you think PA Sangma International Medical College in Ri-Bhoi, Meghalaya has 64 management seats with no domicile bar, about an hour from Guwahati. PIMC 2026 → ### BDS, AYUSH, or one more attempt A BDS or BAMS seat in India is a working qualification. For some students, one more NEET year with a real plan beats six years abroad. We say so when we think it, even though it means no fee for us this year. BDS 2026 → ## The Seat Shortage Here Is Well Known to Agents Assam has no private medical college and the region has very few. Every agency selling foreign medical admissions knows this, which is why Guwahati fills with seminars in the weeks right after results, when families are anxious and moving fast. None of that is illegal, and studying medicine abroad is a legitimate choice — some students do it well, come back and pass. Our objection is narrower. The decision is routinely sold without the pass rate, without the six FMGL conditions and without the total cost. A family shown all three who still chooses to go has made a real decision. Most families we met had been shown none of them. If you are weighing an offer right now, forward it to us before you pay anything. We will read it and tell you plainly what it does and does not deliver. No charge, and no expectation that you use us afterwards — we do not sell this service, so there is nothing for us to sell you. ## Questions Parents Ask Us No. We used to, and we stopped. The reason is in the pass numbers below: most Indian students who complete an MBBS abroad do not clear the licensing exam that lets them practise in India. We were not willing to keep taking a family’s money for a route where the most likely outcome is a degree that cannot be used. If you still want to go abroad, we will tell you honestly what to check — but we will not process the admission for you. FMGE stands for Foreign Medical Graduate Examination. It is conducted by NBEMS, and it is the exam you must pass to be allowed to practise medicine in India after studying MBBS in another country. Indian medical graduates do not sit it. Foreign ones must. You need 150 out of 300, which is 50%, with no relaxation for any category. Fail it and your foreign degree does not let you work as a doctor in India. You can retake it, and many students spend years doing exactly that. In the most recent session, 43,933 candidates appeared, 10,264 passed and 32,604 failed — a pass rate of 23.37%. Roughly three out of four did not clear it. That was an improvement on the session before, which was 18.61%. Across the last several years the rate has moved between about 10% and 30%. For comparison, an Indian MBBS graduate has no such exam standing between them and practice. Yes, everywhere, with no exception. An Indian student must qualify NEET-UG to study MBBS abroad and later practise in India. “Admission without NEET” offers are usually real admissions — the student can genuinely enrol and study. What they cannot do is convert into an Indian medical licence, and that surfaces five or six years later at registration, when nothing can be done. The Foreign Medical Graduate Licentiate (FMGL) Regulations, 2021, notified on 18 November 2021, set six conditions. The course must run at least 54 months. It must be completed at a single institution. A 12-month internship must follow, at the same foreign university. Clinical training cannot be split across countries or done in parts. The medium of instruction must be English throughout. And the mandatory subjects listed in Schedule-I of the regulations must be covered. Miss any one and the degree may not be accepted for licensing. No, and this is the part families most often get wrong. NMC no longer maintains a list of approved foreign medical universities. The responsibility for confirming that a university meets the FMGL 2021 conditions rests entirely on the student. Old “MCI approved” lists circulating from 2018 and earlier have no current standing. If an agent shows you one, they are showing you a document that does not mean what they are saying it means. Start FMGE preparation from the second year, not the final one — students who begin early clear it far more often. Also check one thing: NMC clarified on 5 March 2026 that any part of the course attended online must be made up with in-person training at the same institution, and the study period must genuinely be extended, not compressed. A certificate claiming the time was “compensated” without the period actually being extended will not be accepted. DME Assam opened a route on 13 August 2026 specifically for this, and the counselling dates are now fixed. If you are an Assam permanent resident who completed MBBS (Part-II) or an equivalent degree outside India and cleared the FMG Screening Test conducted by NBE, and you applied by the 25 August 2026 deadline, offline counselling runs at the DME office, Sixmile, Khanapara, Guwahati, at 10:30 AM: 31 August for candidates who scored 160 marks and above, and 2 September for 159 down to 150 marks, per Educational Notice No. e.DME/Intern/515524/15. Bring the Data Form, Declaration Form, original testimonials from Class X onwards, your original Permanent Resident Certificate and photocopies of everything. Seats are at six Government Medical Colleges: Lakhimpur, Dhubri, Nalbari, Nagaon, Kokrajhar and Tinsukia. This route requires FMGE to already be cleared; it is not a way around it. ## Send Us the Offer Before You Send Them Money. We Will Tell You What It Actually Delivers. Forward the brochure, the fee sheet, the WhatsApp — whatever you were given. We will read it against the FMGL 2021 conditions and tell you plainly what is missing. Free, and there is nothing for us to sell you afterwards. --- # NEET PG 2026 — MD, MS and MDS Admission Guide Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/md-ms-admission.html # MD · MS · DNB — Your Specialisation, Your Identity After years of MBBS hard work, postgraduate specialisation is how you define your medical career, your earning potential, and your legacy. OEF guides doctors from Northeast India through every step of NEET PG and MD/MS admission — honestly, knowledgeably, and with genuine care. ## You Have Already Done The Hardest Part Getting through MBBS is not easy. Five and a half years, multiple exams, ward rounds, internship — you have earned every bit of the title "Doctor." Now it is time for the next step. At OEF, we understand the pressure you are under right now. NEET PG marks are everything — they determine your specialisation, your city, and in many ways, your entire career trajectory. The competition is intense. The seats are limited. And the decision you make about which branch to pursue will shape the next 30 years of your professional life. That is exactly why you need honest guidance — not just "best colleges ki list" but a real conversation about which specialisation suits your temperament, your life goals, your family situation, and yes, your NEET PG score realistically. "I have met MBBS graduates from Assam and Manipur who got MD Dermatology in top colleges — and others who made wrong specialisation choices and spent years in misery. The difference was always the quality of counselling they received before choosing." — Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka, MBBS · Founder, OEF MD / MS — Key Numbers 2026 ## MD vs MS vs DNB — Clearly Explained Many MBBS graduates are confused about the difference. Here is a clear, no-jargon explanation. ### MD — Doctor of Medicine MD is a postgraduate degree for non-surgical medical specialisations . You do not operate in an MD programme — you diagnose, treat, and manage medical conditions using medicines, investigations, and clinical protocols. Popular MD branches: General Medicine, Paediatrics, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Radiology, Anaesthesiology, Pathology, Biochemistry, Microbiology, Community Medicine, Pharmacology, Physiology. Clinical MD branches (Medicine, Derma, Radiology, Anaesthesia) are most competitive and highest earning. ### MS — Master of Surgery MS is a postgraduate degree for surgical specialisations . You perform operations, manage surgical emergencies, and develop technical procedural expertise. MS training is more physically demanding and involves long OT hours. Popular MS branches: General Surgery, Orthopaedics (Bone & Joint), Ophthalmology (Eye), Otorhinolaryngology (ENT), Obstetrics & Gynaecology, and some super-specialty tracks. MS is the gateway to super-specialty (MCh, DM) — the pinnacle of surgical careers. ### DNB — Diplomate of National Board DNB is awarded by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) and is fully equivalent to MD/MS. DNB training happens in NBE-accredited hospitals — including many private sector hospitals. This significantly increases available seats. Key advantage: DNB seats are available in hundreds of private hospitals including corporate hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, Max, and Manipal. DNB holders can hold government posts, teach in medical colleges, and practice with the same rights as MD/MS. DNB often has lower NEET PG cutoffs than MD/MS for the same specialty — more accessible, equally valuable. ## MD Specialisations — Complete Guide Earnings, Demand, Competition Every MD branch has a different career trajectory. Here is an honest breakdown of every major MD specialisation — so you can make the right decision for your life, not just your score. ### MD — General Medicine (Internal Medicine) The most versatile and respected PG degree The "mother of all MD degrees." An MD Medicine doctor can practice across virtually any medicine discipline. Gateway to DM (super-specialty) in Cardiology, Nephrology, Gastroenterology. Very competitive to get, extremely rewarding career. Most sought-after PG branch in India. India's highest-earning MD branch The most desired MD branch in India in 2026. Dermatologists who add cosmetic procedures (lasers, Botox, fillers, hair transplant) can earn ₹5–15 Lakhs per month. Excellent work-life balance — no emergency calls at 3am. Very high NEET PG cutoff — you need a top 2% score. Worth the effort. Procedural, high-earning, tech-forward Radiologists interpret CT scans, MRIs, ultrasounds, and X-rays — and those who pursue Interventional Radiology perform life-saving procedures. Very limited patient interaction (mostly diagnostic reporting). Strong tech and AI-assisted future. High earning with relatively manageable hours compared to clinical branches. Child health specialist — deeply rewarding Paediatricians are in extremely high demand across Northeast India. Child specialists are scarce in Tier-2 and Tier-3 NE cities. If you want to practice in your home state and serve your community, MD Paediatrics is one of the best choices. Emotionally fulfilling, strong community reputation, good income in private practice. Mental health — the need of our generation Post-COVID India has a massive mental health crisis — and severe shortage of psychiatrists. In Northeast India, this gap is acute. MD Psychiatry has relatively accessible NEET PG cutoffs but extremely strong career prospects. Telepsychiatry has exploded post-2020, enabling large-scale online practices. A deeply impactful and growing career. The backbone of every surgical department Anaesthesiologists earn per-procedure fees that add up significantly. In private hospitals, a busy anaesthesiologist earns ₹2–4 Lakhs per month. Those who specialise in Critical Care/Intensivist roles (DM Critical Care) earn even more. This branch has never had a shortage of job opportunities across India. Behind every diagnosis — the pathologist Pathologists who own diagnostic laboratories are among the highest-earning doctors in India. A standalone pathology lab in a mid-sized NE city can generate ₹5–20 Lakhs per month revenue. Relatively accessible NEET PG cutoff, no clinical emergency calls, and strong entrepreneurship potential make this an underrated gem. Public health, academia, policy For doctors who want to make a population-level impact rather than individual patient care. Excellent for government health officer roles, WHO, UNICEF, NGO health programmes, and medical college teaching. NE India has strong public health needs — Community Medicine specialists are valuable to state governments. ## MS Surgical Branches — For Those Who Are Called to Operate If you are a doctor who finds joy in the operating theatre — MS is your path. Here are the major MS specialisations with honest career projections. ### MS — General Surgery Gateway to all surgical super-specialties MS General Surgery is the foundation of all surgical careers. After MS General, you can pursue MCh in Urology, Cardiovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, Surgical Oncology, Plastic Surgery, and Gastrointestinal Surgery. Surgeons are severely needed across NE India — a general surgeon in Tier-2 NE cities earns ₹1.5–3.5 Lakhs per month with very high community respect. Bone, joint, spine — physically demanding, highly rewarding Orthopaedic surgeons are among the highest-earning doctors in India. Joint replacement surgeries, spine surgeries, trauma care, and sports medicine are all booming. With India's aging population and rising road accidents, orthopedic demand is only increasing. NE India has severe shortage of trained orthopaedic surgeons — this is a massive opportunity. Women's health — perpetually in demand Gynaecologists and obstetricians are needed everywhere, perpetually. Maternal mortality reduction is a national priority — trained OBG specialists are critical. In NE India, female OBG doctors are in even higher demand as many patients strongly prefer female doctors for women's health. Strong earnings, flexible practice hours, and deeply meaningful work. Precision surgery, high income, good balance Ophthalmologists perform extraordinarily precise surgeries — cataract removal, LASIK, retinal procedures. The demand is massive: India has a huge burden of preventable blindness and refractive errors. Eye specialists with modern equipment in NE cities can build very large patient volumes very quickly. Excellent work-life balance compared to other surgical branches. Ear, nose, throat — precision and scope ENT surgeons are scarce in most NE Indian cities. A well-trained ENT surgeon in Guwahati or Imphal can build a large practice very quickly due to minimal local competition. Cochlear implants, endoscopic sinus surgery, and head & neck cancer surgery are premium sub-specialties. Strong government job options through PSC and central services. ## How OEF Guides You Through NEET PG and PG Admission PG medical admission is time-critical. The moment NEET PG results are announced, decisions must be made within hours. Here is exactly how OEF helps you navigate this. ### The Critical Timeline The day results come, call 9085064444. We analyse your score, show you realistic specialisation options and college choices — same day, no waiting. We guide you on which specialisation is realistic for your score AND which suits your career goals and temperament. This conversation is what separates OEF from every other consultant. We guide MCC AIQ counselling (for government and deemed seats) simultaneously while exploring management quota options. Running both tracks increases your chances significantly. DNB Direct seats in private hospitals like Apollo, Fortis, Manipal often have lower cutoffs than MD/MS for the same specialty. Many NE India doctors miss these seats because nobody told them about this option. OEF always explores DNB alongside MD/MS. Document preparation, fee payment guidance, bond verification, and joining-day support. We stay with you until you walk into your PG programme as a postgraduate student. ### Management Quota PG — Fees Overview Management quota PG fees vary significantly by branch and college. The most competitive clinical branches command the highest fees. Here is a realistic guide: | Specialisation | Mgmt Quota Fee/Year | |---|---| | MD Dermatology (DVL) | ₹25L–₹55L/year | | MD Radiology | ₹20L–₹50L/year | | MS Orthopaedics | ₹18L–₹45L/year | | MD General Medicine | ₹15L–₹35L/year | | MS General Surgery | ₹15L–₹35L/year | | MS Ophthalmology | ₹12L–₹30L/year | | MD Paediatrics | ₹10L–₹25L/year | | MD Psychiatry | ₹8L–₹20L/year | | MD Pathology | ₹8L–₹18L/year | | MD Community Medicine | ₹5L–₹12L/year | *Fees are indicative ranges based on recent admissions. OEF provides verified, updated fee information at time of admission. PG Deposit Risk: The security deposit forfeiture rules apply to PG admission exactly as for MBBS. Accept in Round 2 of MCC PG counselling and don't join? That ₹1–3 Lakh deposit is gone permanently. OEF's Round 1 strategy applies to PG admission too. ## MD / MS Admission 2026 — FAQs MD Dermatology, MD Radiology, and MD Psychiatry consistently offer the best work-life balance among clinical branches. Dermatologists and radiologists rarely have emergency calls. Psychiatrists can build large online/telepsychiatry practices with flexible hours. Among surgical branches, MS Ophthalmology offers relatively better work-life balance than General Surgery or Orthopaedics. But our honest advice: choose a branch you are genuinely interested in. Work-life balance means nothing if you dread going to work every day. This depends on your practice potential and location. A dermatologist in a well-located practice in Guwahati or any NE state capital can realistically earn ₹3–8 Lakhs per month within 3–5 years after completing MD. At ₹5 Lakhs per month, you recover a ₹50 Lakh investment in roughly 10 months of practice income. The ROI mathematics generally work for clinical dermatology. However, you need to be genuinely interested in dermatology — the 3-year MD training is intense. Call OEF to discuss your specific situation before committing to such a large fee. Yes. Private medical college management quota MD/MS seats are available even for moderate NEET PG scores. Less competitive branches like MD Pathology, MD Community Medicine, MD Microbiology, MD Biochemistry, and MD Anatomy have more accessible cutoffs. For better clinical branches like MD General Medicine or MD Paediatrics, even private management quota requires a relatively high NEET PG score. OEF will match your exact score to the best available management quota option — including DNB seats in accredited hospitals which often have more accessible requirements. Yes, DNB is fully equivalent to MD/MS in India as per Medical Council Act and NMC regulations. DNB holders can: (1) Hold faculty positions in medical colleges up to Associate Professor level, (2) Participate in government medical officer recruitment, (3) Practice with the same rights as MD/MS, (4) Pursue super-specialty (DM/MCh) from government institutions. The Supreme Court of India has repeatedly upheld DNB equivalence. OEF strongly recommends exploring DNB options alongside MD/MS — they often have better seat availability and lower management fees. For NE India doctors seeking MD/MS, preferred states are Karnataka (Bangalore — excellent infrastructure, good NE student community), West Bengal (Kolkata — nearest metro, strong medical education culture), Tamil Nadu (Chennai — top institutions), and Maharashtra (Mumbai/Pune — leading private hospitals for DNB). OEF has direct ties with private medical college PG departments across these states. We also strongly recommend exploring GMCH Guwahati (government, competitive), Silchar Medical College (Assam domicile advantage), and RIMS Imphal (for Manipur doctors).

Not Just Highly. Which MD specialisation actually suits you — and which is realistic for your NEET PG rank? OEF gives you the honest picture, not a sales pitch. ## You Have Done the Hard Part. Now Choose Right. Getting your MBBS done is genuinely hard. Five and a half years, internship, then NEET PG on top — you have earned the right to a good career. The MD decision you make now will shape the next 30 years of your professional life. OEF has guided MBBS doctors from Northeast India into MD programmes for since 2008. We have seen doctors who chose Dermatology because of Instagram and regretted it. We have also seen doctors who chose Pathology based on rank and built outstanding practices. The right choice is personal — and requires honest guidance, not just a list of top-earning branches. Important: No one can give you an MD seat without NEET PG. Any agent or consultant claiming otherwise is misleading you. NEET PG qualification is mandatory for all MD/MS admissions — government and private. OEF helps you navigate the official counselling process and institutional admissions within that framework. ### MD at a Glance ## MD Specialisations — Honest Career Guide 2026 Earnings, demand, seat competition, and OEF’s honest take on each branch.

AIQ rank matters more than overall rank for most seats. Do you want to operate, diagnose, counsel patients, or teach? This matters more than earnings in the long run. Northeast India needs Psychiatrists, Paediatricians, OBG specialists much more than a tenth Dermatologist in Guwahati. We give honest guidance on what we have seen work since 2008 — and what doesn’t — for doctors from this region. NEET PG is mandatory for ALL MD seats. Anyone promising MD admission without NEET PG is breaking NMC rules. OEF works entirely within the legal framework and guides you through the proper process. ## MD Admission FAQs There is no single “best.” But from a practical standpoint, Northeast India has a severe shortage of Psychiatrists, Paediatricians, Dermatologists, and OBG specialists. Choosing a branch with unmet regional demand gives you both career security and social impact. OEF discusses this with you in detail during free counselling — your rank, temperament, and geography all matter. MD management quota fees at private colleges range from ₹10 Lakhs to ₹50 Lakhs per year depending on the specialisation and institution. Clinical branches like Dermatology, Radiology, and Paediatrics command higher fees. Non-clinical branches (Pathology, Community Medicine, Biochemistry) are significantly cheaper. OEF gives you a realistic fee breakdown before any decision. Management quota MD Dermatology is available at private deemed universities and does not require a top AIQ rank — only NEET PG qualification. However, management quota Derm seats are limited and expensive (₹25–50L/year). OEF has placed several Northeast India doctors into MD Dermatology through this route. Call 9085064444 to discuss your specific rank and options. OEF’s process starts with a free one-hour counselling session. We review your NEET PG score, discuss specialisation options honestly, and present verified institutional options. We then assist with documentation, coordinate with the institution, and support you through the admission process. There is no guarantee of admission — OEF guides and supports, but the final decision rests with the institution and regulatory process. First call is always free.

But which branch? OEF has guided Northeast India’s surgeons since 2008. Here is our honest guide to every MS branch. ## MS Surgery — What You Need to Know MS (Master of Surgery) is the postgraduate surgical degree that comes after MBBS + NEET PG. It is a 3-year programme at accredited colleges. You can pursue MS Orthopaedics, MS General Surgery, MS ENT, MS Ophthalmology, MS OBG, MS Respiratory Surgery, and more. Unlike MD which is mostly hospital or lab-based, MS leads to hands-on surgical practice. Operating theatre confidence builds over the 3 years. After MS, many doctors choose to further specialise into MCh (super-specialty surgery) via NEET SS. Mandatory: NEET PG qualification is required for all MS admissions without exception. No legitimate institution offers MS without a valid NEET PG score. OEF guides you through the MCC and institutional processes. ### MS at a Glance ## MS Surgical Specialisations — Honest Career Guide 2026 ### MS Ophthalmology Eye surgery Bone & joint surgery Foundation of surgery Ear, Nose & Throat Obstetrics & Gynaecology Brain & spine surgery ## Why MS Surgery Is an Exceptional Career Choice for NE India Doctors Northeast India — Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim — has a critically under-served surgical ecosystem. In a region of 45 million people, there are fewer qualified surgeons than a single district hospital in Delhi. An MS-qualified surgeon returning home from any of these states enters a market with almost no competition and enormous unmet need. OEF has guided MBBS doctors from all 8 NE states into MS programmes since 2008. The pattern is consistent: those who complete MS General Surgery, MS Orthopaedics, or MS ENT and return to Northeast India build practices that are full within 12 months of opening. Referral networks develop naturally because there simply are not enough surgeons to meet demand. Road accidents, sports injuries, and age-related joint disease are common across NE India. Guwahati, Imphal, Shillong, and Dimapur each have fewer than 5 orthopaedic surgeons. An MS Orthopaedics graduate returning home can expect ₹4–8L/month within 2 years of private practice setup. ENT cases — chronic sinusitis, hearing loss, tonsillitis, laryngeal conditions — are extremely common in NE India. ENT surgeons are very few outside Guwahati. MS ENT graduates in smaller NE cities see 40–60 patients a day immediately. Private practice earnings reach ₹2–4L/month relatively quickly. Cataract, glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy are growing at scale across NE India. Dedicated eye hospitals are emerging. An MS Ophthalmologist can set up a focused eye practice with phacoemulsification capability and build ₹3–6L/month within 3 years. Some are setting up surgical camps in rural NE districts, generating both income and community impact. ### MS Admission Process — Step by Step NEET PG is mandatory for all MS admissions without exception. OEF guides through the official process only. ## MS Admission FAQs 2026 MS Orthopaedics, MS ENT, and MS Ophthalmology offer the best combination of demand and earnings for a doctor returning to NE India. General Surgery is essential everywhere. OEF recommends matching your branch choice to the specific district or city you plan to practice in — the need varies significantly. Call 9085064444 for region-specific guidance based on your home district. MS management quota fees at private colleges range from ₹10 Lakhs to ₹45 Lakhs per year depending on specialisation and institution. MS Orthopaedics and Ophthalmology tend to be more expensive due to higher demand. MS General Surgery and ENT are relatively more accessible. OEF provides verified fee information for each institution we work with. Absolutely. MS OBG is available as either an MD or MS degree depending on the institution. NE India has a very significant shortage of OBG specialists in rural and semi-urban areas. An MS OBG graduate from Assam or Manipur setting up practice in their home district will have more patients than they can manage within months. OEF has guided several MBBS doctors from NE India into OBG programmes. ## How MS Admission Works — Step by Step MS (Master of Surgery) admission in India is governed by NMC and follows the same NEET PG-based process as MD. After MBBS and internship, you appear for NEET PG. Based on your rank and score, you access government counselling (MCC + state), or management quota seats at private medical colleges and deemed universities. MBBS from NMC-recognised institution + 1 year compulsory rotatory internship completion. No age limit. NEET PG qualifying score mandatory for all MS admissions. NEET PG is the single entrance for MS admission. NTA conducts the exam. Any qualifying score opens management quota seats. Higher scores access MCC AIQ and state government seats. There is no exemption or alternative route. MCC conducts centralised PG counselling for AIQ seats at government medical colleges. State bodies handle remaining state quota seats. MS Orthopaedics and MS Ophthalmology AIQ seats are competitive. MS ENT and MS General Surgery are more accessible. Private medical colleges and deemed universities offer MS management quota seats. Only the qualifying NEET PG score is required — no rank cutoff. These seats fill within days of results. OEF helps MBBS doctors identify verified MS management quota options quickly. NEET PG is mandatory for all MS admissions. No institution can legally offer MS without NEET PG qualification. OEF works strictly within NMC-compliant processes. ### MS Management Quota Fees (Approx.) Fees vary by institution and state. Karnataka, WB, UP tend to have lower fees for MS management quota. ## MS Surgery in NE India — Career Opportunity Analysis Northeast India — 8 states, 45+ million people — has a severe and growing shortage of trained surgical specialists. Most Tier-2 cities in Assam (Silchar, Dibrugarh, Jorhat), Manipur (Churachandpur, Thoubal), Nagaland (Dimapur, Kohima), Meghalaya (Shillong), and Mizoram (Aizawl) have insufficient access to specialist surgeons. Patients travel hours to Guwahati or even Kolkata for conditions that should be managed locally. An MS surgeon who returns to Northeast India after completing their degree faces virtually no competition in most branches. The patient volume is immediate and high. OEF has guided several Assam and Manipur MBBS doctors into MS programmes — the ones who returned to practice in NE India have consistently built highly successful careers within 2–3 years. Road accidents, bone fractures, and joint disease are extremely common in NE India’s hilly terrain. An Orthopaedic surgeon in any NE India city will have full OPD from Day 1. Most cities are desperately underserved. ₹5–10L/month achievable within 3 years. Cataract, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma burden is high and growing in NE India. Eye hospitals and phaco surgery centres are highly profitable. An MS Ophthalmologist in Imphal, Shillong, or Dimapur faces minimal competition. ₹3–6L/month realistic within 2 years. ENT conditions — sinusitis, hearing loss, throat cancer in betel nut chewing population — are extremely prevalent in NE India. An MS ENT doctor in any NE India state capital is immediately referral-overloaded. ₹2–4L/month achievable within 12–18 months of practice. Maternal health is a critical priority across NE India. Most districts lack trained OBG specialists. A returning MS OBG doctor — especially female — can build a lifelong, highly impactful, and financially rewarding practice anywhere in the region. MS ENT and MS General Surgery management quota seats are the most accessible in terms of NEET PG score requirement. MS Ophthalmology and MS Orthopaedics are more competitive. However, accessibility varies by state and institution. OEF analyses your specific rank and presents realistic options across all MS branches available for your score. Yes, absolutely. MBBS from any NMC-recognised college in Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, or any other NE India state qualifies you for NEET PG. Your MS admission is based on NEET PG score and MBBS internship completion, not the state where you did your MBBS. OEF regularly helps MBBS graduates from NE India colleges into MS programmes across Karnataka, WB, UP, and Tamil Nadu. For Northeast India context specifically — yes. An MS Orthopaedics degree with management quota fees of ₹12–35L per year (₹36–105L total) is a large investment. But an Orthopaedic surgeon returning to a NE India city can recover this within 3–5 years of practice. Road accident trauma surgery alone in Assam and Meghalaya guarantees full surgical lists. The regional ROI on MS Orthopaedics is very strong. OEF helps calculate realistic payback timelines in the counselling session.

OEF assists with documentation, institutional coordination, and counselling process support. ## Step-by-Step MDS Admission — What You Actually Need to Do MDS (Master of Dental Surgery) is a 3-year postgraduate dental degree governed by the National Dental Commission (NDC), which replaced the Dental Council of India (DCI) on 19 March 2026. After completing BDS and one year of internship, you appear for NEET PG (dental). Here is the clear process. You must hold a BDS degree from an NDC-recognised institution and have completed the mandatory 1-year rotatory internship. There is no age limit for MDS admission. NEET PG is the single national entrance exam for MDS admission. Conducted by NTA, it covers all BDS subjects across 240 multiple-choice questions. Any qualifying score opens management quota seats. Higher scores give access to government counselling seats. MCC conducts MDS AIQ counselling for government dental college seats. State-specific counselling fills remaining state quota seats. These are based on NEET PG rank. Competitive branches like Orthodontics require significantly higher ranks than Oral Pathology or Community Dentistry.

Call OEF for current verified data. ## MDS in Northeast India — An Honest Career Assessment Specialist dental care in Northeast India is at a very early stage. An MDS Orthodontist in Guwahati 15 years ago was a rarity. Today there are perhaps 30–40 across the entire region serving 45 million people. That ratio is still far below national average. An MDS graduate who sets up practice in any NE India state capital or Tier-2 city will typically reach full patient capacity within 6–12 months. Orthodontic practices in Guwahati charge ₹25,000–₹80,000 per case for braces and aligners. An active Orthodontist seeing 8–10 new cases per month can easily earn ₹3–5 Lakhs monthly within 2 years of setup. MDS Prosthodontics combined with implantology is also exceptionally profitable in NE India. Dental implant procedures (₹25,000–₹60,000 per implant) have growing acceptance. An MDS Prosthodontist with implantology training can build a ₹4–8 Lakh/month practice within 3–4 years. Best earning: Orthodontics, Prosthodontics + Implants Best accessibility: Conservative Dentistry, Oral Pathology Best for surgery: Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery Best demand: All branches have good demand Management quota MDS (3 years, ₹5–25L/year) requires ₹15–75 Lakhs total investment. Orthodontics and Prosthodontics recover this within 2–4 years of practice. Less competitive branches recover faster due to lower fees. OEF helps you calculate realistic ROI before deciding. OEF guidance for MDS: We have guided BDS graduates from Assam, Manipur, and Meghalaya into MDS programmes. Our guidance covers branch selection based on your rank, institutional options in Karnataka and Maharashtra (best value for NE India students), fee negotiation transparency, and post-MDS practice planning. ## MDS Admission FAQs 2026 There is no attempt limit for NEET PG. You can appear every year until you qualify or secure the seat you want. Many BDS graduates take 1–2 attempts to achieve their target branch rank. OEF advises whether to proceed with the current score or attempt again based on realistic branch availability analysis. A focused BDS dentist with good clinical skills can also build a successful practice. However, MDS specialists command significantly higher fees for specific procedures. An Orthodontist can charge ₹25,000–₹80,000 per case versus a BDS dentist doing basic braces at ₹8,000–₹15,000. For those with the rank and budget, MDS is the better long-term investment — but BDS private practice is also a perfectly viable and profitable path. Karnataka has 33 private dental colleges with MDS programmes and generally lower fees (₹3–12L/year for management quota MDS). Maharashtra also has many options. OEF has established relationships with verified dental colleges in Karnataka and Maharashtra and has placed NE India students into MDS programmes there. Tamil Nadu and UP are also options but Karnataka gives the best combination of quality and value. Considering management or NRI quota for MDS?

The paper is shorter this year, test cities are allotted differently, and the internship cut-off is 30 September 2026. The full schedule, and what it means for your counselling planning. Last verified · 25 August 2026 · against NBEMS Notice dated 24.08.2026 on admit card release 🦷 NEET MDS 2026 counselling has started — MCC Round 1 registration 18–23 August 2026. The short answer. NEET PG 2026 is on 30 August 2026 (Sunday), 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, conducted by NBEMS as a single-shift computer-based test. Applications ran 1 July to 21 July 2026 and have closed. Exam city intimation went out on 11 August. The admit card release date has been revised twice: first from 27 August to 24 August, then — per a Notice dated 24.08.2026 citing “certain unavoidable circumstances” and requests received from Assam and Meghalaya — to 25 August 2026 . The result is due by 30 September 2026. The paper has been cut from 200 questions to 180, with marking unchanged at plus four and minus one. Internship must be completed on or before 30 September 2026. NBEMS Notice · 12 August 2026 · Read this even if you already got an SMS Some candidates were sent the wrong test city by SMS. NBEMS confirmed on 12 August that due to a technical issue, the test city intimated to some candidates via SMS was incorrect. Corrected SMS and emails with the right test city have since been sent to everyone affected — but do not rely on the SMS alone, corrected or not. Log into your NEET-PG 2026 application portal directly with your registered credentials and check your allotted test city there. The notice states plainly that whatever city is shown on your application portal is final; plan your travel and accommodation against that, not against any message in your inbox. For anything else about NEET PG 2026, NBEMS asks candidates to rely only on www.natboard.edu.in , the official NBEMS WhatsApp channel, and the official X handle @NBEMS_Official — not on forwarded messages or third-party pages, including this one. NBEMS Notice · Dated 24 August 2026 Admit card release date revised again — now 25 August, not 27 August. As per the NEET-PG 2026 Information Bulletin, the admit card was originally due on 27 August 2026. NBEMS first moved that up to 24 August “for the convenience of candidates,” then, per this 24.08.2026 notice, moved it again to 25 August 2026 , citing certain unavoidable circumstances and requests received with regard to Assam and Meghalaya. The exam itself is unaffected: 30 August 2026 (Sunday), 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, single-shift CBT.

Marking is unchanged at plus four and minus one. With fewer questions carrying the same weight of consequence, a single careless negative marking decision costs proportionally more than it did last year. ### Test cities are no longer first-come-first-served NBEMS scrapped the old rush-to-apply advantage. Applicants chose three preferred test states in the form, and a separate city selection step follows, subject to availability. For candidates travelling from Guwahati, Shillong or Imphal this is a genuine improvement — but confirm your city on 11 August and book travel then, not before. ### Application fee reduced NBEMS lowered the fee for this cycle. General, unreserved, OBC and EWS candidates paid ₹3,500; SC, ST and PwD candidates paid ₹2,500. Minor in the scheme of a PG budget, but it removed one small barrier for candidates who were undecided about applying. ## The Month Between Result and Choice Filling Decides Everything ### Documents ready before the result MBBS degree or provisional certificate, internship completion certificate dated on or before 30 September 2026, permanent or provisional state medical council registration, Class 10 certificate, category certificate, and a valid photo ID. Council registration in particular takes time in several NE states. Start it now. ### Decide clinical versus non-clinical early Choice filling is not the moment to work out whether you can live with Anatomy or Community Medicine for three years. Have that conversation with your family in September, on paper, with real closing-rank data in front of you. MD/MS overview → ### DNB is not a lesser degree A DNB seat at a high-volume institution can be better clinical training than an MD seat at a college with a thin case load. It is treated at par for teaching eligibility and super specialty entrance. Judge it on the hospital, not on the letters. DNB information → ### Understand the PG bond before you accept Several states attach service bonds with substantial penalties to PG seats, and private colleges attach their own. Read the bond clause in the prospectus, in full, before you accept an allotment. This is where PG candidates get financially trapped, far more often than at the fee stage. How to use this page. Every date here was checked against NBEMS's own notices, most recently the admit card revision notice dated 24 August 2026. NBEMS has revised the admit card date twice within a week, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm the current date at natboard.edu.in before making travel plans. Orchid Education Foundation is an independent admission guidance firm. We are not an agent of NBEMS, we cannot influence any allotment, and no seat in India can be obtained without a valid NEET PG 2026 score. ## Questions Parents Ask Us 30 August 2026 (Sunday), 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, in single-shift computer-based test mode, conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences. The information bulletin went live on 1 July 2026 and the application window ran from 1 July to 21 July 2026. The admit card date has been revised twice — from 27 August to 24 August, then, per a Notice dated 24.08.2026, to 25 August 2026, citing requests from Assam and Meghalaya. The result is to be declared by 30 September 2026. The regular application window has closed. NBEMS opened an edit window from 25 to 28 July and a selective edit window from 31 July to 10 August, but those are for correcting a submitted application, not for filing a new one. NBEMS has historically not reopened registration after the selective edit stage. Watch natboard.edu.in for any notice, and plan around the next cycle if none appears. The paper has been cut from 200 questions to 180. Marking remains four marks for a correct answer with one mark deducted for a wrong one. NBEMS has also changed test city allocation: centres are no longer allotted first-come-first-served. Candidates select three preferred test states in the application, and a separate city-choice window follows after the application window closes. Exam city information is scheduled for 11 August 2026. Not on its own. NBEMS confirmed on 12 August 2026 that a technical issue caused some candidates to receive an incorrect test city by SMS. Corrected messages and emails have since been sent to everyone affected, but the safe approach is to log into your NEET-PG 2026 application portal directly with your registered credentials and check the test city shown there — that is what NBEMS states is final, not any SMS. Plan travel and accommodation against the portal, and trust only natboard.edu.in, the official NBEMS WhatsApp channel, or the official X handle @NBEMS_Official for further updates. 30 September 2026. A candidate must complete the compulsory rotating internship on or before that date to be eligible. If your internship ends after 30 September 2026 you are not eligible for this cycle, regardless of when you sat the exam. Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Our founder Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka is himself an MBBS, which matters when a candidate is weighing a clinical branch against a non-clinical one, or a DNB seat against an MD seat at a lower-ranked institution. See our pages on MD specialisations , MS specialisations , MDS and DM and MCh . ## NEET PG aspirants can take a free mock test The exam is on 30 August 2026 and the application window has closed, so what is left between now and then is preparation. If you want to sit a full paper under exam conditions before the real one, NEET Mentor Hub runs a free NEET PG mock test built from real previous-year medical-PG questions across pre-clinical, para-clinical and clinical subjects. You get your score plus the correct answer, year and explanation for every question. Hosted on NEET Mentor Hub. Built from publicly available previous-year questions for self-assessment. It is not an NBEMS paper, not affiliated with NBEMS, and not a prediction of this year's questions. Note also that the 2026 paper has been cut to 180 questions, so treat this as subject practice rather than a format rehearsal. ## NEET PG 2026 Counselling Guided by a Doctor, Not a Salesman OEF is led by Dr. Kausshik Hazaricka, MBBS.

Super Specialty Key Facts ## NEET-SS 2025 Round 2 Just Got Reopened by Court Order If you are mid-way through NEET Super Specialty counselling right now, read this before you do anything else on the MCC portal. The schedule changed twice in 48 hours, and one of those changes came from the Delhi High Court, not MCC itself. What happened. In Writ Petition (C) No. 11097/2026, “Sunil & Anr. v. Medical Counselling Committee,” the Hon’ble Delhi High Court, by order dated 5 August 2026, directed MCC to allow the petitioner candidates to re-register and participate in Round 2 of NEET-SS 2025 counselling. Rather than fight this piecemeal, MCC's Competent Authority withdrew its earlier 3 August 2026 notification entirely, with immediate effect, and rebuilt the Round 2 schedule from scratch. What this means for you, right now. The resignation portal — for candidates who want to give up their Round 1 allotted seat before Round 2 — stays open to every candidate until 4:00 PM on 7 August 2026 . New registration and choice filling for Round 2 does not resume until 10:00 AM on 9 August 2026 , running on the revised schedule below. If you were watching for an earlier date because of the withdrawn notification, that date no longer applies. ### The Revised Round 2 Schedule, in Full | Stage | Window | Duration | |---|---|---| | Resignation from Round 1 allotted seat | 10:00 AM, 6 Aug – 4:00 PM, 7 Aug 2026 | 2 days | | Verification of seat matrix by institutes | 8 August 2026 | 1 day | | Registration | Up to 6:00 PM, 10 August 2026 (server time) | 3 days | | Payment facility | Up to 9:00 PM, 10 August 2026 (server time) | | | Choice filling | Up to 5:00 PM, 11 August 2026 | 1 day | | Choice locking | 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM, 11 August 2026 | | | Processing of seat allotment | 12 August 2026 | 1 day | | Result | 13 August 2026 | 1 day | | Reporting | 14 – 20 August 2026 | 7 days | Registration and choice locking both have separate closing times on the same day — 10 August for registration and payment, then 11 August for filling and locking choices. As always, MCC directs every participating institute to treat Saturdays, Sundays and holidays as working days for this entire window, given how little time the revised cycle leaves. What a court order mid-counselling actually tells you. This isn't the first time a NEET-SS cycle has been reshaped by litigation after it was already running, and it likely won't be the last. If your career timeline can't absorb a week of uncertainty every time a writ petition lands, a private or deemed-university DM/MCh seat — or a Fellowship at a hospital like Apollo, Fortis, Manipal or Medanta — runs on the institution's own calendar, not a court's. We're not saying skip the government process; we're saying don't let this be the only door you're watching. Talk to us about both routes at once → ## DM Specialisations — Earnings, Demand, Reality Honest guide to every major DM branch — NEET SS cutoff difficulty, career earnings, and NE India demand. ### DM — Cardiology After MD General Medicine Interventional cardiologists are India's highest-paid physicians. Severely needed in NE India. India's diabetes and hypertension epidemic drives permanent kidney disease demand. NE India severely underserved. DM Neurologists are critically scarce across all 8 NE states — a neurologist in any NE city has an overflowing practice immediately. Procedure-based income through colonoscopy, ERCP, and liver work. High-income specialty, shortage across NE India. India is the diabetes capital of the world. Relatively accessible NEET SS cutoff with strong career. After MD Medicine / TB Most accessible NEET SS cutoff among top DM specialties. Post-COVID India has massive pulmonology shortage. ## MCh Surgical Super Specialties The highest surgical training in India. Honest guide to every major MCh branch. ### MCh — Neurosurgery After MS General Surgery MCh Neurosurgeons are among India's highest-paid doctors. Each brain/spine surgery commands ₹1–10 Lakhs. Critically needed in NE India. Urologists in NE India are extremely scarce. A urologist in Guwahati will be immediately oversubscribed. Laparoscopic urology is high-value. CVT surgeons perform open-heart surgery, bypass grafting, valve replacements. Extremely high earnings, very limited supply nationally. Paediatric surgeons are critically scarce across all 8 NE states. Children travel to Kolkata or Delhi for surgeries. Enormous opportunity. India's cancer burden is rising. Surgical oncologists are in growing demand. Cancer centres in NE India are understaffed. ## Fellowship Programmes — Accessible Super Specialty Not everyone needs to fight for DM/MCh seats. 1–2 year fellowships at India's top hospitals offer excellent training with far less competition. Fellowship programmes are conducted by accredited hospitals — Apollo, Fortis, Manipal, Medanta, Narayana. Admission based on interview and academic record, not NEET SS scores. Recognised by NMC and NABH-accredited hospitals internationally. ### Popular Fellowship Hospitals OEF's advice: For NE India doctors wanting super specialty training without extreme NEET SS competition, fellowship is a credible, excellent path. OEF has direct hospital contacts for fellowship placement. ## You've Come This Far. Let OEF Guide the Final Step.

It makes you a true specialist — Cardiologist, Nephrologist, Neurologist, Gastroenterologist. OEF has guided MD doctors from Northeast India into DM programmes at top hospitals. ## What is DM — and Who Should Pursue It? DM (Doctorate of Medicine) is the highest clinical medical degree in India. After completing MD in a relevant parent subject, you appear for NEET SS to qualify for DM. For example, MD General Medicine opens DM Cardiology, DM Nephrology, DM Neurology, DM Gastroenterology, and DM Endocrinology. DM holders command the highest salaries in clinical medicine — a Cardiologist in private practice in a Tier 2 city can earn ₹3–12 Lakhs per month. Northeast India has very few DM specialists, making it a region of exceptional opportunity for returning doctors. NEET SS is mandatory for all government DM seats and most institutional DM programmes. Management quota DM seats are available at a few private medical colleges and super-specialty hospitals. OEF assists MD doctors through both routes. ### DM at a Glance ## DM Branches — Parent MD Required ### DM Cardiology Heart disease specialist. ₹5–12L/month in private practice. Most sought-after DM. Critical shortage in NE India. ### DM Nephrology Kidney disease, dialysis, transplant. ₹3–8L/month. Chronic disease boom in India driving massive demand. ### DM Neurology Brain and nerve disorders. Stroke, epilepsy, Parkinson’s. ₹3–8L/month. Very few neurologists in NE India. ### DM Gastroenterology Digestive system, liver, endoscopy. ₹3–7L/month. Strong hospital and private practice career. ### DM Endocrinology Diabetes, thyroid, hormonal disorders. ₹2–5L/month. India’s diabetes epidemic creating massive need. ### DM Neonatology / Paediatric Cardiology Newborn intensive care or paediatric heart disease. ₹2–6L/month. Very limited specialists in NE India. ## Step-by-Step DM Admission Process 2026 DM admission in India follows a structured process governed by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Here is the honest, step-by-step picture so you know exactly what to expect before you begin. DM Cardiology, Nephrology, Neurology, Gastroenterology, and Endocrinology require MD General Medicine. DM Neonatology requires MD Paediatrics. DM Pulmonology requires MD Respiratory Medicine. The parent MD must be from an NMC-recognised institution. NEET SS (Super Specialty) is conducted by NTA. It is the gateway to government DM seats and many private institutional DM seats. The exam is subject-specific — you choose the subject paper based on your MD. Qualifying NEET SS opens AIQ and state DM counselling. MCC conducts centralised DM counselling for AIQ seats at government medical colleges and central institutions (AIIMS, JIPMER, PGI Chandigarh). These seats are extremely competitive. Most Northeast India doctors need management quota seats at private institutions. Several private medical colleges and corporate hospital groups offer DM management quota seats. These fill quickly after NEET SS results. OEF maintains relationships with verified institutions offering these seats and helps qualifying MD doctors navigate this process. No shortcuts exist. DM admission without NEET SS qualification is not legally valid. OEF works strictly within the framework set by NMC and MCC. Any consultant claiming otherwise should be avoided. ### DM Management Quota Fees (Approx.) Fees vary by institution. Call OEF for verified current data before any commitment. ## Why DM in NE India is a Career-Defining Decision Northeast India — a region of 45 million people across 8 states — has a staggeringly low density of super-specialists. Most rural districts in Assam, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, and Meghalaya have never had a resident DM Cardiologist or DM Neurologist. Patients travel to Guwahati or Kolkata for conditions that should be managed locally. An MD doctor from NE India who completes DM and returns to practice — even in a Tier-2 city like Dimapur, Silchar, Imphal, or Aizawl — faces virtually zero competition and enormous patient need. This is not just a career opportunity; it is a genuine public health contribution. OEF has guided several MD doctors from NE India into DM programmes. We track their careers. The ones who returned home have built highly successful practices. The honest advice: if you have the rank and the commitment, DM in NE India context is perhaps the best career decision a young doctor can make. Guwahati has 2–3 cardiologists serving millions. Silchar, Dibrugarh, and Jorhat have near zero. A single Cardiologist in any of these cities can see 30–40 patients a day from Day 1. Diabetes and hypertension-driven CKD is rising sharply in NE India. Dialysis units are being set up but lack trained Nephrologists. OEF has seen Nephrologists from NE India build ₹3–5L/month practices within 2 years of returning. Stroke, epilepsy, and neurological conditions are common and severely undertreated across NE India. A DM Neurologist in any state capital is guaranteed full practice from opening day. ## DM Admission FAQs 2026 DM Cardiology is the most competitive DM branch in India. Government AIQ DM Cardiology seats go to top NEET SS ranks. However, management quota DM Cardiology seats at corporate hospitals and private medical colleges are available for qualifying NEET SS scorers. OEF helps MD doctors identify which route is realistic for their rank. DM Nephrology and DM Neurology are slightly less competitive but still require good NEET SS scores. No. NEET SS is mandatory for DM admission at government institutions and most recognised private institutions. However, a few super-specialty hospitals conduct their own institutional DM entrance tests. These are typically at premier centres like AIIMS (which has its own process) or certain trust hospitals. OEF will tell you honestly what is available for your specific MD branch and qualification. At government institutions, DM residents typically receive ₹90,000–₹1,10,000 per month as stipend. Private institution stipends are lower — ₹40,000–₹70,000/month. After completion, DM holders who join hospital practice typically start at ₹3–5L/month and grow rapidly. Private practice earnings are significantly higher from Year 2–3. OEF’s DM guidance starts with a free call reviewing your MD specialisation, NEET SS score or expected score, and career goals. We then present verified institutional options — government counselling strategy and/or management quota institutions. We assist with documentation, institutional coordination, and support through the admission process. Every step is transparent. First call is always free.

Neurosurgery, Urology, Cardiothoracic Surgery, Plastic Surgery — OEF has guided MS doctors into top MCh programmes. ## What is MCh and Who Qualifies? MCh (Magistar Chirurgiae) is a 3-year super-specialty surgical degree, pursued after MS in the relevant parent subject. MCh Neurosurgery requires MS General Surgery or MS Neurosurgery. MCh Urology requires MS General Surgery. MCh CTVS requires MS General Surgery or MS Cardiothoracic surgery. MCh graduates become the most specialised surgeons in India. Neurosurgeons, Urologists, and Plastic Surgeons in private hospitals earn ₹5–15 Lakhs per month. The demand in Northeast India for these specialists is enormous and largely unmet. NEET SS qualification is required for government MCh seats. Management quota MCh seats are available at select super-specialty hospitals and private colleges. OEF’s network includes MCh-level placement guidance. ### MCh at a Glance ## MCh Branches — Parent MS Required ### MCh Neurosurgery Brain, spine, and nerve surgery. ₹5–15L/month. Most prestigious surgical specialty. Very limited seats India-wide. ### MCh Urology Kidney, bladder, prostate surgery. Endoscopic and laparoscopic procedures. ₹4–10L/month. Very few in NE India. ### MCh Cardiothoracic & Vascular (CTVS) Heart surgery, bypass, valve replacement. ₹5–12L/month. Only in major hospitals. Extraordinary career. ### MCh Surgical Oncology Cancer surgery — breast, GI, colorectal. ₹3–8L/month. India’s growing cancer burden driving demand. ### MCh Plastic Surgery Reconstructive and cosmetic. ₹3–8L/month. Growing cosmetic surgery market. Burn reconstruction also in scope. ### MCh Paediatric Surgery Child surgical conditions. Very limited specialists in India. ₹3–7L/month. Extremely rare in NE India. ## How to Get an MCh Seat in India — Step by Step MCh (Magistar Chirurgiae) admission follows the same regulatory framework as DM — mandatory NEET SS for government seats, with management quota options at private super-specialty hospitals and medical colleges. Here is the clear, honest process. MCh Neurosurgery and Urology primarily require MS General Surgery. MCh CTVS may accept MS General Surgery or a dedicated MS Cardiothoracic. MCh Plastic Surgery requires MS General Surgery or a recognised MS Plastic Surgery. MCh Paediatric Surgery requires MS Paediatric Surgery or MS General Surgery from certain institutions. NEET SS is conducted by NTA. You appear in the Surgery paper. Qualifying opens AIQ counselling for government MCh seats. NEET SS is also required or considered by most private institutions for management quota MCh seats. MCC conducts centralised MCh counselling for AIQ seats at government medical colleges, AIIMS institutions, and JIPMER. MCh Neurosurgery, Urology, and CTVS AIQ seats are extremely competitive. NE India candidates typically access these via management quota at private institutions. Select corporate super-specialty hospitals and private medical colleges offer MCh management quota seats in Neurosurgery, Urology, CTVS, Surgical Oncology, and Plastic Surgery. These fill rapidly. OEF tracks availability and helps MS doctors access these seats through the proper institutional process. ### MCh Management Quota Fees (Approx.) Fees vary by institution. Call OEF for verified figures before any decision. MCh without NEET SS is not recognised. NMC regulations require valid NEET SS qualification for all MCh admissions at MCI/NMC-recognised institutions. OEF guides only through compliant pathways. ## What Does an MCh Career Look Like in Real Life? MCh graduates enter as the most specialised surgeons in India. The first 2–3 years after MCh are typically spent in a senior residency or consultant position at a hospital to build independent surgical volume. After that, the trajectory is steep. A Urologist or Neurosurgeon in a Tier-2 Indian city who builds a referral network can easily reach ₹8–15 Lakhs per month within 5 years of completing MCh. In metro cities at top hospitals, earnings can exceed ₹20 Lakhs per month. For doctors from Northeast India, the calculus is even more compelling. There are very few MCh Neurosurgeons or Urologists in the entire 8-state region. An MS doctor from Nagaland or Mizoram who completes MCh Urology and returns home faces virtually no competition and immediate high patient volume from Day 1 of practice. Hospital salary Years 1–3: ₹3–6L/month. Own practice after 5 years: ₹8–20L/month. Brain tumour, spine, trauma surgery. Hospital + own practice: ₹5–12L/month. Kidney stones, prostate, cancer, robotic surgery skills. Cardiac surgery hospitals: ₹5–15L/month. Bypass, valve, aortic surgery. Hospital-based career. Cancer centre or own practice: ₹4–10L/month. India’s growing cancer burden ensures lifelong patient demand. ## MCh Admission FAQs 2026 No. MCh Neurosurgery requires completing MS General Surgery first, then clearing NEET SS. The full path is MBBS → MS General Surgery (3 years after NEET PG) → MCh Neurosurgery (3 years after NEET SS). Total time after MBBS internship is 6 years of postgraduate training. There are no shortcuts or alternative routes recognised by NMC. MCh Neurosurgery has approximately 150–200 total seats across all institutions in India. Government seats at AIIMS, PGI, NIMHANS, and state medical colleges are extremely competitive. Management quota seats at private institutions add 40–60 more seats, though these are expensive. OEF tracks availability and helps MS-qualified doctors identify realistic pathways. Absolutely. Urology is severely underserved across NE India. Kidney stone management, prostate conditions, urological cancers, and paediatric urological conditions require specialists that most NE India cities simply do not have. An MCh Urologist returning to Guwahati, Imphal, Dimapur, or Shillong will immediately have more patients than they can manage. The investment in 6 years of PG training pays back very quickly. Yes. OEF has guided several MS doctors from NE India into MCh programmes since 2008. We understand the NEET SS process, the management quota institutional landscape, and the realistic career trajectories. Our guidance is based on actual placement experience, not theory. Call 9085064444 for a free discussion about your specific MS qualification and target branch. Also see ## Ready for Your MCh? Talk to OEF Free. --- # Fellowship Programmes 2026 | After MD MS Source: https://orchidfoundation.info/fellowship.html # Fellowship Programmes 2026 Skills That Set You Apart Fellowships let you acquire highly specialised clinical skills after MD or MS — without going through the NEET SS process. OEF helps doctors identify the right fellowship for their career goals. What is a Clinical Fellowship? Unlike DM or MCh (which require NEET SS), clinical fellowships are hospital-based training programmes of 6–24 months offered by accredited hospitals and institutions. They are offered in specialised areas like interventional cardiology, laparoscopic surgery, liver transplant, oncology, and more. They do not replace DM/MCh but add highly marketable skills to your CV. ## Fellowship Programmes — High-Value Skills in 2026 ### Interventional Cardiology Fellowship Angioplasty, stenting, catheterisation procedures. For MD Cardiology or senior DM Cardiology graduates. 12–24 months at top cardiac centres. ### Laparoscopic Surgery Fellowship Minimally invasive surgical skills. Available after MS General Surgery. 6–12 months. Dramatically increases surgical income and referrals. ### Liver Transplant & HPB Fellowship Liver, pancreas, and biliary surgery. Very specialised. Offered at ILBS Delhi, Medanta, and Apollo centres. ### Clinical Oncology Fellowship Cancer management across specialties. 12–18 months. Offered at Tata Memorial, AIIMS, and major cancer centres. ### Neonatology Fellowship Sick newborn care, NICU management. After MD Paediatrics. Extremely needed in Northeast India. ### Spine Surgery Fellowship Complex spine surgeries, deformity correction. After MCh Neurosurgery or MS Orthopaedics. Strong private practice demand. OEF helps doctors identify the right fellowship for their career stage and specialisation. We connect you with accredited programmes at reputed hospitals. The process begins with a free counselling call where we understand your current qualification and career goals. ## Fellowship vs DM/MCh — What is the Right Choice for You? After completing MD or MS, doctors face a key decision: pursue the formal super-specialty degree (DM or MCh via NEET SS) or acquire specialised skills through a clinical fellowship. These are not mutually exclusive — many doctors do both. But the right sequence depends on your goals, timeline, and financial situation. | Factor | Fellowship | DM / MCh | |---|---|---| | Duration | 6–24 months | 3 years | | NEET SS required | No | Yes (govt seats) | | Formal degree | No (certificate) | Yes (NMC degree) | | Cost | ₹2–10L total | ₹60L–2Cr total | | Salary during training | ₹30K–70K/month | ₹40K–1.1L/month | | Career impact | High skills premium | Full specialist title | OEF recommendation: If you have a competitive NEET SS rank, pursue DM/MCh. If not, a fellowship lets you build specialist skills and market yourself while you prepare for NEET SS again — or if you decide the formal degree is not needed for your practice model. Fellowship + private practice: A Laparoscopic Surgery fellow earns ₹25,000–₹40,000 more per procedure than a non-fellowship general surgeon. Over a 20-year career, fellowship skills can contribute ₹2–4 Crore in additional earnings — far exceeding the cost and time of the fellowship itself. ### Best Fellowship Centres in India ## High-Value Fellowship Skills for Northeast India Practice For a doctor returning to practice in Northeast India, fellowship skills are a powerful differentiator. Here is OEF’s honest assessment of which fellowships offer the highest return in the NE India context specifically. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy, appendectomy, hernia repair — these are daily surgical needs in NE India that most hospitals currently refer out. A fellowship-trained surgeon can capture this volume entirely. Cost: ₹3–6L. ROI: 3–6 months of practice. Sick newborn management is critically underserved. NE India has among India’s highest infant mortality rates. An MD Paediatrics doctor with Neonatology fellowship can establish a high-impact, high-earning NICU anywhere in the region. Most hospitals in NE India lack trained intensivists. An MD with Critical Care fellowship can command ₹2–4L/month from Day 1 in any hospital setting — and is typically offered senior positions immediately. With over 3 million diabetics in NE India and numbers rising sharply, a structured Diabetology fellowship (after MD Medicine) positions a doctor for dedicated diabetic practice with excellent patient volume and sustainable recurring income. OEF has observed a pattern since 2008: doctors who go back to NE India with specialised skills — whether formal DM/MCh or fellowship certificates — consistently outperform those who return as general MD/MS practitioners. The skills gap in the region is so large that even a 12-month fellowship creates a meaningful competitive moat. Our guidance on fellowships covers: identifying the right programme for your specialisation, evaluating institutional quality and faculty credibility, understanding certificate recognition for insurance empanelment, and planning the transition from fellowship back into practice. ## Clinical Fellowship FAQs 2026 Clinical fellowship certificates are not NMC degrees — they do not replace MD, MS, DM, or MCh qualifications. However, certificates from NABH-accredited hospitals and premier institutions are recognised for insurance empanelment, hospital credentialing, and are accepted by most hospitals for appointment as specialist consultants. They significantly improve earning capacity and are increasingly valued in private practice. Many doctors use a fellowship strategically — it builds skills, pays a stipend, and gives you structured study time for NEET SS preparation simultaneously. A 12-month fellowship in your specialty alongside focused NEET SS preparation is a viable and productive approach. OEF has seen this combination work well for several NE India doctors who subsequently cleared NEET SS and proceeded to DM/MCh. OEF connects MD and MS doctors with fellowship programmes at verified hospitals. We help evaluate programme quality, understand application processes, and plan the overall career trajectory. Fellowship guidance is part of OEF’s broader post-MBBS career support. First call is free — call 9085064444 to discuss your specific qualification and goals. ## Which Fellowship is Right for You?

That makes us one of the longest continuously running medical admission consultancies in the Northeast. What we do has not changed in all that time: get students from this region into MBBS, BDS, BAMS, MDS, MD and MS seats, without anyone being taken for a ride along the way. ## Northeast India's Oldest Since 2008 2000+ Students Guided Orchid Education Foundation was established in 2008 in Bormotoria Guwahati, Assam with a single mission: to give students from Northeast India access to the same quality of MBBS, BDS, BAMS, MDS, MD and MS admission guidance available in metropolitan cities. What started as a small office has grown into one of Northeast India's oldest and most trusted medical admission consultancies, still doctor-led seventeen years on. OEF is headquartered in Guwahati, Assam and provides comprehensive guidance to students from all 8 Northeast states — in-person at our Bormotoria Guwahati office, or remotely via phone and WhatsApp. Looking for MBBS guidance for private medical colleges in Karnataka, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, Manipur or Tripura through management or NRI quota — you are at exactly the right place. ### Our Mission Transparent, honest, doctor-verified admission guidance for every student from Northeast India. ### Our Vision India's most trusted medical admission consultancy — a standard-bearer for integrity and student-first values. ## Why OEF Was Started in Guwahati in 2008 OEF began because students from Northeast India were being cheated. Agents made promises they could not keep. Families spent savings built over decades on decisions that were wrong before the money left the account. Somebody who had been through medical training in this region had watched it happen often enough to stop watching. The idea behind the firm has not changed since. A student from Assam or Nagaland deserves the same quality of admission guidance as a student from Delhi or Bengaluru. Because OEF is led by a practising MBBS doctor, advice about which college to pick, which quota to claim and when to act comes from inside medical education rather than from a commission sheet. Seventeen years and more than 2,000 students later, OEF is the name Northeast Indian families call when a child's future is on the line. We still say no to students when the honest answer is no. ### Doctor-Led Since 2008 Guidance grounded in medical training, not sales targets. Students placed into MBBS, BDS and BAMS programmes across India. Domicile rules, PRC and ST(H)/ST(P) certificates, travel realities — the things generic consultants miss.

Bring the real scorecard, the real Class 12 marks, the real category certificate if you have one, and we work from what is actually in front of us. Most bad decisions in this admission cycle start from someone guessing at their own numbers. ### Parents ask the questions students won't Fees over five years. Hostel safety. What happens if a rank slips in Round 2. These come up more honestly in a room than on a call, and we would rather answer them once, properly, than have a family find out the hard way in September. ### Paperwork gets checked on the spot Domicile certificates, ST(H) and ST(P) papers, migration certificates for students who studied outside their home state — these are the things counselling authorities reject applications over. We have seen the same three mistakes for seventeen years. Better we catch them at our desk than a verification officer catches them at yours. ### No appointment, no waiting list We know families travelling in from Shillong, Dimapur or Silchar cannot always plan a visit two weeks ahead. So we do not run one. Walk in during office hours and someone will see you. ## The Office, in Bormotoria Guwahati ## MBBS and BDS Are Our Bread and Butter. Here's What We Cover for Each. ### MBBS — where your score actually lands All India Quota versus state quota versus management quota, explained against your real rank, not a rough estimate. Which states are realistic on budget. What the security deposit actually protects and when it gets forfeited. Full MBBS guide → ### BDS — the choice families rush A qualifying NEET score with no high-rank requirement makes BDS accessible in ways MBBS is not, and that also means families decide too fast. We walk through college quality, real placement numbers and whether BDS or a lower-fee MBBS route actually serves your five-year plan better. Full BDS guide → ### Documents that survive verification We go through your actual paperwork in the room — domicile, category, migration certificates for NE students studying elsewhere — and flag what is missing or wrongly filed before a counselling authority does it for you. ### The counselling calendar, mapped to you Which windows are open right now, which apply to your domicile, and which order to register in so you do not miss a deadline chasing another one. Live deadline tracker → ## We Also Guide the Rest of the Path MBBS and BDS are what most families walk in for. If your question sits elsewhere in medicine, we cover that too. ## Seventeen Years of the Same Desk OEF started in Guwahati because students from this region were making five-year decisions on the strength of an agent's promise, with nobody checking whether that promise held up. It still does not always hold up. What changed is that families now have somewhere in Bormotoria Guwahati to walk in and get the paperwork checked before the money moves, not after. More than 2,000 students have come through that door since. Some walked out with an MBBS plan. Some walked out choosing BDS or BAMS instead, for reasons that made sense once the numbers were on the table. A few walked out being told, plainly, that this year was not their year and a structured repeat attempt was the better call. We would rather say that once, in the room, than let a family find out in October. NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every MBBS and BDS seat in India, government or private, with no exception. Anyone offering a seat without it is not offering you anything real. That is the one thing we will never soften, no matter how far someone has travelled to hear it. ## Questions Parents Ask Us No. Walk in any day, all seven days, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are on the 3rd floor of Red Stone Building, beside Pantaloons, above ASG Eye Care, Bormotoria Guwahati. NEET season gets busy in the afternoon, so mornings are quieter if you want more time with a counsellor. Yes, no fee and no catch attached to it. You bring your NEET score or your Class 12 marks if you have not taken NEET yet, and we tell you honestly what it opens up. If the honest answer is that your options are limited this year, we say that too, in the same session. Anyone. We have guided students from Meghalaya, Manipur, Nagaland, Mizoram, Tripura, Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, alongside Assam. If travelling to Guwahati is hard, call or WhatsApp first and we will do everything possible over the phone before you need to come in. No, and be careful of anyone who tells you they can. NEET UG qualification is mandatory for every medical and dental seat in India, no exception, and no consultant anywhere can guarantee an outcome that depends on your score, category and the seat matrix in a given year. What we do is tell you which colleges and quotas genuinely fit your number, and help you avoid the mistakes that cost families a year or a security deposit. A college tells you about itself. We have counselled students into MBBS, BDS, BAMS and BHMS seats across states since 2008, so we can tell you how one college compares to another on fees, faculty, hostel and placement reality — not just the brochure version. And because we are not tied to any single institution, there is no reason for us to steer you towards one over another except what actually fits you. ## The Office Is Open.
