Deemed, Private,
Government and DNB
| Route | Who fills the seat | Money rule to know | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deemed university | MCC, on All India Rank, 100% of seats, 15% NRI | Higher deposit (Rs 2,00,000 in the draft bulletin); fees set by the college; late exit forfeits from Round 2. See deemed guide | Candidates whose budget fits the three-year total |
| Private college (non-deemed) | The state authority, through state counselling (state, management or NRI seats) | Each state sets its own deposit, fee and bond. See management quota guide and the state page | Candidates with a state rank or an NRI sponsor |
| Government All India Quota | MCC, 50% of government seats | Lower fees; Round 2 onward exit forfeits the deposit | Candidates whose rank reaches the seat in a later round |
| State government seats | State authority, usually domicile-linked | Bonds are common; read them in the joining notice | Domicile candidates |
| DNB | NBEMS counselling (separate from MCC) | Hospital-specific fees and stipends | Candidates open to a DNB seat in a later round |
Cut-offs usually fall in later rounds as seats vacate, but nothing is promised. Use the round-wise allotment data on mcc.nic.in and each state site for the last cycle, then build a list of 15 to 20 choices across branches and fee levels.
