NEET counselling 2026 do parallel raaston se hoti hai: 15% All India Quota (AIQ) — Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) ke through mcc.nic.in par — aur 85% state quota, jo aapke rajya ke Directorate of Medical Education (DME) karwata hai. Dono ka process ek jaisa hai: registration → choice filling → locking → seat allotment, aur yeh 4–5 rounds me chalta hai (Round 1, Round 2, mop-up, stray vacancy). 2026 me re-exam 21 June ko hua, result ~20 July expected hai, aur MCC counselling uske turant baad late-July me shuru hone ki ummeed hai — par 12 July 2026 tak koi official date announce nahi hui.
NEET counselling 2026 abhi kis stage par hai? (12 July ka sach)

Seedhi baat pehle, taaki aap kisi fake "counselling registration open" link ke chakkar me na aayein: 12 July 2026 tak na result aaya hai, na MCC counselling shuru hui hai. Poora 2026 timeline yeh raha:
| Kab | Kya (2026) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 3 May 2026 | Original NEET UG exam — jo 12 May ko confirmed paper leak ki wajah se cancel hua | Cancel ho chuka |
| 21 June 2026 | Re-exam (dobara hua NEET UG) | Ho chuka |
| ~20 July 2026 | Result — neet.nta.nic.in par (NTA ne 20 July tak release confirm kiya) | Abhi nahi aaya (NTA-confirmed by 20 July; exact din/time baaki) |
| Late July 2026 (~21–25 July, tentative) | MCC AIQ Round 1 registration expected shuru | Abhi official nahi |
| ~October 2026 tak | Saare rounds (R1, R2, mop-up, stray) khatam hone ki ummeed | Expected |
Hum koi date invent nahi kar rahe: yeh "expected" windows exam trackers aur pichhle saal ke pattern par based hain, kyunki 2026 me leak ki wajah se pura calendar 1.5 mahine peeche khisak gaya hai. Exact date sirf mcc.nic.in (AIQ) aur aapke state counselling portal par aayegi. Jab tak MCC ki official notice na aaye, kisi bhi "NEET counselling 2026 registration link" par apni personal ya payment detail mat daaliye.
AIQ (15%) vs State Quota (85%): asli farak kya hai?
NEET exam ek hai, par seat allotment do bilkul alag systems se hota hai. Yahi cheez sabse zyada confuse karti hai, isliye seedha table:
| Point | All India Quota — AIQ (15%) | State Quota (85%) |
|---|---|---|
| Kaun karwata hai | MCC (Medical Counselling Committee), DGHS / Health Ministry — mcc.nic.in | Aapke rajya ka DME / counselling authority (jaise UP DGME, Maharashtra CET Cell, Bihar BCECEB/UGMAC, Rajasthan, TN Selection Committee) |
| Kitni seats | Har govt college ki 15% seats + saari deemed universities, central universities (BHU, AMU), AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC. (AFMC MCC se allot NAHI hoti — sirf MCC par registration + 'Yes' tick; final selection AFMC khud karta hai: apna test + interview + medical) | Har govt college ki baaki 85% seats + us rajya ke private colleges ki state-quota seats |
| Domicile | Zaroori nahi — poore Bharat ke liye khula (AIQ ka matlab hi yahi hai) | Zaroori — us rajya ka domicile/eligibility chahiye |
| Registration kahan | mcc.nic.in — ek hi portal, poore desh ke liye | Har rajya ka apna alag portal |
| Rounds | R1, R2, Mop-up, Stray Vacancy | R1, R2, Mop-up, Stray (state ke hisaab se thoda alag) |
Yaad rakhne wali baat: aap dono me alag-alag register kar sakte ho — AIQ MCC par, aur apne state quota me state portal par. Zyadatar serious aspirants dono bharte hain, kyunki 85% seats state quota me hoti hain — asli bada pool wahi hai. Lekin AIIMS, JIPMER aur central universities sirf AIQ (MCC) se hi milte hain. Poore Bharat me total ~1.29 lakh (1,29,603) MBBS seats hain, lagbhag 824 colleges me (govt ~63,683 + private/deemed ~65,920). Iske alawa BDS (~27,868), AYUSH (~52,720) aur veterinary/BVSc (~603 AIQ) seats bhi isi NEET se bharti hain.
MCC AIQ counselling ke steps: registration se locking tak
MCC ka process har round me 4 stage me chalta hai. Ek baar samajh lo, poori journey aasaan lagegi:
1. Registration + fee payment
Result aane ke baad apne NEET roll number/details se mcc.nic.in par register karo. Yahan ek non-refundable registration fee aur ek refundable security deposit bharni hoti hai (exact amount neeche fee table me). Har round ke liye alag registration window khulti hai.
2. Choice filling
Register hone ke baad aap jitne college + course combinations chahiye utni choices bhar sakte ho — priority order me, sabse pasand wala sabse upar. System aapki AIR ke hisaab se upar se neeche seat dhoondta hai, isliye order soch-samajh kar lagao. Zyada choices bharna hamesha behtar hai.
3. Choice locking
Deadline se pehle apni choices LOCK karna zaroori hai. Agar aap lock nahi karte, to aakhri saved choices deadline par auto-lock ho jaati hain — par ispe bharosa mat karo, khud lock karo. Locking ke baad order change nahi hoga.
4. Seat allotment + reporting
MCC aapki AIR, category, choices aur seat availability ke hisaab se seat allot karta hai. Provisional allotment letter download karo, aur allotted college me tay samay ke andar physically report karke documents verify karwao. Report na karne par seat cancel ho jaati hai.
Seat allotment rounds: R1, R2, mop-up aur stray vacancy
MCC AIQ me aam taur par 4 rounds hote hain. Har round lagbhag 10–15 din ka hota hai:
| Round | Kya hota hai | Ise kaun de sakta hai |
|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Fresh registration + choice filling; pehla seat allotment | Sab eligible candidates |
| Round 2 | R1 ki vacant + chhodi hui seats + naye candidates; R1 walon ka upgrade bhi isi me | R1 me join na karne wale, upgrade chahne wale, aur naye candidates |
| Mop-up Round (R3) | Bachi hui govt + deemed/central seats bharne ke liye | Jinke paas abhi tak seat nahi; R2 join kar chuke candidates aam taur par eligible nahi |
| Stray Vacancy Round | Sabse aakhri — bachi-khuchi seats bharne ke liye | Mop-up ke registered candidates (kai baar college-level par) |
Har round ke baad seat allotment result mcc.nic.in par aata hai. State counselling bhi lagbhag isi pattern me chalti hai, bas timeline thodi alag hoti hai (aksar AIQ ke thoda peeche).
Kaunse documents chahiye? Counselling checklist
Reporting ke time original + photocopy dono le jaana. Aam taur par yeh chahiye:
- NEET UG 2026 admit card
- NEET UG 2026 result / rank letter (scorecard)
- Class 10 certificate + marksheet (DOB proof ke liye)
- Class 12 certificate + marksheet
- Ek photo ID — Aadhaar / PAN / Passport / Driving Licence
- 6–8 passport-size photos — wahi jo NEET form me lagayi thi
- Provisional allotment letter (allotment ke baad milta hai)
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC-NCL) — agar reservation le rahe ho, latest prescribed format me
- EWS certificate — agar EWS le rahe ho, current financial year ka
- PwD / disability certificate — MCC-designated centre se, agar applicable ho
Ek pro tip: apne documents DigiLocker par pehle se ready rakho — reporting ke waqt bheed aur server load bahut hota hai, aur last-minute me scan karwana mushkil pad jaata hai.
Counselling fee structure: registration + security deposit
MCC do tarah ki fee leta hai — ek non-refundable registration fee aur ek refundable security deposit (jo rules follow karne / seat na lene par wapas mil jaata hai). Neeche pichhle cycle ke indicative figures hain — 2026 ke exact amount MCC information bulletin (mcc.nic.in) se hi confirm karein, hum koi number invent nahi kar rahe:
| Institute type | Registration fee (non-refundable) | Security deposit (refundable) |
|---|---|---|
| Govt / Central Univ / AIIMS / JIPMER / ESIC | ~₹1,000 (Gen/EWS), ~₹500 (SC/ST/OBC/PwD) | ~₹10,000 (Gen/EWS), ~₹5,000 (SC/ST/OBC/PwD) |
| Deemed universities | ~₹5,000 | ~₹2,00,000 |
Deemed universities ki security deposit itni zyada isliye hoti hai taaki log seat block karke chhod na dein. Dhyan rahe — yeh sirf counselling ki fee hai; college ki actual tuition fee alag hai. Govt MBBS ki tuition fee bahut kam hoti hai (kai rajyon me saal ke sirf kuch hazaar rupaye), jabki deemed/private colleges me yeh kai lakh per saal tak jaati hai — exact fee har college ke prospectus me hoti hai.
Resign, free-exit aur upgrade rules — yeh galti mat karna
Yahi woh section hai jahan har saal students phas jaate hain. Dhyan se padho:
- Free exit (Round 1): agar R1 me seat mili par aap join nahi karna chahte, to tay samay me exit kar sakte ho — security deposit wapas, koi penalty nahi. Isi liye R1 ko relatively "safe" round maana jaata hai.
- Upgrade (Round 2): agar R1 me seat mil gayi par aap behtar college chahte ho, to reporting ke waqt "upgrade" option choose karo — R2 me agar upar wali choice mil gayi to purani seat automatic cancel; agar nahi mili to purani seat safe rehti hai.
- Resign: R1 aur R2 ki tay window me resignation allowed hai. Par mop-up aur stray vacancy round me allot hui seat aam taur par resign NAHI ho sakti — join na karne par security deposit zabt (forfeit) ho sakti hai, aur aage ke rounds se debar bhi.
- R2 join karne ke baad: agar aapne R2 me seat join kar li, to aam taur par aap mop-up round me naye sire se part nahi le sakte — soch-samajh kar decide karo.
In rules ke exact din aur windows har cycle me thoda badalte hain — MCC 2026 information bulletin har round se pehle zaroor padho. Galat samajh me ek "resign" click aapka pura saal le sakta hai.
State quota (85%) counselling: apne rajya me kaise?
85% seats — yaani asli bada mauka — state counselling se milta hai. Har rajya apna alag counselling karwata hai, apne portal par, apne schedule se. Kuch examples:
- UP: DGME UP (upneet)
- Maharashtra: State CET Cell
- Bihar: BCECEB (UGMAC)
- Rajasthan: Medical Education dept (RajUGMEE)
- Tamil Nadu: Selection Committee (TN Health)
- Baaki rajya: apne DME / medical education directorate ki official site
Rules: state quota ke liye us rajya ka domicile/eligibility chahiye, aur registration MCC se bilkul alag hota hai — aapko dono jagah alag se apply karna padta hai. Timeline aksar AIQ ke thodi peeche chalti hai. Hum yahan kisi state ki koi date nahi likh rahe, kyunki 12 July 2026 tak kisi state ne bhi official schedule jaari nahi kiya — apne rajya ke medical education directorate ki site par hi dekho.
NEET me kitne marks pe government MBBS milega?
Yeh sabse zyada poocha jaane wala sawal hai, aur sabse zyada jhooth bhi isi par faila hai. Sach: sirf qualify karna aur govt MBBS seat lena — do bilkul alag cheezein hain.
| Target (General category) | Approx marks — 2025 reference |
|---|---|
| Sirf qualify (50th percentile) | ~144+ marks |
| Govt MBBS seat ka realistic floor (AIQ General, 2025) | ~525–550+ marks |
| Competitive states / better govt colleges | ~550–580+ marks |
| Top colleges / AIIMS Delhi type | ~650–700+ marks |
600+ ko "govt MBBS ke liye zaroori" batana galat hai. 2025 me AIQ general seats lagbhag 525–550 marks (AIR ~26,000) tak closed hui thin. 600+ asal me competitive-state ya top-college ka figure hai, general govt-MBBS ka floor nahi. Reserved categories (OBC/SC/ST) ka admission cutoff isse kaafi neeche hota hai aur round-dar-round girta rehta hai. 2026 re-exam saal hai, isliye cutoffs thode alag behave kar sakte hain. Yeh saare numbers approx hain — exact cutoff har counselling round ke baad category aur state ke hisaab se badalta hai.
MBBS ke baad kamai: intern se resident tak
Parents yeh zaroor poochte hain, isliye honest numbers (hawaai crore nahi):
| Stage | Monthly (approx) |
|---|---|
| Internship (1 saal, MBBS ke andar) | State colleges ~₹10,000–30,000; AIIMS/central-govt ~₹30,070 |
| Junior Resident (MD/MS/DNB ke dauraan) | ~₹60,000 se ~₹1.1–1.2 lakh gross (AIIMS/central zyada, chhote state colleges kam) |
| Senior Resident / fresh govt Medical Officer | ~₹1.0–1.5 lakh gross (NPA/DA/HRA sameet, 7th CPC Level 10, DA 60%) |
Honest note: yeh 5.5 saal (MBBS + internship) + PG ka lamba grind hai, par ROI India ke sabse honest careers me se ek hai. Agar aap doosre secure sarkari raaston par bhi soch rahe ho, to graduation ke baad ke options yahan dekho: Graduation ke baad govt job guide. Aur agar abhi 12th ki subject/backup planning chal rahi hai (BSc Nursing, BDS, AYUSH, paramedical, CUET), to course-to-exam map ek jagah pura raasta dikha deta hai.

FAQ: NEET counselling 2026 — aapke sawal
NEET counselling 2026 kab shuru hogi?
12 July 2026 tak koi official date announce nahi hui. Re-exam 21 June ko hua, result ~20 July expected hai, aur MCC AIQ Round 1 registration uske turant baad late-July (tentatively ~21–25 July) me shuru hone ki ummeed hai. Confirm date sirf mcc.nic.in aur state portals par aayegi — abhi official nahi.
AIQ aur state quota me kya farak hai?
AIQ (All India Quota) har govt college ki 15% seats + saari deemed/central universities, AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC ko cover karta hai, MCC (mcc.nic.in) ke through, bina domicile ke. State quota baaki 85% seats hai, jise aapka rajya karwata hai aur uske liye us rajya ka domicile chahiye. Dono me alag-alag register karna padta hai.
NEET counselling ki fee kitni hai?
MCC do fees leta hai — non-refundable registration fee (govt: ~₹1,000 Gen/EWS, ~₹500 SC/ST/OBC/PwD; deemed ~₹5,000) aur refundable security deposit (govt: ~₹10,000 Gen/EWS, ~₹5,000 SC/ST/OBC/PwD; deemed ~₹2,00,000). Yeh pichhle cycle ke indicative figures hain; 2026 ke exact amount MCC information bulletin (mcc.nic.in) par confirm karein. College ki tuition fee isse alag hai.
Round 1 me seat mil gayi to kya resign ya upgrade kar sakte hain?
Haan. Round 1 me free-exit allowed hai — seat na leni ho to tay samay me exit karo, security deposit wapas. Behtar college chahiye to reporting ke waqt "upgrade" choose karo; R2 me upar wali choice mili to purani seat auto-cancel. Par mop-up/stray round me allot hui seat aam taur par resign nahi hoti — join na karne par deposit zabt ho sakti hai.
NEET me kitne marks pe government MBBS milega?
Sirf qualify (50th percentile) ke liye ~144+ marks kaafi hain, par govt MBBS seat ke liye kaafi zyada chahiye: 2025 me AIQ General seats lagbhag ~525–550+ marks tak closed hui thin. 600+ actually competitive-state/top-college ka figure hai, general floor nahi. Reserved categories ka cutoff isse neeche hota hai. Exact cutoff har round aur state par badalta hai.
Counselling ke liye kaunse documents chahiye?
NEET 2026 admit card + result/rank letter, Class 10 aur 12 certificate + marksheet, ek photo ID (Aadhaar/PAN/Passport), 6–8 passport photos, aur allotment ke baad provisional allotment letter. Reservation le rahe ho to latest format ka category/EWS/PwD certificate bhi. Original + photocopy dono reporting ke time le jaana.
