Cleared NEET-UG 2025? Congratulations!
But your journey doesn’t end here — the next big step is NEET counselling, where you’ll choose the right medical college and secure your MBBS or BDS seat.

If you’re feeling confused about the counselling process, rounds, document requirements, or the difference between AIQ and State Quota — this simple and complete NEET counselling guide is for you.

What is NEET Counselling?

NEET counselling is the official process through which medical (MBBS), dental (BDS), and AYUSH seats are allotted to students in government and private colleges across India, based on their NEET rank, category, and eligibility.

You must register, fill out choices, and attend the seat allotment process to get admission.

Types of NEET Counselling

There are two main types of NEET counselling:

1. All India Quota (AIQ) – Conducted by MCC

• Covers 15% of seats in government medical colleges across all states (except J&K)
• Includes AIIMS, JIPMER, Deemed Universities, Central Universities (like BHU, DU, AMU), ESIC, and AFMC (only registration via MCC)
• Open to all NEET-qualified candidates across India
• Official website: https://mcc.nic.in

2. State Quota – Conducted by State Authorities

• Covers 85% of seats in state government colleges
• Also includes private medical and dental colleges
• Available only for candidates eligible as per state domicile rules
• Every state has its own counselling portal (e.g. wbmcc.nic.in for West Bengal)

Tip: You can apply for both AIQ and your State Quota to increase your chances of getting a good seat.
