State Quota Counselling 2026

State Quota Counselling 2026 covers 85% of government medical college seats plus all seats in private and deemed medical colleges within a state. It is conducted separately by each state’s own Medical/Health Education Directorate — not by MCC.

General Process for State Quota Counselling

Each state publishes its own counselling schedule, eligibility rules, and choice-filling portal after the NEET UG 2026 result is declared. The general process is similar everywhere: registration on the state portal, document verification, choice filling, seat allotment in multiple rounds, and reporting to the allotted college. Domicile/residence requirements, reservation percentages (state-level OBC/SC/ST/EWS quotas), and the number of counselling rounds vary by state — always confirm the exact rules from your own state’s official medical counselling website.

Frequently Asked Questions

All India Rank (AIR) is the overall rank among all NEET 2026 candidates regardless of category. Category Rank is the rank within a specific category (General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwBD). The Category Rank is used for state quota and reserved category seat allotment. Both ranks are printed on the NEET scorecard. AIQ counselling uses AIR for General seats and Category Rank for reserved seats.
