Medical Seats 2025: NEET Rank-based AIQ & State Quota Allocation

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is the governing body that issues guidelines on medical exams conducted at the national level. The National Testing Agency (NTA) monitors the National Eligibility Entrance Test (NEET), evaluates performances, and ensures that rank holders secure admissions at the respective medical institutions at the central and state levels. The Government of India has reserved 15 percent of NEET seats under the All India Quota, and the MCC fills the 15 percent seats throughout India in the state-level colleges. The remaining 85 percent of NEET seats that are allotted at the state level are filled by the respective states. 100 percent of the NEET seats are filled in medical colleges at both the central and state levels through four rounds. Therefore, when NEET counselling begins, it is conducted simultaneously at the central and state levels. NTA publishes a strict schedule, and each round is contested by the participating NEET scorers for seat accommodation at the best medical colleges made available. At the end of each round, a candidate can cancel their locked seat and attempt the next scheduled round. The registration fee and any additional collected fees are adjusted for the subsequent rounds. However, one must stay updated on the number of available medical seats in India at the state and central levels. The lines below describe the composition of seat availability at reputed government colleges at the state & central levels, including the autonomous universities, which means total MBBS seats in India. This information can become a reference for those attending the NEET counselling sessions.
