01Introduction to NEET Counseling
NEET counseling is the gateway to all medical seats in India. The process is divided into two main categories: All India Quota (AIQ) conducted by MCC, and State Quota conducted by respective state authorities.
02Eligibility for Counseling
Only candidates who qualify for NEET by scoring the minimum cut-off percentile are eligible to participate in the counseling process. For General category, it's the 50th percentile, while for reserved categories, it's the 40th percentile.
03AIQ vs. State Quota
The Medical Counseling Committee (MCC) conducts counseling for 15% All India Quota seats in Government colleges and 100% seats in Deemed/Central Universities. The remaining 85% seats in state government colleges are filled through State counseling.
