Introduction to NEET PG Counselling in India
In India, pursuing a postgraduate degree in medicine is a dream for many medical graduates. After completing MBBS, the next crucial step is qualifying for NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate Courses) — the gateway to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses in government and private medical colleges across India.
Every year, thousands of aspiring doctors compete to secure a seat in reputed institutions through NEET PG Counselling. The process involves several steps — from online registration and document verification to seat allotment and admission confirmation.
At Meer Education and Travel Solutions, we offer complete guidance for NEET PG Counselling to ensure that medical graduates make informed choices and successfully secure seats in recognized medical institutions.
NEET PG Counselling Overview
What is NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG Counselling is a centralized admission process conducted for candidates who have qualified in the NEET PG entrance examination. It helps allocate seats for postgraduate medical courses like MD (Doctor of Medicine), MS (Master of Surgery), and PG Diploma in both government and private medical colleges across India.
There are two main types of NEET PG Counselling:
All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling:
Conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for 50% of all government seats and 100% of deemed/central university seats.
State Quota Counselling:
Managed by respective State Medical Councils for the remaining 50% of seats in state government and private colleges.
Meer Education and Travel Solutions assists students with both AIQ and State-level counselling, ensuring every step of the process is handled smoothly.
