The Institutional Density Advantage

Certain states act as massive medical hubs due to a high concentration of participating institutions. States with aggressive recent medical college expansions often present the best opportunities during Round 3 and Stray Vacancy, as newly added peripheral campuses typically close at more relaxed ranks.

State FAQ
Do I need a local domicile to get a government medical seat in this state?
No. 15% of all Government MBBS and BDS seats in this state are strictly reserved for the All India Quota (AIQ). Any student from any state can secure these seats based purely on their NEET All India Rank.
Are the cutoffs shown here for State Quota or All India Quota?
The rank ranges displayed on this platform strictly represent the open All India Quota (AIQ) and standard Management quotas. Internal state domicile cutoffs are usually lower than the AIQ cutoffs.
What should I know before moving to a different state for MBBS?
You must verify the state's Rural Service Bond policy before choice locking. Many states require graduates to serve in rural clinics for 1 to 5 years after completing their degree, with heavy financial penalties for breaking the bond.
