Delhi NEET PG Counselling 2026 decides your seat in MD, MS and Diploma programmes across the capital’s government medical colleges. The process isn’t one uniform system — it changes by institution, and that’s exactly where most first-time applicants go wrong. This guide breaks down registration, eligibility, seat matrix, cutoff and top colleges in one place, sourced directly from official portals.
What Is Delhi NEET PG Counselling?
Delhi NEET PG Counselling admits MBBS graduates into postgraduate MD, MS and Diploma seats at the capital’s medical colleges. The right way to understand it: identify your target institution first, then check which quota and authority applies to it.
- MAMC, UCMS, LHMC (University of Delhi institutions) — MCC counsels 100% of these seats (AIQ plus the Delhi University Quota/institutional quota) under its Central Universities category. Once MCC allots a seat here, the candidate separately completes University of Delhi/FMS admission formalities. Register for counselling at mcc.nic.in; track DU-side formalities at fmsc.du.ac.in.
- VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital, ABVIMS & Dr RML Hospital, ESIC PGIMSR Basaidarapur — MCC counsels 50% All India Quota directly, and the remaining 50% follows the applicable I.P. University-linked seat structure for that institution.
- HIMSR (Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences & Research) — a deemed university under Jamia Hamdard. MCC counsels 100% of its seats. It carries no Delhi state or domicile quota.
- AIIMS Delhi — not part of NEET PG counselling at all (more on this below).
A candidate targeting a DU-institution seat completes MCC counselling first, then finishes University of Delhi/FMS-side registration once MCC confirms the allotment — the exact sequence and required steps are specified in each round’s official notice, so follow the current bulletin rather than a fixed template.
Our AIQ NEET PG counselling guide explains how the All India Quota works nationally, useful background before you dive into Delhi’s institution-by-institution layer.
Delhi NEET PG Counselling Eligibility
Candidates must meet these conditions to register.
- Hold an MBBS degree from an NMC-recognised college.
- Score a valid NEET PG rank in the current admission year.
- Complete the one-year compulsory rotating internship by the cut-off date specified in that year’s admission notice — not simply “before joining.”
- Hold permanent or provisional registration with NMC or a State Medical Council.
- Meet reserved-category relaxations where applicable (OBC, SC, ST, EWS, PwD).
DU institutions (MAMC, UCMS, LHMC) apply an additional institutional/Delhi University Quota eligibility layer on top of the general NEET PG conditions. Confirm the exact conditions for the current cycle on fmsc.du.ac.in before choice filling, since these can vary by round.
Delhi NEET PG Counselling Registration Process 2026
Registration happens entirely online.
- Create a login on mcc.nic.in using your NEET PG roll number.
- Fill personal, academic and category details.
- Pay the registration fee and refundable security deposit.
- Fill choices for Delhi colleges in order of preference.
- Lock choices within the window specified for that round.
- Check the seat allotment result on the scheduled date.
- Report to the allotted college with original documents within the reporting window.
Candidates allotted a seat at MAMC, UCMS or LHMC additionally complete University of Delhi/FMS registration and document formalities, as specified in that round’s official notice on fmsc.du.ac.in.

Delhi NEET PG Counselling Dates 2026
NEET PG 2026 was conducted on 30 August 2026. The result date and the full 2026 counselling schedule hadn’t been officially notified.
The table below shows the round structure MCC has followed in the most recent completed cycles, as a reference — not confirmed 2026 dates.
| Round | Typical Activity |
|---|---|
| Round 1 | Registration, choice filling, locking, allotment |
| Round 2 | Fresh/upgrade registration, choice filling, allotment |
| Round 3 | Further registration/choice filling, allotment for seats vacated in earlier rounds |
| Stray Vacancy Round | Final allocation of remaining eligible seats |
Bookmark mcc.nic.in and fmsc.du.ac.in and check both once NEET PG 2026 results release, since Delhi’s DU institutions run a dual-portal process.
Delhi NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026
Delhi’s PG seats fall into three distinct categories, and lumping them together is where most seat-matrix guides go wrong.
- DU institutions — MAMC, UCMS, LHMC
- I.P. University-linked institutions — VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital, ABVIMS & Dr RML Hospital, ESIC PGIMSR Basaidarapur
- Deemed university — HIMSR
Reservation isn’t uniform across these either. Central/AIQ seats at government institutions generally follow the Government of India formula (27% OBC, 15% SC, 7.5% ST, 10% EWS, 5% horizontal PwD reservation), while HIMSR’s deemed-university seats follow a different split — a Muslim Minority category alongside general and NRI seats, without the standard OBC/SC/ST/EWS reservation.
The 2026-27 branch-wise seat matrix for each institution hadn’t been officially published. FMS publishes a seat-position section on fmsc.du.ac.in once the cycle opens, and MCC publishes its information bulletin on mcc.nic.in – cross-check every number there before choice filling rather than relying on a prior year’s figures.
Delhi NEET PG Choice Filling & Seat Allotment
Choice filling opens once registration closes for each round. Rank your Delhi colleges by genuine preference, not by assumed cutoff.
Seat allotment depends on several factors together, not just three.
- Your NEET PG merit/rank
- Your applicable category and eligibility, including institutional eligibility for DU seats
- Seat availability in that specific round
- The counselling rules that apply to that institution and round
Seats become available in later rounds through upgrades, resignations, non-joining, and applicable seat conversions, subject to MCC’s round-specific rules and the published vacancy position for that round. Our NEET PG mop-up counselling guide covers exit penalties and vacancy types in more detail if you’re planning to wait for a later round.
Delhi NEET PG Cutoff
Delhi’s closing ranks vary significantly by college, specialty, category, quota and counselling round, and shift every year. Highly competitive clinical specialties at colleges like MAMC and UCMS can close at very high ranks (a low numerical AIR), while other specialties and Diploma seats can stay open at comparatively lower ranks. There’s no single number that represents “the Delhi cutoff” — always check the latest official allotment result for the specific college, branch, category and round you’re evaluating, rather than a single expected-cutoff figure.
In January 2026, NBEMS announced revised qualifying percentiles specifically for the NEET-PG 2025 admission cycle, following a Ministry of Health and Family Welfare direction to widen the eligible pool for Round 3 of that cycle. This was a 2025-cycle correction, not a standing rule — don’t treat it as the qualifying threshold for NEET-PG 2026 unless a separate 2026 notification says so. The qualifying percentile also only decides who’s eligible to sit for counselling at all; it has nothing to do with the much higher rank a candidate actually needs to close a seat at a competitive Delhi college.
Top Delhi Colleges for NEET PG
Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) — a DU institution known for high clinical volume and faculty strength.
University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) — attached to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, a DU institution strong in internal medicine and surgery branches.
Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) — a female-only DU institution with a well-regarded paediatrics and obstetrics-gynaecology programme.
Vardhman Mahavir Medical College & Safdarjung Hospital (VMMC & SJH) — an I.P. University-linked institution with one of Delhi’s highest patient loads.
ABVIMS & Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital — an I.P. University-linked institution, a newer but fast-growing PG destination with strong government-hospital infrastructure.
A Common Confusion: Does AIIMS Delhi Take NEET PG?
No. AIIMS Delhi’s MD, MS and MDS seats are admitted entirely through INI-CET, a separate entrance test AIIMS conducts itself twice a year. NEET PG counselling doesn’t cover AIIMS Delhi’s PG seats at all. If a search result led you here expecting AIIMS Delhi as part of NEET PG counselling, INI-CET is the exam to track instead — a genuinely different process with its own registration, exam pattern and counselling authority.
Documents Required for Delhi NEET PG Counselling
Keep these ready in original and self-attested photocopy form. This list covers the common requirements — MCC, FMS or your allotted institution may ask for additional documents specific to your round or category.
- NEET PG admit card and scorecard
- MBBS degree certificate and mark sheets
- Internship completion certificate
- Permanent or provisional NMC/State Medical Council registration
- Valid photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, or equivalent)
- Category, EWS or PwD certificate, where applicable (check current validity requirements)
- MCC/institution seat allotment letter
- Any service bond or undertaking specified by your allotted institution
Delhi NEET PG Counselling Fees
The figures below are MCC’s published NEET PG 2025 counselling fees, shared as a reference only — confirm the current fee structure in MCC’s 2026 information bulletin before registering.
MCC’s AIQ registration fee was ₹1,000 for General/EWS/OBC candidates and ₹500 for SC/ST/PwD candidates, plus a refundable security deposit of ₹25,000 (General/EWS/OBC) or ₹10,000 (SC/ST/PwD).

FAQs
Q1. Does Delhi NEET PG counselling registration 2026 need a separate FMS login?
Candidates seeking MAMC, UCMS or LHMC seats complete MCC counselling first, then follow the University of Delhi/FMS admission formalities specified for that round.

Your NEET PG merit/rank, applicable category and eligibility, seat availability, and the counselling rules for that specific institution and round.
Q3. Can candidates from outside Delhi apply through the Delhi NEET PG counselling process?
Yes, for the All India Quota share on mcc.nic.in. DU-institution seats carry their own institutional eligibility conditions, which candidates should check directly rather than assuming a generic domicile rule.

No, seat numbers shift with NMC approvals and institution-wise intake changes, so check the current bulletin each cycle.
Q5. Is AIIMS Delhi part of Delhi NEET PG counselling?
No, AIIMS Delhi PG seats go entirely through INI-CET, not NEET PG.

Your MBBS certificate, internship completion certificate, NMC registration, category certificate and MCC/institution allotment letter, plus any institution-specific documents.
Conclusion
Delhi NEET PG Counselling rewards candidates who map their target institution to its actual quota and authority, not a one-size-fits-all process.
