DU NEET PG Counselling 2026 decides who enters MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats at the University of Delhi’s postgraduate medical institutions, based on the NEET PG exam. One authority runs the entire process — the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts counselling for both the 50% Delhi University Quota (DUQ) and the 50% All India Quota (AIQ) through a single registration on mcc.nic.in. The Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS), University of Delhi steps in only after MCC allotment, to complete admission formalities. This guide walks through DUQ eligibility, the seat matrix, cutoff trends, dates, documents, fees, and bond rules exactly as the official 2026 FMS Bulletin lays them out.
What Is DU NEET PG Counselling?
DU NEET PG counselling covers postgraduate MD, MS, and PG Diploma admission across the University of Delhi’s participating institutions — Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC), University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS), and several associated centres including Vallabhbhai Patel Chest Institute, G.B. Pant Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education & Research, Army Hospital (R&R), Kasturba Hospital, IHBAS, and Hindu Rao Hospital.
Seats split into two categories, not two counselling authorities: 50% Delhi University Quota (DUQ) and 50% All India Quota (AIQ). The Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, through MCC, conducts counselling for both categories on a single online portal. FMS/University of Delhi doesn’t run a separate counselling process — it only handles post-allotment admission registration once MCC finalises a seat.

DUQ vs AIQ: What Actually Separates Them
DUQ and AIQ aren’t two different registrations. They’re two seat-sharing categories inside one MCC counselling process, and the difference comes down to eligibility, not authority.
DUQ eligibility: Candidates must have passed their final MBBS examination from the University of Delhi itself. Domicile plays no role here — a candidate’s home state doesn’t matter. What matters is where they completed MBBS.
AIQ eligibility: Open to candidates who completed their final MBBS from any NMC-recognised institution anywhere in India.
Both categories run through the same registration, choice-filling, and allotment cycle on mcc.nic.in. AIIMS Delhi sits outside this entire structure — its PG admissions run through INI-CET, a separate AIIMS-conducted exam, never through NEET PG or MCC’s DU counselling.
DU NEET PG Counselling Eligibility
- A qualifying NEET PG 2026 score, meeting the minimum percentile prescribed by NBEMS and MCC
- Final MBBS from the University of Delhi for DUQ seats, or from any NMC-recognised institution for AIQ seats
- Completed one-year compulsory rotating internship, with a completion certificate produced at admission
- Valid registration with the Delhi Medical Council, a State Medical Council, or the National Medical Commission
- Medical fitness, confirmed through the assigned institution’s medical board
For Personalized Guidance
DU NEET PG Counselling 2026 Dates
NEET PG 2026 was conducted on 30 August 2026. MCC releases the confirmed counselling schedule — registration, choice filling, allotment, and reporting dates.
Once MCC opens registration, the FMS Bulletin describes the DUQ vacant-seat handling this way: DUQ seats unfilled after Round 1, Round 2, and the Mop-Up round move into the AIQ pool for the stray vacancy round.
Keep mcc.nic.in and fmsc.du.ac.in bookmarked — MCC controls the actual schedule, and FMS mirrors it for DU-specific updates.
DU NEET PG Counselling Registration & Admission Process
- Register once, on mcc.nic.in, using your NEET PG roll number and score. This single registration covers both DUQ and AIQ choice filling.
- Fill and lock choices, ranking course-institution combinations across both DUQ and AIQ options as eligible.
- Wait for MCC’s seat allotment, published as category-wise ranks.
- Register separately on fmsc.du.ac.in but only after MCC allots you a University of Delhi seat. This second registration is an admission formality, not a second counselling round. It requires document upload (photograph, signature, MBBS certificates, internship certificate, medical council registration, category certificates where applicable) and payment of the University Registration Fee.
- Report to the allotted institution with original documents, the MCC allotment letter, and the FMS registration printout for verification.
Candidates who register on fmsc.du.ac.in without a valid MCC allotment get their registration invalidated, with no fee refund.
DU NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026
The Faculty of Medical Sciences has already published the 2026 seat-position documents — a separate MD/MS matrix and a separate PG Diploma matrix, both live on fmsc.du.ac.in’s admission page. [Source: FMS admission-pg page, 2026-27] The Bulletin describes the Faculty offering 24 postgraduate degree courses and 6 postgraduate diploma courses under NEET PG.
Before finalising your choice list, open the official seat-position PDFs directly on fmsc.du.ac.in and cross-check institute-wise, branch-wise numbers — seat counts get revised through the cycle (the 2025 matrix itself was revised as late as November 2025), so treat any third-party-reported figure as provisional until you’ve checked the current official document.
DU NEET PG Counselling Cutoff Trends
2025-cycle closing ranks give a workable sense of how competitive DU institutions run, though 2026 cutoffs will shift with that year’s applicant pool and percentile. These figures come from third-party counselling databases not official MCC/FMS allotment data, so treat them as directional rather than exact.
| College | Course | Category | Cycle | Closing Rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| UCMS | MD General Medicine | General | 2025, final round | 319 |
| UCMS | MS General Surgery | General | 2025, final round | 1,328 |
| MAMC | MD (various branches) | General | 2025, Round 1 | 60–92,521 range across branches |
| MAMC | MS (various branches) | General | 2025, Round 1 | 56–174,985 range across branches |
| MAMC | PG Diploma | All categories | 2025, Round 1 | 4,923 |
Radiodiagnosis, General Medicine, and General Surgery have generally closed at comparatively strong ranks at both MAMC and UCMS in recent cycles — but the exact cutoff varies significantly by category, quota, and round, so use this as a competitiveness signal rather than a prediction.
Fees
University Registration Fee (non-refundable, paid at FMS admission stage, per course): ₹2,000 for SC/ST/PwBD candidates, ₹3,000 for all other categories.
University Annual Fee (1st year): ₹19,500, covering tuition, student welfare fund, development fund, facilities charges, EWS support fund, and faculty management fee — currently marked “under review” by FMS.
Security Deposit at joining: ₹25,000, refundable on course completion or exit.
Bond & Surety Rules
Two distinct financial obligations apply, and they shouldn’t be confused with each other.
FMS Surety Bond (applies to all DUQ/AIQ admits at DU institutions): ₹10 lakh, executed with two sureties at the time of admission. It becomes payable if a candidate surrenders the seat outside MCC rules, leaves the course incomplete, or is terminated for unsatisfactory performance or misconduct. [Source: FMS Bulletin of Information 2026-27, Clause 7.4]
MAMC’s institute-specific service bond: Separately, MAMC introduced a one-year mandatory service bond for UG, PG, and Super-Specialty students admitted from the 2025-26 session, under a Delhi government notification. The bond requires one year of service at a Delhi government institution, with a penalty of roughly ₹15 lakh for UG and ₹20 lakh for PG/SS candidates who don’t serve. [Source: MAMC circular, 11 August 2025] Don’t assume this exact figure applies uniformly to every DU-affiliated institution — confirm the bond applicable to your allotted college and admission batch at reporting.

FAQs
Q1. Who conducts DU NEET PG counselling registration and process 2026?
MCC conducts counselling for both the 50% DUQ and 50% AIQ seats on mcc.nic.in; a single registration, not two. FMS, University of Delhi only handles admission formalities after MCC allots a seat.
Q2. Does DUQ require Delhi domicile?
No, DUQ eligibility is based on completing your final MBBS from the University of Delhi, not on domicile.
Q3. Is DU NEET PG counselling different from Delhi NEET PG counselling?
Delhi’s broader NEET PG counselling landscape includes GGSIPU-affiliated colleges like VMMC-Safdarjung and ABVIMS-RML alongside the University of Delhi’s own DUQ/AIQ structure — so “Delhi NEET PG” is the wider umbrella, and DU NEET PG counselling is the University of Delhi-specific portion of it.
Q4. Does AIIMS Delhi come under DU NEET PG counselling through MCC?
No, AIIMS Delhi runs its own INI-CET exam and admission process entirely outside NEET PG and DU counselling.
Q5. What documents does DU NEET PG counselling need?
NEET PG admit card and score card, MBBS degree or provisional certificate, internship completion certificate, medical council registration, category certificates where applicable, and after MCC allotment, the documents required for FMS admission registration.
Conclusion
DU NEET PG counselling runs through one authority: register once on mcc.nic.in for both DUQ and AIQ, then complete FMS admission formalities only after MCC allots you a seat. Don’t confuse DUQ with domicile, and don’t expect a separate FMSC counselling round — it doesn’t exist.
Keep official websites bookmarked, get your documents ready now, and lock your choices carefully once the 2026 schedule drops. Need help mapping your NEET PG rank against MAMC, LHMC, and UCMS realistically? Career Plan B’s counsellors can walk you through it.
