Right after the announcement of the NEET UG 2026 results, the focus of lakhs of medical aspirants shifts to the counselling process. Candidates seeking admission to government MBBS and BDS colleges must understand the NEET state quota eligibility before registering for counselling. While the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts counselling for the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats, the remaining 85% state quota seats are filled by individual state counselling authorities.
Each state has its own domicile, residence, nativity and educational eligibility criteria, making it essential for candidates to verify whether they qualify for their preferred state's counselling after NEET results. Check the state-wise NEET 2026 domicile rules and eligibility criteria below.
Under NEET UG counselling, government medical seats are divided into two categories mentioned below. While the eligibility rules differ from state to state, most authorities consider factors such as domicile, years of schooling, permanent residence, nativity, or the service status of parents.
15% All India Quota (AIQ): Conducted by MCC, open to eligible candidates across India.
85% State Quota: Conducted by individual state counselling authorities for candidates meeting the state's domicile or residency requirements.
