So as per your query, YES you can provide the NEET PG application form with provisional certificate issued by the Medical Council of India. Further, if such certificate date had expired then it will stand as invalid and it might not be admitted by the authorities during the application and registration form.

can I apply for same college in aiq and state counselling in neet pg
Hello there,
Hope you are doing well,
As per the state counselling 50% seats are reserved for state quota in all the colleges. To apply under state quota you need to have a domicile for that particular state. If you have the domicile certificate then you are eligible for the 50% reserved seats. However you can apply for same college under AIQ as well as under state quota but I would recommend you to apply under state quota for the colleges that are in your state and apply for other colleges under AIQ (all india quota). This would make more sense and might help you to get admission easily.

My Son completed MBBS from BMCH Chitradurga affiliated by Rajiv Gandhi University Bangalore. he will appear in NEET PG to be held in March 2023. His interest in Respiratory Medicine ,if he fails to get required marks how much I need to pay for a good college in Bangalore.
Hello there,
Hope you are doing well,
For PG in respiratory medicine candidates needs to apply for 'MD in Pulmonology and respiratory medicine'. There are numerous colleges in india that offers this courses. However you have mentioned that candidate has already complicated UG from Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences so here are some colleges for MD in Pulmonology and Respiratory Medicine in Karnataka, you can check them out :
Kasturba Medical College, Manipal
MS Ramaiah Medical College, Bangalore
Vydehi Institute of Medical Science and Research Centre, Bangalore
JNMC, Belgaum
Raja Rajeshwari Medical College and Hospital, Banglore
To know more about these colleges read the article below,
For fees structure, if the candidate gets a seat in government college under government quota then fees would be around 7 lakhs to 8 lakhs per year. If candidate gets a seat in private college under government quota then the fees might be around 15-25 lakhs and for management quota seats fees can go above 35 lakhs as well.
However, I would like to tell you that the candidate is yet to appear for the exam and with an optimistic mindset you should help him prepare for good score in NEET PG.
