Which MD specialities gained seats

For candidates comparing colleges, the intake for a preferred speciality matters more than a college-wide increase. The state reported the following speciality-level changes:

College	MD speciality	Earlier seats	Updated seats
GMC Aurangabad	Physiology	3	21
GMC Aurangabad	Biochemistry	2	17
GMC Aurangabad	Community Medicine	12	22
IGMC Nagpur	Pathology	4	15
GMC Kolhapur	Anaesthesiology	4	14

At Aurangabad, the increases in physiology and biochemistry alone account for 33 of the college's 73 additional seats. Other specialities that gained seats across Maharashtra include general medicine, paediatrics, radiodiagnosis, general surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology, and orthopaedics.

How NEET PG 2026 candidates should use these figures

The figures show how many students a college has approval to admit in each course. For example, Kolhapur's updated intake of 14 anaesthesiology seats means the college can admit 14 students in that course for the year.

When filling choices, candidates should:

Use the seat list for their specific counselling round to check which seats they can select.

Look for the college, speciality and quota together — not the college-wide total alone.

Remember that the number available in a particular round can differ from the college's approved annual intake.

NMC direction on the latest seat list

The National Medical Commission has directed counselling authorities to use its latest seat list and refer any differences to its Medical Assessment and Rating Board. For Maharashtra applicants, the state's college and course figures add detail to the national update issued on November 6, 2025.

What candidates should do next?

Track the official state counselling portal and the NMC seat list for the 2026–27 cycle.

Cross-check approved intake against round-wise seat availability before locking choices.

Prioritise speciality-level intake over college-level totals when ranking preferences.
