NEET PG 2026 Round 1: Key allotment figures

The supplied Round 1 analysis reports the following figures. Vacancy totals and the last allotted rank require reconciliation with the official allotment and vacancy documents.

The allotment count is consistent with published reporting on the Round 1 result. The remaining figures should be treated as source-reported analysis until their underlying official datasets and calculation methods are verified.

NEET PG 2026 AIQ government MD/MS closing ranks

The supplied analysis lists the following Open-category closing ranks for selected MD and MS courses under the All India Quota (AIQ).

These figures represent the selected Open-category closing ranks supplied for this analysis. They are not a complete cutoff list for all colleges, courses, quotas or reservation categories. A closing rank indicates the rank of the last allotted candidate for a particular course, quota and seat category in the relevant allotment round. It should not be interpreted as a universal cutoff for every college offering that specialty. Candidates should compare their own rank with the relevant college-level allotment data and category before drawing conclusions about their admission prospects.

NEET PG 2026 DNB closing ranks

The supplied analysis also reports the following closing ranks for selected DNB specialties.

These figures should be checked against the final DNB allotment data and the applicable seat category before being treated as official cutoffs. Candidates comparing DNB with MD/MS options should consider the institution, training structure, fees, recognition and career requirements in addition to closing rank. Rank comparisons are meaningful only when the relevant course and seat categories are identified correctly.

Deemed University NEET PG 2026 closing ranks and fees

The supplied analysis gives the following merit-quota closing ranks for selected specialties at Deemed Universities.

The source also reports annual tuition fees ranging from ₹12 lakh to ₹85 lakh, based on 2026–27 college notices. This range requires verification against the relevant institutions' official fee notifications before publication. Deemed University fees can differ substantially by institution, specialty and seat category. Candidates should consult the official fee notice for their preferred college and confirm the total financial commitment, including any applicable additional charges, before accepting a seat. A later closing rank does not, by itself, mean that a course or institution is the better choice. Applicants should consider affordability, clinical exposure, location, training quality and long-term career goals.

Vacant seats after NEET PG Round 1: What candidates should know

The supplied analysis reports 2,985 unfilled seats after Round 1, with a substantial share attributed to Deemed Universities. It also reports that 805 of 1,005 Deemed NRI seats remain vacant. These figures must be verified against the official vacancy matrix for the relevant counselling stage. Vacancies can be relevant to subsequent counselling, but they do not guarantee that a particular candidate will receive a seat in Round 2. The seats available to an applicant depend on the applicable counselling rules, eligibility, choices, category, quota and the official seat matrix for that round.

Candidates should monitor the MCC portal for:

• The latest counselling schedule and notices.
• The relevant vacancy or seat matrix.
• Choice-filling and choice-locking instructions.
• Rules for retaining, upgrading or surrendering an allotted seat.
• Reporting requirements and admission deadlines.

Do not assume that a seat shown as vacant in an earlier document will remain available in a later round.

NEET PG 2026 Round 1 reporting and next steps

Candidates who received a Round 1 allotment should check the final result, allotment letter and applicable reporting instructions immediately. Published counselling coverage lists October 26 to November 2, 2026, as the Round 1 college-reporting window. Candidates should confirm the applicable deadline and any subsequent amendments on the official MCC portal before travelling or completing admission formalities. Before reporting, candidates should review the official document requirements and confirm the process with their allotted institution. 

Depending on the applicable rules and the candidate's circumstances, documents may include NEET PG examination and allotment records, identity and academic certificates, internship completion evidence, registration documents and applicable category or eligibility certificates. This is a general preparation checklist, not an exhaustive official document list. The final requirements must be taken from the current MCC instructions and the allotted college.

What Round 1 closing ranks mean for Round 2

Round 1 closing ranks are useful for understanding how far allotments extended in the first round. They cannot reliably predict the closing rank for a later round because seat availability, candidate choices, upgrades, withdrawals and the applicable counselling rules can change the outcome. Candidates should use the published ranks as historical reference points, not as a guarantee of admission. 

Before revising their preferences, they should compare their rank with the relevant course, college, quota and category data, then review the official rules governing their existing allotment and participation in subsequent rounds. For the latest updates, consult the official MCC PG counselling portal and its current notices.
