NEET-UG

Know 4 Main Counseling Options to Secure a Seat After NEET UG 2025

More than 1.18 lakh MBBS and 26 thousand BDS Seats Available

The result of NEET UG 2025 has been released and this year about 12 lakh students have cleared the exam. Now the next important step is to choose the right counseling process, which plays a decisive role in admission to medical college.

Although students check their rank, many students are unable to decide which counseling is most suitable for them, and due to this confusion, many students are deprived of a seat despite being eligible.

Therefore, it is very important to move forward with the right strategy and information.

There are Four Major Types of Counselling After NEET in India

    • All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling – 15% seats
    • State Quota Counselling – 85% seats
    • Deemed University Counselling
    • Private/Management Quota or NRI Quota Counselling
