Delhi NEET PG Counselling Rounds
Delhi NEET PG Counselling is conducted in multiple rounds to make sure every available seat gets filled and no candidate is left without a fair shot.
- Round 1: Open to all eligible candidates on the merit list. Requires fresh registration, choice filling, and fee payment.
- Round 2: Open to candidates who didn’t get a seat in Round 1, as well as those who want to upgrade their allotted seat. Already-registered candidates don’t need to register again, but they do need to fill fresh choices.
- Mop-Up Round: Conducted for seats that remain vacant after Round 2. Only candidates who haven’t secured a seat, or haven’t joined one, are eligible.
- Stray Vacancy Round: The final round, held for whatever seats are still vacant after the mop-up round. No fresh registrations are accepted here – only previously registered, unallotted candidates can participate, and reporting is usually done directly at the college/institute level.
Each round narrows the field, so if you don’t get a seat matching your preference in Round 1, don’t panic – your NEET PG rank still holds value in the rounds that follow.
Delhi NEET PG Counselling Expected Cut off 2026
Delhi NEET PG 2026 cutoff will be announced after the exam on 30 August 2026. The following figures are indicative and based on previous years.
| Category/College | Expected Cutoff (Rank/Percentile) |

NEET PG 2026 Counselling Registration Fees
The registration fee is a one-time, non-refundable charge you pay to participate in a given round. Based on the applicable MCC and FMS fee structures for NEET PG counselling:
| Quota/Category | Registration Fee |
|---|---|
| MCC – AIQ (General/OBC) | ₹1,000 |
| MCC – AIQ (SC/ST/PwBD) | ₹500 |
| MCC – Deemed Universities (All Categories) | ₹5,000 |
| FMS Delhi – State Quota (Common Fee for All Categories) | As notified by FMS for the current cycle |
Fees are paid entirely online through net banking, debit card, or credit card. Since this fee is non-refundable, double-check your category and quota selection before making the payment to avoid having to pay it again.
Delhi NEET PG Counselling Eligibility Criteria
Before you register, make sure you meet these Eligibility Criteria. Missing even one can get your candidature rejected at the verification stage, no matter how strong your NEET PG rank is.
- Qualified NEET PG: You must have a valid NEET PG rank and score, at or above the qualifying percentile set by the National Board of Examinations (NBE) for your category.
- MBBS degree: A recognised MBBS degree from a college approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC).
- Completed internship: You must have completed (or be about to complete, as per the cut off date notified) a one-year compulsory rotatory internship.
- Medical registration: A valid permanent or provisional registration with the NMC or a State Medical Council. Without this, you cannot be granted admission even after seat allotment.
- Domicile (for state quota only): For Delhi’s 50% state quota seats, candidates typically need to have passed MBBS from a Delhi University-affiliated college, or meet residency criteria tied to parents’ domicile or government service in Delhi. The 50% AIQ seats are open to all eligible candidates across India, regardless of domicile.
- Category certificates: Candidates claiming reservation (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD) must hold valid certificates issued by a competent authority.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify for the state quota or only the All India Quota, it’s worth checking your college’s affiliation and your domicile status early – this affects which portal you register on.
Note that AIIMS New Delhi is not part of this MCC/FMS counselling for MD/MS – AIIMS conducts its own separate INI-CET counselling for its PG seats.
NEET PG Counselling Security Deposit
Unlike the registration fee, the security deposit is refundable under specific conditions – mainly if you don’t get allotted a seat, or if you resign from an allotted seat within the permitted window as per MCC/FMS norms.
| Category | Security Deposit |
|---|---|
| General | ₹25,000 |
| SC/ST/OBC | ₹10,000 |
| Deemed Universities (All Categories) | ₹2,00,000 |
If you’re allotted a seat and choose not to join, or you join and then leave without following the proper resignation process, this deposit is typically forfeited. Always check the current official notification for the exact amount before your counselling cycle, since figures are revised periodically.
Delhi PG Stipend for MD/MS/Diploma Residents (2026)
Delhi PG stipend for MD/MS and Diploma residents at government medical colleges typically ranges from about ₹56,000 to ₹1.28 lakh per month, depending on the institute, specialty, and year of residency. DU-affiliated colleges (MAMC, UCMS) and IPU-affiliated colleges (VMMC & Safdarjung, ABVIMS-RML) generally pay comparable stipends in the ₹1.10-1.28 lakh range, while Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) pays a noticeably lower stipend of roughly ₹56,000-60,000 per month. Stipend orders are revised periodically (usually with dearness allowance hikes), so treat the table below as indicative rather than the exact current rate.
| Institute | Approx. Monthly Stipend (Year 1) | Approx. Monthly Stipend (Year 3) |
|---|---|---|
| Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) | ₹1.10 – 1.20 lakh | ₹1.16 – 1.28 lakh |
| University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) / GTB Hospital | ₹1.15 – 1.21 lakh | ₹1.21 – 1.28 lakh |
| Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) | ₹56,000 – 56,100 | ₹59,500 – 60,000 |
| VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital | ₹1.20 – 1.21 lakh | ₹1.27 – 1.28 lakh |
| ABVIMS & Dr. RML Hospital | ₹1.18 – 1.21 lakh | ₹1.27 – 1.28 lakh |
| ESI PGIMSR (ESIC Hospital) | ₹1.10 – 1.17 lakh | ₹1.16 – 1.23 lakh |
These figures reflect the pattern followed in recent DGHS and institute-level resident stipend orders for MD/MS/Diploma residents and are revised periodically, so confirm the exact current rate with your allotted college before joining. Most Delhi government colleges also require an institutional service bond (commonly ₹2 lakh to ₹10 lakh, higher for deemed/ESIC seats) alongside this stipend – see our Delhi NEET PG Bond guide for the bond amount, service duration, and penalty applicable to your college.
Who conducts Delhi NEET PG Counselling

The Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS), University of Delhi conducts state-quota PG counselling for DU-affiliated colleges: Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS), and Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC). Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) separately conducts state-quota PG counselling for IPU-affiliated colleges: VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital and ABVIMS & Dr. RML Hospital. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts counselling for the 50% All India Quota seats across all Delhi government colleges. Always confirm your target college’s affiliation before registering, since applying on the wrong portal is a common and avoidable mistake.

Note: Affiliation-based counselling arrangements can be revised by the authorities. Always cross-check the current notification for your target college before registering.
Delhi NEET PG Counselling Documents Required
Keep both originals and self-attested photocopies ready – verification is usually done in person, and incomplete documentation is one of the most common reasons candidates lose an allotted seat.
- NEET PG admit card and final scorecard
- MBBS degree certificate / provisional certificate
- Internship completion certificate
- Medical registration certificate (permanent or provisional) from NMC or State Medical Council
- Class 10 and 12 mark sheets and certificates
- MBBS mark sheets (all professional years)
- Photo ID proof (Aadhaar card, PAN card, or passport)
- Category certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS), if applicable
- PwBD certificate from an MCC-approved centre, if applicable
- Domicile proof or proof of MBBS study in Delhi (for state quota candidates)
- Passport-size photographs (recent, matching specifications)
- Counselling registration slip/receipt generated after fee payment
- Seat allotment letter
Any mismatch between your documents and the details entered during registration – like a name spelling difference – can cause verification issues, so it’s worth cross-checking everything against your NEET PG admit card before you go for reporting.
