NEET counselling in Delhi — how it actually works for you.
NEET UG counselling in Delhi runs through two parallel routes: the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMSC), University of Delhi + Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) (FMSC / GGSIPU) fills ~85% of government seats on a state-domicile rank, while MCC's All-India Quota (AIQ) fills ~15% on your all-India rank (AIR) — no domicile required. Government seats carry a ₹0.0L · 1 yr rural-service bond. Domicile eligibility: Must have completed Class 11 and 12 from a recognized school in Delhi — no separate domicile certificate needed. School completion is the eligibility criterion for 85% state quota. Private colleges (HAHC, APC) have limited management quota. Based on MCC / FMSC / GGSIPU 2025 data — last year's pattern, not a 2026 guarantee.

About Delhi NEET UG counselling
Delhi conducts its own NEET UG MBBS admissions through the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMSC), University of Delhi + Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) (FMSC / GGSIPU). This is entirely separate from MCC's All India Quota (AIQ) process. AIQ handles approximately 15% of government seats and all deemed university seats across India, with no domicile requirement. Delhi's own counselling handles the remaining ~85% of government seats within the state, plus all private MBBS colleges. It runs across 4 rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round (Round 3), Stray Vacancy Round (Offline).
The key difference most candidates miss: your AIR (All India Rank) determines your AIQ position. Delhi's counselling runs on a separate state rank — in most states this is more accessible than AIQ for domicile candidates.
