Which counselling process covers these seats?
The Directorate of Medical Education, Manipur uses the state’s medical e-counselling process for its notified seats. However, do not treat the entire annual intake at RIMS, JNIMS, Government Medical College Churachandpur or Shija Academy as Manipur state-quota seats. Colleges can have different seat categories and admission authorities. Only the round-specific allotment matrix confirms which seats you may select.
For the difference between MCC and state counselling, check the seat type shown against each choice. Register separately for each process you need. Before locking a private-college choice, confirm the seat code and vacancy type, fee amount, deposit and the consequences of not joining.
How to use this Manipur college list
Start with your NEET scorecard and the category you can claim. Check the current state merit list, your eligibility documents, the seat matrix and the college joining notice. Keep the current fee letter and applicable bond terms with your files. For Shija Academy, distinguish the state, management and NRI routes if offered in the round. Their fees and entry conditions need not be the same.
After an allotment, use the MBBS reporting checklist to prepare originals, payment proof and the admission letter. This article is a college-intake reference, not a live vacancy list.
Common questions
The September 2026 NMC intake matrix lists three government-classified colleges with 400 MBBS seats.
No such inference follows from the NMC figure. Its 150 approved places are total college intake; check the relevant authority’s quota split.
Follow the counselling process specified for the seat category. A place in an NMC-approved college list does not authorize direct admission outside the notified process.
