Uttar Pradesh state MBBS counselling and MCC counselling need separate applications. First identify who handles the seat you want. A college being in Uttar Pradesh does not put every seat there under the state portal.
State seats and central seats use different routes
Use the UP NEET portal for state choices. For a government state seat, check that pool’s entry rules and fee. For a private seat, check its own rules.
MCC handles notified AIIMS, central and All India seats. Check the authority in the seat matrix before using a state registration receipt as proof that you can choose one of those seats.
Check the rule for your quota
Read the residence, schooling and category requirements for the seat you want. Write down the clause that covers you and the records it asks for.
A rule for a private seat may differ from the rule for a government state-quota seat. Confirm eligibility before budgeting with a lower fee row.
Check the security payment and nodal-centre instruction
Read the UP round notice for any security payment, verification and nodal-centre step. A nodal centre is the named place for an admission check. It may be different from the college you hope to join.
Keep proof of each required stage. If a document needs correction, use the process and deadline in the state instruction rather than assuming an email extends your time.
Official starting point: Directorate General of Medical Education and Training, Uttar Pradesh notices. Read the prospectus, round notice and any later correction together.
Uttar Pradesh MBBS seats in 2026–27
NMC’s MBBS list dated 18 September 2026 shows 49 government colleges with 5,700 MBBS places and 43 private colleges with 8,700 places: 14,400 places in 92 colleges. The count leaves out institutes of national importance such as AIIMS Gorakhpur and AIIMS Raebareli. These are yearly intake figures, not the seats left in the current round. See every college and its intake in our Uttar Pradesh MBBS college list.
Research the Uttar Pradesh campus before choices
Use the Uttar Pradesh college list for the dated intake and campus checks. For a Ghaziabad shortlist, keep Santosh’s MCC seat separate from UP state choices. For each private campus, ask which hostel and food charges are required. Compare the joining payment as well as later tuition before ranking the city.
With 92 colleges in this snapshot, reduce the list by route and budget before comparing cities. Add tuition periods and bond terms to the shortlist, then use the reporting checklist after an allotment.
Turn your shortlist into a choice list
- Match each college and course in your current options.
- Check the quota and category you qualify for.
- Read the fee and bond terms before adding the seat.
- Put acceptable seats in the order you prefer.
- Submit or lock choices as instructed, then save the final list.
Compare the UP college list with your actual options. Our seat-matrix guide helps you read the vacancy labels.
Keep three payments separate
Record the application fee, counselling security deposit and college tuition on separate rows. For each one, note the amount, deadline, receipt and any refund rule.
Add hostel, food and other required charges to the college budget. Read the service and exit bond terms before treating a seat as a backup.
Prepare documents for verification
Use the checklist in the current UPNEET notice. Keep school records, NEET records and identity proof together. Add the residence, category or other certificates your quota requires.
Check names, dates and scanned pages before submitting them. Keep originals and the required copies ready for the next step.
Disability (PwBD) seats: for All India Quota seats through MCC, your disability certificate must come from one of MCC’s designated centres. See our list of NEET PwBD certificate centres. For state quota seats, follow the certificate rule in the state’s own notice.
After an allotment
Download the letter and read the reporting window. Complete document checks, required payments and joining. Save the college record that confirms admission.
If you plan to leave or seek an upgrade, read the rule for your round first. Save the formal confirmation of any exit, as well as the original allotment letter.
Keep the round record with the college plan
Keep the UP security-payment receipt, nodal-centre record and college joining proof together. These can be separate tasks at separate places. Compare the full fee periods before using a private choice as a backup; the exit form may add terms beyond tuition.
