Hello aspirant,

In NEET PG counseling, the All India Quota (AIQ) counseling generally takes place before the state counseling. The typical sequence is as follows:

  1. All India Quota (AIQ) Counseling :

    • Conducted by the Medical Counseling Committee (MCC), the AIQ counseling includes 50% of the total seats from government medical colleges across India, central universities, deemed universities, and ESIC colleges.
    • The AIQ counseling usually begins first, and candidates who secure seats here can either accept them or opt for state counseling if they wish to try for a preferred seat in their home state.
  2. State Quota Counseling :

    • After the AIQ counseling rounds, each state conducts its own counseling process for the remaining 50% of the government seats and 100% of the seats in private medical colleges (excluding deemed universities, which participate in AIQ counseling).
    • State counseling is managed by the respective state authorities, and it typically starts after the first or second round of AIQ counseling is completed.

Key Points :

  • AIQ First : The AIQ counseling starts first, followed by state counseling.
  • Concurrent Rounds : In some cases, later rounds of AIQ counseling and state counseling might overlap or run concurrently, but the initial rounds of AIQ counseling generally begin first.

For NEET PG 2024, keep an eye on the official MCC website and your respective state’s counseling authority for precise dates and schedules.

Hope it helps !
