Hello,

Yes, it is not at all necessary to participate in All India Quota or AIQ Counseling to become eligible for state counseling.

If you feel you wouldn't get college with All India Quota Counseling you can opt not to appear in the Counseling. But you will have to appear for State Counseling to get seat in medical colleges.

For more information about the colleges you would be expecting for your NEET 2021 score you can click on the following link -

The college predictor gives you a detailed report of all the top colleges that you have a fair chance for getting admission in. And from this suggested colleges list you are in a better position to make right decision while filling the choices of colleges during the Counseling process.

Also check out the MBBS companion - It is helpful for the Counseling & Admission process with Webinar sessions along with the college prediction for All India, Central, Deemed & State counseling.
