If you’re planning to study MBBS in Uttarakhand, AIIMS Rishikesh is the best government medical college in the state. It boasts top-level facilities, strong academics, and, most importantly, offers PG reservation for its own MBBS students. That means if you complete your MBBS there, you’ll get preference for PG (MD/MS) seats under institutional quota.

Next in line is the Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun. It is a well-established state government medical college and has started offering PG seats in various departments. The college is affiliated with HNB Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), which handles all state counselling and seat reservation.

Government Medical College, Haldwani, is also a reputed college offering both MBBS and PG courses. It has a good academic setup and hostel facilities. Then there is GMC Srinagar, a newer government college, which also offers PG courses and follows state PG reservation policies.

All state medical colleges in Uttarakhand reserve 50% PG seats for state quota candidates, which helps you if you are a resident or did your MBBS from there. AIIMS Rishikesh is slightly different, as it reserves PG seats internally for its own UG students.
