What does all India quota in NEET-UG mean?

Hi Ujjal,

The all India quota in NEET-PG

15% of seats in all the government medical colleges in India are filled through ALL INDIA QUOTA.Remaining 85% of the seats will be filled by the state counseling.

But few states are exempted from giving their share of 15% of seats in all their medical colleges. This provision has been given to them in

ARTICLE 371 D of Indian Constitution.

So if the state wants to opt out of ALL INDIA QUOTA . The students from the particular state will not be allowed to select a seat through the all India quota. So these states fills the seats in their medical colleges with NEET MARKS and they will be admitting students only from their state.

Effect : This blocks the student from choosing a government medical college in other state.

JAMMU & KASHMIR ,TELANGANA ,ANDRA PRADESH are the states allowed to use this Article 371D .

Some media's claimed that Andra and Telangana have agreed to go with All India quota. But no official news yet.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask me,

Thank you

Hello Ujjal,

15% all India Quota seats are open for All India candidates, It refers to the All India Quota, reserved for candidates from across the country for Government medical and dental colleges in all states. The 85% quota therefore refers to the State Quota, reserved for domiciles of a particular state for the seats offered by medical and dental colleges in that state.

Good Luck!
