Write to counselling.amruhp@gmail.com. AMRU’s notice, number AMRU/(COE)-Admission-120/2026-27(MBBS/BDS)-4856 dated 27 August 2026, asks for any discrepancy in the merit to be reported by 5 pm on 28 August 2026. Send it now if you need to; the list moves on after that.
These are Himachal merit numbers, not NEET ranks
The allocation list carries a Merit No column and no All India Rank anywhere. Every figure in this article is an AMRU merit number from the Himachal MBBS/BDS list, running from 1 to 2,736. Compare one of these against a NEET All India Rank and you will draw the wrong conclusion. Find your Himachal merit number first, then read the tables.
Where the 948 seats went
683 MBBS and 265 BDS, across eleven institutions.
| College | Allotments |
|---|---|
| Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College, Kumarhatti, Solan | 123 |
| Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla | 102 |
| Dr Rajendra Prasad Govt Medical College, Tanda, Kangra | 102 |
| Dr Radhakrishnan Govt Medical College, Hamirpur | 98 |
| Dr Yashwant Singh Parmar Govt Medical College, Nahan | 97 |
| Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Govt Medical College, Chamba | 96 |
| Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences, Paonta Sahib | 95 |
| Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Govt Medical College, Ner Chowk | 65 |
| H.P. Government Dental College, Shimla | 58 |
| Himachal Dental College, Sundernagar | 56 |
| Bhojia Dental College and Hospital, Nalagarh | 56 |
By admission quota: HP Quota took 738 seats, Management Quota 188, NRI Quota 22.
The government MBBS ladder, in the general pool
These are HP Quota seats allotted in the General category, which is the pool most candidates are reading for.
| College | Best merit no. | Last merit no. |
|---|---|---|
| Indira Gandhi Medical College, Shimla | 1 | 76 |
| Dr Rajendra Prasad GMC, Tanda | 10 | 124 |
| SLBS GMC, Ner Chowk | 125 | 178 |
| Dr Radhakrishnan GMC, Hamirpur | 87 | 275 |
| Dr Y.S. Parmar GMC, Nahan | 209 | 361 |
| Pt J.L. Nehru GMC, Chamba | 281 | 426 |
| Maharishi Markandeshwar Medical College, Solan (private) | 443 | 636 |
The whole government MBBS general band closes inside the first 426 merit numbers. Shimla, Tanda and Ner Chowk fill in the first 178. That is a tight ladder, and small merit differences decide which district you spend five years in.
Dental closes much later
| Dental college | Best merit no. | Last merit no. |
|---|---|---|
| H.P. Government Dental College, Shimla | 433 | 661 |
| Himachal Dental College, Sundernagar | 630 | 872 |
| Bhojia Dental College, Nalagarh | 672 | 1,109 |
| Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences, Paonta Sahib | 695 | 1,303 |
89 candidates who applied under HP Quota were allotted management seats
827 candidates applied under HP Quota. 738 were admitted under it. The gap is not people losing seats: management admissions rose from 97 applications to 188 allotments, and 89 of those 188 came from candidates whose applied quota was HP Quota.
All 89 sit in the four private colleges: 39 at Maharishi Markandeshwar, 22 at Himachal Dental Sundernagar, 17 at Himachal Institute of Dental Sciences, 11 at Bhojia Dental. If you applied under HP Quota, a management seat at a private college is a live outcome for you, at management fees. Check the allotted quota column on your own row before you assume otherwise.
A Supreme Court order added one seat at Chamba
The notice records, separately from the allocation table, that the National Medical Commission created a supernumerary MBBS seat at Pt Jawahar Lal Nehru Government Medical College, Chamba, and that the seat was allotted to the petitioner. AMRU cites the Supreme Court order in Civil Appeal 2026 arising out of SLP (C) No. 18686 of 2023.
Nothing on this list is settled
AMRU’s own wording: the provisional allocation is “only indicative in nature and subject to change”, candidates “cannot claim any right over the allotted seat on the basis of provisional merit”, and it “cannot be challenged before the court of law”.
The notice also warns that a reserved category or quota claim survives only if the certificate is valid, current and in the format the prospectus specifies. An outdated or wrongly formatted certificate loses you the category benefit at verification, not at allotment. Get the paperwork corrected before you report.
Our Himachal cutoff pages carry closing ranks by college and category from earlier years, and the predictor works from your NEET rank. We covered the revised round 1 schedule earlier this month.
