  • Madhya Pradesh NEET UG 2026 Round 1 merit list released

    By Ashok Hegde, Founder, neet2seat.com

    The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Madhya Pradesh has released the NEET UG 2026 Round 1 state merit list for MBBS and BDS admission. If you registered for MP state counselling, you can now check your Madhya Pradesh state rank, which decides your position for Round 1 seat allotment.

    The merit list ranks all eligible MP candidates by their NEET UG 2026 score. For each candidate it shows the MP state rank, the NEET UG 2026 all-India rank, the eligible category, domicile status, percentile and score out of 720. Your MP state rank, not your all-India rank, is what matters for state-quota seats.

    How to read your rank

    • Find your name or roll number and note your MP state rank and the category you have been listed under.
    • Check that your category and domicile status are shown correctly. If something is wrong, raise it through the grievance process in the counselling schedule before choice filling closes.
    • A lower state rank means an earlier turn in Round 1 allotment.

  • Tamil Nadu NEET UG 2026: special-category allotments out

    By Ashok Hegde, Founder, neet2seat.com

    Tamil Nadu has begun its NEET UG 2026 MBBS and BDS counselling. The Selection Committee has published the first provisional allotment lists, and they cover the special reservation categories. The lists went up on the official site on 14 August 2026; the allotment itself is dated 13 August 2026.

    Four lists are out. In all, 746 candidates have been given a provisional seat in a government medical or dental college.

    What was released

    • 7.5% government-school quota: 614 candidates, across 81 medical and dental colleges. This quota is for students who studied Classes 6 to 12 in a Tamil Nadu government school.
    • Persons with Disability (PWD): 106 candidates.
    • Eminent Sports Person: 15 candidates.
    • Children of Ex-Servicemen: 11 candidates.

    Each list shows the candidate’s state merit rank, application number, name, community and the college allotted. The 7.5% list also shows the total marks. These are seats in the Tamil Nadu government counselling stream, which is separate from the all-India quota run by the MCC. If you want to see how these ranks compare with last year, our page on Tamil Nadu MBBS closing ranks and the matching BDS closing ranks lay out the numbers college by college.

    Please read: these are provisional

    A provisional allotment is not a confirmed seat. The Selection Committee can revise the list, and you still have to complete the next steps before the seat is yours. Do not stop your other options on the strength of a provisional line. The general merit rounds of Tamil Nadu counselling, which fill the bulk of the seats, come after this special-category step.

    What to do now

    • Open the correct list below and search for your application number or rank.
    • If your name is there, log in to the official portal and download your allotment order when it is issued.
    • Watch the portal for the reporting and joining dates, and for any grievance window on the provisional list.
    • Keep your certificates ready — NEET score card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, community certificate, and the special-category proof (government-school study, disability, sports, or ex-serviceman certificate).

    Not sure where your rank stands, or planning for the general rounds? Our free NEET college predictor and the Tamil Nadu counselling guide walk you through the choices step by step.

  • Rajasthan NEET UG 2026: Round 1 Seat Matrix Released

    By Sahil Kakad

    Rajasthan has released the Round 1 seat matrix for NEET UG 2026 medical and dental counselling. The matrix lists 7,433 MBBS seats and 1,536 BDS seats in the state-quota counselling — the pool candidates fill choices for in the first round.

    The counselling is run by the Office of the Chairman, NEET UG Medical & Dental Admission and Counselling Board 2026, based at SMS Medical College, Jaipur. These are state-quota seats only; the 15% All India Quota in the government colleges is counselled separately by the MCC.

    MBBS seats — 7,433 across 51 colleges

    • Government seats: 2,274, across 33 government medical colleges
    • RUHS CMS and RAJMES management seats: 991
    • Private colleges (general): 3,252, across 18 private medical colleges
    • Private colleges (management): 448
    • NRI seats: 468

    BDS seats — 1,536 across 17 colleges

    • Government seats: 86, across 2 government dental colleges
    • Private colleges (general): 1,270, across 15 private dental colleges
    • Private colleges (management): 180

    The matrix breaks every college down by category — unreserved, EWS, MBC, OBC, SC, ST and the Sahariya area quota — so you can see how many seats fall in your category at each college before you lock your choices.

    What the seat matrix is for

    A Round 1 seat matrix is the official count of seats on offer in the first round, and it usually comes just before choice filling opens. It does not by itself carry the registration dates or fees, so check the portal for the schedule. The seat numbers can also shift a little between rounds as colleges are added or fresh seats are approved.

    What to do now

    • Watch the ug.neetrajasthan.com portal for the Round 1 registration and choice-filling dates.
    • Match your category’s seat count in the matrix against last year’s closing ranks so you know which colleges are realistic. Our Rajasthan MBBS closing ranks and BDS closing ranks pages show where each college closed in earlier rounds.
    • Read the Rajasthan counselling guide to understand freezing, floating and how the rounds work.
    • Not sure where your rank stands? Run it through our free NEET rank predictor to see your likely colleges before you fill choices.

  • West Bengal NEET UG 2026: 48 Colleges in Counselling List

    By Sahil Kakad

    West Bengal has published the list of institutes that will take part in NEET UG 2026 medical and dental counselling. The list names 48 colleges in all — both MBBS and BDS — and it is the first firm sign that state counselling for 2026 is about to begin.

    The counselling is run by the West Bengal Medical Counselling Committee (WBMCC). If a college is not on this list, you cannot be allotted a seat there through the state process, so it is worth checking the list carefully before you fill choices.

    Who is on the list

    The 48 institutes split into two broad groups by ownership:

    • 28 government institutes — this includes the older, well-known colleges such as Medical College Kolkata, R.G. Kar Medical College, Nil Ratan Sircar Medical College, Calcutta National Medical College, IPGMER Kolkata, Bankura Sammilani, Burdwan Medical College and North Bengal Medical College, along with the newer district government colleges. One is a central government college, ESI-PGIMSR and ESIC Medical College at Joka, Kolkata.
    • 20 private institutes — private medical and dental colleges spread across Durgapur, Haldia, Kolkata, Nadia, Howrah and other districts.

    By course, 41 institutes offer MBBS and 7 offer BDS. The seven dental colleges are Guru Nanak Institute of Dental Sciences, Haldia Institute of Dental Sciences, Kusum Devi Sunderlal Dugar Jain Dental College and Sanaka Institute of Dental Sciences (private), and Burdwan Dental College, Dr. R. Ahmed Dental College and North Bengal Dental College (government).

    What the list does not tell you yet

    This document is only the participating institute list. It does not carry the registration dates, the fee schedule or the round-wise schedule. Those come in a separate notice on the WBMCC portal, so treat this as your cue to get your documents ready, not as the start of registration.
