MCC Rolls Out NEET UG 2025 Central Counselling: 11,698 Government MBBS Seats On Offer
Here’s something that’s sure to get aspiring doctors talking: the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has just published the seat matrix for NEET UG 2025 central counselling, and it features a whopping 11,698 government MBBS seats. These seats are spread out across various quotas and institutions, making it the biggest pool of centrally available government medical seats in India.
From the get-go, this seat matrix matters because it shapes the future of thousands of students each year. And this time, MCC’s list covers not only the familiar 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats from state government medical colleges, but also the full allotment from the country’s top-notch medical institutions and central universities.
Breakdown: Where Are These Seats Coming From?
Let’s get into the details. First up, the central universities and premier institutions. Every seat offered at AIIMS (All India Institute of Medical Sciences) — that’s every branch across the country — is up for grabs through MCC. So are all MBBS seats at JIPMER’s Puducherry and Karaikal branches. Expect a busy season for Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Aligarh Muslim University (AMU), and even Delhi University (DU), which has released 85% of state quota MBBS and BDS seats this year. Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (IPU) is contributing majorly as well, adding federally run hospitals and dental colleges like VMMC, ABVIMS, and ESIC’s dental wing into the mix.
Here’s a quick snapshot of the seat allocation this year:
- AIIMS: 100% MBBS seats open via MCC
- JIPMER: 100% seats at Puducherry and Karaikal campuses included
- BHU & AMU: All MBBS and BDS seats offered centrally
- Delhi University: 85% of state quota seats made available
- ESIC: 474 MBBS seats (federally employed staff’s children get first preference here)
- Jamia Millia Islamia: 100% dental faculty seats, with 5% reserved for internal quota
The star of the show, the All India Quota (15%), brings about 8,651 seats from government colleges (barring Jammu & Kashmir unless they decide to participate). Combined with 1,272 seats from the central universities and institutions above, this creates options across almost every major medical campus a candidate could want.
If you’re eyeing a place at AIIMS Delhi, BHU, or even ESIC Medical College, this is your window to get in through open competition — not just state quotas. And for students from states with lower local seat numbers, the central pool can be a real game-changer.
The seat matrix list was released right in time as students wrapped up their first round of registrations, which closed on July 28. Wannabe medicos have just finished filling in their choices, with Round 1 allotment results scheduled to go public by July 31. If you miss out in the first go, don’t panic — further rounds and even a stray vacancy round will follow, giving hopefuls more chances if someone else declines or seats stay vacant.
The full seat matrix is live on the MCC’s official site, where you can drill down by institution, quota, state, or reserved categories. Every number is out in the open: no guesswork, no surprises, just a clear picture of where the best shot may be for your dream medical college.
