AIQ Counselling: A Complete Guide for NEET Aspirants
Mar 24, 2023

What is AIQ Counselling?
All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling is a centralized process conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to allocate 15% of seats in government medical colleges across India to eligible candidates, regardless of their home state. This system offers a valuable opportunity for NEET aspirants to secure admission in some of the country’s top medical institutions.
In addition to state government colleges, 100% of seats in Central Universities like AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU, and Delhi University are also included in AIQ Counselling, eliminating the need for separate admission processes.
How AIQ Seat Allocation Works
Each state contributes 15% of its government medical college seats to the AIQ pool. Let’s take an example:
- Suppose Uttar Pradesh has 30 government medical colleges, each offering 100 MBBS seats.
- The total government medical seats in the state would be 30 × 100 = 3,000.
- Under AIQ, 15% of these seats (450 seats) are made available for students across India.
This model applies to all states, ensuring a fair and transparent admission process for medical aspirants nationwide.
Who Conducts AIQ Counselling?
The MCC (Medical Counselling Committee), under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, is responsible for conducting AIQ Counselling. The counselling process covers:
- 15% of government medical college seats across all states.
- 100% of seats in Central Universities (AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU, etc.).
- 100% of seats in Deemed Universities and ESIC Medical Colleges.
