At MCMF, we simplify NEET PG for students and parents — so you can make correct decisions during PG admission after MBBS in India.

What is NEET PG?

NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test – Postgraduate) is the national-level exam used for admission into:

• MD (Doctor of Medicine)

• MS (Master of Surgery)

• PG Diploma / DNB seats (where applicable through counselling)

Your NEET PG score and rank decide which seats and colleges you can target in India under different counselling routes.

NEET PG Exam Authority & Role

NEET PG is conducted by the official exam authority, and the result is used by counselling authorities to allocate seats through:

• Central counselling

• State counselling

In simple words:

• Exam authority conducts the test and declares result/rank

• Counselling authorities use that rank to give seats

This is why students should focus on two things:

• NEET PG rank
• Counselling rules & deadlines

• All India Quota (AIQ) counselling

• State quota PG counselling

• Private/management quota PG admission

• NRI quota PG admission (in selected colleges)

A good rank gives more options, but even with an average rank, you can still get admission depending on:

• state eligibility

• quota choices

• college type (govt/private/deemed)

• correct counselling strategy
