The MCC portal displays a notice stating that the seat matrix from the National Medical Commission (NMC) and the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) is awaited for the commencement of PG counselling. Candidates should verify the latest portal notices and the status of individual seat matrices before making counselling decisions.
What Details Are Available in the Central Internal Quota Seat Matrix?
The 22-page PDF contains several fields that help candidates identify individual postgraduate medical seats.
- State name: Identifies the state associated with the institution.
- Institute type: Indicates the category of institution.
- Institute: Names the college or hospital offering the listed seat.
- Quota: Specifies the quota under which the seat is listed.
- Branch: Identifies the postgraduate medical speciality, such as Anaesthesiology, General Medicine, General Surgery or Paediatrics.
- Category: Shows the category code associated with the seat.
- Total seats: Indicates the number of seats listed for that particular entry.
For example, the document includes entries for Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital in New Delhi under IP University Quota. It lists specialities such as Anaesthesiology, General Medicine, General Surgery and Paediatrics, with seat counts broken down by category.
Candidates should read each entry carefully. A row represents a specific combination of institution, quota, speciality and category; it should not automatically be interpreted as the total intake for an entire department or institution.
How to Download the NEET PG Counselling 2026 Seat Matrix
Candidates can follow these steps to access the relevant documents:
- Visit the official MCC PG Medical Counselling website.
- Open the latest notices or seat matrix section.
- Find the relevant category, such as Central Internal Quota, DNB PG, Deemed University or AIQ.
- Open the corresponding PDF.
- Verify the document title, counselling year, institute name, speciality and quota.
- Download and save the file for reference while preparing counselling choices.
Candidates should check for revised documents before locking their choices. An older PDF may not reflect subsequent changes to the available seats.
What Should Candidates Check Before Choice Filling?
A seat appearing in the matrix does not automatically mean that every NEET PG-qualified candidate is eligible to apply for it. Candidates should verify the eligibility conditions for the relevant quota, course and institution. They should also check the counselling schedule, choice-filling deadlines, applicable category requirements and the latest official instructions. MCC conducts counselling for 50% of All India Quota postgraduate medical seats and specified institutional and university categories, including Deemed Universities, subject to the applicable rules.
The seat matrix is a reference document, not a guarantee of admission. Final allotment depends on eligibility, merit, candidate preferences, seat availability and the counselling rules applicable to the candidate.
Conclusion
The Central Internal Quota seat matrix gives NEET PG candidates an institute-wise view of MD/MS seats, including speciality and category details. Before filling in their choices for NEET PG Counselling 2026, candidates should review the relevant PDF, confirm their eligibility for the applicable quota and check the MCC portal for updated notices or revised seat matrices.
Since the MCC portal has indicated that the NMC and NBEMS seat matrix is awaited for the commencement of counselling, candidates should distinguish between the availability of an individual document and confirmation that the counselling process has begun.
