Counselling calendar

The road ahead

AIQ (MCC) opens first — state counselling runs in parallel. Here is what comes when.

AIQ / MCC
15% seats
All India
State
85% govt seats
Your home state
AIQ rounds run first. State counselling starts slightly later and runs alongside. Both affect the same seat pool — which is why you need to track both at once.
AIQ / MCC Track
State counselling · runs in parallel
State counselling for 85% of government seats. Rounds often overlap with AIQ — both decisions can land on the same week. Timelines vary by state; the estimates below reflect the typical All-India pattern for most states.
