MOCK COUNSELLING IN ARUNACHAL PRADESH
A student picked their 3rd preference thinking they’d upgrade in Round 2. Round 2 came — their 1st preference had already filled. The preference order you submit is the order you live with.

TRIHMS
TRIHMS Itanagar functions like a mini-AIIMS — autonomous, separate from NEET state counselling
TRIHMS (Tomo Riba Institute) has its own selection mechanism. It's NOT routed through standard state counselling. Candidates targeting TRIHMS need to check TRIHMS-specific admission criteria separately.
ST
Scheduled Tribe reservation covers the majority of Arunachal's population — state quota is ST-dominated
Arunachal Pradesh has over 100 recognised tribes. ST reservation in state quota is substantial. Non-tribal candidates have very limited state quota access — AIQ (15%) is effectively the only route for most.
AIQ
For non-Arunachal candidates, AIQ (15% MCC) is the only practical entry point
There are very few MBBS seats in Arunachal. Non-domicile students virtually have no state quota path. The 15% AIQ seats at TRIHMS are the primary target for outsiders.
PRC
Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) is the domicile proof — and it's strictly verified
Arunachal's PRC requirement is among the strictest in India. Candidates without a valid PRC cannot access state quota. Verification happens at the institute level, not just at counselling.

100 Seats — Two Routes Only
Overview

100 Seats — Two Routes Only

The official 2025-26 TRIHMS prospectus (Govt. Order DMETR-16001/04/2021, dated 20 Jun 2025) defines only two admission categories.

85
APST — state quota
15
MCC AIQ (15%)
No NRI quota. No management seats. No non-APST state seats.
The 2025-26 TRIHMS official prospectus allocates 85% exclusively to APST (Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe) candidates and 15% to MCC AIQ. There is no NRI quota, no management quota, and no separate non-APST state category. If you are not APST, MCC AIQ (15 seats) is your only option at TRIHMS.
APST State Quota — 85 seats
APST domicile required. Conducted by DMET AP (dmetrap.in). 85 seats are exclusively for Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe candidates. PwBD horizontal reservation: 5% out of the 85 APST seats (i.e., ~4 PwBD seats, APST only). Selection based solely on NEET UG score within APST category.
MCC AIQ — 15 seats
Open to all India. All-India Quota via MCC at mcc.nic.in. No domicile restriction. The only route for non-APST candidates. 2025 allotment data reflects pre-expansion (7 AIQ seats, 50-seat year) — 2026 will have 15 seats. UR closing rank ~25,813 (2025). Categories: OBC, SC, ST, EWS, UR.
Seat expansion: 50 → 100 (NMC LOP, AY 2024-25)
NMC granted Letter of Permission for 100 seats effective AY 2024-25. MCC 2025 allotment data on this page reflects the old 50-seat year (7 AIQ seats). The 2025-26 prospectus confirms 100 seats with 15 AIQ. Expect the 2026 MCC seat matrix to show 15 AIQ seats; AIR ranks may ease slightly but TRIHMS remains competitive as the only college in the state.

Domicile Rules
Domicile

Domicile Rules

APST — Arunachal Pradesh Scheduled Tribe
Candidates belonging to any Scheduled Tribe notified for Arunachal Pradesh. All 85 state seats are reserved for APST. Community Certificate (APST) issued by District Administration is mandatory. Fabricating a community certificate results in expulsion and criminal proceedings.
Non-APST candidates
No state quota route. The 2025-26 prospectus has no non-APST state category. The only option is MCC AIQ (15 seats). In 2025 (50-seat year, 7 AIQ seats), UR AIQ closing rank was ~25,813 across R1–R3.
Domicile certificate
Permanent Residential Certificate (PRC) issued by District Administration. Required for state quota along with APST community certificate. NEET UG score, PRC, and community certificate together determine state quota eligibility.
MCC AIQ — no domicile restriction
15 seats open to any NEET UG candidate in India. No AP domicile required. Register separately on mcc.nic.in. Competitive: only college in the state, but remote NE location reduces demand vs other govt colleges at similar AIR.

MCC AIQ Closing Ranks
MCC AIQ

MCC AIQ Closing Ranks

15 seats via MCC counselling (mcc.nic.in) from 2026. Below: 2025 allotment data (7-seat year, 50 total seats). Use as a directional reference — 2026 may see slight easing with 15 AIQ seats.

RoundUR OpeningUR ClosingAllotted
Round 1 16,880 19,272 6
Round 2 23,166 23,910 6
Round 3 23,450 25,813 5

UR = Unreserved/Open. All ranks are NEET UG AIR. Data from MCC allotment 2025 (7-seat, 50-seat year). In 2026 (100-seat year, 15 AIQ seats), ranks may ease but TRIHMS’s remote location and small seat count keep competition high.

UR 19,272 6
OBC 21,275 5

SC/ST AIQ closing ranks are high AIR numbers (~98K–136K) as tribal candidates from across India use these seats. OBC closing rank ~26K — slightly above UR in this data.

State Quota 2025 Outcomes
2025 Data

State Quota 2025 Outcomes

What actually happened at TRIHMS in the 2025 AP State counselling round (50-seat year).

CategorySeats (2025)Outcome
APST (Cat I — TRIHMS) ~32 19 filled in state R2. Opening AIR 1,27,741 — closing AIR 2,15,638. Top APST candidates (AIR 23K–127K) had already exited to MCC AIQ.
Non-APST (Cat II) — 0 placed. All 24 eligible non-APST candidates got “Choice Not Available”. Consistent with 2025-26 prospectus which has no non-APST state category.
MCC AIQ (UR) ~6 Opening 16,880 — closing 25,813 across R1–R3. OBC closing ~25,985. SC/ST closing ~1,36,445.
Key insight for non-APST candidates: There is no path to TRIHMS via state counselling if you are not APST. The prospectus allocates 85% exclusively to APST with zero non-APST state seats. MCC AIQ (15 seats in 2026) is your only route. APST candidates with AIR ~2.1L still get seats through state quota; non-APST candidates need AIR ~25,800 to clear AIQ.
