Why Goa is Different

Single College State
Goa Medical College is the only MBBS college in the state. 200 seats, all government. No private colleges, no deemed universities. Simple counselling.
Affordable Government Fees
Fee: ₹1.4L/yr. Total 4.5-year cost: ₹6.3L. Affordable for a coastal state government college.
State + MCC AIQ
85% seats through Goa state counselling via DTE Goa. 15% through MCC AIQ (open to all India). Non-domicile can only access AIQ seats.
Eligibility & Categories

Who Can Apply

180 MBBS seats at GMC Bambolim, distributed across multiple categories.

Eligibility
Indian national, valid NEET UG score, HSSC passed. Local Applicants (LA) = passed HSSC from Goa. Outside Goa Applicants (OGA) eligible for limited categories. Must apply through DTE Goa prospectus.
Categories (Goa-specific)
SC (2%), ST (12%), OBC, CSP (3%) (children of central/state govt employees), ESM (1%) (ex-servicemen), NRI (up to 5%), GN (Goan Natives), EWS, FF (Freedom Fighters), PwD. Open/General is the largest pool.
Key Difference: ST at 12%
Goa reserves 12% for ST — much higher than many states. SC is only 2%. This reflects Goa's demographic composition. Total reservation stays under 50% as per SCI directives.
