NEET counselling in Tripura — how it actually works for you.

NEET UG counselling in Tripura runs through two parallel routes: the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Tripura (DME Tripura) fills ~85% of government seats on a state-domicile rank, while MCC's All-India Quota (AIQ) fills ~15% on your all-India rank (AIR) — no domicile required. Agartala Government Medical College, Agartala closed near AIR 25,191 via AIQ but 76,994 via Tripura state quota in 2025 — two different ranks, one college. Domicile eligibility: Must be a permanent resident of Tripura with a valid domicile certificate from the District Magistrate. Tribal (ST) candidates of Tripura get reserved seats. Candidate must have passed Class 10 and 12 from a recognized board. Min age 17 at admission. Based on MCC / DME Tripura 2025 data — last year's pattern, not a 2026 guarantee.

About Tripura NEET UG counselling

Tripura conducts its own NEET UG MBBS admissions through the Directorate of Medical Education, Government of Tripura (DME Tripura). This is entirely separate from MCC's All India Quota (AIQ) process. AIQ handles approximately 15% of government seats and all deemed university seats across India, with no domicile requirement. Tripura's own counselling handles the remaining ~85% of government seats within the state, plus all private MBBS colleges. It runs across 3 rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round.

The key difference most candidates miss: your AIR (All India Rank) determines your AIQ position. Tripura's counselling runs on a separate state rank — in most states this is more accessible than AIQ for domicile candidates. For example, Agartala Government Medical College, Agartala closes at approximately 25,191 via AIQ, but 76,994 via Tripura state counselling.
