Common questions — Uttarakhand counselling

How does NEET UG counselling work in Uttarakhand?

Uttarakhand runs its own MBBS counselling through Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU). It covers ~85% of government seats and all private MBBS colleges across 4 rounds. Separate from MCC AIQ (which handles ~15% of govt seats).

What is the difference between AIQ and Uttarakhand state counselling?

About Uttarakhand NEET UG counselling

Uttarakhand conducts its own NEET UG MBBS admissions through the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU). 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. Uttarakhand's own counselling handles the remaining ~85% of government seats within the state, plus all private MBBS colleges. It runs across 4 rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round (Round 3), Stray Vacancy Round.

The key difference most candidates miss: your AIR (All India Rank) determines your AIQ position. Uttarakhand's counselling runs on a separate state rank — in most states this is more accessible than AIQ for domicile candidates. For example, Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali Govt. Medical Sc. & Research Instt, Srinagar, Pauri closes at approximately 16,097 via AIQ, but 39,124 via Uttarakhand state counselling.

Bond: Uttarakhand requires a rural service bond of ₹0.5L (Mandatory state service — duration unverified, per GO 837/XXVIII(1)/19-19(es0dk0)/2015 dated 26.06.2019) for government MBBS seats. The penalty for breaking the bond is Unverified — per GO 837/XXVIII(1)/19-19(es0dk0)/2015 dated 26.06.2019. Bond is optional, available only at VCSG Srinagar and SSJ Almora. Students who sign the service bond (अनिवार्य राजकीय सेवा) pay ₹50,000/yr tuition; non-bonded students at all 5 govt colleges pay ₹1,45,000/yr. Doon Medical, Haldwani, Haridwar: non-bonded only. AIQ students not eligible for bond subsidy. Bond penalty/duration per GO 837/XXVIII(1)/19-19(es0dk0)/2015 — unverified.
