NEET PG 2025
2
Only 2 state govt colleges for UK PG state counselling — GMC Haldwani + VCSGGIMS Shrinagar
Uttarakhand's state PG infrastructure is minimal. Two government medical colleges cover all state counselling seats. Total seats: approximately 80 across both institutions. — Formity's review of UKMSSB 2025 data.
3yr
Bond: 2yr service in the hill districts of Uttarakhand; ₹2.5Cr penalty
Uttarakhand's 3-year rural bond is the longest in North/Central India. Hill district postings can be significantly remote. Candidates accepting UK PG seats should plan for 3 years in assigned districts — Pithoragarh, Chamoli, Uttarkashi etc.
≠AIIMS
AIIMS Rishikesh admits PG through INI-CET, a separate exam — not NEET PG, and not Uttarakhand state counselling
AIIMS Rishikesh is an MCC institution. Despite being geographically in Uttarakhand, planning for AIIMS Rishikesh PG requires MCC registration — entirely separate from UKMSSB state counselling. A common planning error.
80
~80 total PG seats in UK state counselling — domicile candidates compete in a small pool
With 80 seats total, Uttarakhand state counselling is among India's smallest. UK domicile candidates who miss these 80 seats are entirely dependent on MCC AIQ for further options. Know your fallback plan before UK state round outcomes.

How counselling works for you

You are in 2 counselling processes.

  • MCC — All India Quota, DNB and NBE seats, every deemed seat. About half the seats.
  • Your state — its own state-quota seats. About the other half.

Separate registration for each. Separate dates. Separate fee.

In Uttarakhand, Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU) holds your state seats — 4 rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round (Round 3), Stray Vacancy Round).

The steps, in order:

  1. Registration — pay the fee, create your account on the portal (MCC or your state’s).
  2. Choice filling — you rank every seat you would actually join, in the order you want it.
  3. Lock — choices close at a fixed deadline; the list is frozen, no more edits or reordering after.
  4. Allotment — the system goes straight down your list and gives you the first seat still open at your rank.
  5. Freeze or Float — accept and stop (Freeze), or stay in line for something higher while your current seat is held (Float).
  6. Report + deposit — verify documents, pay the seat deposit.
  7. Later rounds — Round 2, Round 3 (mop-up), and a stray-vacancy round fill what is left; floating carries you into the next round automatically.
  8. Upgrade / exit — you can move up in a later round, or step away — but only Round 1 lets you leave without losing the deposit.

2026 change on MCC seats: After each allotment you now choose Freeze or Float. Freeze = accept and stop: you report once at the allotted college for document verification and fee, and you’re done. Float = accept but stay in line for a higher choice: under the 2026 reform you do not report physically while floating — your provisional admission stays valid online as you take the next rounds. Upgradation is open up to Round 3; after Round 3 anyone still holding a seat reports physically to finish.

This reform is MCC’s own — it covers AIQ, deemed and central seats only. Uttarakhand’s own counselling (held by HNBUMU) sets its own process; check with them for how upgrades work on your state seats.

Key Insights

Key Insights

AI Open at Private
Private colleges in Uttarakhand offer AI Open seats accessible to all India candidates via state counselling. This is a non-domicile route separate from AIQ and DNB. Check HNBUMU notification for specific seat counts.
AIIMS Rishikesh = Separate
AIIMS Rishikesh is NOT under HNBUMU. It comes under MCC (AIIMS category). Do not confuse it with state quota seats. AIIMS Rishikesh is highly competitive for all clinical branches.
Hill State Advantage
Uttarakhand's PG capacity is small relative to demand. However, the hill state status means government stipends include hill area allowance. Remote postings in Garhwal/Kumaon carry additional incentives.
Growing PG Network
New GMCs at Almora, Srinagar (Garhwal), and Kashipur are being set up. PG seats will expand over the next 2-3 years as these colleges mature.
