9. MD/MS Seat Allotment Process

Understanding the Allotment Mechanism
Rank-Based Merit System

Allotment is based on NEET PG All India Rank (AIR), not percentile. Higher rank gets priority. Category rank is used for reserved seats. Domicile status matters for state quota.

Choice Filling Strategy

Fill choices carefully considering: (1) Specialty preference, (2) College reputation, (3) Location, (4) Fee structure. Fill maximum possible choices (100+). Order matters - always put dream choices first.

Multiple Rounds & Upgradation

Uttar Pradesh conducts 2-3 rounds of counselling. Select "Willingness for Upgradation" if you want better college in next round. If upgraded, previous seat is auto-cancelled. Freeze seat only if fully satisfied.

Bond & Service Commitment

Government medical college admissions may require signing service bond (usually 2-3 years in Uttar Pradesh). Bond amount varies by specialty. Private colleges generally don't have bond requirements.

Seat Acceptance Timeline

Report to allotted college within 7-10 days. Pay admission fees (non-refundable). Submit all original documents. Get admission confirmation letter. Classes usually start from August-September.

Expert Advice: Don't leave any popular college-specialty combo. Even if cutoff seems out of reach, fill it. Cutoffs fluctuate, and you might get lucky. Always have backup non-clinical specialties filled.
