Meghalaya NEET Counselling 2026 Important Dates

The 2026 counselling for Central Pool and Shillong Medical College seats ended with re-counselling on 16 and 17 September 2026. PIMC Round 3 was set for 8 October 2026, and the national schedule allows state stray rounds from 17 to 21 October 2026. The 2027 process is expected to open in August 2027, after the NEET UG 2027 result.

Which seats are filled through Meghalaya NEET counselling?

DME Meghalaya nominates state candidates to three kinds of seats. Unlike most states, Meghalaya has no 85% state quota scheme: the 2026-27 combined SOP covers 138 MBBS seats, and PIMC seats are filled in separate rounds.

All India Quota seats are filled by MCC, not by DME Meghalaya. Register separately in MCC NEET counselling if you also want those seats.

How are Meghalaya state quota seats reserved?

Seats follow the Meghalaya reservation policy, and you are ranked by NEET UG score only against candidates of your own category.

PwBD candidates are counted within each category. Unreserved seats need a Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) of Meghalaya; the other categories need a Meghalaya ST, SC or OST certificate.

How to apply for Meghalaya NEET Counselling 2026?

You apply online on the Meghalaya Health Department website after the NEET UG result. In 2026, Central Pool seats, Shillong Medical College and PIMC each had their own advertisement and application window.

1. Open meghealth.gov.in and find the MBBS/BDS admission advertisement. In 2026, forms were open from 5 or 6 to 16 August (PIMC Round 1: 7 to 13 August).
2. Fill in the online form with care: NEET UG details, Class 12 marks, category and residency status.
3. Upload your NEET UG 2026 result sheet. A form without it is not considered.
4. Pay the fee where one applies (PIMC: Rs 500) and submit before 5:00 PM on the last date.
5. Watch the website for the list of candidates called for screening and counselling. No individual letters are sent.

For technical problems with the online form, DME lists [email protected] and 94851 06663.

Who can apply for Meghalaya NEET Counselling 2026?

State quota seats are only for Meghalaya candidates who qualified NEET UG 2026.

• Indigenous inhabitant of Meghalaya with a Meghalaya ST, SC or OST certificate, or a permanent resident with a PRC for the Unreserved category.
• Passed Class 12 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology and English.
• At least 50% aggregate in PCB for General candidates and 40% for ST, SC and OST candidates.

• PIMC management seats are open to any Indian citizen, and NRI seats to NRIs with a certificate from the Indian mission, under the same Class 12 and NEET rules.

A false ST, SC, OST or PRC claim leads to cancelled admission, a three-year ban from state quota seats and legal action.

How do selection and counselling work in Meghalaya?

There is no state entrance test. DME ranks applicants by NEET UG score within each category and calls them in person.

1. DME posts the list of candidates eligible for screening on meghealth.gov.in. In 2026, screening was on 27 and 28 August at Civil Hospital Shillong and Tura Civil Hospital.
2. Eligible candidates attend counselling at the DME office, Health Complex, Laitumkhrah, Shillong. In 2026 it ran from 1 to 3 September.
3. The selected list and waiting list go up on the DME notice board, at the DMHO office in Tura, on the website and in local newspapers. The 2026 list came out on 11 September.
4. Selected candidates report to DME in person, submit an acceptance letter, sign the bond and collect the nomination letter. Missing the date passes the seat to the waiting list.
5. Vacant seats go to re-counselling. In 2026 it was held on 16 and 17 September, and the revised allocation came out on 17 September.
6. PIMC fills its seats in separate rounds. Round 3 in 2026 offered 61 vacancies: 9 state quota, 22 NRI and 30 management.
