| Category | Reservation | Seats (2026-27) | BPL seats within |

Check the roster and cut-off trends on the Sikkim NEET cut off page.
How does Sikkim MBBS and BDS counselling work?
Counselling is held in person in Gangtok, and you must be present on the date; in 2026 it was at the TNSS School auditorium on 7 September.
- The first 10% of seats go to the top candidates on merit; the rest are allotted category by category in roster order.
- Each category’s top candidate picks a seat in turn: BL, then PT, OBC (Central), OBC (State), ST and SC, until every category except Others gets its share.
- Category seats left with no eligible candidate go to the next candidate on overall merit.
- Mark your attendance at the venue at least 30 minutes before counselling starts. An independent observer oversees the allotment.
- Seats received after the first round, or left vacant, are offered in a later round; in 2026 a vacant-seat round was held on 23 September.
- Once you take a state quota seat you cannot get another one, but a candidate who took another PCB course seat can upgrade to MBBS.
- Candidates on the 50 free MBBS seats lose the State sponsorship if they are detained in any year.
