Allotment & reporting
Seat allotment across rounds, followed by document verification and reporting at the institute.
MD / MS
University-affiliated postgraduate degrees offered at medical colleges. MD covers largely non-surgical specialities; MS covers surgical specialities. Typically three years including thesis work.
- Offered by government, deemed and private medical colleges
- Strong academic and research exposure with university affiliation
- Seat availability varies widely by state and speciality
DNB / DrNB
Diplomate of National Board qualifications awarded by the National Board of Examinations, largely offered at accredited teaching hospitals and large-volume institutions.
- Recognised as equivalent for most career pathways
- High clinical exposure at busy tertiary-care hospitals
- Often more accessible seat options at competitive ranks
Government & private colleges
Government medical colleges
Lowest fee structure and strong clinical volume — typically the most competitive closing ranks in every state.
Deemed & private universities
Wider seat availability at higher fees. Fee structure, bond terms and stipend vary institution to institution.
DNB hospitals
Accredited hospitals with high case load, often an excellent option when the desired branch matters more than the tag.
PG counselling information
Counselling runs in multiple rounds across All India Quota and state authorities, each with its own registration, choice-filling and reporting deadlines. Round schedules and seat matrices are notified officially every cycle — we track them for you and flag the deadlines that apply to your case.
Dates, fees and seat matrices are not published here because they change each cycle. Ask a counsellor for the figures verified against the current bulletin.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to register separately for AIQ and state counselling?
Yes. All India Quota counselling and each state's counselling are separate registrations with their own schedules, fees and document requirements.
Is DNB equivalent to MD/MS?
DNB/DrNB qualifications awarded by the National Board of Examinations are recognised postgraduate qualifications. Specific equivalence for teaching or government posts is governed by the prevailing rules of the recruiting body.
Should I prioritise the branch or the college?
It depends on your long-term plan. Our counsellors work through your rank, preferred speciality, budget and location so the preference list reflects an outcome you actually want.
What documents should I keep ready?
MBBS degree and marksheets, internship completion certificate, medical council registration, NEET PG scorecard, identity proof, category and domicile certificates where applicable.
What are the fees and cut-offs for this cycle?
Fees, dates and cut-offs change every cycle and are notified officially. Speak to a GPC World counsellor for figures verified against the current official bulletin.
