In such a situation, many students and parents want to know what will happen next after the result, who does the counselling, which documents will be required and how to get a seat. In such a situation, let us explain to you the complete process of NEET counselling.

What is the first thing to do after the result?

After the declaration of the result, candidates should first download their NEET UG 2026 scorecard and check all the information entered in it carefully. In this, it is important to have the candidate’s name, roll number, category, total marks, percentile, All India Rank and category rank correct. If any kind of mistake is seen then you should immediately contact NTA. After this, candidates should assess on the basis of their rank and category what are their chances of getting admission in Government Medical College, State Quota, All India Quota or Private Medical College. Studying previous years’ cut offs and probable college closing ranks makes it easier to choose a college.

Through this process, seats are allotted in other medical courses including MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, BUMS, BSMS. Seat allotment is entirely based on the candidate’s NEET rank, category, reservation rules and college preference in the course.

Under this, the admission process is also completed for the seats of AIIMS, JIPMER, Kendriya Vidyalaya, Deemed University, ESIC and other national institutions. Whereas 85 percent counseling of state quota is done by the counseling agencies of the respective states. Admission to most of the seats in state government medical colleges is done through this process.

Is there a separate application for state counselling?

Apart from participating in the counseling of All India Quota, candidates will have to apply separately for the counseling of their state.
