🩺 MBBS Admission Process in India: Step-by-Step Guide by AVMC Puducherry

Pursuing a career in medicine is a dream nurtured by thousands of students each year. However, understanding the MBBS admission process is just as important as preparing for the entrance exams. At Aarupadai Veedu Medical College & Hospital (AVMC), Puducherry, we believe in making this journey easier by offering students and parents complete clarity on how to navigate medical admissions in India.

This blog is a comprehensive step-by-step guide that will help you confidently approach the MBBS admission process, whether you are preparing for NEET UG or planning for the counseling rounds.

📘 What is the MBBS Admission Process?

The MBBS admission process is the system through which students secure a seat in a medical college after qualifying for the NEET UG exam. This process includes eligibility checks, entrance exams, counseling, seat allotment, and college admission.

With NEET being the only valid entrance test for MBBS in India, understanding how it fits into the broader admission structure is essential.

🧑‍⚕️ Step 1: Meet the Eligibility Criteria

Before applying, students must ensure they meet the following minimum criteria:

• Passed 10+2 with Physics, Chemistry, Biology/Biotechnology, and English.

• Scored at least 50% in PCB subjects (40% for reserved categories).

• Age must be 17 years or older by December 31 of the admission year.

• Qualified NEET UG in the same year of application.

These criteria are standardized by the National Medical Commission (NMC).

📝 Step 2: Register for NEET UG

The first major step in the MBBS admission process is appearing for the NEET UG exam, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA).

Key actions:

• Visit neet.nta.nic.in

• Complete the online application

• Upload required documents

• Pay the examination fee

• Download the confirmation page

Your NEET score becomes the basis for all further stages of admission.

📊 Step 3: Appear for the NEET UG Examination

The NEET UG exam is a national-level test held in offline mode. It comprises 200 questions (180 to be answered) from Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Performance in this exam determines your All India Rank, which is used for seat allotment during counseling.

🏥 Step 4: Participate in Counseling

After the NEET results are announced, students must participate in centralized counseling to secure their seat.

There are two types of counseling processes:

1. All India Quota (AIQ) – 15% seats

• Managed by MCC (Medical Counseling Committee)

• Includes seats from government colleges and deemed universities

• Apply via mcc.nic.in

2. State Quota Counseling – 85% seats

• Managed by individual state authorities

• Includes both government and private medical colleges

• Separate applications required for each state

💡 AVMC Puducherry, as part of Vinayaka Missions Research Foundation, participates in centralized counseling for its MBBS admissions.

📂 Step 5: Choice Filling and Seat Allotment

After registration, you will be asked to fill your preferred choices of medical colleges. Based on your NEET rank, seat availability, category, and preferences, a seat will be allotted.

Once you are allotted a seat:

• Download the seat allotment letter

• Report to the college for admission formalities

• Submit original documents and pay the fees
