Qualifying NEET UG 2025 is a huge achievement—but it’s just the beginning.
The real competition starts with NEET UG counselling, where lakhs of students compete for limited MBBS, BDS, and B.Sc Nursing seats across India.

B.Sc Nursing (via NEET since 2021)
Two major types of counselling are conducted:

100% seats in:
AIIMS, JIPMER
Deemed Universities
Central Universities (BHU, AMU, DU)
ESIC Colleges
B.Sc Nursing (Central Institutes)

Each state conducts counselling for:
85% state quota seats in government colleges
100% seats in private medical/dental colleges
