Sikkim NEET PG Counselling (SMIMS)
How a Sikkim aspirant approaches NEET PG — where the limited state seats sit, and why the All-India round matters most here.
Sikkim has a small number of medical PG seats, so most aspirants from Sikkim find their PG seat through the All-India MCC round rather than a large state counselling. Sikkim's main medical college is a private/deemed university, so most of its PG seats are filled through the deemed-university route under MCC rather than a separate state counselling.
This guide explains who handles Sikkim's state seats, how the All-India route fits in, what you'll be asked for, and the documents to keep ready.
Who conducts this counselling
The state authority for Sikkim handles whatever state-quota PG seats exist, publishing the notice, verifying eligibility and declaring allotments where it runs a round.
Because Sikkim's PG seat base is small, the All India Quota — conducted by MCC — is where most Sikkim doctors realistically compete for a seat. It is worth registering for MCC counselling regardless.
What seats it fills
- The limited state-quota PG seats available within Sikkim.
- Any in-service share the state sets aside for serving government doctors.
- For everything else: the All India Quota, deemed and central seats through MCC.
Who is eligible
A qualifying NEET PG rank is the entry ticket everywhere. For a Sikkim state seat, the state's own domicile/eligibility rules also apply, as defined in the year's notice.
Every qualified candidate can additionally compete for All India Quota seats through MCC, with no domicile requirement — which is why the AIQ route matters so much for Sikkim aspirants.
- A qualifying NEET PG rank/percentile for your category.
- MBBS from a recognised college with completed internship.
- Sikkim domicile/eligibility for a state seat, per the notice.
- Valid medical-council registration.
- For AIQ: no domicile requirement — open all-India merit through MCC.

Common questions
Does Sikkim have its own NEET PG medical seats?
Sikkim has only a limited number of state PG medical seats. Where they exist, the state authority handles them; but most Sikkim aspirants compete through the All-India MCC round, which has no domicile requirement.
Should I register for MCC counselling?
Yes — for Sikkim aspirants the All India Quota (MCC) is usually the main route to a PG seat, so registering for MCC counselling is important. Take part in the state round too if one runs for local seats.
Where do I confirm the current process?
Dates, fees and rules change each cycle. Confirm the current All-India process on mcc.nic.in and any state process on the official Sikkim portal before you act.
