Uttar Pradesh NEET PG Counselling (DGME&T)
How UP's DGME&T fills the state's state-quota PG seats — the process, eligibility and documents.
Uttar Pradesh's state-quota PG medical seats are filled by the Directorate General of Medical Education & Training (DGME&T), through the state's online counselling portal. It runs separately from the All-India MCC round and covers UP's large base of government and private/state-quota colleges.
This guide covers who conducts UP counselling, which seats it fills, the domicile eligibility that governs a state seat, what the portal collects, and how the process runs.
Who conducts this counselling
The DGME&T is the Uttar Pradesh authority for PG medical and dental admissions. It publishes the counselling rules, verifies eligibility, runs the online rounds and declares allotments.
UP maintains an in-service quota for serving government doctors alongside the open state pool. The All India Quota portion of UP's government seats is handled by MCC.
What seats it fills
- State-quota PG seats in Uttar Pradesh government medical colleges.
- The in-service quota reserved for serving government doctors.
- The state-quota share of PG seats in private colleges under the state's arrangement.
Who is eligible
A qualifying NEET PG rank is required, and a UP state seat additionally depends on Uttar Pradesh domicile/eligibility as defined in the counselling rules. In-service candidates are considered under the service quota.

Common questions
Do I need a UP domicile for a state seat?

Is UP counselling separate from MCC?
