With the declaration of NEET UG 2026 results and the release of the latest MBBS seat matrix, thousands of medical aspirants are preparing for counselling. For students who may not secure a government medical seat, management quota admissions in private and deemed medical colleges provide another legitimate pathway—provided they have qualified NEET and participate in the official counselling process. Recent updates also show that India now has over 1.36 lakh MBBS seats across 823 medical colleges, expanding opportunities for eligible candidates.
