HP NEET UG 2026 Seat Matrix Overview

The HP NEET UG 2026 seat matrix covers all MBBS and BDS seats available under state quota, AIQ, and management quota in Himachal Pradesh. AMRUHP releases the official seat matrix along with the counselling schedule, typically in June–July following the NEET UG result. The expected total seat distribution for 2026, based on 2025 data, is given below:

Course Government Seats Private Seats Total (Expected)
MBBS 650 250+ ~900
BDS 40 400+ ~440
Total 690 650+ ~1,340

Of the total government MBBS seats, 15% are AIQ seats managed by MCC and the remaining 85% are HP state quota seats managed by AMRUHP. AIIMS Bilaspur, being a central government institution, is not part of HP state counselling and has a separate admission process. Private college state quota seats are filled exclusively through AMRUHP, not MCC.


HP Government Medical College MBBS Seat Matrix 2026

Himachal Pradesh has six government medical colleges that offer MBBS. DRPGMC Kangra at Tanda has the highest MBBS intake among government colleges in HP with approximately 150 seats, while the remaining five colleges have approximately 100 seats each. The expected college-wise seat distribution based on 2025 trends is:

College Location Total MBBS Seats State Quota (85%) AIQ (15%)
Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) Shimla 100 85 15
Dr. Rajendra Prasad Govt. Medical College (DRPGMC) Kangra (Tanda) 150 128 22

Govt. Medical College Chamba 100 85 15
Govt. Medical College Nahan (Sirmaur) 100 85 15
Total 650 553 97

IGMC Shimla is the oldest and most prestigious government medical college in HP, consistently attracting students with higher NEET UG scores. Government MBBS annual fees under HP state quota are regulated and significantly lower than private MBBS fees in the state. The official 2026 seat breakdown will be confirmed in the AMRUHP information brochure at amruhp.ac.in.


HP Private Medical College MBBS Seat Matrix 2026

Private medical colleges in Himachal Pradesh participate in AMRUHP counselling for their state quota MBBS seats. 50% of private MBBS college seats form the state quota filled through AMRUHP, and the remaining 50% are management and NRI quota seats filled directly by college managements. The expected private MBBS seat distribution for 2026 based on previous year data is:

College Location Total MBBS Seats State Quota (50%) Management / NRI Quota (50%)
M.M. Medical College and Hospital Kumarhatti, Solan 150 75 75
Shri Sai College of Medical Sciences and Research Palampur, Kangra 100 50 50
Total (Expected) 250 125 125

Participation of private colleges in AMRUHP state counselling is subject to NMC approval and annual seat allocation orders; the final list of participating private colleges will be published by AMRUHP. Students seeking private MBBS seats under HP state quota must register at amruhp.ac.in and complete all rounds of AMRUHP online counselling. Private MBBS annual fees in HP range from approximately INR 10 lakh to INR 15 lakh under state quota and are considerably higher under management quota.


HP NEET UG 2026 BDS College-Wise Seat Matrix

BDS admissions in Himachal Pradesh are also conducted through AMRUHP counselling alongside MBBS. HP has one government dental college — HP Government Dental College and Hospital, Shimla — and four private dental colleges, with a combined expected BDS seat intake of approximately 440 seats for 2026.

Government BDS seats at HP Government Dental College follow the same 85% state quota and 15% AIQ split as government MBBS colleges. Private dental colleges allocate 50% of their seats under state quota through AMRUHP. BDS NEET UG cutoff scores are generally lower than MBBS cutoffs within the same category and quota in HP, making BDS accessible at lower score bands.


HP NEET UG 2026 Category-Wise Seat Distribution

Within the HP state quota, seats are distributed across social and special categories as per the Himachal Pradesh government’s reservation policy. You must hold a valid HP bonafide or domicile certificate to claim any HP state quota MBBS or BDS seat. The category-wise reservation applicable to HP state quota seats is:

Category Reservation in HP State Quota

Other Backward Classes (OBC) 5%
Ex-Serviceman / Ward of Ex-Serviceman 5%
HP Sports Person 2%
Persons with Disabilities (PwD) 5% (horizontal across all categories)

PwD reservation of 5% is applied horizontally across all categories as per NMC norms. Students from outside Himachal Pradesh are not eligible for state quota seats and must apply only through AIQ (MCC counselling for government colleges) or directly through college managements for management and NRI quota in private colleges. The precise category-wise, college-level seat count will be published in the AMRUHP 2026 information brochure on amruhp.ac.in once the counselling schedule is officially announced.
