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:
