Tripura NEET Counselling 2026: Registration Expected July, Schedule, Merit List and Seat Allotment

Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026 is conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Tripura, through the Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC) at trmcc.admissions.nic.in. The counselling offers 85% State Quota admission to MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, and BASLP courses at government and private medical colleges in Tripura. As of July 2, 2026, the NEET UG 2026 re-exam result (re-exam held June 21, 2026) is still awaited, and the official Tripura NEET Counselling 2026 schedule has not yet been released by DME Tripura.

• NEET UG 2026 Result: The original NEET UG 2026 exam (May 3) was cancelled due to a paper leak, and a re-exam was conducted on June 21, 2026. The re-NEET 2026 result is expected in mid-to-late July 2026 at neet.nta.nic.in. DME Tripura will prepare the Tripura state merit list and release the counselling schedule only after NTA declares the result.
• Registration: Tripura NEET 2026 counselling registration is expected to open on trmcc.admissions.nic.in after the NEET result is declared — tentatively late July or early August 2026. In 2025, Round 1 registration started on July 30 and closed on August 5 (extended). Only Tripura PRC holders and eligible non-domicile candidates can register.
• State Merit List: The DME Tripura state merit list for 2026 is expected in August 2026. In 2025, the merit list was released on August 8, about two days after document verification and choice filling closed. Your position on this list, combined with your reservation category, determines your seat allotment priority.
• Seat Allotment: Round 1 seat allotment for Tripura NEET 2026 is expected by mid-August 2026 at the earliest. In 2025, Round 1 allotment was declared on August 9, and selected candidates had to report to allotted colleges from August 10 to 12. Around 340 MBBS and 54 BDS seats are available under the 85% state quota.

What is Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026?

Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026 is the state-level centralised admission process for MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, and BASLP courses under the 85% State Quota in Tripura. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Government of Tripura, runs this process through the Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC). If you have qualified NEET UG 2026 and hold a valid Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) of Tripura, you can participate in this counselling for state quota seats.

The TRMCC portal — trmcc.admissions.nic.in — is the official platform for all counselling activities: registration, document verification, choice filling, and seat allotment. The DME Tripura website at dme.tripura.gov.in publishes official notifications, schedules, and information bulletins before each counselling cycle begins.

The remaining 15% of MBBS and BDS seats fall under the All India Quota (AIQ), managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in. Non-domicile candidates from other states can only apply for AIQ seats at private medical colleges in Tripura — they cannot participate in state quota counselling through TRMCC.

Tripura State Quota vs All India Quota: Key Difference

Many candidates confuse MCC counselling with Tripura state counselling. MCC handles the 15% AIQ seats at all medical colleges and is open to candidates from any state in India. The DME Tripura (TRMCC) counselling fills the 85% state quota seats and is primarily for candidates who are permanent residents of Tripura.

If you want a seat at Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) under the state quota — which has minimal institutional fees compared to private colleges — you must apply through TRMCC separately. Your NEET score is the same for both, but the rank lists, cutoffs, and timelines are completely independent. Both processes run during the same counselling season but on separate portals.

You must register separately on trmcc.admissions.nic.in for state quota seats and on mcc.nic.in for All India Quota seats. These are two completely separate counselling processes. Missing the TRMCC registration window means you lose all state quota seat opportunities for that year.

Tripura NEET Counselling 2026: Important Dates

As of July 2, 2026, DME Tripura has not released the official Tripura NEET Counselling 2026 schedule. The NEET UG re-exam (held June 21, 2026) result is still awaited — without it, the state merit list cannot be prepared and the schedule cannot be finalised. The expected dates below are based on the 2025 counselling pattern. Check trmcc.admissions.nic.in and dme.tripura.gov.in for official announcements.

Source: TRMCC Official Portal (2025 schedule used as reference)

All 2026 dates are tentative. The 2026 timeline is expected to be pushed later than 2025 because the re-NEET 2026 result (re-exam June 21) will come after the original NEET 2025 result date (June 14). Bookmark trmcc.admissions.nic.in and dme.tripura.gov.in for official updates.

How to Register for Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026?

Tripura NEET 2026 counselling registration is done entirely online at trmcc.admissions.nic.in. Physical applications are not accepted. The 2026 registration window has not opened yet as of July 2, 2026 — it is expected to open after the NEET UG 2026 re-exam result is declared. Here is the full step-by-step process you should prepare for:

Step 1: Visit the Official TRMCC Portal

Go to trmcc.admissions.nic.in when registration opens and click the "Online Registration for UG Counselling" link. The DME Tripura website at dme.tripura.gov.in will also carry a notification with the direct registration link. Do not register through any third-party website.

Step 2: Fill the Online Application Form

Enter your personal details — name, date of birth, gender, category, and contact information. Provide your NEET UG 2026 roll number, score, percentile, and All India Rank (AIR). Upload scanned copies of all required documents — mark sheets, PRC, category certificate, Aadhaar, and NEET scorecard — in the specified format and file size. Review all details carefully before submitting, as corrections may not be possible after submission.

Step 3: Pay the Registration Fee Online

Pay the non-refundable registration fee through net banking, debit card, or credit card. The fee is ₹2,500 for General/EWS candidates and ₹1,800 for SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates from Tripura. Download and save the payment receipt — you must carry it to document verification.

Step 4: Offline Document Verification at DME Tripura

After completing the online form, you must appear in person for document verification at the DME Tripura office at Bidurkatra Chowmohani, Agartala – 799001. Bring original documents with self-attested photocopies. In 2025, this window ran from July 31 to August 6 alongside choice filling. Candidates who do not appear for document verification are disqualified from that round.

Step 5: Choice Filling and Locking

Once your documents are verified, log into the TRMCC portal and fill in your preferred colleges and courses in order of priority. You can revise your choices any number of times until you lock them. Once locked, no changes are possible. The allotment is done strictly based on your locked choice list — do not leave the portal without confirming the "Choices Locked" status.

Step 6: Seat Allotment and Reporting

The seat allotment result is published on the TRMCC portal. If you are allotted a seat, download your allotment letter and report to the college within the given deadline — typically 2 to 3 days after allotment is declared. Failure to report within the deadline leads to automatic cancellation of your allotment.

Read the official information bulletin published on dme.tripura.gov.in before starting registration. The bulletin contains all the rules, fee details, document requirements, and specific instructions for the 2026 counselling cycle.

Tripura NEET Counselling 2026: Registration Fee

You need to pay a non-refundable registration fee at the time of applying for Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026. In addition, a separate refundable security deposit is collected from candidates who receive seat allotment. The 2026 fee structure is expected to be similar to 2025.

Security Deposit (Refundable)

If you receive a seat allotment, you must also pay a refundable security deposit before confirming your seat. This deposit is returned to you when you complete admission formalities and join the allotted college. The approximate security deposit amounts are:

• Government Colleges (AGMC, AGDC): ₹5,000 – ₹10,000
• Private Colleges (TMC, TSMC): ₹1,00,000 (refundable on joining)

The registration fee is strictly non-refundable under all circumstances, including withdrawal from counselling. If you are allotted a seat in Round 2 and choose not to report to the college, your security deposit will also be forfeited. You will then be ineligible for the Stray Vacancy Round of that academic year.

Documents Required for Tripura NEET Counselling 2026

Offline document verification is mandatory for all registered candidates. You must bring originals and self-attested photocopies of every document listed below to the DME Tripura office in Agartala. Missing even one required document can disqualify your application for that counselling round.

• NEET UG 2026 Admit Card: Original copy of the admit card issued by NTA for the NEET 2026 re-exam (June 21, 2026).
• NEET UG 2026 Scorecard: Official scorecard showing your total score, All India Rank (AIR), percentile, and qualifying status. Download from neet.nta.nic.in after the result is declared.
• Class 10 Marksheet and Passing Certificate: For date of birth verification and board identification.
• Class 12 Marksheet and Passing Certificate: Must clearly show individual subject marks in Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. A provisional certificate is accepted if the final board certificate is still awaited.
• Permanent Resident Certificate (PRC) of Tripura: Valid PRC issued by the SDM or competent authority of the Government of Tripura. This is mandatory for state quota seats and cannot be substituted by any other document.
• Category Certificate (SC/ST/OBC/EWS): If claiming reservation, the certificate must be issued by the relevant government authority of Tripura. Certificates from other state governments are not accepted.
• PwD Certificate: If applicable, issued by a government medical board, specifying the type and percentage of disability.
• Aadhaar Card: For identity verification and biometric authentication during the document check process.
• Passport-size Photographs: At least 6 to 8 recent colour photographs with a white background and clear face visibility.
• TRMCC Registration Acknowledgement: Printout of your completed online application form showing the application number and fee payment confirmation.
• Fee Payment Receipt: Proof of successful online payment of the non-refundable registration fee.

Your PRC must be valid and current at the time of document verification. An expired, defaced, or invalid PRC will lead to disqualification from state quota seats. If your PRC is due for renewal, complete the renewal process before the counselling document verification window opens.

Tripura NEET UG 2026: Seat Matrix

The Tripura NEET UG 2026 seat matrix covers MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, and BASLP courses at government and private colleges in the state. The 85% state quota seats are filled through TRMCC counselling, while the 15% AIQ seats are managed by MCC separately. The official 2026 seat matrix will be published by DME Tripura before counselling starts. The table below is based on the 2025 pattern.

Source: DME Tripura (2025 seat matrix)

The seat matrix above reflects the 2025 pattern. DME Tripura may revise the 2026 seat count based on NMC approvals or regulatory changes. A new Tripura Government Ayurvedic Medical College and Hospital has been approved by the Centre for 60 BAMS seats and is expected to admit students from the 2026–27 session. If included in the 2026 counselling pool, this could significantly expand BAMS seat availability through TRMCC.

Always download and read the official seat matrix published on dme.tripura.gov.in and trmcc.admissions.nic.in before starting your choice filling. The 2026 matrix will be released along with the counselling schedule.

Tripura NEET Counselling 2026: Reservation Policy

The seat reservation for Tripura NEET 2026 state quota counselling follows the Government of Tripura’s norms. Tripura’s 30% Scheduled Tribe (ST) reservation is among the highest of any state in India’s NEET counselling, reflecting the state’s significant tribal population — particularly communities in the Tripura Tribal Areas Autonomous District Council (TTAADC) region.

The effect of the 30% ST reservation is visible in the dramatically different cutoffs across categories. In 2025, ST candidates secured AGMC MBBS seats with NEET scores around 375–400, while General category candidates needed 545+ at the same college. This wide gap is by design — it ensures tribal students from Tripura have a meaningful path to government medical education in the state.

PwD reservation is horizontal, not vertical. It means 5% of seats within each category (General, SC, ST, OBC) are earmarked for PwD candidates of that category. It does not add a separate 5% block to the total seats. So a PwD-General candidate competes within the General PwD horizontal pool, not against all PwD candidates.

Category certificates must be issued by the Government of Tripura. Certificates from any other state government are not valid for claiming reservation in Tripura NEET state quota. Check the validity of your certificate well before the document verification window, and renew it if it is about to expire.

Tripura NEET UG 2026 Merit List

The Tripura NEET UG 2026 merit list is a state-specific rank list prepared by DME Tripura using NEET UG 2026 scores of all registered and document-verified candidates. Your position on this state merit list — not your All India Rank (AIR) — determines seat allotment priority in Tripura state quota counselling.

How Is the Merit List Prepared?

After the registration and document verification window closes, DME Tripura collects the NEET UG 2026 scores of all eligible candidates who have been verified. Domicile-eligible candidates form one rank pool for state quota seats. The merit list is published category-wise on trmcc.admissions.nic.in — covering General, SC, ST, OBC, EWS, and PwD separate rank lists. You can check your state merit rank there.

Tie-Breaking Criteria

If two candidates have the same NEET UG 2026 total score, the merit rank is determined using the following tie-breaking sequence:

• Higher marks in Biology (Botany + Zoology) in NEET 2026 — ranked higher
• If still tied, higher marks in Chemistry in NEET 2026 — ranked higher
• If still tied, higher marks in Physics in NEET 2026 — ranked higher
• If still tied, the older candidate (earlier date of birth) — ranked higher

In 2025, the Tripura Round 1 merit list was published on August 8 — one day after choice filling closed on August 7. For 2026, expect a similar 1 to 2 day turnaround between the close of choice filling and the merit list publication, though the actual dates will be later given the re-NEET timeline.

You should compare your NEET score and category against last year’s cutoff data (see the Cutoff section below) to estimate which colleges may be within reach before you fill and lock your choices.

Tripura NEET Counselling 2026: Choice Filling and Locking

Choice filling is the step in Tripura NEET 2026 counselling where you select and rank your preferred colleges and courses in the TRMCC portal. This step is critical — your seat allotment result depends entirely on what you fill and lock here. Choice filling runs simultaneously with document verification, so you need to start it as soon as your documents are verified.

How Choice Filling Works

After document verification, you get access to the choice filling module on trmcc.admissions.nic.in. You can add and rearrange the available options — for example, AGMC (MBBS), AGDC (BDS), TMC (MBBS), TSMC (MBBS), TSMC (BHMS) — in your preferred order. You can change your priority order, add more choices, or remove options as many times as you like before locking. Once you click "Lock Choices," your selection is final.

The allotment engine reads your locked list from top to bottom. It checks if the top choice has a seat available for your merit rank and category. If yes, you get that seat. If no, it moves to your second choice. This continues down your list until a matching seat is found. A longer choice list gives you more chances.

Tips for Smart Choice Filling

• Add every available option: The more colleges and courses you add, the higher the chance of getting some seat. Never leave out a college just because you dislike it — you can always decline after allotment.
• Prioritise government colleges first: AGMC and AGDC charge only institutional fees (₹10,000–25,000/year) while private colleges charge ₹12–14 lakh/year. If fee is a concern, put AGMC at the very top.
• Reference 2025 cutoffs: Use the cutoff table in the next section to assess which colleges your score can realistically reach. Put aspirational choices above and safer ones below as a backup.
• Always confirm "Choices Locked" before logging out: Filled but unlocked choices are not considered for allotment. Set an alarm for the locking deadline and verify the locked status on the portal screen.

Choices that are not locked before the deadline will not be used for allotment — it is as if you never filled them. The TRMCC portal does not send automatic reminders for the locking deadline. You are responsible for locking on time.

Tripura NEET UG 2026: Seat Allotment

The seat allotment for Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026 is conducted by TRMCC after the choice locking deadline. The entire process is algorithmic — based on your state merit rank, locked choices, available seats, and the reservation policy. No manual intervention is involved.

How Allotment Is Done

The TRMCC system processes candidates from the highest state merit rank to the lowest. For each candidate, it scans their locked choice list from the top. The first college and course in the list that has an available seat in the candidate’s category is assigned. Once all seats are filled or all candidates are processed, the allotment round closes and results are published on trmcc.admissions.nic.in.

After Allotment: Immediate Steps

• Log into the TRMCC portal and check the allotment result
• If allotted, download your allotment letter immediately
• Report to the allotted college within the stated deadline — usually 2 to 3 days after allotment is declared
• Pay the required college fee at the college and complete enrollment formalities
• Submit original documents to the college for final verification and enrollment

Not Allotted in Round 1? What to Do

If you do not receive a seat in Round 1, you can register fresh for Round 2. Round 2 typically happens 3 to 4 weeks after Round 1 reporting closes. Seats available in Round 2 include those unfilled from Round 1 and those vacated by Round 1 allottees who chose not to join. A Stray Vacancy Round follows Round 2 to fill any remaining seats, usually in November or December.

Round 2 Upgrade Option for Round 1 Allottees

If you got a seat in Round 1 but want a better college, you can participate in Round 2 with your Round 1 seat as a safety net. If Round 2 gives you a better allotment, your Round 1 seat is automatically cancelled and the upgraded seat is confirmed. If no upgrade is available, your Round 1 seat remains intact. This upgrade mechanism is designed to help candidates who settle for a lower-preference college in Round 1 to potentially move up.

If you receive a Round 2 allotment and do not report to the college within the deadline, your security deposit will be forfeited and you will not be eligible for the Stray Vacancy Round. This rule applies even if you voluntarily withdraw after getting your Round 2 seat.

Participating Colleges in Tripura NEET UG Counselling 2026

Tripura has three medical colleges and one government dental college participating in state quota counselling through TRMCC. All four institutions are located in or near Agartala, the state capital. Private colleges also offer AYUSH and allied health science courses alongside MBBS.

Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC)

AGMC is the only government medical college in Tripura and the most competitive institution in Tripura NEET UG counselling. Established in 2005 and affiliated with Tripura University, AGMC is recognised by the National Medical Commission (NMC). It offers approximately 150 MBBS seats in total, of which around 128 are under the 85% state quota. Since government MBBS has minimal institutional fees, AGMC is the top choice for state domicile candidates. In 2025, the General category closing rank at AGMC under the AIQ was 82,107 (All India Rank).

Agartala Government Dental College and IGM Hospital (AGDC)

AGDC is Tripura’s government dental college with 63 BDS seats, functioning alongside the Indira Gandhi Memorial (IGM) Hospital in Agartala. About 54 seats fall under state quota and are filled through TRMCC. The remaining 9 AIQ seats are managed by MCC. The BDS programme runs for 5 years (4 years curriculum + 1 year internship) and is affiliated with Tripura University.

Tripura Medical College and Dr. B.R.A.M. Teaching Hospital (TMC)

TMC is a private medical college at Hapania, Agartala, established in 2006. It offers 100 MBBS seats and is affiliated with Tripura University. The annual tuition fee is around ₹13.5 lakh. Both 85% state quota and 15% AIQ seats are available. TMC typically fills its state quota seats from mid-range merit rank candidates who miss out on AGMC.

Tripura Santiniketan Medical College (TSMC)

TSMC is a private medical college offering MBBS (150 seats), BAMS (Ayurveda), BHMS (Homeopathy), and BASLP (Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology). It is the only institution in Tripura where you can study Ayurveda or Homeopathy through NEET-based counselling. Annual fees are in the ₹12–14 lakh range. TSMC serves candidates who either prefer AYUSH courses or did not get a seat in AGMC or TMC.
