Patna Medical College

Patna Medical College, Patna is one of Bihar's long-standing medical colleges, located in Patna and established back in 1925. As a medical college, it operates within the framework set by the National Medical Commission (NMC) and offers the medical programme family of MBBS at the undergraduate level along with MD and MS specialisations at the postgraduate level. Admission to MBBS is through NEET-UG, while NEET-PG governs entry into postgraduate seats, with eligibility tied to 10+2 (Physics, Chemistry, Biology) and the qualifying NEET cutoff. Aspirants planning Patna Medical College Patna admission 2026 should study the courses offered, NEET-based eligibility and the counselling-led admission process closely. This page consolidates courses, eligibility, fee structure, cutoff trends, seat intake and facilities to guide NEET aspirants through the 2026 session.

Admission to Patna Medical College is entirely NEET-based; there is no separate entrance test. Undergraduate seats (MBBS) are filled through NEET-UG. Postgraduate (MD/MS/DNB and allied) seats are filled through NEET-PG. Candidates must qualify NEET and then take part in centralised counselling — direct admission is not permitted.

As a government college, seats are divided between the 15% All India Quota and the 85% state quota. The All India Quota is counselled online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), while the state quota is counselled by the Bihar State NEET-UG Counselling. Both run in rounds — Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up and Stray Vacancy — with seats allotted strictly on NEET rank, category and choice order.

To secure a seat, a NEET-qualified candidate registers for the relevant counselling, fills a preference list that includes Patna Medical College, and is allotted a seat if their rank clears the closing rank for that quota and category in that round. Closing ranks move each year with the number of applicants and seats, so treat past cut-offs as guidance, not a guarantee.
