NEET-PG colleges in Delhi are among the most sought-after PG medical seats in India — a compact map of MD, MS and DNB training packed into a single city, with famously low government fees and some of the country's highest resident stipends. If you cleared NEET-PG 2026 (results declared 24 September 2026 by NBEMS), Delhi's postgraduate seats fill through two routes: the 50% All India Quota (AIQ), run online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the DGHS, and the 50% Delhi state quota, run by the University of Delhi's Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS) and by GGSIPU for their respective affiliated colleges. This guide covers every college type, the correct counselling authority and portal, indicative fees and cut-offs — and how to turn your rank into an exact, personalised Delhi college list.
The MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor turns your rank and category into a personalised list of MD/MS/DNB colleges and specialities — across MCC AIQ and every state quota including Delhi — each with round-wise closing ranks, annual fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability score. Accurate, no rumours, no spreadsheets.
Which PG medical colleges are in Delhi?
Delhi's PG landscape is dominated by government and central-government teaching hospitals, backed by a strong cluster of NBEMS-accredited DNB hospitals and a deemed institute. Broadly, MD/MS/DNB seats fall into four buckets:
- Delhi University-affiliated government colleges: Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) and Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) — half their seats go to AIQ (MCC), half to the Delhi state quota via the Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS), University of Delhi.
- GGSIPU-affiliated teaching hospitals: VMMC & Safdarjung Hospital and Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences & Dr RML Hospital (ABVIMS-RML) — 50% of seats go to AIQ via MCC and 50% to the Delhi state quota conducted by GGSIPU.
- Other Delhi-government / IPU-linked institutes: e.g. Chacha Nehru Bal Chikitsalaya (paediatric specialities) and similar hospitals, with the AIQ share via MCC and the state share via GGSIPU where applicable.
- DNB hospitals and one deemed university: NBEMS-accredited private/trust hospitals such as Sir Ganga Ram, Indraprastha Apollo, Max, Fortis, BLK-Max, Batra and Holy Family; plus Hamdard Institute of Medical Sciences & Research (HIMSR), a deemed university.
| College type | Examples | Counselling route | Indicative annual fee (verify) |
|---|---|---|---|
| DU-affiliated government | MAMC, UCMS, LHMC | AIQ (MCC) + Delhi state quota (FMS, DU) | Lowest — often only a few thousand ₹/yr |
| GGSIPU-affiliated hospitals | VMMC & Safdarjung, ABVIMS-RML | AIQ (MCC) + Delhi state quota (GGSIPU) | Very low |
| DNB hospitals (private/trust) | Sir Ganga Ram, Apollo, Max, Fortis, BLK-Max | AIQ (MCC) DNB counselling | Low–moderate; hospital-set |
| Deemed university | HIMSR (Jamia Hamdard) | Deemed / AIQ counselling (MCC) | Higher — deemed fee structure |

See my Delhi college listAIIMS or NEET-PG — which exam gets you which Delhi seat?
This trips up many aspirants, so get it right early. AIIMS New Delhi and the other Institutes of National Importance fill their MD/MS seats through INI-CET, a separate exam and counselling — those seats are outside NEET-PG entirely. Everything else in Delhi — MAMC, UCMS, LHMC, Safdarjung, RML, the DNB hospitals and HIMSR — is reachable through your NEET-PG rank via MCC AIQ and/or the Delhi state quota. So your NEET-PG scorecard is the key to the vast majority of Delhi PG seats; it just does not apply to AIIMS-Delhi.
How does the Delhi PG state quota work?
For the 50% state quota, Delhi uses two authorities. The Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS), University of Delhi conducts online counselling for its affiliated colleges (MAMC, UCMS, LHMC and associated institutions), while GGSIPU (Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University) conducts the state-quota counselling for its affiliated hospitals (VMMC & Safdarjung, ABVIMS-RML). Both use your NEET-PG All India Rank and category, with registration, choice-filling, merit-based allotment and reporting running over multiple rounds, and reservation following Delhi norms (SC/ST/OBC/EWS/PwBD and institutional categories where applicable). The other 50% of these colleges' seats go into the All India Quota handled by MCC. Eligibility rules (including Delhi domicile) differ by authority, so confirm them on the official portal before you register.
| Quota | Who runs it | Portal | Seats it covers |
|---|---|---|---|
| All India Quota (50%) | Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), DGHS | mcc.nic.in | AIQ share of Delhi govt colleges + DNB + deemed |
| Delhi state quota (50%) — DU colleges | Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS), University of Delhi | fmsc.ac.in | DU-affiliated colleges (MAMC, UCMS, LHMC & associated) |
| Delhi state quota (50%) — IPU colleges | Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) | ipu.ac.in | IPU-affiliated hospitals (VMMC & Safdarjung, ABVIMS-RML) |
| AIIMS / INIs (separate) | AIIMS New Delhi | aiimsexams.ac.in | INI-CET seats — NOT part of NEET-PG |
Will you land a Delhi government seat?
Government MD/MS seats in Delhi are the toughest to crack. See your realistic admit probability for each government college and speciality — before you burn a counselling round on a long shot.
AIQ vs Delhi state quota — which route should you target?
Both routes use the same NEET-PG rank, but they behave differently. AIQ (MCC) pools you against candidates from the whole country, so closing ranks for Delhi's top colleges can be extremely competitive; the upside is a single nationwide choice list. The Delhi state quota (FMS, DU and GGSIPU) restricts the pool to eligible Delhi-quota candidates, which can shift where your rank actually lands. Most serious aspirants participate in both, sequencing choices so a strong AIQ option is not forfeited for a weaker state seat — or vice-versa.
- Register for BOTH the AIQ (MCC) and the relevant Delhi state quota (FMS, DU or GGSIPU) if eligible — they are separate portals with separate schedules.
- Track fresh vacancies every round; upgrades and resignations reshuffle the list.
- Read Delhi eligibility and reservation rules carefully — domicile/institutional criteria can decide state-quota eligibility.
- Compare the specific speciality's closing rank, not just the college name — a 'reach' college can be a 'safe' bet in a less-crowded branch.
Check the closing rank for your exact rank
Round-wise closing ranks decide everything. Match your rank against recent Delhi cut-offs (AIQ and state quota) and see which colleges and branches are Safe, Target or Reach for you.
What are the fees, stipend and bond in Delhi?
Delhi is one of the best-value PG destinations in India. Government and DU-affiliated colleges charge some of the lowest tuition anywhere — often just a few thousand rupees a year — while resident stipends in Delhi government institutions are among the highest in the country. DNB hospital seats carry hospital-set fees (typically modest for broad specialities) with competitive stipends, and the deemed institute (HIMSR) sits at the higher end. Exact figures change every year and vary by college, quota and speciality — always verify against the official prospectus, and use the predictor to see the numbers attached to your specific shortlist.
| Segment | Indicative annual tuition (verify) | Stipend & bond notes (verify) |
|---|---|---|
| DU / Delhi government colleges | Very low — often a few thousand ₹/yr | High Delhi-government stipend; service bond may apply |
| GGSIPU-affiliated hospitals (Safdarjung, RML) | Very low | Government stipend scale; bond varies |
| DNB hospitals | Low–moderate, hospital-set | Hospital-paid stipend; terms differ per hospital |
| Deemed (HIMSR) | Higher — deemed fee structure | Stipend/bond per institute policy |
See fees, stipend and bond for your shortlist
Money matters. For every college your rank unlocks, the predictor shows annual fee, stipend and bond side by side — so you compare the real cost of each Delhi seat, not a ballpark.
How competitive are Delhi government seats?
Delhi packs elite institutions into a tiny footprint, so demand hugely outstrips the government seat supply. Closing ranks for popular clinical branches (Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine and the like) at MAMC, UCMS and Safdarjung sit among the sharpest in the country, while pre- and para-clinical branches and many DNB seats generally close at more reachable ranks. Remember: to even enter counselling you must first clear the NEET-PG 2026 qualifying cut-off — 262/720 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD). Qualifying is only the entry ticket; the seat you actually get depends on your rank versus each college-and-branch closing rank, which the predictor maps precisely.

Which authority conducts Delhi NEET-PG state-quota counselling?
There are two. The Faculty of Medical Sciences (FMS), University of Delhi (fmsc.ac.in) runs the 50% state-quota PG counselling for its affiliated colleges (MAMC, UCMS, LHMC and associated institutions), while GGSIPU (ipu.ac.in) runs it for its affiliated hospitals (VMMC & Safdarjung and ABVIMS-RML). The 50% All India Quota is run by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under DGHS at mcc.nic.in.
How many PG medical seats does Delhi have?
Delhi collectively offers well over a thousand MD/MS/DNB/Diploma seats across government, IPU, DNB and deemed institutions. Exact per-college seat counts change every year — check the predictor for the current, college-wise picture rather than relying on old lists.
Is AIIMS Delhi part of NEET-PG counselling?
No. AIIMS New Delhi and the other INIs fill MD/MS seats through INI-CET, a separate exam and counselling. Your NEET-PG rank does not apply to AIIMS-Delhi seats, but it opens almost every other Delhi PG college.
What is the NEET-PG 2026 cut-off to enter Delhi counselling?
You must clear the qualifying cut-off: 262/720 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC (including PwBD). This is only the entry gate — the seat you get depends on your rank versus each college-and-branch closing rank.
Are Delhi government PG fees really that low?
Yes. DU-affiliated and GGSIPU government colleges charge some of the lowest PG tuition in India, often only a few thousand rupees a year. Always verify the current figure in the official prospectus; the predictor shows the fee attached to each college on your shortlist.
What stipend do Delhi PG residents get?
Delhi government institutions pay among the highest resident stipends in India, and DNB hospitals pay competitive hospital-set stipends. Exact amounts change yearly and by institution — verify officially, and check the predictor's per-college figures before you decide.
Can candidates from outside Delhi get Delhi PG seats?
Yes, through the 50% All India Quota (MCC), which is open nationwide. The 50% Delhi state quota has its own eligibility rules (domicile/institutional criteria) set by FMS, University of Delhi and by GGSIPU — read them carefully before applying.
Which are the top government PG colleges in Delhi?
MAMC, UCMS, LHMC, VMMC & Safdarjung and ABVIMS & Dr RML Hospital are the marquee government institutions offering MD/MS. NBEMS-accredited DNB hospitals add substantial capacity across Delhi.
Are DNB seats in Delhi worth taking?
Very much so. Delhi's NBEMS-accredited hospitals (Sir Ganga Ram, Apollo, Max, Fortis, BLK-Max and others) offer strong clinical training and competitive stipends, and often close at more reachable ranks than government MD/MS. Compare them directly in the predictor.
Should I register for both AIQ and the Delhi state quota?
Yes, if eligible. They are separate portals with separate schedules, and using both roughly doubles your chances. The predictor helps you plan choices across both routes so you don't waste a preference.
Which courses can I do — is DM/MCh included?
NEET-PG covers MD, MS, DNB, DrNB (direct 6-year) and PG Diploma. Super-specialities (DM/MCh) are filled through NEET-SS, a separate exam, and are not covered here.
How do I know which Delhi college I'll actually get?
Match your rank and category against round-wise closing ranks. The MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor does this instantly and returns a personalised, admit-probability-ranked list of Delhi (and national) colleges with fees, stipend and bond.
