If you are targeting NEET-PG colleges in Jammu & Kashmir, you are looking at one of India's most self-contained PG landscapes: a compact but fast-growing set of government medical colleges anchored by GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu and SKIMS, a private option in ASCOMS Jammu, a widening pool of DNB/DrNB seats in district hospitals, and a state-quota channel run by JKBOPEE that is effectively closed to non-domicile candidates. This guide maps the MD, MS and DNB seats on offer for the 2026 season, explains how the 50% All India Quota (MCC) and 50% J&K state quota fit together, and shows you how to turn your rank into an exact, personalised shortlist.
Enter your NEET-PG 2026 rank and category into the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor and get a personalised list of MD/MS/DNB colleges and specialities across MCC All India Quota AND every state — each with round-wise closing ranks, annual fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability for your rank. No guesswork, just your seats.
Which medical colleges in Jammu & Kashmir offer NEET-PG MD/MS/DNB seats?
J&K's PG-granting institutes cluster around its two oldest teaching hospitals and its flagship autonomous institute, with newer district GMCs and NBEMS-accredited hospitals adding capacity every year. The heavyweight names for MD/MS are GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu and SKIMS Srinagar; ASCOMS Jammu is the main private teaching hospital; and a growing band of government hospitals now run DNB and DrNB programmes. Keep one distinction clear from the start: AIIMS Vijaypur (Jammu) fills its PG seats through INI-CET, not NEET-PG, so it sits outside this counselling.
- GMC Srinagar — one of the region's oldest and most sought-after PG centres, with a broad clinical department mix.
- GMC Jammu — established 1973, large intake, and consistently strong clinical MD/MS demand.
- SKIMS, Srinagar (Soura) — flagship tertiary-care institute with 1,000+ beds; verify its exact PG entry route on the official portal.
- SKIMS Medical College, Bemina — government PG seats in core specialities.
- Newer government colleges — GMC Anantnag, Baramulla, Rajouri, Kathua, Doda, Handwara and Udhampur, steadily expanding PG capacity.
- ASCOMS, Jammu — the principal private PG option in the Union Territory.
- DNB / DrNB centres — NBEMS-accredited government (and some private) hospitals across J&K districts.
| Institute | Type | PG counselling route |
|---|---|---|
| GMC Srinagar | Government | AIQ (MCC) + J&K state (JKBOPEE) |
| GMC Jammu | Government | AIQ (MCC) + J&K state (JKBOPEE) |
| SKIMS, Srinagar (Soura) | Autonomous institute | Own / institute route — verify on portal |
| SKIMS Medical College, Bemina | Government | AIQ (MCC) + J&K state (JKBOPEE) |
| GMC Anantnag / Baramulla / Rajouri / Kathua / Doda / Handwara / Udhampur | Government (newer) | J&K state (JKBOPEE); AIQ as notified |
| ASCOMS, Jammu | Private | J&K state quota (JKBOPEE) as notified |
| Govt / private hospitals (DNB & DrNB) | NBEMS-accredited | AIQ (MCC) counselling |
| AIIMS Vijaypur, Jammu | INI (out of NEET-PG) | INI-CET via AIIMS New Delhi — not NEET-PG |
A quick but important note for anyone building a J&K list: AIIMS Vijaypur, Jammu is a national institute that admits MD/MS candidates through INI-CET (conducted by AIIMS New Delhi), not through NEET-PG. Likewise, NEET-SS (DM/MCh) is a separate super-speciality exam and is not part of the MD/MS/DNB counselling covered here.

See my MD/MS/DNB collegesWho runs NEET-PG counselling in J&K — MCC or JKBOPEE?
Both. Like every state, J&K's medical PG seats are split into two channels. The 50% All India Quota is counselled centrally by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in, and any qualified candidate across India can compete for it. The other 50% is the J&K state (UT) quota, counselled by the Board of Professional Entrance Examinations (JKBOPEE) at jkbopee.gov.in. Since J&K became a Union Territory, the state quota is built around UT domicile — in practice it is closed to non-domicile candidates — and carries the UT's own reservation matrix (categories such as RBA and ALC, among others). DNB and DrNB seats at government and private hospitals are counselled through MCC.
- Register on the authority's portal within the notified window (MCC for AIQ and DNB; JKBOPEE for the J&K state quota).
- Upload documents — for the state quota, a valid J&K UT domicile and category certificate is essential.
- Fill and lock your choices of college + speciality in strict preference order.
- Wait for seat allotment based on rank, choices, category and seat availability.
- Report / join the allotted college, then use freeze, float or upgrade across subsequent rounds.
- Track later rounds, mop-up and stray-vacancy notifications on the official portal.

What are the NEET-PG 2026 qualifying cut-offs?
NEET-PG 2026 results were declared by NBEMS on 24 September 2026, with roughly 2.66 lakh candidates in the pool. The qualifying cut-off scores (out of 720) below are the entry gate to counselling — clearing them lets you register, but the seat you actually get depends on your rank, category and choices. Treat these as the floor, not a promise of a seat.
| Category | Qualifying percentile | Cut-off score (/720) |
|---|---|---|
| General / EWS | 50th percentile | 262 |
| General-PwBD | 45th percentile | 244 |
| SC / ST / OBC (incl. PwBD) | 40th percentile | 226 |
Will you get a government seat?
Clearing the cut-off is only step one. Enter your rank to see whether a government MD/MS seat at a J&K GMC or SKIMS — or a strong DNB seat — is within reach for you, with an honest admit-probability.
How competitive are J&K PG seats in 2026?
Because the J&K state quota is domicile-restricted, competition for state seats is largely among J&K candidates — which can make in-demand clinical branches at GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu and SKIMS very tight, while pre- and para-clinical MD seats and some DNB seats close at far more forgiving ranks. The bands below are indicative and qualitative only; they are not closing ranks. Your real, round-wise closing ranks — for exactly your category and quota — live in the predictor.
| Seat tier (indicative) | Typical demand | What tends to close earliest |
|---|---|---|
| Clinical MD/MS at GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu, SKIMS | Very high | Radiodiagnosis, Dermatology, General Medicine, Orthopaedics |
| Core MD/MS at newer district GMCs | High to moderate | Paediatrics, OBG, Anaesthesia, General Surgery |
| Pre / para-clinical MD (Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, etc.) | Moderate to lower | Often open at wider ranks |
| DNB / DrNB at government hospitals | Moderate | Varies widely by hospital and speciality |
AIQ vs J&K state quota — where do you stand?
The same college can close at one rank in AIQ and a completely different rank in the state quota. Compare both routes for your rank in one view and pick the channel that actually gets you a seat.
What are the indicative fees, stipend and bond for PG in J&K?
Government PG in J&K is heavily subsidised, so tuition at the GMCs and SKIMS is typically modest, while ASCOMS (private) and some private DNB hospitals cost more. PG residents draw a monthly stipend, and J&K state-quota PG graduates are generally required to serve a rural/UT service bond after completion. Exact numbers change year to year and by college — the ranges below are indicative bands only; confirm the current figure for each seat before you commit.
| Seat / college type | Indicative annual tuition | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Government PG (GMC / SKIMS) — state or AIQ | Low (govt-subsidised) | Usually the most affordable; stipend paid; verify current fee |
| Private PG (ASCOMS Jammu) | Substantially higher | Management / NRI tiers differ; verify each tier |
| DNB at government hospital | Low to moderate | Stipend paid; in-service quota on many seats |
| DNB at private hospital | Moderate to higher | Verify per-hospital fee and stipend |
- Do verify every fee, stipend and bond figure against the college's official 2026 counselling notice.
- Do keep your J&K domicile and category certificates ready before state-quota registration opens.
- Do compare AIQ and state-quota options side by side — the same college can differ in fee and cut-off across the two.
- Don't assume AIIMS Vijaypur or NEET-SS branches are part of this counselling — they are not.
- Don't lock choices on last year's ranks alone; use round-wise, category-specific data.
- Don't miss reporting or joining deadlines — an allotted seat can lapse.

Build my personalised listNEET-PG J&K colleges: frequently asked questions
Which is the best NEET-PG college in Jammu & Kashmir?
GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu and SKIMS Srinagar are the most established MD/MS centres, with the newer district GMCs and DNB hospitals widening the options. 'Best' depends on your specialty, rank and quota — run your rank through the predictor to see which of them you can realistically reach.
Does JKBOPEE conduct NEET-PG counselling for the J&K state quota?
Yes. JKBOPEE (jkbopee.gov.in) runs the 50% J&K state (UT) quota counselling for MD/MS/Diploma seats, while the 50% All India Quota and DNB seats are counselled by MCC (mcc.nic.in).
Can non-domicile candidates get a J&K state-quota PG seat?
In practice, no. The J&K state quota is built around UT domicile and is effectively closed to non-domicile candidates. If you are not a J&K domicile, your route into these colleges is the 50% All India Quota via MCC.
How many MD/MS/DNB seats does J&K have?
The MD/MS/Diploma state-quota matrix runs into the low hundreds, and the Centre has sanctioned a large tranche of DNB seats across J&K government hospitals in recent years. Seat counts change every season, so treat any figure as indicative and check the current official matrix — or see the live college-and-seat picture for your rank in the predictor.
Is AIIMS Jammu (Vijaypur) filled through NEET-PG?
No. AIIMS Vijaypur admits MD/MS candidates through INI-CET (conducted by AIIMS New Delhi), which is separate from NEET-PG. It is not part of J&K's NEET-PG counselling.
What NEET-PG 2026 score do I need to qualify?
The 2026 qualifying cut-offs (out of 720) are 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC including PwBD. Clearing the cut-off lets you enter counselling; the seat you get depends on your rank and choices.
Are DNB seats available in Jammu & Kashmir?
Yes — NBEMS has accredited a growing number of government (and some private) hospitals across J&K districts for DNB/DrNB. Many government DNB seats also reserve a share for in-service doctors, and these seats are counselled through MCC.
What is the difference between AIQ and J&K state-quota PG seats?
The 50% All India Quota (MCC) is open to any qualified candidate nationwide; the 50% J&K state quota (JKBOPEE) is domicile-based with the UT's own reservation categories. The same college can carry different cut-offs and fees across the two channels.
What are the PG fees in J&K government colleges?
Government PG tuition at the GMCs and SKIMS is heavily subsidised and typically modest, while ASCOMS and private DNB hospitals cost more. Exact fees vary by college and year — confirm the current figure, or see fees per seat in the predictor.
Is there a service bond after a J&K state-quota PG seat?
Generally yes — J&K state-quota PG graduates are usually required to serve a rural/UT bond after completing the course, with duration and penalty set by that year's rules. Check the current bond terms in the official counselling notice.
How do I know which J&K colleges I can get with my rank?
Enter your NEET-PG 2026 rank and category in the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor. It returns your exact MD/MS/DNB options across MCC AIQ and every state, each with round-wise closing ranks, fees, stipend, bond and an admit-probability for your rank.
