If you are hunting for NEET PG colleges in Nagpur, the city gives you a compact but powerful shortlist of MD, MS and DNB seats — anchored by two large government teaching hospitals, a couple of established private and deemed institutes, and a growing pool of DNB training hospitals. With NEET-PG 2026 results declared by NBEMS on 24 September 2026 and roughly 2.66 lakh candidates in the fray, Nagpur is a serious target for aspirants across Vidarbha, Maharashtra and beyond. This guide maps every NEET-PG pathway into the city — GMC Nagpur, IGGMC, NKP Salve, Datta Meghe (DMIMS) and DNB hospitals — plus how All India Quota and Maharashtra state-quota counselling actually decide who gets in.
Instead of scrolling generic cut-off lists, enter your NEET-PG rank and category into the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor. It returns a personalised, exact 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. No guesswork, just your realistic Nagpur options.
Which medical colleges in Nagpur offer NEET-PG MD/MS/DNB seats?
Nagpur's PG landscape splits cleanly into three buckets: government colleges (NEET-PG via both All India Quota and Maharashtra state quota), private and deemed institutes (higher fees, different counselling routes), and NBEMS-accredited DNB hospitals. One name that surprises many aspirants sits outside NEET-PG entirely — AIIMS Nagpur admits its PG doctors through INI-CET, a separate exam. Here is the indicative map (always confirm the current seat matrix on the official portal and in the predictor).
| Institute | Type | PG entrance route | Notes (indicative — verify) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Government Medical College (GMC) Nagpur | Government | NEET-PG: 50% AIQ (MCC) + 50% Maharashtra state quota | One of Vidarbha's largest MD/MS programmes across many disciplines |
| Indira Gandhi Govt Medical College & Hospital (IGGMC) | Government | NEET-PG: 50% AIQ (MCC) + 50% state quota | Broad MD/MS disciplines; strong clinical exposure |
| NKP Salve Institute (Lata Mangeshkar Hospital) | Private | NEET-PG via state / institutional counselling | MD/MS across several clinical & pre-clinical branches |
| Datta Meghe Medical College (DMIMS group) | Deemed university | NEET-PG via MCC (deemed counselling) | Deemed seats allotted through MCC, not state quota |
| DNB hospitals (e.g., Daga Memorial, Alexis Multispecialty) | Govt / private DNB | NEET-PG via MCC DNB/DrNB counselling | DNB post-MBBS seats; specialities vary by hospital |
| AIIMS Nagpur | Institute of National Importance | INI-CET (NOT NEET-PG) | Separate exam — outside NEET-PG counselling |

See My Nagpur College ListWhat are the NEET-PG 2026 cut-offs, and how do they apply to Nagpur?
First, do not confuse two very different numbers. The NEET-PG qualifying cut-off is the minimum score you need just to be eligible for counselling. The college closing rank is the last rank actually admitted to a specific speciality at a specific college — that is what decides Nagpur admission, and it is far more competitive. Here are the grounded NEET-PG 2026 qualifying cut-offs declared by NBEMS.
- General / EWS: 262 out of 720 (qualifying cut-off)
- General-PwBD: 244 out of 720
- SC / ST / OBC (including PwBD): 226 out of 720
- Qualifying only clears you for counselling — it does NOT guarantee a Nagpur seat
- Actual GMC / IGGMC / private closing ranks sit well above the qualifying line, and vary sharply by speciality and round
Because closing ranks swing enormously — a Radio-Diagnosis or Dermatology seat closes at a vastly sharper rank than a pre-clinical MD, and government seats close tighter than private ones — quoting a single 'Nagpur cut-off' is misleading. The only reliable read is your rank against live, round-wise closing data for each speciality, which is exactly what the predictor does.

GMC Nagpur vs IGGMC: what's the difference for PG aspirants?
The two big government engines of Nagpur PG are Government Medical College (GMC) Nagpur and Indira Gandhi Government Medical College & Hospital (IGGMC). Both admit through NEET-PG on the same 50% AIQ + 50% state-quota split, both offer low government fee bands, and both carry the Maharashtra government-seat service bond. GMC runs the larger overall PG programme; IGGMC offers a broad spread with strong clinical volume. The right pick depends on your rank, the exact speciality, and whether you are chasing an AIQ or a domicile-based state seat.
| Factor | GMC Nagpur (indicative) | IGGMC Nagpur (indicative) |
|---|---|---|
| Ownership | Government (State of Maharashtra) | Government (State of Maharashtra) |
| NEET-PG routes | 50% AIQ via MCC + 50% state via CET Cell | 50% AIQ via MCC + 50% state via CET Cell |
| PG scale | Larger MD/MS programme, many disciplines | Broad MD/MS spread, several disciplines |
| Fee band | Government (low) | Government (low) |
| Service bond | Maharashtra bond applies on govt state-quota seats | Maharashtra bond applies on govt state-quota seats |
| Confirm exact numbers | Seat matrix + closing ranks in predictor | Seat matrix + closing ranks in predictor |
Compare GMC and IGGMC by your own rank
Don't decide from a generic comparison — decide from your rank. The predictor at /predictors/neet-pg/college lines up GMC Nagpur, IGGMC and every alternative side by side, speciality by speciality, for your exact category and rank.
How does NEET-PG counselling work for Nagpur — AIQ vs Maharashtra state quota?
Every government PG seat in Nagpur is split 50-50 between two counselling authorities, and you can — and usually should — participate in both. Understanding which authority controls which seat is the single biggest lever on your Nagpur admission strategy.
- All India Quota (50%): conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at mcc.nic.in — open to candidates nationwide, multi-round (Round 1, Round 2, Round 3, Stray Vacancy)
- Maharashtra state quota (50%): conducted by the State CET Cell (cetcell.mahacet.org) / DMER — primarily for Maharashtra domicile candidates, with its own rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-up, Stray Vacancy)
- Deemed universities like Datta Meghe (DMIMS): allotted through MCC deemed counselling, not the state quota
- DNB seats: allotted through MCC's NEET-PG DNB/DrNB counselling
- You register, verify documents, fill choices online, then report to the allotted college — miss a step in either stream and you forfeit those seats
Maharashtra state-quota seats at GMC and IGGMC are largely reserved for domicile candidates, while AIQ is open to all. If you are a Maharashtra-domicile aspirant, you effectively get two shots at Nagpur government seats; if you are an out-of-state candidate, AIQ and private/deemed routes matter most. The predictor factors your domicile and category so the list you see is the list you can actually apply to.
One list for AIQ and every state seat
Stop toggling between MCC and CET Cell spreadsheets. The MedAdmit predictor combines your MCC All India Quota AND Maharashtra state-quota options into a single ranked list at /predictors/neet-pg/college.
What about private and deemed PG colleges in Nagpur?
If your rank is short of the government cut-offs — or you simply want more seat options — Nagpur's private and deemed institutes widen the funnel considerably. They trade higher fees for easier rank access and, in most cases, no government service bond. DNB hospitals add a further set of recognised post-MBBS training seats that many aspirants overlook.
- NKP Salve Institute of Medical Sciences & Research Centre (Lata Mangeshkar Hospital): private institute with MD/MS across several clinical and pre-clinical branches
- Datta Meghe Medical College (DMIMS group): a deemed university offering MD/MS in disciplines like Medicine, Paediatrics, Pathology, Anaesthesia, Radio-diagnosis and Surgery — admitted via MCC deemed counselling
- DNB hospitals such as Daga Memorial Women Government Hospital and Alexis Multispecialty Hospital: NBEMS-accredited DNB posts in select specialities, allotted through MCC
- Private / deemed seats generally close at wider ranks than government seats — but at materially higher fees
| Seat type | Indicative annual fee band | Bond (indicative) |
|---|---|---|
| Government — AIQ (MCC) | Lowest | Often bond-free (verify) |
| Government — Maharashtra state quota (CET Cell) | Low | Maharashtra service bond may apply |
| Private college (state seats) | Moderate to high | Usually none (verify) |
| Deemed university (MCC) | Highest | Usually none (verify) |
| DNB (govt / private hospital) | Varies widely | Varies by hospital |

See real fees, stipend and bond before you commit
A private or deemed seat can mean very different money over three years. The predictor at /predictors/neet-pg/college shows annual fees, stipend and bond for each Nagpur college beside its closing rank — so you compare on facts, not brochures.
Compare Fees & StipendIs AIIMS Nagpur part of NEET-PG counselling?
No — and this trips up a lot of aspirants. AIIMS Nagpur admits its MD/MS doctors through INI-CET (the Institutes of National Importance Combined Entrance Test), a completely separate exam from NEET-PG. The same applies to PGIMER, JIPMER and NIMHANS PG seats. So while AIIMS Nagpur is physically in the city, it will never appear in your NEET-PG counselling list. Similarly, super-speciality DM/MCh seats are filled through NEET-SS, another separate exam — this guide and the College Predictor stay focused on NEET-PG medical PG: MD, MS, DNB, DrNB (direct 6-year) and PG-Diploma.
Focus only on seats you can actually win with NEET-PG
LockedSkip the INI-CET and NEET-SS noise. The predictor at /predictors/neet-pg/college lists only the NEET-PG MD/MS/DNB seats your rank qualifies for — in Nagpur and everywhere else you might consider.
Find My MD/MS/DNB SeatsHow should you build a smart Nagpur PG choice list?
The candidates who convert Nagpur seats are not always the highest rankers — they are the ones who fill choices intelligently across both counselling streams. A balanced choice list mixes ambition with insurance so you never crash out empty-handed in a late round.
- Reach: sharper government specialities at GMC / IGGMC where your rank is on the edge — worth listing high in case ranks loosen in later rounds
- Target: specialities and colleges where your rank sits comfortably inside recent closing bands
- Safe: private, deemed and DNB options that reliably close beyond your rank, so you always have a seat to fall back on
- Play both streams: enter Maharashtra state quota (if domicile) AND All India Quota, and track deemed/DNB via MCC
- Round strategy: understand upgrade rules and reporting deadlines before Round 1 — a missed report can cost you the seat and forfeit your fee

Build My Choice ListNEET-PG 2026 Nagpur colleges — frequently asked questions
Which are the top NEET-PG medical colleges in Nagpur?
The two flagship government options are Government Medical College (GMC) Nagpur and Indira Gandhi Government Medical College & Hospital (IGGMC), both admitting via NEET-PG. Private and deemed options include NKP Salve Institute (Lata Mangeshkar Hospital) and Datta Meghe Medical College (DMIMS). AIIMS Nagpur is a top institute but admits PG via INI-CET, not NEET-PG.
How many MD/MS PG seats does GMC Nagpur have?
GMC Nagpur runs one of Vidarbha's largest PG programmes spanning many MD/MS disciplines. Exact seat counts change each session with the official matrix, so treat any single number as indicative and confirm the live seat matrix — or check your reachable seats directly in the College Predictor.
Is IGGMC Nagpur good for MD/MS?
IGGMC is a well-regarded government teaching hospital with a broad MD/MS spread and strong clinical volume. Like GMC, its seats split 50% AIQ (MCC) and 50% Maharashtra state quota (CET Cell). Whether a specific speciality is realistic for you depends entirely on your NEET-PG rank and category.
What NEET-PG rank do I need for GMC Nagpur?
There is no single answer — closing ranks vary sharply by speciality (Radio-Diagnosis and Dermatology close far tighter than pre-clinical branches), by category, by AIQ vs state quota, and by round. The reliable way to know is to run your exact rank against round-wise closing data in the predictor.
Does AIIMS Nagpur accept NEET-PG for MD/MS?
No. AIIMS Nagpur admits PG students through INI-CET, a separate entrance exam. NEET-PG scores are not used for AIIMS PG seats, so AIIMS Nagpur will not appear in your NEET-PG counselling list.
What is the difference between AIQ and Maharashtra state quota in Nagpur?
Government PG seats are split 50-50. The All India Quota (50%) is run by MCC (mcc.nic.in) and is open nationwide. The Maharashtra state quota (50%) is run by the State CET Cell (cetcell.mahacet.org) and is largely for Maharashtra domicile candidates. Eligible candidates should participate in both streams.
Which authority conducts Maharashtra NEET-PG counselling?
The Maharashtra state-quota NEET-PG counselling is conducted by the State Common Entrance Test Cell (CET Cell) / DMER via cetcell.mahacet.org, across multiple rounds including a mop-up and stray vacancy round. The 50% All India Quota is handled separately by MCC.
Do I need Maharashtra domicile for state-quota seats in Nagpur?
Yes — Maharashtra state-quota seats at Nagpur government colleges are largely reserved for domicile candidates. Out-of-state aspirants typically compete through the All India Quota and private/deemed routes instead. The predictor filters options by your domicile so you only see what you can apply to.
Are there DNB seats in Nagpur?
Yes. NBEMS-accredited hospitals in Nagpur — such as Daga Memorial Women Government Hospital and Alexis Multispecialty Hospital — offer DNB post-MBBS seats in select specialities, allotted through MCC's NEET-PG DNB counselling. Available DNB posts vary by hospital and session.
What are the fees for private and deemed PG colleges in Nagpur?
Government seats carry the lowest fees; private college seats are moderate-to-high; deemed university seats (like Datta Meghe) are usually the highest. Exact figures change yearly and by speciality, so use them as indicative bands and verify each college's real fee, stipend and bond in the predictor before deciding.
Is there a service bond for PG in Maharashtra?
Government state-quota PG seats in Maharashtra generally carry a compulsory service bond (with a penalty for non-compliance), while private, deemed and many AIQ government seats often do not. Bond terms are reviewed periodically, so always confirm the current bond for your specific seat type.
How do I find the exact colleges I'll get with my NEET-PG rank?
Enter your NEET-PG 2026 rank and category into the MedAdmit NEET-PG College Predictor at /predictors/neet-pg/college. It returns a personalised, accurate list of MD/MS/DNB colleges and specialities — in Nagpur and across MCC AIQ and every state — each with round-wise closing ranks, fees, stipend, bond and admit-probability.
