NEET-PG Colleges in Uttarakhand 2026: MD/MS/DNB Seats, Cut-offs & Fees

Looking for NEET PG colleges in Uttarakhand for the 2026 session? This is your complete, plain-English guide to MD, MS and DNB admission in the state — the colleges, the counselling authority, the quota split, indicative cut-offs and fee bands, and the exact steps to a seat. Uttarakhand's PG state-quota counselling is run by the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), Dehradun, through its portal hnbumu.ac.in, while the remaining 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats are filled by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). NEET-PG 2026 results were declared on 24 September 2026 by NBEMS, so this is the moment to convert your rank into a real, ranked list of Uttarakhand PG medical colleges.

Which PG medical colleges are in Uttarakhand?

Uttarakhand is a compact but high-value PG destination: a handful of government medical colleges, a private/state-university college, one deemed university, and the marquee AIIMS Rishikesh. One important accuracy note up front — AIIMS Rishikesh and other Institutes of National Importance (INIs) admit MD/MS through INI-CET, a separate exam, NOT through NEET-PG counselling. Everything else below sits inside the NEET-PG ecosystem (MCC AIQ + HNBUMU state quota, and MCC deemed counselling for the deemed university).

• Doon Medical College, Dehradun — government, state capital teaching hospital
• Government Medical College (GMC), Haldwani — long-established government college in Kumaon
• Soban Singh Jeena (SSJ) Government Institute of Medical Science & Research, Almora
• Veer Chandra Singh Garhwali (VCSG) Government Institute of Medical Science & Research, Srinagar (Pauri Garhwal)
• Government Medical Colleges at Haridwar and Rudrapur (newer government institutions)
• SGRR (Shri Guru Ram Rai) Institute of Medical & Health Sciences, Dehradun — private / state university, participates in AIQ + state quota
• Himalayan Institute of Medical Sciences (HIMS), SRHU, Jolly Grant, Dehradun — deemed university, admitted via MCC deemed counselling
• AIIMS Rishikesh — INI, MD/MS via INI-CET (separate from NEET-PG)

Who runs Uttarakhand NEET-PG counselling?

Two authorities matter for a Uttarakhand PG seat. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) fills 50% All India Quota seats in government colleges plus deemed/central institutes through mcc.nic.in. The Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU), Dehradun, fills the 50% state quota (MD/MS/PG Diploma) in government and participating private colleges through hnbumu.ac.in. HNBUMU also administers the state's bonafide/hill provisions. Both routes are multi-round with round-wise closing ranks, so registering in the right one — often both — is the first strategic decision.

How does the Uttarakhand state quota work?

The HNBUMU state quota is where Uttarakhand candidates get their biggest edge. State-quota merit is built from your NEET-PG 2026 All India Rank, then applied against Uttarakhand's own reservation and bonafide/hill rules. In practice, a domicile or bonafide candidate can often secure a government MD/MS seat at a state-quota rank that would not clear the same college through open all-India competition — which is exactly why registering for HNBUMU matters even if your rank looks mid-pack. Always confirm the current-year bonafide definition, hill-quota share and document list in the official HNBUMU information brochure before you fill choices.

• Eligibility runs on your NEET-PG 2026 rank plus Uttarakhand bonafide/domicile status
• Bonafide and hill-area provisions can materially improve your reach — keep documents ready
• Reservation follows state categories in addition to the NEET-PG qualifying framework
• It is a multi-round process (fresh, upgradation and mop-up style rounds) — plan choices for every round
• You can pursue AIQ (MCC) and state quota (HNBUMU) in parallel — most serious aspirants do

AIQ vs Uttarakhand state quota: which should you choose?

You don't have to choose only one — but you should understand the trade-off. AIQ (MCC) opens government seats across the whole country and all deemed institutes, ideal if you are open to leaving the state for a better branch or brand. The Uttarakhand state quota (HNBUMU) is where home-state candidates convert domicile advantage into a government seat at lower fees. The strongest strategy for most Uttarakhand aspirants is to run both and let round-wise closing ranks decide.

What are the fees and stipend for PG in Uttarakhand?

Fees swing enormously by college type. Government MD/MS seats — through either AIQ or HNBUMU state quota — carry the lowest tuition, which is why they are the most fiercely contested. Private and state-university colleges cost more, and the deemed university (HIMS/SRHU) sits at the top, especially on management/NRI seats. PG residents also draw a monthly stipend that varies between government and private/deemed institutions. The bands below are indicative only — never lock a decision on them. Always verify the current-year fee, stipend and bond on the official college and counselling documents, and use the predictor to see the numbers attached to your own shortlist.

• Government (state quota / AIQ): lowest tuition — indicative low bands, best value if your rank clears it
• Private / state university (e.g. SGRR): mid-to-high tuition, varies by branch and quota
• Deemed university (HIMS/SRHU): highest tuition, with management and NRI seats costing the most
• Stipend: typically higher and more predictable at government colleges than private/deemed — confirm current rates
• Bond: some government seats carry a service bond — read the counselling brochure carefully before you commit

How competitive are Uttarakhand government seats?

Start with the national floor. For NEET-PG 2026, the qualifying cut-offs (out of 720) are 262 for General/EWS, 244 for General-PwBD, and 226 for SC/ST/OBC including PwBD. But qualifying only makes you eligible — it does not get you a seat. Actual admission depends on closing ranks, which vary by college, branch, quota, category and round. Popular clinical branches (Radiology, Dermatology, General Medicine) at government colleges close at far sharper ranks than pre/para-clinical branches. Because these numbers shift every single round, we never quote a fixed college-branch closing rank as fact — check yours in the predictor.

• DO register for both MCC (AIQ) and HNBUMU (state quota) to maximise your seat chances
• DO keep bonafide/domicile, hill-area and category documents verified and ready before choice filling
• DO fill a long, honest choice list — reach, target and safe branches in every round
• DON'T rely on last year's screenshot cut-offs; closing ranks move each round and each year
• DON'T skip a round hoping for an upgrade without understanding the resign/forfeit and bond rules
• DON'T confuse AIIMS Rishikesh (INI-CET) with NEET-PG counselling — they are separate
