If you registered for Tripura's state-quota NEET UG 2026 counselling, there is a document you cannot afford to skip before filling your choices: the Round 1 seat matrix. The Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Tripura, released this list on the TRMCC portal on August 21, 2026, showing exactly how many MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS and BASLP seats are up for grabs in each college, broken down by category. Registration for Round 1 had opened on August 18, 2026 at 3 PM, and the seat matrix is the next checkpoint before candidates lock their preferences. Getting this reading right matters more than it seems — a preference list built without checking real vacancies is a wasted opportunity in a single-round-per-cycle system.
Before locking Round 1 choices in Tripura NEET UG counselling, check the official seat matrix for your exact category and course, since it lists real, college-wise vacancies and is provisional and subject to revision.
What the seat matrix actually tells you
A seat matrix is not the same as a college's total intake capacity. It is the number of seats being offered specifically in that round of counselling, split by course, college, and reservation category — General, OBC, SC, ST, EWS and PwD (persons with disability).
Tripura's Round 1 matrix covers only the 85 percent state quota seats managed by TRMCC. The remaining 15 percent All India Quota (AIQ) seats in Tripura's colleges are allotted separately through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at the central level, so candidates should not look for those seats in this state document.
MBBS and BDS seats on offer in Tripura
Tripura currently has three MBBS colleges and one dental college listed in the Round 1 matrix, along with AYUSH courses (BAMS, BHMS) and BASLP (Bachelor of Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology) seats. The intake figures below are the total sanctioned seats for each institution; the actual state-quota vacancy count per category will be lower and specific to the matrix PDF.
| College | Course | Total Intake |
|---|---|---|
| Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) | MBBS | 125 |
| Tripura Medical College and Dr BRAM Teaching Hospital, Hapania | MBBS | 100 |
| Tripura Santiniketan Medical College | MBBS | 150 |
| Agartala Government Dental College (AGDC) | BDS | 63 |
Why the matrix is tentative — and what that means for you
DME Tripura has flagged the released matrix as tentative, meaning it can be revised before or during the choice-filling window. Such revisions typically happen if a college's seat count is updated by the Medical Council/regulatory body, or if data entry corrections are needed.
Practically, this means candidates should not memorise seat numbers and stop checking the portal. Re-visit the TRMCC website closer to your choice-locking date to confirm the final numbers, especially for your specific category, before submitting your preference order.

It is available as a PDF on the official TRMCC portal at trmcc.admissions.nic.in, under the UG Counselling section's Latest News tab.
Does this seat matrix include All India Quota seats?
No. It covers only the 85 percent state quota seats managed by Tripura's counselling committee. The 15 percent All India Quota seats in Tripura colleges are allotted separately by the MCC.
Can the number of seats in the matrix change later?
Yes. DME Tripura has described the Round 1 matrix as tentative, so it may be revised before choice locking closes. Always check the portal again closer to your deadline.
Which colleges are covered in Tripura's Round 1 matrix?
Agartala Government Medical College, Tripura Medical College and Dr BRAM Teaching Hospital (Hapania), Tripura Santiniketan Medical College for MBBS, and Agartala Government Dental College for BDS, along with AYUSH and BASLP seats at other institutions listed in the matrix.
What documents should I keep ready before choice filling?
Your NEET UG 2026 scorecard, domicile proof, and category certificate (if applicable) should be ready, since these are typically required at verification and reporting stages after allotment.
When will Round 1 allotment results be announced?
DME Tripura has not fixed a date yet; it will be notified separately on the TRMCC portal after choice filling and locking are completed.
Tripura-registered candidates should treat the seat matrix as a working document, not a one-time read — recheck it right before locking choices in case of revisions. Keep an eye on the TRMCC portal for the choice-filling window dates and the Round 1 allotment result announcement.
