Delhi has India's most prestigious MBBS colleges — AIIMS New Delhi, MAMC, LHMC, UCMS and Safdarjung. Complete guide to seats, cutoffs, fees and admission strategy.
Delhi is home to India's most prestigious medical institutions — AIIMS New Delhi (ranked #1 in India), Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC), Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC), and UCMS. With only 11 medical colleges and 1,950+ MBBS seats, Delhi has the smallest MBBS seat pool among major states but the highest prestige.
Extremely Competitive: Delhi is a closed UT — only Delhi domicile holders qualify for 85% state quota seats. AIIMS New Delhi requires a national rank in the top 50–200 for General category. MAMC and LHMC cutoffs for Delhi state quota are among the highest in India. Most Delhi students are advised to also explore Maharashtra, Karnataka, and UP as backup options.

| Maulana Azad Medical College (MAMC) | New Delhi | Government | 250 | ₹5,000 |
| Lady Hardinge Medical College (LHMC) | New Delhi | Central | 200 | ₹2,000 |
| University College of Medical Sciences (UCMS) | Delhi | Government | 150 | ₹8,000 |

Note: Delhi has NO private medical colleges. All MBBS colleges in Delhi are government-run, central government, or municipal institutions. Management quota is therefore NOT available in Delhi. Students seeking management quota MBBS must look at other states — Karnataka, Maharashtra, UP, and Rajasthan are popular alternatives.
Delhi cutoffs are among the highest in India due to extremely limited seats and high competition from Delhi domicile students.

No. AIIMS New Delhi has its own separate national counselling through aiimsexams.ac.in. It's not part of Delhi state quota or MCC AIQ counselling. All India merit only — requires top 50–200 AIR for General category. AIIMS conducts its own centralised counselling for all AIIMS campuses across India.
No. Delhi has absolutely no private medical colleges, therefore management quota MBBS is not available in Delhi. Students who miss Delhi state quota should explore Karnataka, Maharashtra, UP, and Rajasthan for management quota options. Archway helps Delhi students navigate these alternatives.
MAMC Delhi is one of the most competitive MBBS colleges in India. Based on 2025 data, Delhi state quota General category requires approximately 660–680 NEET marks. OBC candidates need around 635–655 marks. Even for SC candidates, a score above 510 is typically required for MAMC through Delhi state quota.
Non-Delhi domicile students can only access 15% AIQ seats through MCC counselling in Delhi government colleges. These AIQ seats are highly competitive at national level. For AIIMS New Delhi, only merit matters — no domicile requirement — but competition is national and intense.
