Goa has very limited management quota options. AIIMS Goa is a central institution filled through AIIMS national counselling. Goa students are strongly advised to also register for Maharashtra CET Cell and Karnataka KEA counselling.
Management quota process starts after all regular counselling rounds complete. Typically October–November 2026.
Each college fills its management quota seats independently. Contact the admissions office with your NEET scorecard and documents.
Ensure the college and admission process is approved by DGHS Goa (Directorate of Health Services) / NMC. Never pay without an official allotment letter.
Pay fees via official channels (DD/bank transfer) to the college. Get receipts for all payments. Complete document submission and formalities.
