Meghalaya has very limited private MBBS options locally. Students are advised to register for Assam state counselling and explore management quota seats across India — particularly in Karnataka, Maharashtra, and UP.
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 Meghalaya State Medical Counselling / 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.
