Together, they offer 750 MBBS seats for the 2026-27 session.

Below you’ll find each college’s seat intake, full fee and hostel breakdown, attached teaching hospital and bed strength, campus facilities, and NEET UG cutoff trends for both All India and state quota.
Who manages NEET UG Counselling in Uttarakhand?
Uttarakhand NEET UG Counselling 2026 for 85% state quota in government medical colleges and 100% of seats in private colleges is managed by the Hemwati Nandan Bahuguna Uttarakhand Medical Education University (HNBUMU). However, 15% All India Quota is managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) nationwide.
Are you thinking about whether Uttarakhand is an open state for NEET counselling? It is — non-domicile candidates can take AIQ seats through MCC, plus open and management-quota seats in the state’s private colleges through HNBUMU counselling. The one thing closed to them is the 85% state quota in government colleges, which needs Uttarakhand domicile. Here’s the breakdown.
| Particular | AIQ Counselling | State Quota Counselling |
|---|---|---|
| Managed By | Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) | HNBUMU |
| Seat Availability | 15% of total seats in State Government Medical Colleges, plus 100% seats at AIIMS Rishikesh and all Deemed universities | 85% of seats in state government colleges and 100% of seats in the state’s private medical colleges. |
| Eligibility | Open for all NEET UG qualified candidates nationwide. | Primarily reserved for Uttarakhand domicile. Some management quota/ open category seats in private colleges are open for all candidates. |
| Counselling Process | Handled by MCC using AIQ in multiple rounds (Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up and stray vacancy) | Handled via HNBUMU, and a separate state merit list is generated using NEET UG score. |
| Cutoff Trends | More competitive. only top-ranking candidates secure government MBBS seats in Uttarakhand | Lower than AIQ |

The Best Ways of Choosing the Right College for You
Here’s a simple checklist you can actually use while shortlisting:
- Clinical exposure – A busy teaching hospital gives you more opportunities to learn real medicine, not just theory. The variety of cases you see during MBBS will directly shape your confidence as a doctor.
- Environment – Some students thrive in the calm and focus of a hill campus, while others feel more motivated in the bustle of a city like Dehradun or Haldwani. Think honestly about where you will feel less distracted and more productive.
- Fees and bonds – Government colleges in Uttarakhand have reasonable costs, but some seats come with a service bond. A bond usually means you’ll need to serve in state hospitals for a few years after graduation, so weigh whether lower fees are worth that commitment.
- Hostel life and amenities – Hostel lodging is inexpensive, but day-to-day life largely depends on the quality of the mess, Wi-Fi, and room conditions. Talking to seniors or joining student groups on social media is the best way to get an unfiltered picture.
- Long-term goals – If you plan to pursue PG right after MBBS, choose a college that already offers postgraduate courses and has experienced faculty. It helps to study in an ecosystem where you can stay for higher training without starting over in a new city.
Conclusion
Uttarakhand’s government medical colleges may be limited in number, but they provide solid clinical exposure, affordable fees, and decent hostel facilities. Each college has its own character, whether it is the national reputation of AIIMS Rishikesh, the busy hospitals of Haldwani and Doon, or the peaceful settings of Almora and Srinagar. If you choose based on your comfort, career goals, and learning style, any of these colleges can give you the right foundation to become a confident doctor.
