1. Understanding the Delhi MBBS Counseling Unlike standard states where a single state authority manages 85% of institutional seats, Delhi’s medical admissions are uniquely structured. All medical colleges in Delhi are affiliated with prominent central universities, splitting the counseling process into specialized institutional channels managed centrally.

The Twin Counseling Authorities:

• Medical Counseling Committee (MCC): Responsible for conducting 100% All India Quota (AIQ) counseling, as well as institutional quotas for Central Universities (Delhi University – DU) and Central Institutions (VMMC & ABVIMS affiliated with IPU).
• Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU): Responsible for processing specific state quota seats, specialized category allocations, and institutional seats for Guru Gobind Singh Indraprastha University (GGSIPU) specialized programs and Army College of Medical Sciences.

Seat Quota Distribution Model:

• All India Quota (15%): Open to NEET-qualified aspirants nationwide strictly on an all-India merit basis.
• Delhi State Quota (85%): Exclusively reserved for students who completed their Class 11 and 12 education from a recognized school located inside the National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi.

Institutional Quotas: Specific allocations inside premium institutes based on institutional lineage (e.g., DU internal system, IP University priority, or Ward of Army Personnel)
