Meghalaya NEET PG Seat Matrix 2026: College-Wise MD/MS Seats, etc.

The Meghalaya NEET PG seat matrix shows the seats in the state’s medical colleges for postgraduate studies. It is a reference for candidates to choose their preferred college and specialty at the time of NEET PG counselling. Meghalaya has a single PG medical institute, the North Eastern Indira Gandhi Regional Institute of Health and Medical Sciences (NEIGRIHMS), Shillong, which offers 35 MD/MS seats across 15 specialties, and there are no private medical colleges offering PG seats in the state. NEET PG 2026 result was declared on September 24, 2026, so candidates can now start planning their choices for both MCC (AIQ) and Meghalaya state counselling.

Here, you will learn about the Meghalaya NEET PG Seat Matrix, including the list of PG colleges, specialty-wise seats, quota-wise distribution, eligibility, and the counselling process. It helps students understand their options for admission into MD, MS, and other postgraduate medical courses in Meghalaya for the 2026-27 academic year.

Documents Required for Meghalaya NEET PG

Keep the following documents ready before registration and reporting:

• NEET PG 2026 admit card and scorecard
• MBBS degree/provisional certificate and mark sheets of all years
• Internship completion certificate
• Medical registration certificate (NMC/State Medical Council)
• Photo ID proof (Aadhaar Card/PAN Card/Passport/Driving License)
• Date of birth proof (Class 10 certificate or equivalent)
• Domicile certificate of a North Eastern state, for Open North Eastern seats
• Caste/category certificate (SC/ST/OBC) or EWS/PwBD certificate, if applicable
• NEIGRIHMS MBBS pass-out proof, for the pass-out seats
• Passport-size photographs and online registration receipt

How to Use the Seat Matrix During Choice Filling

• Check your NEET PG 2026 rank and category and decide whether you qualify for AIQ, North East Open, or the Pass Out category.
• Note the seat depth: Most specialties have only 2 seats, and the Pass Out and North East Open seats are even fewer. A single vacancy can change your chances.
• Compare specialties before filling choices: Check the specialty-wise table above, and use the NEET PG College Predictor 2026 with your rank.
• Track later rounds: NEIGRIHMS relaxed its eligibility cutoff to the 7th percentile by Round 3 last year, so a missed Round 1 is not always the end.
• Check bond and stipend terms in the NEIGRIHMS prospectus, and compare with other states using State-Wise Bond for NEET PG and State-Wise NEET PG Stipend. Sources disagree on Meghalaya’s bond terms, so rely on the official prospectus.
• Keep a backup: Fill choices in other states and deemed universities in case you are not allotted a seat in Meghalaya.
• Recheck before every round: NMC can revise the matrix, and MCC verifies seats with colleges just before each round.

Meghalaya NEET PG Counselling Process

NEIGRIHMS counselling is held in hybrid mode (online and offline) at Shillong. Based on the 2025-26 cycle, the steps generally follow this order. Exact dates and steps are announced in the official NEIGRIHMS notice on neigrihms.gov.in:

1. Watch for the notice: NEIGRIHMS publishes the vacancy list and the number of candidates called under North East Open and Pass Out for each round.
2. Confirm participation: Candidates attending online email their name, NEET PG roll number, rank, category, and contact details to the academic section (ar-academic@neigrihms.gov.in) by the stated deadline.
3. Attend counselling: Seats are allotted on NEET PG merit among eligible applicants. The counselling itself carries no marks.
4. Document verification: Original documents are verified, and certificates in any language other than Hindi or English need a Gazetted Officer’s translation.
5. Pay the admission fee: The fee was ₹69,000 in 2025-26, paid by NEFT/RTGS within the stated deadline.
6. Report to the institute: Non-reporting by the stipulated date cancels the provisional allotment.
7. Further rounds: Later rounds need a fresh application and a small counselling fee (₹1,000 in Round 3 last year).
