How to use the matrix safely
Filter first by pathway: government MD/MS, government PG Diploma, eligible in-service DNB/NBEMS, or private MD/MS.
Verify category, female, DQ, minority and NRI eligibility before adding a seat to the preference list.
Compare annual and total fees, deposit, hostel/mess charges, stipend, bond/service obligation, discontinuation penalty, recognition, clinical exposure and workload from authoritative sources.
Order choices by genuine preference. Allotment depends on NEET-PG rank, eligibility, category/quota, choice order, seat availability and round movement.
Data caution: This is an official counselling seat matrix, not merely a permission/recognition list. It does not by itself revise fees, stipend, bond rules or course recognition. No new cutoff is created until an official allotment result is available.
