What are the key differences between AIQ and State Quota counseling that every aspirant should know.

After NEET PG in counselling, Can you tell me the key differences between AIQ and State Quota counseling that we should know

AIQ counseling offers all-India seats with broader choices; State Quota counseling reserves seats for local candidates, often with domicile requirements, and usually has limited seat options compared to AIQ.

The key differences between AIQ and State Quota are:

  1. Seat allocation: AIQ (15% seats across India), State Quota (85% seats within the state).

  2. Eligibility: AIQ (open to all), State Quota (limited to state domicile).

  3. Counseling: AIQ (centralized by MCC), State Quota (by state authorities).

These differences impact seat availability and candidate eligibility.

AIQ (All India Quota) allows candidates from any state to apply for 50% of seats in government medical colleges across India (except J&K).

State Quota reserves 50% of seats for domicile candidates of that particular state.
