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.
