Why Choose Uttarakhand for MBBS?
Uttarakhand is a popular choice for MBBS in India due to its growing medical education infrastructure and moderate competition. The state has 10 medical colleges offering around 1,450 MBBS seats, providing good opportunities for NEET aspirants in both government and private institutions.
A major advantage of pursuing MBBS in Uttarakhand is the availability of management quota seats in private medical colleges, which are open to students from all states through state counselling. This makes Uttarakhand an attractive option for non-domicile candidates who may not secure seats in their home states.
However, candidates should note that management quota fees for non-native students are significantly higher than state quota fees for Uttarakhand domicile holders.
