Admission Process, Seat Distribution, and Counselling Pathway for MD/MS in Odisha

Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is responsible for conducting counselling for 50% All India Quota seats of all states including Odisha. Counselling for 100% seats of Deemed universities is also the responsibility of MCC. So, counselling of Odisha deemed universities are done entirely by MCC. Counselling of 50% state quota seats is the responsibility of Directorate of medical education & training, Odisha, Bhubaneswar. This includes state-quota in-service seats. Counselling of all seats including management quota seats in HITECH Medical College, Rourkela & HITECH Medical College, Bhubaneswar is also the responsibility of DMET, Odisha.

Like any other state of India, admission for MD/MS courses in the state of Odisha happens through the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test for Postgraduate (NEET-PG), which serves as the only gateway for PG medical admissions across India. Both MCC and DMET, Odisha conduct counselling on the basis of NEET-PG.

Reservation

Reservation for state quota seats - The reservation percentage for both Direct and In-service category will be 12% for ST category, 8% for SC category, 5% for PH(PwD) and 5% for Green Card (GC) category, 67% for UR category, and 3% for Ex-Servicemen (Ex-S) category. The subjects in which seats are increased under EWS quota shall be available to EWS candidates only. The state quota seats are distributed between In-service and Direct candidates of state on 50:50 basis.

Reservation for AIQ seats - For PG medical seats under the 50% AIQ in government colleges of Odisha, the reservation policy follows central government norms:

• SC (Scheduled Castes) = 15%.
• EWS (Economically Weaker Sections) = 10%.
• PwBD / PwD (Persons with Benchmark Disabilities) = 5% horizontal reservation across all categories.

Domicile based reservation - As per the Supreme Court's ruling of January 2025, domicile-based reservations for PG medical courses are unconstitutional. Consequently, eligibility for state quota seats in Odisha is now based on merit and other valid criteria, not on domicile.
