MCC vs KEA — Which PG Counselling Applies to You?
PG MBBS admission in India runs through NEET-PG, but the counselling body depends on the seat category. Understanding this early avoids missed deadlines and wasted rounds.
MCC (Medical Counselling Committee)

KEA (Karnataka Examinations Authority)
Conducts PG medical (MD/MS/Diploma) counselling for Karnataka state-quota seats (the remaining 50% of government college seats), and also coordinates admission to private/deemed college management and NRI quota PG seats within the state — separate registration and portal from MCC. See our dedicated NEET PG Karnataka (KEA) counselling guide →.
✅ NMC / State Medical Council permanent or provisional registration
✅ NEET-PG admit card & scorecard
