Sikkim NEET UG Counselling 2026: Dates, Eligibility, Application Process & Seat Allotment

The Sikkim NEET UG Counselling 2026 is the official admission process for medical aspirants seeking MBBS and BDS seats under the state quota. The counselling is regulated and administered by the Directorate of Technical Education, Human Resource Development Department (HRDD), Government of Sikkim. Admissions are granted strictly on the basis of the merit achieved in the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET UG) 2026. Because Sikkim has only one private medical college, the counselling process primarily focuses on allocating the highly coveted state government quota seats (both free-ship and full-payment) at this institute, along with seats allocated to Sikkim from the Central Pool.
