Government MBBS Colleges in Delhi: Seats, Rankings, Fees and NEET Admission Process

Every year, lakhs of medical aspirants across India compete for a small pool of government MBBS seats in the national capital. Delhi continues to be one of the most sought-after destinations for undergraduate medical education due to its low-cost training, high patient inflow, and strong academic ecosystem linked to central institutions.

However, access remains highly competitive. The city offers approximately 1,100 MBBS seats in government medical colleges, based on aggregated intake data from counselling records and institutional seat matrices.

In comparison, more than 22 lakh candidates register annually for the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG), according to the National Testing Agency. As the single entrance exam for MBBS admissions in India, NEET determines access to all government medical colleges, including those in Delhi.

This sharp imbalance between limited seats and a large applicant base drives some of the highest cutoff ranks in the country, making admission to Delhi’s government medical colleges particularly challenging.

Admission to MBBS programmes in Delhi government colleges follows a centralised NEET-based system.
