  • Lock choices only for colleges and courses you are willing to join, in strict order of preference.
  • Use the NEET PG College Predictor and last year’s cutoffs to build a mix of safe, moderate and ambitious choices.
  • Non-domicile candidates should focus on management quota seats in MP, and on MCC AIQ for government colleges.
  • Read the rural service and seat-leaving bond conditions before accepting a seat.
  • In-service candidates should follow the open-category registration instructions and keep service documents ready.
  • Compare tuition and stipend before locking; see deemed/private MD-MS fees and state-wise stipend.
  • Track MCC and DME MP schedules together so an AIQ allotment does not clash with your state round.
