Fee Structure: Bond vs Non-Bond Track
One unusual feature of government PG admissions in Uttarakhand is that candidates choose between a bond track and a non-bond track fee at the time of admission.
| Track | Approx. Annual Fee (MD/MS) | Service Obligation |
|---|---|---|
| Bond track | ₹60,000/year | Compulsory 2 years of government service in a rural or hilly area after completing the course |
| Non-bond track | ₹5 Lakh/year | No compulsory government service |
Uttarakhand NEET PG Service Bond & Penalty
- Bond duration: 2 years of service in a government hospital or health centre in a hilly or rural part of Uttarakhand. It applies to candidates who choose the subsidised bond-track fee at government colleges (for example, GMC Haldwani).
- Bond penalty: Up to ₹2.5 crore if a bond-track candidate fails to complete the 2 years of service. This is one of the steepest bond penalties among Indian states.
- Non-bond track candidates and most private/deemed college seats are generally exempt from this rural-service bond, because the higher annual fee already covers the opt-out.
- In-service (PMHS) candidates follow separate NOC and deputation terms instead of the standard bond that applies to fresh graduates.
Stipend for PG Residents in Uttarakhand
PG residents at government medical colleges in Uttarakhand typically get a monthly stipend of about ₹45,000 to ₹50,000. The exact amount depends on the college, the year of residency, and any revisions issued by the state health department. AIIMS Rishikesh follows the central AIIMS stipend structure, which is usually higher. Candidates should confirm the latest stipend slabs with the institute when they join.
Uttarakhand NEET PG Counselling Process
HNBUMU conducts Uttarakhand NEET PG counselling online for the 50% state quota, while MCC separately runs counselling for the 50% All India Quota seats. The main steps are:
- Online registration on the official HNBUMU counselling portal, along with payment of the registration fee (about ₹6,500 for all categories).
- Document upload: NEET PG scorecard, MBBS degree or provisional certificate, internship completion certificate, category certificate, and domicile certificate (where applicable).
- Security deposit payment, which differs by seat type (MD/MS/MDS/Diploma/DNB).
- Choice filling and locking of preferred colleges and courses before the deadline.
- Seat allotment based on NEET PG rank, category, and locked choices.
- Reporting to the allotted college with original documents and the applicable fee within the stated window.
- Further rounds: Round 2, an offline mop-up round, and a stray vacancy/NRI round for any seats still vacant.
