DME Tripura UG Medical Counselling (Directorate of Medical Education, Tripura - Agartala)
Overview
DME Tripura runs the state-quota NEET UG counselling for MBBS and BDS seats at Agartala Government Medical College (AGMC) and Tripura Medical College (TMC). 15% of seats in every state government medical/dental college go to the All India Quota (AIQ), counselled separately by MCC (mcc.nic.in) - only the remaining share is filled through this state counselling. Tripura is a small state with very few in-state seats, so competition for the state quota is high relative to seat count, and many qualified candidates also apply through MCC's AIQ round for a wider set of options.

- Check round-wise seat allotment and report to the allotted college within the given window
💡 Preparation Tips
- AGMC Agartala and TMC are the only two state-quota targets, so realistically order your two choices rather than treating it like a long list
- Keep the full document checklist ready in advance - NEET UG admit card and scorecard, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, domicile/residence certificate, category certificate (if applicable), passport-size photos, and valid ID proof - keep both originals and photocopies ready for verification.
- Because seat count is small, also register for MCC AIQ counselling to widen your options
❓ FAQs
Is there a separate Tripura medical entrance exam?
No - Tripura state counselling uses your NEET UG rank only; there is no additional written test.
How many state-quota medical colleges does Tripura have?
Two - AGMC Agartala and TMC (Tripura Medical College). Most of Tripura's MBBS/BDS seats come from these two.
Can I also apply for AIQ seats outside Tripura?
Yes - MCC handles the 15% All India Quota separately from state counselling, and registering for both is standard practice.
