Tripura NEET Counselling 2026 is the state-level admission process for MBBS and BDS seats in Tripura’s government and private medical/dental colleges. It is conducted by the Directorate of Medical Education (DME), Government of Tripura, through the Tripura Medical Counselling Committee (TRMCC), the state’s designated conducting authority, using its official portal trmcc.admissions.nic.in.
Admission to Tripura State Quota/Domicile seats is handled entirely by TRMCC/DME, while candidates outside Tripura compete separately for All India Quota (AIQ) seats at Government Medical Colleges nationwide (via the Medical Counselling Committee, MCC) or for “All India candidates other than Tripura Domicile” seats set aside within Tripura’s own colleges with 20 MBBS seats at Tripura Medical College and 75 MBBS seats at Tripura Santiniketan Medical College.
All admissions are based purely on NEET UG 2026 rank, conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA). The Round 1 online registration for Tripura Undergraduate Medical Counselling 2026 will commence on 18 August 2026. The detailed counselling schedule and tentative seat matrix for Round 1 will be published separately.

Tripura NEET Counselling Registration Process
Here's how to register for Tripura NEET Counselling 2026 on the official TRMCC portal:
- Visit trmcc.admissions.nic.in once the portal opens as per the Educational Notification.
- Register using the same information and documents submitted during your NEET UG 2026 application, this data is pre-populated from the NTA portal and cannot be changed later.
- Pay the applicable Registration Fee online based on your category (General/OBC-NCL, General-EWS, or SC/ST/PwD/Other).
- Pay the mandatory Security Deposit required from Round 1 onwards for every candidate, based on whether you're seeking a Government College seat or a Non-Government/mixed college seat.
- Complete your registration before the notified deadline, registration is mandatory in every round (Round 1, 2, 3, and Stray Vacancy) for candidates who haven't already registered in an earlier round.
- Submit an Undertaking (for State Quota applicants) declaring that you are applying only for Tripura's State Quota/Domicile seat and have not applied for domicile seats of any other state.
- Keep checking trmcc.admissions.nic.in regularly, no individual communication or call letter is sent to any candidate.
Tripura NEET Counselling Choice Filling
Once registration and the merit list are complete, here's how choice filling works in Tripura:
- Log in to the TRMCC portal using your registered credentials during the notified choice-filling window.
- Fill in your preferred colleges and courses (MBBS/BDS/BHMS/BAMS/BASLP, as applicable) in the order you actually want them, allotment strictly follows this order of preference against your merit position and category.
- Seats are distributed from the common Merit List as per the Tripura State Reservation Policy, based on availability at the time of choice filling.
- If you're allotted a seat in Round 1 but not satisfied, there's a free exit, you don't have to join, and you can register for Round 2. However, if you want to retain your Round 1 seat while also trying to upgrade in Round 2, you must physically join the Round 1 college first and indicate "willingness for upgradation."
- Once upgraded to a Round 2 or Round 3 seat, your earlier seat is automatically cancelled and given to another candidate, so fill in only choices you'd genuinely prefer over your current allotment.
- A candidate allotted a Round 3 seat and who joins cannot upgrade or resign thereafter.

My name is Rajesh Mishra. For the past 18 years, I have been helping students get admission into the right colleges. I believe that even students with average or low ranks deserve admission in good colleges—without chasing agents, falling for false promises, or paying donations.
To share my experience and guidance with more students, I write blogs on NEET, Engineering, and AYUSH counselling.
