❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: What is the main structural difference between AIQ and State Quota Counseling?
Ans: The 15% All India Quota (AIQ) allows any Indian citizen to claim a seat in any government college across state borders via MCC counseling. The 85% State Quota is managed by individual state medical boards exclusively for valid residents/domicile holders of that particular state.
Q2: My category rank is great but my All India Rank (AIR) is low. Which rank determines my seat allotment?
Ans: The systems use your All India Rank (AIR) as the primary engine for seat allocation, checking the availability of designated category quotas sequentially during the software execution block.
Q3: Can I modify my choice locking list after submitting it?
Ans: No. Once you explicitly click lock, or when the system window automatically triggers auto-locking at the submission deadline, choices cannot be updated or rearranged for that specific round.
