In Goa, all MBBS admissions — including seats reserved for NRI/OCI/PIO candidates — are conducted only through the official NEET-UG state counselling process managed by the Directorate of Technical Education (DTE), Goa, based on NEET-UG 2026 scores.

There is no direct, offline, management, or agent-based admission route. Every seat is filled strictly through a transparent, merit-based counselling system.

Goa Medical College (GMC), the only medical college in the state, allocates a very limited number of NRI/OCI seats (up to 5% of total seats) as part of the official seat matrix.
