How Admission Works — 2026 Cycle

Entry to programmes at Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute of Medical Sciences, Lucknow is governed by a layered admission process: discipline-specific entrance examinations at each level, centralised or institutional counselling, and document verification before seat confirmation.

Undergraduate admissions. The UG entry route covers NEET-UG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test — Undergraduate, conducted by NTA). Seat allocation is managed through MCC (Medical Counselling Committee) for 15% All India Quota and Deemed Universities; state counselling for state quota, subject to documents verification and the prescribed reservation-category seat matrix.

Postgraduate admissions. Entry to PG programmes runs on NEET-PG (conducted by NBEMS), or INI-CET (for AIIMS, PGIMER, JIPMER, NIMHANS). Post-entrance, candidates go through MCC for 50% All India Quota; state counselling for state quota — including category and domicile verification where applicable.

Doctoral admissions. The Ph.D. admission pathway is Ph.D. entrance test + proposal review, with final confirmation following supervisor matching, research-proposal defence, and institutional registration.

The standard admission cycle involves the following sequence:

1. Registration on the relevant entrance authority portal and submission of the application form, along with the prescribed application fee (fee concessions apply per reserved-category norms).
2. The entrance test itself — computer-based, pen-and-paper, or hybrid — conducted as per the schedule notified by the examination authority, with admit cards issued in advance.
3. Declaration of the final result, publication of cut-offs, and availability of individual scorecards on the entrance body's result portal.
4. Counselling registration (central or state), choice-filling, and seat allotment rounds held over multiple iterations until vacant seats are exhausted.
5. On-reporting document check — original 10th/12th certificates, category/EWS/PwD certificate, domicile proof, entrance scorecard, transfer certificate, and government photo ID are verified at the allotted institution.
6. Acceptance fee payment, confirmation of admission, and issuance of the institute ID — after which the candidate is officially registered for the programme.
