MBBS admission at AFMC Pune is conducted through NEET UG shortlisting followed by screening at Pune. The 2026 intake includes 145 civilian cadets and 5 MEA-sponsored foreign nationals. Among the civilian cadets, the seat split is 115 boys and 30 girls. In 2025, 2,354 candidates were listed in the AFMC merit list for 145 civilian seats.

For the 2026 admission cycle, the NEET UG exam was completed on June 21, 2026 after rescheduling. The AFMC shortlist was expected in the third week of July 2026, while screening at AFMC Pune was expected in August 2026. Candidates must be unmarried at admission, and marriage is not allowed during the MBBS course.

AFMC Pune MBBS Eligibility Criteria 2026

Applicants must satisfy academic, age, personal, and physical requirements at the time of NEET UG registration and later verification.

Candidates who passed 10+2 through a supplementary or compartment attempt are not eligible for AFMC MBBS admission.

AFMC Pune MBBS Selection Criteria 2026

AFMC shortlists candidates from NEET UG merit for its Pune screening round. The usual shortlist size is 2,000 candidates, including 1,600 boys and 400 girls. Separate final merit lists are prepared for boys and girls.

• The final composite score is calculated out of 250 marks.
• NEET score out of 720 and ToELR score out of 80 are added and divided by 4 to make the Written Examination Score out of 200.
• Interview carries 50 marks.
• PAT is qualifying only and does not add marks to final merit.

Based on NEET UG 2025 data, boys needed above 600 marks and girls needed above 620 marks out of 720 to enter the AFMC screening shortlist. Final admission is based on the composite score, not NEET rank alone.

Every AFMC MBBS cadet signs a service bond before joining. As of 2026, the bond amount was INR 71 lakh, revised upward every academic year. The bond applies if a cadet withdraws after 7 days of joining or does not complete 7 years of AFMS service after graduation. Candidates declared medically unfit during training are liable to pay INR 28,166 per week in training cost from the NSL declaration date, not the full bond amount.

Note: AFMC is the only institution among the three that includes ToELR, psychological evaluation, and personal interview after NEET. A high NEET rank alone does not secure AFMC admission. Candidates who do not clear ToELR, interview, or medical examination are not admitted even with a strong NEET score. AIIMS Delhi and JIPMER allot seats through NEET rank only.
