Yenepoya University MBBS and BDS Selection Criteria 2026

NEET UG 2026 rank decides admission for MBBS and BDS at Yenepoya University. The university does not hold a separate entrance test, interview, or group discussion. MCC allots seats by using NEET rank and the preferences entered by candidates.

  • Round 1 and Round 2: Candidates with stronger NEET ranks get allotment priority. All seat categories remain available in these rounds.
  • Mop-Up Round: Seats left vacant in deemed universities are included here. NEET-qualified candidates who did not get seats earlier can participate.
  • Stray Vacancy Round: This is the last round for remaining seats and needs separate registration on MCC.
  • Management, minority, and NRI quota seats are included in the MCC pool. Candidates choose their preferred quota during choice filling on mcc.nic.in.
  • In MCC 2025 deemed counselling, Yenepoya MBBS seats were allotted across all four rounds. Higher NEET rank holders usually filled seats in Round 1, while candidates with ranks beyond 3,50,000 may need to try Mop-Up or Stray Vacancy rounds.

Key Insight: Yenepoya University is a Deemed-to-be-University, so MCC controls 100% of MBBS and BDS allotment, including management and NRI quota seats. Students cannot secure these seats directly through the Yenepoya admission office. MCC registration should be completed after NEET UG 2026 results are declared.
