NMC lists 1,880 MD Dermatology seats for 2026-27
The National Medical Commission has listed 1,880 MD Dermatology, Venereology and Leprosy seats for the academic year 2026-27 in its latest postgraduate and super speciality seat matrix.
Karnataka has the most places at 300, followed by Maharashtra with 216 and Tamil Nadu with 204. Uttar Pradesh has 154, Telangana 153 and Andhra Pradesh 146. No seats are listed for Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Arunachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Sikkim or Tripura.
The NMC said the matrix leaves out applications for higher intake in existing PG courses and for new PG courses this year. A broader matrix released on 29 September listed 63,177 MD, MS, Diploma, DM and MCh seats for 2026-27.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Dermatology training places are concentrated in a few states, so candidates from the five states with zero seats will compete for spots elsewhere. That is the practical effect of the 1,880 figure, which counts only courses already recognised for 2026-27. Places sought through new course applications and intake expansion are outside the list. The commission says the current matrix excludes those requests. Karnataka alone holds 300 of the seats, more than Delhi, Punjab, Haryana and Jammu and Kashmir together. The National Medical Commission has given no date for when the pending applications will be decided or added to the matrix, leaving the 1,880 figure open to revision.
