Indian Opinion Analysis
Uttar Pradesh offers 6,082 PG and super-specialty medical seats for 2026-27, the second-largest state tally after the national total of 63,177. The distribution reveals a stark concentration in a handful of clinical fields, 575 seats in MD Medicine alone, while niche specialties such as Geriatrics get just three seats and Sports Medicine four. For thousands of aspirants across the state, competition will vary wildly by branch. The NMC has clarified that this matrix excludes seats from pending applications for new courses or increased intake, so the final tally may rise. No date has been set for when those additional seats will be announced.
