Yes. The deemed university medical and dental seats are allotted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). For admission to MBBS or BDS courses in deemed universities, you would have to go through the NEET UG MCC counseling process. Unlike many private colleges where admission is done through state counseling, MCC conducts centralized online counseling for 100% MBBS/BDS seats in deemed universities.
That means any state of India’s candidate can apply for the deemed university seats through MCC if they have qualified for NEET UG and fulfill the eligibility criteria. As deemed universities are part of all-India counseling conducted by MCC, there is no restriction of state domicile for these seats.
