MBBS Seat Matrices in ESIC Medical Colleges

 

There are 1305 MBBS seats distributed across all 11 ESIC medical institutes. The seat matrix of each institute is a crucial determinant for seat allocation, which is conducted under reservation criteria and various categories. Ensuring an equitable distribution of seats is essential to fulfilling the objectives behind the establishment of ESIC medical colleges.

ESIC (Employees' State Insurance Corporation) seats are based on different quotas. Of 1305 seats, 47.9% (625 seats) are allocated to the State Quota. ESI Insured Persons receive 35.7% (466 seats) of the seats, while the All India Quota (AIQ) accounts for 16.4% (214 seats).
