How to get an MBBS seat at Al-Azhar Medical College: step by step

1. Appear for & qualify NEET-UG 2026. NEET-UG is the single entrance test for every MBBS seat at Al-Azhar Medical College — there is no separate entrance or management test.
2. Register for counselling. Admission to Al-Azhar Medical College is the state/convenor quota via CEE Kerala (KEAM), plus the management and NRI quotas. Create your login on the correct portal as soon as registration opens and keep your NEET roll number, scorecard and ID ready.
3. Fill & lock your choices. Add Al-Azhar Medical College to your preference list along with realistic back-up colleges. Order matters — a careless choice order is the most common reason students miss a better seat.
4. Seat allotment rounds. Allotment runs over Round 1, Round 2, a mop-up round and a stray-vacancy round. If you are upgraded, your earlier seat is released automatically — understand the free-exit/upgrade rules before each round.
5. Report & admission. Once allotted Al-Azhar Medical College, report on time with original documents, complete verification and pay the first-year fee to confirm your seat. Missing the reporting window forfeits the seat.

Every step above is run by the official counselling authority. Al-Azhar Medical College cannot admit any MBBS student outside this NEET-UG counselling process — be wary of anyone claiming otherwise.
