Uttar Pradesh runs its own counselling process for state-quota MBBS/BDS seats, separate from MCC's All India Quota counselling. State-quota seats in UP's government and many private medical colleges are allotted through this process.

State-quota medical counselling in Uttar Pradesh is conducted by the state's Directorate General of Medical Education & Training, through its own dedicated counselling portal — separate from MCC's counselling website. Always register on the correct official UP counselling portal, not a third-party site.
State-quota eligibility in UP generally requires meeting the state's domicile criteria — commonly based on having studied in the state for a specified period, or a parent's residence/government posting in UP. Exact criteria and required certificates are set out in the state's own counselling information bulletin each year — confirm against that rather than a general rule.
If you're a UP candidate, you can typically register for both MCC's AIQ counselling and UP's state counselling — they run independently, and being allotted in one can affect your standing in the other depending on the round and each authority's specific carry-forward rules.
State-quota seats are generally restricted to candidates meeting UP's domicile criteria. Candidates from other states can still compete for UP's All India Quota (AIQ) seats through MCC counselling.
