Absolutely yes. NEET-PG does not discriminate based on where you did your MBBS. Whether you studied at a premier government medical college or a private self-financed college, you write the same NEET-PG exam and compete on the same merit list. Your NEET-PG rank is all that matters for seat allotment. Many students who studied MBBS in private colleges have secured MD seats in top government institutions purely on the strength of their NEET-PG performance. This is what makes NEET-PG a truly merit-based and democratic process, your college of origin does not define your future.
