Quota & Seat Distribution
Admissions to MBBS and BDS seats in Punjab are conducted under three categories of quota, all counselled centrally by BFUHS (except the All India Quota, which is filled separately by the Medical Counselling Committee):
- 85% State Quota - for candidates who meet Punjab domicile/residency requirements, filled through BFUHS counselling.
- Management Quota - offered by participating private colleges as per the BFUHS counselling prospectus; government medical/dental colleges do not offer management quota seats.
- NRI Quota - for NRI-sponsored candidates, as per prospectus rules.
- 15% All India Quota (AIQ) - filled separately by MCC, not through BFUHS.
Reported figures for the 2026 cycle put the number of MBBS and BDS seats available under BFUHS Punjab counselling at approximately 1,750 MBBS seats and 1,260 BDS seats; candidates should confirm the exact, category-wise seat matrix from the official seat matrix released at the time of choice filling, since this is not stated in the merit list PDF itself.
Application Fee

|---|---|
| General & Other Categories | ₹5,900 (₹5,000 + 18% GST) |
| SC | ₹2,950 (inclusive of GST) |
