MBBS Seats Increased by 10,000 in 2026-27 — But Who Really Benefits?

India's total MBBS seats for the 2026-27 academic year have crossed approximately 1.37 lakh, an increase of about 10,000 seats over the previous year, and in this video I break down exactly where these new seats came from and who they actually help. Karnataka now has the highest number of MBBS seats in the country, driven largely by a significant jump in private college seats, while West Bengal recorded the biggest increase in government seats. Together, the top five states — Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, and Telangana — now account for nearly half of all MBBS seats in India. I also look at the government versus private split in this growth, since the increase has come disproportionately from private institutions rather than government colleges. This matters because a private-sector-heavy expansion could push MBBS education further out of reach for students from lower-income backgrounds, unless they score very high on NEET. If you're a NEET aspirant or a parent trying to understand what this seat increase actually means for your counselling strategy, this breakdown is for you. ☎️One to one discussion: ===================== If you like to have a one to one discussion with me, you can book an appointment at https://manick.dayschedule.com/ ✨ You can follow me on: ===================== WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va68...
