MD Respiratory Medicine Has 1,326 NEET PG Seats Across India for 2026–27
The 2026–27 postgraduate seat matrix lists 1,326 MD Respiratory Medicine seats nationwide. Uttar Pradesh has the largest reported state total, followed by Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Medical graduates considering MD Respiratory Medicine can use the 2026–27 seat matrix to understand where this speciality is offered and how seats are distributed. The National Medical Commission (NMC) matrix lists 1,326 seats under MD Respiratory Medicine, also referred to as Tuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases. This figure refers to MD seats; it does not include a separate count of DNB Respiratory Medicine seats.
Seat availability is concentrated in a group of states. Uttar Pradesh has 141 seats, Karnataka 139 and Andhra Pradesh 136. These three states together account for 416 seats. Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Rajasthan are also among the larger contributors.
MD Respiratory Medicine seats: leading states
| State | Reported seats |
|---|---|
| Uttar Pradesh | 141 |
| Karnataka | 139 |
| Andhra Pradesh | 136 |
| Tamil Nadu | 130 |
| Maharashtra | 119 |
| Rajasthan | 114 |
The six states listed above account for 779 seats, or about 59% of the 1,326-seat total. This distribution can help candidates shortlist regions and institutions while preparing their NEET PG counselling preferences. It should not be read as a prediction of cut-offs or an individual candidate’s admission chances: those depend on factors such as rank, category, seat quota, eligibility and the choices submitted.
What candidates should check before counselling
- Confirm the course name and approved intake for each college in the current NMC seat matrix.
- Check the relevant counselling authority’s seat list for quota-wise availability and current vacancies.
- Review eligibility, reservation rules, fees and college-specific requirements before adding a choice.
- Keep track of official notices for any revised matrix or counselling schedule.
- Consider DNB options separately; the 1,326 figure is for MD Respiratory Medicine.
