Tripura Round 1 MBBS Seat Matrix

The official TRMCC matrix contains two distinct MBBS admission pools:

1. Tripura State/Domicile seats
2. All India seats for candidates other than Tripura domicile at participating private medical colleges

These two pools must not be merged for cutoff or predictor purposes.

Tripura State/Domicile MBBS Seats

All India Open MBBS Seats — Non-Tripura Domicile

These seats are explicitly separated in the official matrix.

Therefore:

371 State/Domicile + 105 All India Open = 476 MBBS seats

State/Domicile MBBS Category Distribution

Across the 371 State/Domicile MBBS seats, the official category structure works out to:

This distribution reflects Tripura's notified seat structure and should not be compared directly with another State's reservation percentages.

All India Open Private MBBS Distribution

For the 105 seats available to candidates other than Tripura State domicile:

This is a completely separate competitive pool.

A non-Tripura candidate should use these 105 seats, not the 371 State/Domicile seats, while judging Round 1 chances.

College-Wise MBBS Analysis

Agartala Government Medical College

160 State seats

Category distribution:

• UR — 68, including 2 WESM
• EWS — 16
• ST — 49, including 1 WESM
• SC — 27

AGMC is the largest Government MBBS seat block in the Tripura matrix and will generally be one of the most important State-domicile choices.

Tripura Medical College

State/Domicile

120 seats

• UR — 62, including 1 WESM
• ST — 38
• SC — 20, including 1 WESM

All India Non-Domicile

30 seats

• UR — 15
• ST — 2
• OBC-NCL — 8
• SC — 5

Students must pay close attention to the quota before selecting this college.

Tripura Santiniketan Medical College — Important Fee Split

This college has multiple admission bands.

Tripura Domicile — Government Fee Rate

10 seats

• UR — 5
• ST — 3, including 1 WESM
• SC — 2

These seats can be especially attractive because the official matrix states that they carry the prescribed Government Medical College tuition-fee rate.

Tripura Domicile — Santiniketan College Fee Rate

65 seats

• UR — 34, including 1 WESM
• ST — 20
• SC — 11

All India Non-Domicile

75 seats

• UR — 38
• ST — 6
• OBC-NCL — 20
• SC — 11

This means Tripura Santiniketan should never be treated as one common cutoff.

For accurate prediction use:

College + Domicile Status + Fee Route + Category + Round

RIMS Imphal Seats Through Tripura Counselling

Tripura's official matrix also includes:

16 MBBS seats at Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal

Category split:

• UR — 7
• EWS — 1
• ST — 5
• SC — 3

These are part of the Tripura counselling allocation route and should remain distinct from MCC or Manipur State counselling seats.

BDS Seat Matrix — 57 Seats

Agartala Government Dental College

54 BDS seats

• UR — 23, including 1 WESM
• EWS — 5
• ST — 17
• SC — 9

Regional Dental College, Guwahati

3 BDS seats

• UR — 1
• ST — 2

Total BDS Category Distribution

Government BDS should be analysed independently from MBBS because the merit range can extend much deeper.

New PwD Reservation Update — 8 AGMC MBBS Seats

TRMCC issued a specific notification dated 27 August 2026 regarding PwD reservation at Agartala Government Medical College.

Out of the 160 AGMC MBBS seats, 8 seats are earmarked for PwD candidates.

Category-wise:

Very Important

These 8 seats are NOT additional seats.

PwD reservation is horizontal.

That means:

• UR-PwD sits within UR
• SC-PwD sits within SC
• ST-PwD sits within ST

Do not add 8 more seats to the AGMC total.

AGMC remains 160 seats, not 168.

For HGE normalization:

Parent Category + PwD Horizontal Claim

must be preserved.

Choice Filling Deadline

The revised official Round 1 schedule states:

27 August 2026, 2:00 PM → 29 August 2026, 12:00 Noon

Candidates should treat 29 August at 12 Noon as the operative deadline.

The candidate-activity area of the portal has displayed differing choice-filling start-time text during live updates, but the revised schedule PDF clearly gives the official window ending at 12 Noon on 29 August.

The end deadline is what matters most now.

Choice Filling Strategy — Tripura Domicile Candidates

Build choices in genuine preference order.

Compare:

1. AGMC
2. RIMS Imphal route
3. Tripura Medical College
4. Santiniketan Government-fee seats
5. Santiniketan regular-fee seats
6. BDS options

But the exact order should depend on:

• college preference,
• tuition fee,
• category,
• course preference,
• location,
• service/bond conditions.

Do not place a high-fee private seat above a Government/Government-fee option unless you genuinely prefer it.

Strategy for Non-Tripura Candidates

Non-domicile candidates should focus only on the specifically notified All India pool at:

• Tripura Medical College — 30 seats
• Tripura Santiniketan Medical College — 75 seats

Total:

105 MBBS seats

Do not assume that AGMC's 160 State seats or other Tripura-domicile seats are open to you.

Category Strategy

UR

State/Domicile MBBS has 176 UR seats.

The All India private pool separately has 53 UR seats.

ST

Tripura has a significant ST reservation component:

• State MBBS — 115
• All India private MBBS — 8
• BDS — 19

SC

• State MBBS — 63
• All India private MBBS — 16
• BDS — 9

EWS

EWS appears in State/Domicile routes including AGMC/RIMS and BDS but is not shown in the separate 105-seat All India private MBBS pool.

OBC-NCL

OBC-NCL is notably present in the All India private MBBS pool, with 28 seats, while the published State/Domicile MBBS/BDS matrix shows no OBC-NCL seats.

This distinction is critical for counselling prediction.

What Students Should Do Now

1. Login to the official Tripura counselling portal.
2. Confirm your verification status.
3. Check Tripura domicile eligibility.
4. Identify whether you are competing under State or All India pool.
5. Review category eligibility.
6. Check PwD eligibility where applicable.
7. Compare private-college fee routes carefully.
8. Prepare preferences offline.
9. Submit choices in genuine order.
10. Complete choice filling before 29 August, 12 Noon.

HGE Key Takeaway

Tripura Round 1 does not have one common 476-seat MBBS pool.

It is structurally:

371 Tripura State/Domicile MBBS seats

plus

105 All India non-Tripura private MBBS seats

plus

57 BDS seats

and within AGMC, 8 PwD seats are horizontal reservations inside the existing 160-seat total.

For reliable prediction use:

Course + College + Domicile/Quota + Category + Horizontal Reservation + Fee Route + Round

rather than one generic “Tripura MBBS cutoff”.
