The state-level medical and dental counselling for Sikkim is officially organized by the Education Department, Government of Sikkim. Since the state features a unique single-college system at SMIMS Gangtok, directing the seat streams requires strict observance to the chronological roadmap below.

1.Online Registration & Profile Creation: Stage 1 — Registration Window.

Candidates must visit the official state portal sikkimhrdd.org during the active application window. You need to fill in your personal data, NEET UG roll number, All India Rank, and academic scores to create exclusive login IDs. A non-refundable application fee must be paid online to activate the profile.

2.Document Upload & Category Mapping: Stage 2 — Verification Pre-requisite.

Applicants are compulsory to upload high-quality colour-scanned copies of their unique certificates. Sikkim Domicile candidates must upload their Certificate of Identification (COI) or Permanent Resident proofs, while non-domicile applicants looking for Open Management Seats must explicitly select the management category stream during this phase.

3.Publication of Sikkim State Merit List: Stage 3 — State Rank Release.

After dispensation the registered candidate data, the Education Department releases a combined Sikkim State Merit List. This list indexes every applicant based on their NEET score and maps out a dedicated State Category Rank, which serves as the primary standard for institutional seat allocation.

4.Online Choice Filling & Preference Locking: Stage 4 — Strategic Preference Selection.

This is the most serious tactical phase. Candidates must log in to select and sequence their favorite seat categories at SMIMS Gangtok (such as Government Free Seats, Subsidized Seats, or Open Management Seats). It is mandatory to manually save and lock your preference tree before the specified deadline.

5.Seat Allotment Result Announcement: Stage 5 — Allocation Assessment.

Based on the candidate’s State Merit Rank and locked choices, the computerized system runs an allocation algorithm. The final results are declared online, and successfully allotted candidates must log in to download their official Provisional Allotment Letter.

6.Physical Verification & Institutional Reporting: Stage 6 — Final Admission Confirmation.

To seal the allotment, the student must physically report to the chosen nodal center or directly to the SMIMS Gangtok campus within the set timeline. You must submit your original documents for physical cross-verification and payment the first-year academic tuition fees to secure final admission.

📋 Important Note for Non-Domicile (Pan-India) Students: Sikkim operates as an Open State completely for the Management Quota seats at SMIMS Gangtok. If you do not possess a Sikkim Certificate of Identification (COI), you can legally participate in this counselling process by registering as a over-all management candidate.
