Himachal Pradesh NEET PG counselling is the state-level counselling process for admission to postgraduate medical courses such as MD, MS and DNB in eligible Government and Private medical institutions in Himachal Pradesh.

The counselling is conducted through Atal Medical & Research University (AMRU), Himachal Pradesh, under the Department of Medical Education & Research, Government of Himachal Pradesh. The 2025–26 prospectus states that the centralized counselling covered 50% State Quota PG seats in Government Medical Colleges and all applicable seats in Private Medical Colleges in the state.

Official counselling authority:
Atal Medical & Research University (AMRU), Himachal Pradesh

Location: Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri Government Medical College & Hospital Campus, Ner Chowk, Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.

Official website: AMRU Himachal Pradesh

2026 status: As of 26 August 2026, the AMRU website is still showing PG MD/MS/DNB counselling notices for the 2025–26 session, including 2025 stray-round activity. I have therefore not treated the 2025 rules, dates or fees as confirmed 2026–27 figures.
