Recency-weighted exact-seat history anchors the estimate. NMC sanctioned seats unchanged at 8 for 2026; no seat adjustment. Model and held-out validation.

For participating state government MD/MS/PG diploma seats, the indicative AIQ share is 50% of full sanctioned intake, across all categories. Odd totals need MCC’s allocation/roster; category and PwD splits are not inferred. Central/institutional, deemed and DNB pools have separate rules.
2024 → 2025 initial MCC snapshots: 2 → 2 seats (0). Same college, course, quota and category. This snapshot difference is not a 2026 forecast or proof of newly approved seats.
Data coverage and official downloads →Full-intake changes can inform a 50% AIQ planning estimate where applicable; exact category/round changes require the 2026 MCC matrix. MCC availability and NMC all-quota capacity are different measures. The 2026 NMC snapshot excludes pending increases/new approvals; current MCC availability is not supplied.
