Primary answer

Deemed universities are higher education institutions that have been granted the status of 'deemed to be university' by the University Grants Commission (UGC) based on their academic excellence and infrastructure. Many private medical colleges operate under deemed university status. Admissions to MBBS and BDS courses in these institutions are conducted through NEET UG scores, and counseling is managed by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) under the All India counseling process. These institutions usually have higher tuition fees compared to government medical colleges.
