This guide gives you the exact 2026 dates, fees, eligibility and cutoffs you need to secure a seat at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth.

Latest Admission Updates (2026)

The most important deadline first: applicants targeting Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's medical and dental UG seats had to register for NEET UG 2026 by 8 March 2026, because every MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BHMS, B.Sc Nursing and BPT seat here is filled strictly on a valid 2026 NEET score. Below are the dated updates as of June 2026:

• NEET UG 2026 application window: opened 8 February 2026, closed 8 March 2026 (conducting body: NTA).
• NEET UG 2026 correction/edit window: 10 March 2026 to 12 March 2026 (now closed).
• NEET UG 2026 exam date: 3 May 2026 (single shift, pen-and-paper).
• NEET UG 2026 admit card: released ahead of the exam; the re-test admit card cycle ran around 14 June 2026.
• NEET PG 2026 (for MD/MS): registration opens 4 June 2026; exam on 30 August 2026 (conducting body: NBEMS).
• NEET MDS 2026 (for MDS): exam held 2 May 2026; result declared 2 June 2026 (now out).
• GPAT 2026 (for M.Pharm): exam held 7 March 2026; result declared 7 April 2026 (now out).
• UG counselling: Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's deemed-university seats are filled through the MCC All India Quota counselling at mcc.nic.in, expected to begin after NEET UG 2026 results.

Action point: if you hold a valid NEET 2026 scorecard, your next live step is the MCC counselling registration and the parallel Sumandeep Vidyapeeth institutional registration on sumandeepvidyapeethdu.edu.in. Keep checking the MCC schedule, as deemed-university rounds open alongside the All India Quota rounds.

Sumandeep Vidyapeeth Admission 2026: Eligibility Criteria

The table below answers the single most common question aspirants ask: "Am I eligible for my chosen course at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth in 2026?" It maps every major programme to its academic prerequisite, the minimum qualifying marks the university enforces, and the entrance exam that gates that seat. Read it row by row, find your target programme, and confirm you meet both the subject combination and the percentage floor before you pay any counselling fee. Note that for all health-science UG courses the 50% aggregate rule (45% for B.Sc Nursing) applies to Physics, Chemistry and Biology taken together, and a qualified NEET 2026 score is non-negotiable.

Key takeaways: the clinical UG gateway is uniform - 50% in PCB plus NEET UG - so a NEET 2026 qualifying percentile is the real filter, not just your board marks. B.Sc Nursing is the only UG health course relaxed to 45%. For PG medical and dental seats (MD, MS, MDS) you must finish your compulsory rotatory internship and hold a valid registration before counselling, and the MBA Healthcare programme is the one route open to any-discipline graduates including practising doctors. Confirm your exact percentage on your final marksheet before locking a Sumandeep Vidyapeeth choice.

Course-Wise Admission Status

This table tells you, at a glance, which Sumandeep Vidyapeeth programmes are accepting applications for the 2026-2027 session, the approximate intake, the mode of selection, and the exam that controls each seat. It directly answers "Is admission still open for my course?" and "How many seats are there?" Use it to prioritise: NEET-linked clinical courses move on the national counselling calendar, while institutional programmes such as MBA, M.Sc Nursing and PhD run on the university's own timeline. Seat numbers are indicative of sanctioned intake and are confirmed each year by the respective regulator (NMC, DCI, CCIM, PCI).

Takeaways: for MBBS and BDS the application stage is effectively over for 2026 because both depend on the closed NEET UG window, so your live task is counselling, not a fresh form. PG medical aspirants still have an open runway because NEET PG registration starts 4 June 2026. Institutional courses (MBA Healthcare, PhD across 31 specialisations, M.Pharm post-GPAT) remain open and are your most flexible entry points. Always verify the current sanctioned intake on the university or regulator portal before counting on a seat number.

Application Fees

This is the section most applicants get wrong, so read carefully: the fee you pay to sit the entrance exam (paid to the conducting body, NTA or NBEMS) is completely separate from Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's tuition fee, which runs into lakhs and crores. The table below breaks down the 2026 entrance-exam application fee category by category, because OBC-NCL, SC, ST and PwD fees genuinely differ from the General fee. Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's own institutional registration/processing fee is collected at the university's counselling stage and is not separately published category-wise, so it is marked accordingly. Use this to budget the small exam fee now and the large tuition later.

Takeaways: the NEET UG 2026 exam fee is identical to the 2025 structure (₹1,700 General, ₹1,600 EWS/OBC-NCL, ₹1,000 SC/ST/PwD), with international centres charging ₹9,500. These are non-refundable and paid online to NTA, not to the college. Sumandeep Vidyapeeth does not publish a separate category-wise application form fee; its charges appear as a tuition and processing schedule at counselling. Do not confuse the modest exam fee with the programme tuition - the MBBS tuition alone is roughly ₹1.03 crore for the course.

Entrance Exam Requirements

Every clinical seat at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth is decided by a national entrance exam, and this table tells you exactly which exam unlocks which programme, the verified 2026 exam date, and the score band that is realistically competitive for admission here. It answers "Which exam do I need and what score is safe?" The qualifying score is the national floor; the competitive score is what actually wins a deemed-university seat at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth, which historically closes well above the bare qualifying percentile for MBBS and BDS. Read your target row, then plan your prep target around the competitive band, not just the qualifying mark.

Takeaways: NEET UG on 3 May 2026 is the make-or-break test for the bulk of Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's UG intake, so treat it as your priority. PG aspirants have two live tracks: NEET PG on 30 August 2026 for MD/MS and the already-completed NEET MDS for dental PG. Because Sumandeep Vidyapeeth is a deemed university filling seats through MCC, aim comfortably above the bare qualifying percentile for MBBS and BDS to stay safe across allotment rounds. Lock your exam-specific target now and track the MCC schedule for your counselling window.

Cutoff Analysis (2024-2026)

Cutoffs decide everything, so this table lays out the NEET UG qualifying floor across 2024, 2025 and 2026 alongside what is observed at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's SBKS Medical Institute. It answers "What NEET score do I need for MBBS/BDS at Sumandeep Vidyapeeth?" The national qualifying marks are the minimum just to enter counselling; the institution's closing scores sit higher because deemed-university MBBS seats are in demand. Read the General row for the headline trend, then check your category. Remember that closing scores move year to year with the number of test-takers and exam difficulty.

Trend and takeaways: the General qualifying band fell from 720-162 in 2024 to 686-144 in 2025, largely because 2025 saw a tougher paper and a different score distribution, which pulled the qualifying marks down. Despite the lower national floor, Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's actual MBBS closing score for the General category held up around the mid-300s in 2025, confirming that you should target well above the bare qualifying mark. For 2026, the 50th-percentile (General) and 40th-percentile (reserved) rule continues, but the exact 2026 closing ranks for Sumandeep Vidyapeeth will only be fixed once MCC deemed-university rounds conclude. Plan for a buffer of 50-plus marks over the qualifying floor to stay safe.

Counselling Process

Admission to Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's NEET-based seats runs through the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) deemed-university quota, plus the university's own document and fee formalities. Follow these steps in order:

1. Qualify NEET 2026: secure a valid NEET UG 2026 score (exam held 3 May 2026); for PG, qualify NEET PG (30 August 2026) or NEET MDS.
2. MCC registration: register and pay the counselling fee at mcc.nic.in once the deemed/central universities counselling schedule is published after results.
3. Choice filling and locking: add Sumandeep Vidyapeeth / SBKS Medical Institute and K. M. Shah Dental College to your preference list and lock your choices before the deadline.
4. Seat allotment: MCC releases round-wise seat allotment based on your NEET rank, category and choices.
5. Reporting to Sumandeep Vidyapeeth: report to the university campus at Piparia, Waghodia, Vadodara with the allotment letter.
6. Document verification: present NEET scorecard and admit card, Class 10 and 12 marksheets, birth certificate, category certificate (if applicable), photo ID and passport photographs.
7. Fee payment and admission confirmation: pay the programme fee (via RTGS/NEFT/Net Banking/Demand Draft to "Sumandeep Vidyapeeth Deemed To Be University", payable at Vadodara) to confirm your seat and receive the admission letter.

For institutional-quota courses (MBA Healthcare, PhD, M.Pharm), apply directly on sumandeepvidyapeethdu.edu.in, after which a merit list, document verification and fee payment follow on the university's own calendar.

Important Dates (2026)

This master calendar pulls every canonical admission milestone for Sumandeep Vidyapeeth's NEET-driven intake into one place so you never miss a window. It answers "When is the last date?", "When is the exam?" and "When does counselling start?" Each row carries the event, the verified or expected date, and its current status as of June 2026. Where a national body has not yet published a 2026 date, the event is listed as "to be announced" rather than dropped. Treat the NEET UG dates as the backbone of your UG planning and the MCC counselling rows as your active to-do list.

Takeaways: the UG application phase is fully closed, so a fresh NEET UG form is not possible for 2026 - your remaining levers are the result and MCC counselling. PG medical candidates are in an open window, with NEET PG registration live from 4 June 2026 and the exam on 30 August 2026. Dental PG and M.Pharm aspirants already have their results and should move to counselling and institutional applications. Bookmark mcc.nic.in and sumandeepvidyapeethdu.edu.in and check both weekly until your counselling round is announced.
