Primary answer

Yes, a candidate who qualifies in NEET UG can apply for both All India Quota (AIQ) and State Quota seats. The 15% AIQ seats are filled through centralized counseling conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), and students from any state can compete for these seats. The remaining 85% seats in government medical colleges are filled through state counseling conducted by the respective state authorities, usually giving preference to candidates who meet domicile requirements of that state.
