As students prepare for the NEET UG 2026 examination, understanding the intricacies of seat distribution is crucial. Internal quotas are reserved for students with specific ties to institutions or regions, allowing for potentially lower admission scores compared to the general national average. Key internal quotas include the Delhi University Quota for students who completed their schooling in Delhi, the Aligarh Muslim University Quota for those from AMU-run schools, and the Jamia Internal Quota for graduates of Jamia Millia Islamia.
