How to Use the VCI Veterinary Seat Matrix 2026-27

The VCI college-wise seat matrix is useful during counselling because it allows candidates to compare colleges and identify the number of seats available in their category.

Before filling choices, candidates should:

1. Check the college name and university.
2. Check the total 15% counselling seats available.
3. Check the seats available in the applicable category.
4. Check whether PwD seats are separately indicated.
5. Review the college type, particularly where the source marks a college as private.
6. Confirm fees directly with the concerned authority for private colleges.
7. Follow the latest counselling instructions before final choice filling.
8. Recheck the seat matrix whenever an updated or revised matrix is released.

Why is the college-wise seat matrix important?

A seat matrix shows where seats are available and how those seats are distributed among categories. It can therefore help candidates prepare a more informed preference list instead of choosing colleges without checking the available seat distribution.

However, the number of seats in a matrix should not be interpreted as a guaranteed allotment. Actual allotment depends on the applicable counselling rules, candidate eligibility, category, merit/rank, choices submitted and availability at the time of allotment.
