The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced key dates for the second round of NEET PG 2025 counselling. Students aiming for admission to postgraduate medical courses must note that the deadline to fill and lock their choices of colleges and courses is approaching soon. This is a critical step for all eligible candidates who want to secure a seat in MD, MS, or other PG diploma programs across India.
The choice filling process for NEET PG 2025 Round 2 counselling will close on December 12, 2025 , at 11:55 PM . After filling their choices, students must also 'lock' them. The choice locking option will be available on the same day, December 12, 2025 , from 4 PM to 11:55 PM . It is important to complete both steps before the deadline to be considered for seat allotment.
The entire counselling process, including choice filling and locking, is happening online. Students need to visit the official website of the Medical Counselling Committee, mcc.nic.in , to participate. Only those who have successfully registered for NEET PG 2025 counselling Round 2 are eligible to fill their choices.
A brief pause in the choice filling process happened earlier. On December 10, 2025 , the choice filling was stopped for four hours, from 2 PM to 6 PM . This temporary halt was due to some updates in the available seats. A few medical institutes either added new seats or withdrew some previously listed seats. After these changes were made, the choice filling process started again from 6 PM on the same day.
How to Fill and Lock Choices for NEET PG 2025 Counselling Round 2
Students must follow these steps carefully to ensure their choices are submitted correctly:
- Go to the official MCC website: mcc.nic.in .
- Look for the link related to NEET PG 2025 counselling.
- Log in to the portal using your NEET PG registration details . This will include your roll number and password.
- Once logged in, find and click on the "Choice Filling" section.
- You will see a list of available colleges and courses. Select the colleges and the postgraduate medical courses you wish to join.
- Arrange your selected choices in your preferred order. This means putting your most desired college and course combination at the top, followed by your second preference, and so on.
- Save your choices regularly after making any changes or additions. This prevents loss of data if there is an internet problem.
- After you are completely sure about your selections and their order, click on the "Lock Choices" button. This step is final and cannot be changed later.
- Once choices are locked, download and print the "Confirmation Page". Keep this page safe for any future reference during the admission process.
It is important for students to lock their choices. If you fill choices but do not lock them, your last saved choices will be automatically locked by the system at the deadline. However, it is always better to lock them manually to avoid any last-minute issues.
What Happens Next? NEET PG 2025 Round 2 Seat Allotment
After the choice filling and locking process ends on December 12, 2025 , the Medical Counselling Committee will announce the seat allotment results for Round 2. The exact date for the Round 2 seat allotment is not yet fixed. Because the choice filling deadline was extended, the MCC will release a revised schedule for the seat allotment results soon.
Students should regularly check the official MCC website, mcc.nic.in , for the latest updates on the seat allotment date and further instructions. Successful candidates will then need to complete the admission formalities at their allotted colleges.
This counselling round is a crucial step for many medical graduates to start their postgraduate specialisation. Paying close attention to deadlines and following the steps correctly will help students secure their desired medical seats.
