The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has recently opened registrations for the NEET PG 2025 counselling process. This is an important step for all medical graduates who have successfully cleared the NEET PG 2025 examination. Students who wish to pursue higher education in medicine, such as MD (Doctor of Medicine) , MS (Master of Surgery) , or PG Diploma courses, must register online.
While the registration process has begun, the complete schedule for the NEET PG 2025 counselling is expected very soon . This schedule will list all important dates for different rounds of counselling, including when students can choose their courses and colleges, when results will be announced, and when they need to report to their allotted institutions. All official updates will be available on the MCC's official website: mcc.nic.in .
What is NEET PG and its Counselling?
The NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate) is a national-level entrance exam for admission to various postgraduate medical courses in India. After clearing this exam, eligible candidates must go through a counselling process to get a seat in their desired specialization and college. The MCC is in charge of conducting this counselling for 50% of the All India Quota (AIQ) seats in medical colleges across the country. These seats are available in both government and private medical institutions. The remaining 50% of seats are usually filled by state-level counselling bodies.
This counselling process ensures fair and transparent allocation of seats based on the candidate's rank in the NEET PG exam, their preferences, and the availability of seats. It is a critical stage for aspiring specialist doctors who want to further their medical studies.
Who Can Apply for NEET PG 2025 Counselling?
Only those candidates who have appeared for and successfully qualified in the NEET PG 2025 examination are eligible to participate in the counselling. It is mandatory for them to register online on the MCC website to be considered for any seat allocation. Without online registration, a candidate cannot take part in the counselling rounds.
How the Counselling Process Works (Rounds)
The NEET PG counselling is typically conducted in several rounds to ensure that as many seats as possible are filled. For NEET PG 2025, it is likely that the counselling will be held in four main rounds . These rounds usually include:
- Round 1: Initial seat allocation based on preferences and rank.
- Round 2: Seats not filled in Round 1, or those vacated by candidates, are offered.
- Mop-Up Round: A third round for remaining seats, often with revised eligibility criteria.
- Stray Vacancy Round: A final round to fill any remaining seats, usually conducted directly by the colleges.
In each round, candidates can register (if they haven't already), fill their choices of colleges and courses, and lock them. The MCC then processes these choices and announces seat allotment results. Candidates who receive a seat must then download their allotment letter and report to the assigned college for document verification and admission within a given timeframe. It is important to complete all steps carefully.
