The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is closing the **choice filling and locking process** for the first round of NEET PG 2025 counselling today, **November 21, 2025**. Students who passed the NEET PG exam and want to get into postgraduate medical courses like **MD**, **MS**, **PG Diploma**, and **DNB** in colleges across India must submit their choices online by today. This is the last chance for them to select their preferred colleges and courses through the official website, **mcc.nic.in**.
The MCC had given students an extra opportunity to fill and lock their choices. This happened because **239 new postgraduate medical seats** were added in deemed universities. At the same time, **235 DNB seats** were removed from the counselling process. These changes made it necessary to extend the choice filling period to allow students to adjust their preferences.

What Happens After Choice Locking?
Once students lock their choices today, the Medical Counselling Committee will start the process of **seat allotment**. This means the system will look at all the choices submitted by students and their NEET PG ranks. It will then assign seats in medical colleges based on these choices and ranks, following the rules for admission.
The results for this **Round 1 seat allotment** will be announced tomorrow, **November 22, 2025**. Students will be able to check these results on the official website, **mcc.nic.in**. It is important for all candidates to regularly check the website for the latest updates.
Reporting to Colleges
Students who get a seat in Round 1 will then need to complete the next steps. They must report to their assigned medical college between **November 23, 2025**, and **December 1, 2025**. During this period, students must submit all required documents for verification and complete other admission formalities. If a student does not report to the college within this timeframe, they might lose their allotted seat.
Students should make sure all their documents are ready for the admission process. This includes their NEET PG scorecard, admit card, academic certificates, and identity proof. Staying updated with the official MCC website is crucial for all medical aspirants during this counselling phase.
