What is NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate) is a national-level exam for doctors in India. This exam helps them get admission to postgraduate medical courses like MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MS (Master of Surgery). After passing the exam, students go through a counselling process. This process allows them to choose colleges and courses based on their exam rank. The MCC handles this counselling for seats in central universities, deemed universities, and the All India Quota.
How to Fill Your College Choices
To get a seat, students must fill their choices carefully. Follow these steps:
- Login to the official MCC website using your roll number and password.
- Look for the link to 'Choice Filling'.
- Before filling, check the 'Seat Matrix'. This is a list showing all available seats in different colleges and categories. Checking this helps you know which colleges have vacant seats.
- Select the colleges and courses you prefer from the available list.
- Arrange your selected colleges in order of your preference. Put your most desired college and course combination at the top, followed by your next choices.
- You can add many colleges to your list. Filling more choices increases your chances of getting a seat.
Understanding Choice Locking
After you fill your choices, you must 'lock' them. Choice locking means you confirm your selected colleges and their order. Once locked, you cannot change your choices. The choice locking period is on November 18, 2025 , from 4:00 PM to 11:55 PM . Make sure you are completely sure about your choices before locking them. It is good practice to print a copy of your locked choices for your records.
What Happens After Choice Locking?
After the choice locking period ends, the MCC processes all the choices. Based on your rank, preferences, and seat availability, a college seat will be allotted to you. This result will be published on November 20, 2025 .
- Check Result: Visit the official MCC website to see your seat allotment result.
- Download Allotment Letter: If you get a seat, download your official allotment letter.
- Report to College: You must report to the allotted college between November 21 and November 27, 2025 . Take all necessary documents with you for verification and admission.
- Verification by Institutes: Colleges will verify the details of joined candidates from November 28 to November 30, 2025 .
Important Points to Remember
Students must follow these revised dates strictly. Do not miss any deadline for choice filling or reporting to colleges. For any further details or updates, always visit the official MCC website. Staying updated will help you complete the counselling process smoothly.
