What is NEET PG Counselling?
NEET PG counselling is the official process where students get seats in medical colleges after passing the NEET PG exam. It involves several steps. Students first register, then choose colleges and courses they want. After this, seats are given out based on their exam score, available seats, and reservation rules. It is a key step to get into postgraduate medical programs.
How to Fill and Lock Choices
Choosing colleges and courses online is a critical step. Candidates must log in to the official UP NEET PG counselling portal. Inside, they will find a list of available colleges and courses. Students can arrange these choices in the order of their preference. For example, if a student wants College A more than College B, they should put College A first.
It is very important to lock these choices before the deadline, which is November 24, 2025, at 11 AM . If choices are not locked, the system will not consider them for seat allotment. Once choices are locked, candidates cannot change them. So, students should carefully review their selections before locking.
After Seat Allotment Result
The seat allotment result will be put up on the official website on November 26, 2025 . Students can check their status by logging in with their personal details. The result will show which college and course a student has been given.
If a candidate gets a seat, they must complete two main steps:
- Accept the Seat and Pay Fees: Candidates must accept the allotted seat within the given time. This usually involves paying a part of the college fee.
- Report to College: After accepting the seat, candidates must go to the college they got. They need to report between November 27 to 29, 2025 , and from December 1 to 5, 2025 . At the college, they will verify all their original documents. This step is a must to confirm the admission.
Important Guidelines for Candidates
Students must remember these rules to avoid any problems during counselling:
- Only registered candidates who have paid the required security fee can fill in their course and college choices.
- Always lock your chosen colleges and courses. Unlocked choices will not be considered for seat allotment.
- Once choices are locked, you cannot change or edit them. Make sure all selections are correct before locking.
- Check the seat allotment result on the online portal using your login details.
Option to Upgrade Seat
If a student is not happy with the seat they got in the first round, they have an option to ask for an upgrade. This means they can choose to take part in the next round of counselling. By doing this, they hope to get a better or more preferred seat in a different college or course. However, candidates must still accept the current seat and complete the necessary steps if they wish to keep it as a backup while hoping for an upgrade in later rounds.
