The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released an updated schedule for the NEET PG counselling process for 50 per cent All India Quota seats and 100 per cent seats in deemed and central universities, respectively. The new schedule includes new dates for registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting for all four rounds.
As per the revised plan, the choice filling and choice locking process for the first round has begun on November 17, 2025, and the seat allotment result for the first round will be declared on November 20, 2025. All counselling activities will be conducted online through the official portal mcc.nic.in.

NEET PG Counselling 2025 is being conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for admission to postgraduate medical courses (MD / MS / PG Diploma / DNB) under the 50% All India Quota (AIQ), central and deemed universities, and other participating institutions. Meanwhile, the remaining 50% of state quota seats are handled by respective state authorities. 
Round 1 is the first phase in this process—this is where qualified candidates can register, select their preferred courses and colleges, and receive seat allotments based on rank, preferences, and seat availability. 

According to the counseling schedule, registration for the first round of MCC NEET PG counseling 2025 will end on November 5, 2025. However, it has been extended to November 14, 2025. Students can fill the NEET PG counseling 2025 form online at mcc.nic.in. 

Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has already begun Round 1 choice-filling NEET PG 2025 Counselling. The MD, MS and Diploma courses under the All India quota and the central universities start the centralised seat allocation. The choice-filling window was opened on November 17 and will be open until November 18. Following this, MCC shall take the options and release the Round 1 allotment list on November 20. The counselling schedule this year is a bit shorter due to the fact the seat matrix was revised late and must be adjusted to the academic schedule. Those candidates who are already registered now have to fill and lock their options by the deadline. Reporting and document checking will be done until November 30 according to the official schedule after the release of the allotment.

• In past years, Round 1 stretches over several weeks, from registration through seat allotment to reporting.
• Delays and regulatory issues have been observed in 2025, including Supreme Court hearings and dependencies on official notifications.

Because of these ongoing developments, aspirants must monitor the MCC “PG Medical Counselling” / “News & Events – PG” pages regularly for real-time updates. 

Important Reminders

1. Registration: Qualified candidates must register on the MCC portal by entering their NEET PG roll number, registration number, personal details, etc.
2. Payment & Security Deposit: During registration, candidates need to pay a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit (amounts vary by category).
3. Choice Filling & Locking of Preferences: After registration, candidates will see seat matrices (colleges, specialties, and categories) and must fill their preferences (courses + colleges). These have to be locked by the deadline. If not locked manually, some systems auto-lock.
4. Seat Allotment: Based on NEET PG rank, the candidate’s category, and preferences, MCC will generate a provisional allotment list of seats in this round.
5. Reporting & Document Verification: Candidates allotted a seat must report to the assigned institute, present required documents for verification, and complete admission formalities (fee payment, joining).
6. Upgradation / Withdrawal (if allowed): If rules allow, candidates may opt for upgradation (if a better option becomes available in later rounds) or may resign from the seat (subject to deadlines).

What Students Should Watch Out For

• Strict adherence to deadlines — missing registration, locking, or reporting windows may disqualify you for that round.
• Choice strategy — don’t skip good options early; balance safety and aspirational choices.
• Document readiness — have all required certificates (MBBS marksheets, internship certificate, registration certificates, identity proof, etc.) ready for verification.
• Keep checking MCC updates — since some parts of the schedule are tentative, any change could impact your plan.
• Understand refund policies — the security deposit is often refundable if you abide by the rules and timely withdrawal (if needed).
