The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has changed the schedule for the first round of NEET UG 2025 counselling. In response to candidate requests, the registration period has been extended till July 31. According to the altered timeline, the Round 1 seat allocation results will be announced on August 3, rather than July 31, as initially intended. Candidates who have yet to apply for NEET UG counselling should verify the amended dates on MCC’s official website, mcc.nic.in, and apply accordingly.
MCC had previously instructed candidates applying under the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota to submit all required documents by July 26. The choice-filling procedure for Round 1 was temporarily halted due to incomplete data and seat duplication in the NEET UG 2025 seat matrix.
This counselling process will cover 15% of All India Quota seats in medical and dental colleges. Additionally, 17 AIIMS are offering around 2,000 MBBS seats, 507 BSc nursing seats across nine institutions, and nearly 14,000 seats in deemed universities. The choice-filling window has been extended until July 31, 2025. Candidates can lock their choices on the same day between 4 pm and 11:55 pm.
