NEET UG Round One Counselling 2025: Following several requests from NRI/CW applicants and continuing legal proceedings, MCC extended the round one choice locking facility once more. The Round 1 choice filling period has been extended till Monday, August 11, at 11:59 p.m., as stated on the official website. Previously, August 11 was the scheduled publication date for the NEET UG round one seat allocation list.
Due to technical issues with the official website, the MCC had already extended the deadline to August 7 at 1:30 pm, giving candidates more time to choose the medical and dentistry schools of their choice.
To confirm their admission, candidates who are selected for a seat in the first round must download their allotment letter and show up to the designated college by the deadline. People can wait for the next counseling session if they are unable to get a seat or would like to take part in further rounds. On August 11, the MCC will make the results and comprehensive reporting criteria available.

According to data from the National Medical Commission (NMC), a sizable portion of undergraduate medical seats in India are still unfilled, even though the number of MBBS seats has increased by 39% in recent years. Anupriya Patel, Minister of State in the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, presented the data before the Lok Sabha on August 1. Putta Mahesh Kumar, a member of the Telugu Desam Party, posed the unstarred query.
The number of open UG seats (except from AIIMS and JIPMER) peaked at 4,146 in 2022–2023 before gradually declining to 2,849 in 2024–2025. In contrast, the number of MBBS seats increased from 83,275 in 2020–2021 to 1,15,900 by 2024–2025.
