With the NEET PG 2025 results officially declared by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) on 26 June, the next step will include counselling and the seat allocation process. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will be conducting the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling, which is expected to begin with the registration anytime after 21 August 2025 for postgraduate medical admissions.
This year, over 2.30 lakh candidates appeared for the NEET PG exam, which was held on August 3. Out of which, 1.28 lakh qualified for the counselling round. The counselling will determine admissions of the candidates into MD, MS, and PG Diploma programs across various government, private, and deemed universities in India.
Key Highlights of NEET PG 2025 Counselling
The counselling process will be conducted entirely online through the official MCC portal that is mcc.nic.in. Candidates who meet the qualifying cut-off of 276 marks for General and EWS, 255 for General PwBD, and 235 for SC/ST/OBC categories are eligible to participate in the process.
The counselling will be held in multiple rounds. Which are:
Round 1
Round 2
Mop-Up Round
Stray Vacancy Round
Each round in the counselling process will include registration, choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting to the allotted institute. Candidates must ensure timely registration and locking of choices, as failure to do so will result in exclusion from that round.
