The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially commenced the second round of the counselling process for NEET PG 2025 under the All India Quota (AIQ). This crucial phase follows the completion of Round 1 allotments for medical and dental postgraduate seats across the country.
NEET PG Round 2: Complete Schedule and Process
According to the revised schedule released by the MCC, the registration and fee payment window for Round 2 opened on December 5, 2025. Candidates have a limited window to complete the multi-step process, which will determine their seat allotment for this academic year.
The detailed timeline for NEET PG 2025 AIQ Round 2 counselling is as follows:
- Registration & Fee Payment: December 5 to December 9, 2025
- Choice Filling: December 6 to December 9, 2025
- Choice Locking: Until 11:55 PM on December 9, 2025
- Seat Allotment Processing: December 10 to December 11, 2025
- Result Announcement: December 12, 2025
- Reporting to Allotted Colleges: December 13 to December 21, 2025
Prospective candidates must adhere strictly to these deadlines. The committee has emphasized that no extensions will be granted for the reporting period after the results are declared.
Who is Eligible for Round 2 Counselling?
The MCC has clearly defined the eligibility criteria for participation in this round of NEET PG counselling. The following categories of candidates can register:
First, those who did not receive any seat allotment in Round 1 are eligible to register afresh and submit their preferred choices. Second, candidates who were allotted a seat in the first round but wish to upgrade to a better option can also participate. However, they must note that they will be governed by the seat retention rules from Round 1.
Furthermore, candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 but did not report to the assigned college are permitted to register for Round 2. They must, however, comply with the applicable seat forfeiture norms. It is critical to remember that only NEET PG 2025 qualified candidates are eligible for this AIQ Round 2 process. The MCC has also issued a strict warning: candidates who are allotted a seat in Round 2 will not be permitted to resign after the conclusion of this round.
Step-by-Step Guide for Registration and Choice Filling
Aspiring postgraduate medical students must complete the entire process online via the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in). Here is a simplified guide to the steps involved:
- Visit the official NEET PG counselling page on the MCC website.
- Initiate a new registration using your NEET PG roll number, date of birth, and security credentials.
- Pay the requisite registration fee and security deposit as per your category.
- From December 6, access the choice-filling module and carefully enter your preferred combinations of courses and colleges in order of priority.
- It is mandatory to lock your choices before the deadline of 11:55 PM on December 9, 2025. Unlocked choices will not be considered for allotment.
- After locking, wait for the seat allotment processing scheduled for December 10 and 11.
Experts strongly advise candidates to double-check all entries before the final lock, as the locked choice list will be the sole basis for the computerized seat allotment.
Reporting After Allotment Result
The Round 2 seat allotment result will be published on December 12, 2025. Successful candidates must act promptly for the final admission step.
All allotted candidates are required to report in person to their respective colleges between December 13 and December 21, 2025. During reporting, they must submit original documents for verification, including the allotment letter, identity proof, fee payment receipt, and relevant category certificates (if applicable). The allotted institutions will verify these documents and confirm the admission within this stipulated reporting period. Failure to report within these dates will lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat.
