NEET 2025 Medical Counselling Process

For NEET UG 2025, the counselling process for candidates who have succeeded in securing seats under the 15% All India Quota and all seats in Deemed Universities, Central Universities, ESIC & AFMC (including Delhi University, BHU, & AMU) will be managed by the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) on behalf of the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). This is expected to take place around the second week of June and is specifically for admission to MBBS and BDS courses.

On the other hand, counselling for seats under the jurisdiction of other States, Universities, and Institutions will follow separate notifications issued by the respective authorities. The merit lists will be created by the admitting/counselling authorities based on the categories declared by candidates at the time of applying for admission or counselling.

Counselling for Seats Under 15% All India Quota and all seats in Central Institutions Including AFMC, ESI, Delhi University (DU), BHU & AMU and Deemed Universities

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) of the Directorate General of Health Services will conduct online counselling for NEET UG 2021. You can find all the information about counselling on the MCC website (www.mcc.nic.in). If you’ve qualified, it’s important to carefully read the counselling details and know the steps you need to take.

For 15% All India Quota seats, the counselling will happen in two rounds. Central & Deemed Universities will have three rounds: First Round, Second Round, and Mop-Up Round.

Counselling for seats other than 15% All India Seats

Candidates seeking admission to State Medical Colleges/Universities/Institutions based on the NEET (UG) – 2024 merit list should adhere to the guidelines provided by the State Government and/or authorities of the concerned Medical/Dental colleges/Institution/University for counselling. Counselling for Private Medical Colleges (excluding Deemed) will be conducted in collaboration with the respective State Governments.

The merit list for candidates, categorized as declared by them during admission/counselling applications, will be compiled by the admitting/counselling authorities. Once the opportunity to make changes in candidate data is closed, NTA will not modify any information. Post result declaration, NTA will not entertain any requests for data alterations.

Candidates have provided their categories in the application form based on the Central Category List. For counselling and admission to seats other than the 15% All India Quota, candidates must register according to their eligibility, specifying the category based on the State category list. The merit list will be prepared accordingly by the concerned counselling authorities. Domicile criteria will follow the guidelines of the respective State, with NTA having no role in it. During counselling, eligibility criteria, self-declaration, and verification of various documents will be conducted as per norms specified by the authorities or Medical/Dental Colleges.

It’s important to note that, with the exception of AIIMS and JIPMER, all medical colleges in India will admit students based on NEET 2024 marks. Candidates who qualify the exam should prepare for both All India and State level NEET 2024 counselling sessions. MCC handles counselling for 15% of the seats in government medical colleges, while state counselling authorities manage the remaining 85%. Deemed and central universities’ counselling for 100% seats is overseen by the MCC. In contrast, admission counselling for private and self-financed colleges is entirely managed by the respective state counselling authorities or committees.

For Deemed Universities, a non-refundable registration fee of INR 5,000 will be charged from all candidates.
