NEET PG 2025 Counselling: MCC Releases Revised Schedule, Round 1 Result on November 20

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has published a revised schedule for the NEET PG 2025 counselling process. Candidates participating in the admission procedure for postgraduate medical seats can now check the updated counselling timetable on the official website, mcc.nic.in. The new schedule applies to 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats and 100% seats in Central Universities.

Updated Timeline for Round 1 Counselling

According to the MCC, the process for choice filling and choice locking for Round 1 will now take place over two days. Candidates must submit their choices by the revised deadline to be considered for seat allotment. The Round 1 result will be declared on 20 November 2025.

NEET PG is a national-level entrance exam for MBBS graduates seeking admission to MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses across India. The counselling process is conducted in multiple rounds to allocate seats in government, central, and deemed universities.

Reporting Window for Selected Candidates

Candidates allotted seats in the first round must report to their respective colleges between 21 November and 27 November 2025. During reporting, students must complete document verification, submit fees, and confirm their admission. Failing to report within the prescribed time may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.

Once the Round 1 process concludes, MCC will initiate the second round of counselling. As per the updated schedule:

• Round 2 Counselling: 1 December – 21 December 2025

• Round 3 Counselling: 22 December 2025 – 11 January 2026
