MCC NEET Counselling 2025: Step-by-Step Process
The MCC NEET 2025 counselling process consists of at least seven stages. Here is a detailed look at each stage:
Stage 1: Seat Matrix Release
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) releases the seat Matrix of MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing Courses available in each of the participating colleges under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ).
Stage 2: Registration
Candidates must register for each round of counseling, including the Stray Vacancy Round. The registration process is only done online. During the registration process, candidates must provide certain additional information, including NEET 2025 Roll Number, Rank, Score, and contact information. Candidates must also make payment for the non-refundable Registration Charges and a refundable Security Deposit.
Stage 3: Choice filling
After registering, candidates can make choices of courses and colleges during the choice filling on the MCC portal. It is suggested by MCC that candidates should first make a tentative list of choices by taking into account the available seats and personal preference, then fill their choices online.
Pro Tip: Go through the seat matrix carefully so that you make better choices during the choice filling.
Step 4: Locking Your Choices
After filling in your choices, candidates have to lock the choices during the window period as specified. The MCC has warned that once you lock the choices, you cannot edit or change them under any circumstances. So, it is important to go through the list and confirm with yourself just before submitting and locking the choices. The locked choices must be printed out.
Step 5: Seat Allotment Results
The MCC publishes a provisional seat allotment result for all rounds. If there are any objections to the allotment, the candidates can raise their objections before the final result is published. Then, based on the final allotment, candidates can:
Accept the seat and join the allotment institute
Opt to upgrade to the next round(If eligible)
Re-register for the new round if they are not happy with their allotment
Step 6: Reporting to the Institute
Candidates who have been allotted will have to report to the referenced institute in person within the stipulated period. They must take the original documents for verification and pay the admission fee as stated by the institute.
Step 7: University Verification and Seat Confirmation
After a candidate reports and joins, the concerned university or college checks the documents and registration information submitted by them. This is done to ensure final confirmation and processing of the candidate’s admission based on information provided by MCC.
