NEET PG 2025 Counselling Eligibility

To participate, candidates must meet the NEET PG 2025 Counselling eligibility, which is based on the revised qualifying cutoffs set by the MCC. Only those who meet the NEET PG 2025 Reduced Cutoff can join the counselling rounds, ensuring that only qualified applicants proceed to seat allotment.

NEET PG 2025 Counselling Process Overview

MCC conducts the NEET PG 2025 Counselling for 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats. State authorities handle counselling for the remaining 50% state quota seats. The process involves online registration, choice filling, seat allotment results, and reporting to the allotted institute.

Registration Process

Candidates register on the official MCC website. New registrations are accepted before each round. If already registered, re-registration is not needed. The process involves filling personal and academic details and paying a non-refundable registration fee.

Choice Filling

This is a critical step where candidates select desired colleges and courses from MCC's list. Candidates can add or delete options. It is important to review choices before submission. Locking choices is essential; otherwise, they lock automatically after the deadline. Seat allocation relies heavily on these filled choices. NEET PG Counselling 2025: Choice Filling (Started) for Round-3 is now active.

Seat Allotment Result

MCC publishes seat allotment results as a PDF for each round. The result lists candidate details, rank, allotted course, and institute. Candidates can download their seat allotment letter after logging in. This step follows choice filling and processing.

Reporting

After seat allotment, candidates must report to the allocated institute. They bring original documents for verification. Paying the required fee confirms the seat. Failure to report means forfeiture of the candidature.

NEET PG 2025 Reservation 

Final seat allocation includes reservation criteria. This provides 27% for OBC, 10% for EWS, 15% for SC, 7.5% for ST, and 5% for PwD candidates for 50% AIQ seats. Candidates need valid certificates to claim these benefits.

NEET PG 2025 Reduced Cutoff

The National Board of Examinations (NBE) recently reduced the NEET PG 2025 cutoff scores. This change aims to include more students in the counselling process and fill vacant seats. The revised cutoffs apply to all categories for remaining counselling rounds.

The NEET PG 2025 Revised Cutoff shows the minimum percentile and scores required for different categories to be eligible for counselling. This helps students understand their eligibility for the NEET PG Counselling 2025.
