Why Was NEET PG 2026 Round 2 Counselling Postponed?

The NEET PG 2026 Round 2 counselling schedule was revised because of the submission of newly approved postgraduate medical seats by NMC.

The main reason behind the postponement is the institute-level verification of the updated seat matrix. The concerned institutes must check the number of available seats in each postgraduate course after applying the applicable reservation roster.

The key developments are:

• November 3, 2026: NMC submitted the seat matrix for newly approved Round 2 postgraduate medical seats.

• November 3–6, 2026: Concerned institutes are required to verify the updated seat matrix after applying the reservation roster.

• November 7, 2026: MCC will commence the revised Round 2 counselling schedule.

The verification process is important to ensure that the correct number of seats is reflected in the counselling process and that candidates receive accurate allotment information.
