MCC NEET UG counselling is conducted online at mcc.nic.in. For AIQ seats, there will be four rounds of NEET counselling, Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 and Stray Vacancy Round. The number of rounds will depend on the seat vacancy status. Last year, MCC announced two additional rounds of counselling for the BDS and BSc Nursing course admissions. Seat allotment is done for government and private medical colleges, deemed/central universities, ESIC/AFMS institutes, AIIMS, and JIPMER.

There are a minimum of seven steps followed at the MCC NEET counselling. Each step is described in detail below.

Step 1: Release of Seat Matrix

MCC will release the seat matrix for MBBS and BDS courses across the participating universities offering 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats. 

Step 2: Registration

Candidates have to register for the MCC NEET 2025 counselling for each round, except the Stray Vacancy round. The registration process will be completely online and candidates will have to provide data such as contact details, NEET 2025 Roll Number, Rank and Scores along with other mandatory details. Non-refundable registration fees and refundable security deposit also have to be paid. The step by step process to register for MCC NEET 2025 counselling is given below:

• Visit the official website of MCC – mcc.nic.in

• Click on the ‘New Registration 2025’ tab or directly enter the link

• Read the instructions

• Enter the mandatory details such as NEET UG roll number, parent’s name, date of birth and security code

• Select the password

• The credentials will be generated and sent to the registered email address

• Complete the registration form by entering personal, educational, NEET 2024 result and other details and uploading a scanned photograph and signature

• Pay the registration fee and take a printout of the registration confirmation page

Step 3: Choice Filling

In this segment, candidates have to select colleges to which they wish to take admission. Registered candidates will have to log in to the MCC website with their credentials and then fill in choices. MCC states, “It is advised that after going through the list of seats available, a tentative list may be prepared first as per your preference of colleges, before attempting to fill choices online.”

Step 4: Choice Locking

The next step is to lock the choices entered by them. During the choice locking period, it is necessary to lock the choices to get a print of your submitted choices. Cautioning candidates, MCC states, “Don’t wait till the last minute to register and lock your choices and to take a printout. Please go through your submitted choices before locking, as once you lock the choices they cannot be modified or changed even if you have made a mistake. It may result in the allotment of a seat which you never wanted. Please note that the choices once locked cannot be unlocked even from MCC.”

Step 5: Verification by Universities and Processing of Seat Allotment

The universities and colleges will verify the registration details and choices submitted by candidates. Accordingly, they would release the seat allotment result and share it with MCC.

Step 6: Seat Allotment Result

MCC will release the seat allotment result for candidates who had registered and submitted choices following the due process. First, a provisional result will be released and candidates will be allowed to submit objections if any and then, the final result or seat allotment list will be released. Based on their seat allotment, candidates can either accept or go for the institute reporting round. Or they may opt for an upgrade of seats. In the case of the latter, they will have to register for further rounds of counselling.

Step 7: Document Upload

After the seat allotment list is released, candidates will have to upload documents to the MCC NEET 2025 counselling website. The list of documents has been mentioned here on this page. 

In this final step, candidates will have to visit the institutes where they wish to take their medical admission. This step involves verification of the hard copy of mandatory documents and payment of admission fees.

Candidates must note that the seat allotment result will be directly released in the last and final round, which is the Stray Vacancy round. Hence, the registration or choice-filling procedure would not be applicable in this round.
