The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) began the NEET UG Counselling 2025 on July 21 via its official portal mcc.nic.in, inviting over 12 lakh qualified candidates to compete for roughly 1.15 lakh MBBS and BDS seats in medical and dental colleges across India.

The first counselling round registration is open until July 28, followed by choice filling, seat allotment, and reporting schedules planned through early August. Alongside the MCC’s centralised counselling for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats and central institutions, various states have commenced their own counselling processes for state quota seats.

A Transparent and Coordinated Counselling Process

NEET UG Counselling under MCC covers 15% AIQ seats for MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing seats in government colleges, AIIMS, JIPMER, BHU, AMU, and some universities. Round 1 registration opened on July 21 and closes by July 28, with choice filling starting July 22 and locking by July 28. Seat allotment is scheduled between July 29 and 30, with results announced on July 31.

Selected candidates must report to allotted colleges between August 1 and 6. States such as Uttar Pradesh, Telangana, Jharkhand, and Punjab have begun separate counselling for their 85% state quota. Officials advise candidates to carefully read the official information bulletin and prepare required documents to ensure smooth registration and admission.
