The NEET PG 2025 counselling process for MD, MS, and DNB admissions has been delayed, causing concern among students awaiting postgraduate medical seats. Although the NEET PG 2025 results were declared on August 19, 2025, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is yet to announce the All India Quota (AIQ) counselling schedule.
Reasons Behind NEET PG 2025 Counselling Delay
Officials and state counselling bodies have highlighted multiple reasons for the postponement:
- Seat Matrix Approval Pending:
- NMC has not yet finalised the seat matrix for newly established medical colleges.
- Approval for increased MD/MS seats in existing colleges is still awaited.
- Supreme Court Hearing Postponement:
- Continuous delays in SC hearings regarding NEET PG issues between NBE and students have contributed to the postponement.
Impact on Students
Students have expressed anxiety and frustration on social media platforms like X, citing concerns over:
- Delay in academic sessions
- Mental stress and uncertainty regarding admissions
- Difficulty in planning internships and future studies
Current Status & Next Steps
- Tamil Nadu has started state quota counselling for reserved seats.
- AIQ counselling for 50% MD, MS, and DNB seats across India will begin once MCC announces the schedule.
- Eligible candidates are those who have cleared NEET PG 2025 and scored above the qualifying percentile.
Students can monitor updates and counselling dates at the official MCC website: mcc.nic.in.
