NEET PG Counselling 2025 Postponed – MCC Extends Choice Filling

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially extended the NEET PG 2025 Round 1 choice filling and locking process until further notice. The delay comes after the National Medical Commission (NMC) began revising the seat matrix for several medical colleges. The updated schedule for choice locking, seat processing, and Round 1 seat allotment will soon be announced on the MCC website — mcc.nic.in.

MCC Revises Counselling Schedule Amid Seat Matrix Changes

The NEET PG 2025 counselling process has been temporarily paused to accommodate updates to the All India Quota (AIQ) and state quota seat distributions. This postponement has impacted thousands of postgraduate medical aspirants awaiting MD, MS, and diploma admissions. As per MCC, the revision aims to ensure fair allocation across medical institutions that recently received approval for new courses or seat upgrades. Once the revised seat matrix is finalised, MCC will resume the Round 1 allotment procedure immediately.

Why NEET PG 2025 Counselling Was Delayed?

The MCC has clarified that the National Medical Commission (NMC) is currently finalising the revised seat matrix for both government and private medical colleges. The delay was necessary to prevent mismatches during seat allocation. The authorities have confirmed that once the revised data is uploaded, the seat allotment process will resume without restarting registrations. Candidates are advised to regularly check the MCC portal (mcc.nic.in) for the latest schedule and updates regarding Round 1 results and reporting dates.

NEET PG 2025 State Counselling Updates

Alongside the MCC’s All India Quota, various states have released their own updates regarding the ongoing state-level NEET PG 2025 counselling.

What’s Next for NEET PG Candidates?

Once the seat matrix revision concludes, MCC will publish the Round 1 seat allotment results, followed by reporting and document verification. Subsequent rounds, including mop-up and stray vacancy rounds, will proceed as per the updated calendar. Candidates are encouraged to monitor both MCC and respective state counselling portals to avoid missing revised deadlines.
