NEET PG seat matrix 2025

The Gujarat NEET counselling committee has uploaded the NEET PG seat matrix 2025 approved by NMC as of October 13. The commission had earlier clarified that the medical colleges offering PG courses are not required to seek fresh recognition of existing seats.

With 52,244 seats available for 1.28 lakh candidates, only two out of five are likely to secure a seat in this year’s NEET PG counselling.

As per the data shared by the ministry of health and family welfare (MoHFW) in April 2025, the number of PG seats has increased from 31,185 before 2014 to 74,306 at present. However, the latest NMC approved seat matrix published on the Gujarat counselling portal shows 49,907 seats and a separate list with 2,337 newly approved seats.

Candidates are advised to wait for the final seat matrix, which will be issued on the MCC portal. The NMC and MCC will be continuously updating the list depending on the approval. The MBBS seat matrix has also been updated multiple times due to NMC granting approval and recognition to medical colleges across the country.
