Use NowThe Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has opened the choice filling facility for the NEET PG round 1 counselling 2025 for admission to 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats. The NEET PG counselling 2025 schedule was issued after much delay and uncertainty due to the pending Supreme Court case.
The NEET PG seat matrix for AIQ, central internal quota, deemed universities, and final DNB have been uploaded on the official website, mcc.nic.in. Candidates who have qualified in the NEET PG 2025 exam conducted by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) will be eligible to register and fill choices.
