MCC extends NEET PG 2025 counselling round 1; latest statewise MD, MS seat allotment news
NEET PG 2025 counselling: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced an extension for the NEET PG 2025 round 1 choice filling and locking process. Candidates seeking MD and MS admissions under both All India Quota (AIQ) and state quota seats must now wait for further updates, as the counselling process has been temporarily postponed. The extension comes amid a revision of the seat matrix by the National Medical Commission (NMC).The delay has affected thousands of medical aspirants across India, leaving students anxious about the admission process. MCC has clarified that the revised schedule, including choice filling, seat allotment processing, and result declaration, will be published on the official website: mcc.nic.in. The revised dates will govern both AIQ and state quota counselling rounds.Reason for extension and seat matrix revisionThe MCC stated that the postponement is due to the NMC revising the seat matrix for several medical colleges.

These new seats will be included in the revised seat matrix, potentially increasing opportunities for NEET PG candidates for the current academic session.State-wise counselling updatesHere is the statewise update on the current status of NEET PG 2025 counselling:
