NEET UG Counselling Process

The NEET 2025 counselling process is structured around four pivotal phases to allocate medical and dental seats to qualified candidates. 

1. Firstly, Round 1 initiates the counselling, allowing candidates to register, fill in their preferences, and subsequently, the seat allotment results are announced. Following this
2. Round 2 proceeds with a similar pattern for candidates who were either not allotted a seat in Round 1 or wish to participate for an upgrade. If seats remain vacant after these two rounds,
3.  Round 3, also known as the Mop-up Round, is conducted to fill those vacancies with a fresh round of registration and choice filling. 
4. In the final stage of the initial counselling, the Stray Vacancy Round is organised to address any remaining unfilled seats, which often arise due to candidates not joining their allotted seats or due to cancellations.
5.  Post these four core rounds, additional counselling rounds may be conducted if a substantial number of seats are still vacant. 

The decision to conduct supplementary rounds, and the number of such rounds, is entirely dependent on the real-time situation of seat availability and the directives issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) or the relevant state authorities. This ensures maximum seat allocation transparency and efficiency.
