How Counselling Works

NEET PG MCC Counselling Rounds

01

Round 1

Registration, payment and choice filling for eligible MCC PG seats. Fill speciality + institute choices carefully.

Start with all acceptable MD/MS/DNB options; do not leave important choices only because last year's cutoff looks high.

02

Round 2

Fresh or updated choice filling is usually allowed as per MCC schedule. Check upgrade, reporting and resignation rules before decision.

Use Round 1 result, vacancies and cutoff movement to reorder your choices safely.

03

Round 3 / Mop-up

Remaining seats after earlier rounds may be processed under Round 3/Mop-up, based on official schedule and eligibility.

Recheck eligibility, security deposit and joining rules; a mistake here can block further options.

04

Stray / Special Stray Vacancy

Final attempt for leftover seats, if notified by MCC or state authorities

Participate only after reading the latest notice because eligibility, deposit, joining and resignation rules can change.

Overview

NEET PG Counselling Explained in Simple Words

What is NEET PG counselling?

NEET PG counselling is the seat allotment process for postgraduate medical courses such as MD, MS, PG Diploma and eligible DNB/NBEMS routes. Candidates use their NEET PG rank, category, quota and preferences to participate in MCC PG and state counselling.

How is PG counselling different from UG counselling?

In PG counselling, speciality choice is as important as institute choice. Students must compare branch, hospital exposure, stipend, bond, fees, location and future career scope before filling choices.

Which counselling routes should I check?

Check MCC PG/AIQ, Deemed/Central/ESIC/AFMS route if eligible, DNB options and your eligible state quota counselling. Each route has separate rules, deadlines and documents.

Does prediction guarantee a PG seat?

No. Prediction gives guidance based on past cutoffs and preferences. Final allotment depends on rank, eligibility, seat matrix, choices, reservation, document verification and official rules.

What details are needed for NEET PG prediction?

NEET PG AIR/rank, category, quota, domicile, preferred specialities, institute type, bond preference, fees/budget and eligible counselling routes.
