All applicants who will qualify for AIQ seats based on their rank in the NEET UG result, except those from the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, were eligible for the MCC NEET counselling process.

Candidates have to register for the NEET 2025 counselling for each round, including the Stray Vacancy round. The registration process is completely online, and candidates have to provide data such as contact details, NEET 2025 Roll Number, Rank and Scores along with other mandatory details. Non-refundable registration fees and a refundable security deposit also have to be paid.

Choice Filling

In this segment, candidates have to select colleges to which they wish to take admission.

Choice Locking

The next step is to lock the choices entered by them. During the choice locking period, it is necessary to lock the choices to get a print of your submitted choices. Cautioning candidates, MCC stated, “Don’t wait till the last minute to register and lock your choices and to take a printout. Please go through your submitted choices before locking, as once you lock the choices, they cannot be modified or changed even if you have made a mistake. It may result in the allotment of a seat which you never wanted. Please note that the choices once locked cannot be unlocked even from MCC.”

Seat Allotment Result

MCC releases the seat allotment result separately for each round for participating candidates. First, a provisional result is released and candidates are allowed to submit objections if any and then the final result or seat allotment list is released. Based on their seat allotment, candidates can either accept or go for the institute reporting round. Or they could opt for an upgrade of the allotted seats. In the case of the latter, they had to register for further rounds of counselling.
