MCC NEET Counselling 2025 Steps and Events
Counselling: 19 Oct ' 25 - 27 Oct ' 25
MCC is the conducting body for the 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats. 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. The seats that will remain unfilled after all the rounds of NEET counselling at AIQ will be given to the relevant states for the state-level counselling processes.
There are a minimum of seven steps followed at the MCC NEET counselling. Each step is described in detail below.
Step 1: Release of Seat Matrix
MCC released the seat matrix for MBBS, BDS and BSc Nursing courses across the participating universities offering 15 per cent All India Quota (AIQ) seats.
Step 2: Registration
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.
In this segment, candidates have to select colleges to which they wish to take admission. Registered candidates have to log in to the MCC website with their credentials and then fill in their choices. MCC stated, “It is advised that after going through the list of seats available, a tentative list may be prepared first as per your preference of colleges, before attempting to fill choices online.”

Step 4: 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.”
Step 5: 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.

The universities and colleges verify the registration details of the joined candidates based on data shared by MCC.
