 Factors to Consider for NEET 2024 Counselling Choice Locking

Candidates must note the following points before the final choice locking process:

  • The registration process including the payment of the registration fee is complete before proceeding towards the choice filling and locking stages.
  • Male candidates must ensure that they do not select female-only colleges such Lady Hardinge Medical Colleges, New Delhi; BPS Govt. Medical College for Women, Sonepat; Ahilya Bai College of Nursing, New Delhi, to name a few.
  • Once the choice locking process is completed, there will not be any option to revoke or change the choices. Hence, candidates must be careful during this process.

Q:   Is it necessary to join allotted Medical/Dental College of Round 1 to get chance to participate in Round 2 of NEET counselling?
A:

No, candidates need not report or join the allotted college of NEET counselling Round 1 since there is free exit. However if they want to retain the Round 1 seat and upgrade in Round 2 they have to physically join the college of Round 1 and give up-gradation willingness for Round 2 at the time of admission. In case candidates decide to resign the seat allotted to them in the first round, then they can do so prior to registering in the next round of NEET counselling.
