NEET SS Round 2 Counselling 2025
NEET SS Counselling: Medical Counselling Committee has announced round 2 of NEET Super Speciality counselling 2025 will remain on hold due to pending hearing Tamilvani & Others vs State of Tamil Nadu & Others. The development is linked to 151 vacant NEET Super Speciality seats including DM and MCh seats in Tamil Nadu.
MCC notice dated June 6, 2026, Supreme Court, in its order dated May 29, directed Government of Tamil Nadu to inform Director General of Health Services about 151 unfilled Super Speciality seats. Following court's direction, MCC requested state government to revert these seats to DGHS/MCC so that they could be included in ongoing NEET SS counselling process.
MCC stated that despite repeated communications and requests for early transfer of seats that are vacant, an immediate response was not received from state government. Chairman of MCC also wrote to Principal Secretary, Health, Government of Tamil Nadu, seeking compliance with Supreme Court's directions. But Tamil Nadu government informed MCC on June 5 that it had filed a review petition before Supreme Court on June 4 regarding this matter.

NEET SS scorecard is an individual document which carries information regarding candidates' obtained scores, percentiles, ranks and qualifying status. On the other hand, NEET SS merit list is a common document which consists of the list of test takers along with their scores and ranks. The NEET SS merit list is released separately for each of the 13 course groups. Both the documents are prepared by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS), the exam conducting body. The NEET SS scorecard is issued only to candidates who can download it by logging in through their registration credentials and nobody else can access it.

The NEET SS Counselling is conducted by the MCC. The NEET SS Counselling website is mcc.nic.in. Moreover, candidates can check the updates on counselling here- NEET SS Counselling.
While particpating in the NEET SS counselling process, candidates will have to get certain documents verified during the Siddartha Medical College reporting process. The list of documents that must be produced during the final round of counselling are as follows:
- NEET SS seat allotment letter
- NEET SS Result/Scorecard
- NEET SS Admit Card
- MBBS Degree Certificate
- MD/MS/DNB Degree Certificate
- Permanent Registration Certificate for MBBS/MD/MS/DNB issued by NBE

Candidates must note that the above mentioned documents or certificates must be produced in their original form. Photocopies or printouts will not be accepted by the institute authorities. Also, for the documents such as NEET SS seat allotment letter, scorecard and admit card, which are issued online and candidates have to take printout, the print should be clear and the text and photographs must be legible.
This issue has delayed NEET SS Round 2 counselling as availability of 151 vacant seats could affect seat allotment. MCC said it is examining situation and exploring legal options before taking final decision on NEET SS counselling schedule.
MCC has advised NEET SS candidates to regularly check official website and avoid relying on rumours or unofficial information. NEET SS counselling schedule and instructions will be announced after clarity comes from ongoing legal proceedings.
