The NEET PG-2025 counselling process — overseen by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for All India Quota (AIQ) and by state medical authorities for State Quota — is currently in full flow with important developments as of December 29, 2025. Here’s the latest verified information every candidate should know:
🧭 1. MCC Round 3 Counselling Begins
- The NEET PG 2025 counselling Round 3 has commenced for both AIQ/Deemed/Central universities and will precede state rounds in most regions. Registration started on December 26, 2025 on the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in).
- Key dates include:
- Round 3 registration & choice filling: December 26 onwards (check MCC official portal for cut-offs).
- State quota counselling tied to Round 3 is expected from early January 2026 in most states.
This round offers candidates an important opportunity to upgrade seats or opt for new seats made available due to reshuffles after Round 2.
📈 2. Round 2 Results & Reporting Extensions
- Many states are declaring Round 2 counselling results — for example Andhra Pradesh published its provisional seat allotment recently, with grievance windows open for objections.
- Telangana has also officially released its Round 2 counselling results, allowing eligible candidates to report or prepare for upgrades.
- MCC extended the reporting and resignation deadline for candidates allotted seats in Rounds 1 & 2 to December 29, 2025 (with security deposit forfeiture if resigning after deadlines).
- In several cases, the reporting deadline for Round 2 was extended by MCC and some state bodies to enable smooth transitions for candidates awaiting Round 3.
🏛️ 3. Key State Actions & Final Registration Windows
- Madhya Pradesh has reopened registration for its state NEET PG counselling, offering a final chance for candidates who did not register earlier. The window is open through January 3, 2026.
- Several other state medical counselling authorities continue to update their schedules with seat matrices and counselling dates, in alignment with MCC timelines.
🧠 4. What This Means for Candidates
📌 If You Are Participating in Round 3:
✔ Ensure your Round 3 registration & choice locking is complete early on the MCC portal.
✔ Track your AIQ/all India status — upgrades may be possible depending on preferences.
✔ Be mindful of reporting deadlines if a seat is allotted.
📌 If You Have a State Quota Seat:
✔ Many state counselling rounds conclude in January 2026; keep checking respective state medical websites.
✔ Some states are still providing extended registration windows or supplemental rounds.
📌 Important Administrative Updates:
✔ MCC extended reporting and resignation deadlines to help candidates manage delays in state counselling announcements.
✔ Always refer back to the official MCC / state counselling portals — unofficial sites may not reflect final changes.
💡 Tips for Candidates
- Regularly log into the MCC portal (mcc.nic.in) for real-time notifications and updates.
- Check state counselling websites (e.g., UP, MP, Telangana, AP) for localized schedules.
- Frequently verify your allotted status and document requirements to avoid missing deadlines.
- Follow official notices rather than social media or unverified groups when making decision-critical moves.
In summary: The NEET PG 2025 counselling wave is at a decisive stage, with Round 3 underway, key result announcements rolling out, and state registrations still in progress. Candidates should be proactive, keep track of deadlines, and prioritize official portals for the most accurate information.
