NEET PG 2025: Know state-wise counselling status

NEET PG Counselling 2025: For many candidates, the biggest challenge during NEET PG counselling is the lack of uniformity in timelines. In earlier cycles — most notably in 2024 — delays were caused by last-minute revisions in seat matrices by the National Medical Commission (NMC).

With the counselling season underway, all eyes are now on state-wise updates, as the pace of announcements traditionally varies significantly across states.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Postgraduate (NEET PG 2025) counselling process is administered through a combined central and state mechanism. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) oversees the all India quota (AIQ), deemed universities, and central institutions, while individual state medical counselling authorities manage admissions to state quota seats and state-run institutions.

With the counselling season underway, all eyes are now on state-wise updates, as the pace of announcements traditionally varies significantly across regions.

For many candidates, the biggest challenge during NEET PG counselling is the lack of uniformity in timelines. In earlier cycles — most notably in 2024 — delays were caused by last-minute revisions in seat matrices by the National Medical Commission (NMC).

Such changes often pushed states to postpone their schedules, even as some had already released merit lists or opened applications. As aspirants prepare for NEET PG 2025 counselling, a similar pattern of staggered updates is expected. Some states have released their merit list, others are opening registration windows in phases, while a few may wait for final instructions from the MCC before declaring their complete timelines.

Given this variability, candidates are advised to monitor both the MCC portal and their respective state counselling websites daily. State-wise counselling involves multiple steps — registration, choice filling, document verification, provisional allotment, and reporting — which means that even a single missed notification can disrupt a candidate’s admission prospects.

Experts also emphasise the importance of keeping all documents — particularly internship completion certificates, NEET PG scorecards, category certificates, and provisional registration — ready well in advance.

According to the MCC 2025 counselling dates, the NEET PG 2025 schedule had placed the first round of state counselling from October 17 to November 8, 2025, with the final date for joining set as November 15.

Subsequent rounds followed similarly fixed timelines, reinforcing the system’s emphasis on time-bound coordination. For NEET PG 2025, a comparable level of procedural discipline and inter-agency coordination is anticipated across states. These measures are expected to help streamline countrywide admissions and ensure that the entire counselling cycle concludes within the academic calendar, providing clarity and stability for postgraduate medical aspirants.

MCC had issued strict directives to ensure smooth and timely counselling for NEET PG 2025. All participating colleges and institutions were told to adhere to the official schedule without exception. Importantly, they were instructed to treat Saturdays, Sundays, and Gazetted Holidays as working days throughout the counselling period to prevent delays. Another key requirement was the mandatory exchange of candidate-joining data between state counselling bodies and the MCC after each round, ensuring transparency and accuracy in seat processing.
