The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has started the registration process for NEET PG 2025 Round 1 counselling. Candidates can register online at the official MCC portal: mcc.nic.in. However, the detailed round-wise counselling schedule is yet to be released, pending a Supreme Court hearing scheduled for October 28, 2025.
This delay is due to a petition seeking greater transparency in the NEET PG examination process, particularly regarding the release of full question papers and answer keys.
Counselling Process and Fees
The NEET PG 2025 counselling process includes several key steps:
- Registration: Candidates must complete online registration on the MCC portal.
- Choice Filling and Locking: Candidates fill and lock their preferred choices of colleges and courses.

Supreme Court Hearing and Transparency Issues
The delay in the release of the counselling schedule is linked to a petition filed in the Supreme Court regarding transparency in NEET PG. The petition challenges the practice of releasing only question-ID-wise responses without providing the full question papers and answer keys. The next hearing is scheduled for October 28, 2025.
