NEET PG 2025 counselling will begin tomorrow, October 17, 2025. This marks the start of the postgraduate medical admission process for thousands of medical graduates across India. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is responsible for conducting the counselling for Doctor of Medicine (MD), Master of Surgery (MS), and PG Diploma courses.
Counselling Schedule and Process
The counselling process requires eligible candidates to complete several steps. These include online registration, filling in their preferred course and college choices, and tracking seat allotments. The MCC will manage these procedures through its official website.
The NEET PG 2025 entrance examination took place on August 3, 2025. Results for the exam were released shortly after, on August 19, 2025. However, candidates have experienced significant delays in the counselling schedule since the results were declared.
Reasons for Delay
The postponement of the NEET PG 2025 counselling process stems from ongoing legal proceedings. These court cases question the transparency of the NEET PG 2025 examination itself. A key concern raised in these proceedings is the disclosure of answer keys and question papers by the National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS).
Supreme Court Intervention
The Supreme Court of India is hearing a petition related to these transparency issues. The petition challenges the NBEMS’s current disclosure methods, arguing they lack clarity and hinder the verification process for candidates. The Supreme Court hearing, initially scheduled for September 26, was postponed to October 28, 2025. This legal review has directly impacted the initiation of the counselling process.
Medical professionals and aspirants have followed the developments closely. Dr. Lakshay Mittal, a known voice in the medical community, confirmed the start date on X (formerly Twitter). He advised candidates to complete their registration and choice filling quickly to avoid missing any critical deadlines.
What Candidates Need to Do
Candidates must actively participate in the upcoming counselling rounds. This includes:
- Registering Online: Submit personal and academic details as required by the MCC.
- Filling Choices: Select preferred medical specialities (MD, MS, PG Diploma) and institutions. Candidates should prioritize their choices carefully.
- Monitoring Allotments: Regularly check the MCC website for seat allotment results in subsequent rounds.
