NEET PG 2025 counselling manages seat allocation for postgraduate (MD/MS/Diploma) courses. This process includes 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats. It also covers 100% of seats in Central Universities, Deemed Universities, and AFMS institutions. Candidates who cleared the NEET PG 2025 exam are eligible to participate. The schedule outlines three distinct rounds of online counselling.
