The Commissioner for Entrance Examinations (CEE), Kerala, has extended the deadline for online choice-filling for Round 1 of NEET PG 2025 counselling. Prospective candidates now have until November 24, 2025 , to submit their preferred medical course and college options.
This extension directly results from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) revising its national NEET PG counselling schedule for 2025. Such national adjustments require state-level counselling bodies, like CEE Kerala, to modify their timelines to align with the revised central schedule. CEE Kerala formally announced the new deadline through an official notice, referring to previous notifications issued on November 6, 2025 , and November 12, 2025 , confirming the continuity of the online option registration facility.
Accessing the Candidate Portal
To register their choices, candidates must access the dedicated portal on the official CEE Kerala website, www.cee.kerala.gov.in. The process begins by locating and clicking the ‘PG Medical 2025-Candidate Portal’ link. Upon clicking, users will be prompted to enter their unique application number and password. These credentials grant access to the candidate’s personal homepage.
Once inside their homepage, candidates must navigate to the ‘Option Registration’ menu. This section facilitates the online submission of preferences for various medical degree (MD) and master of surgery (MS) courses offered across different colleges and under specific quotas. The online platform is the exclusive method for submitting these choices; no other submission methods are accepted.
Key Information for Candidates
CEE Kerala released the revised rank list for eligible service candidates participating in NEET PG counselling 2025 on November 13, 2025 . This list is crucial for affected candidates to understand their position. Additionally, a detailed seat matrix is available on the official website. This matrix lists all available vacancies for MD and MS courses, allowing candidates to review and understand the competition and availability before finalizing their options. Examining the seat matrix is a critical step for informed choice-filling.
Mandatory Choice-Filling Rules
CEE has established clear guidelines for the choice-filling process. Candidates are strongly advised to select a Course–College-Quota combination only if they are entirely committed to joining that specific program, institution, and quota, should it be allotted to them. This rule emphasizes the binding nature of the submitted options.
Furthermore, CEE explicitly states that only options accurately registered through the online portal will be considered for the final seat allotment. Submissions sent through alternative channels such as post, fax, or email will not be processed, nor will they be taken into account during the allotment procedure. The online system is the sole official method for option registration.
All applicants are required to pay a non-refundable security deposit of Rs 10,000 while submitting their preferences. This deposit serves as a commitment fee and is a mandatory part of the option registration process. Candidates should ensure this payment is completed to validate their submitted choices.
