The National Board of Examinations in Medical Sciences (NBEMS) has issued a directive for all NEET PG 2025 candidates. Candidates allotted seats through the NEET PG 2025 All India Quota (AIQ) counselling must complete their reporting and fee payment within Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) deadlines. Failure to adhere to these timelines will result in the forfeiture of their allotted medical seats.
NBEMS advises candidates to strictly follow the MCC counselling schedule, scheme, and official information bulletin. These resources are available on the official MCC website at mcc.nic.in . Adherence to these guidelines is mandatory for all stages of the admission process.
Reporting and Joining Status Confirmation
Candidates must ensure their allotted hospital updates their reporting and joining status on the Intra-MCC portal. This update must occur within the specific timeline set by the MCC. It is the candidate’s responsibility to confirm this update has been completed by the hospital.
NBEMS has clarified the consequences of an unconfirmed status. If a hospital fails to update the joining status on the portal, the allocated seat will be considered vacant. This vacant seat will then be carried forward and offered in the subsequent counselling round. Candidates risk losing their seat if this critical step is overlooked.
First-Year Annual Course Fee Payment
The advisory also details the process for paying the first-year annual course fee. Candidates are required to submit this fee through the designated NBEMS payment portal. This payment must be completed strictly within the joining window specified by the MCC for their respective round.
Hospitals will verify the fee receipt before allowing any candidate to officially report or join. Non-submission of the required fee will lead to immediate forfeiture of the allotted seat. The seat will then be deemed vacant and re-allocated in a future counselling round.
Physical Reporting and Document Verification
After successfully completing the fee payment, candidates must report to their allotted hospitals. This physical reporting must occur within the prescribed MCC schedule. Candidates must carry all original documents for verification during this stage.
The reporting process includes a mandatory medical examination conducted by the hospital’s Medical Board. Only candidates declared medically fit by this board will receive permission to join their postgraduate program. NBEMS confirms that the official start of training will be counted from the date a candidate joins their allotted or upgraded seat.
NEET PG 2025 Counselling Schedule Revisions
The Medical Counselling Committee recently extended the choice-filling process for NEET PG 2025 Round 1 counselling. This extension remains in effect until further notice. This decision followed significant changes in postgraduate seat availability.
The National Medical Commission (NMC) informed MCC about alterations to postgraduate seats. Simultaneously, the National Board of Examinations (NBE) withdrew 169 DNB seats from the counselling matrix. These updates necessitated a revision of the counselling schedule.
MCC is actively revising the NEET PG 2025 seat matrix. This process involves removing excess seats and reapplying the reservation roster according to current counselling guidelines. The revised schedule and the updated seat matrix will be officially published on the MCC website at mcc.nic.in once finalized.
Instructions for In-Service Doctors
The advisory also provides specific instructions for candidates currently employed as in-service doctors. This applies to those working with government or public sector organizations. Such candidates must produce essential documentation at the time of joining.
Required documents include a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) from their parent department. Additionally, candidates must submit proof of study leave approval from their current employer. These documents are mandatory for their admission and joining process.
Upcoming Online Portal for Joining and Registration (OPJR)
NBEMS plans to activate an Online Portal for Joining and Registration (OPJR) in the near future. This portal will become operational after the completion of all rounds of NEET PG 2025 counselling. The OPJR aims to streamline post-allotment procedures.
The OPJR will allow both hospitals and candidates to upload crucial joining details and supporting documents. NBEMS will issue a separate, detailed notice outlining the process and timelines for utilizing this new portal. Candidates should monitor the official NBEMS website for this forthcoming announcement.
