SC (Scheduled Caste), ST (Scheduled Tribe), OBC (Other Backward Class), and PwD (Persons with Disabilities) candidates must pay Rs 500 .
All candidates proceeding to Round 2, including those previously registered in Round 1, must submit a new set of choices for their preferred colleges and courses. Candidates who opted to resign from their Round 1 seat or did not report to their allotted college are not required to complete a fresh registration for Round 2.

Key Guidelines for Round 2 All India Quota
The Medical Counselling Committee has issued the following essential guidelines for candidates participating in the All India Quota (AIQ) seats in NEET PG 2025 Round 2:
- If a candidate is allotted a new seat or receives an upgrade in Round 2, they must resign from their previously allotted Round 1 seat. They must then join the college assigned in the latest Round 2 allotment.
- Candidates who register for the first time in Round 2 and do not secure any seat will retain eligibility. They can participate in the subsequent counselling rounds without needing to register again.
- Candidates whose seats are upgraded in Round 2 will forfeit their claim to the seat initially allotted in Round 1.
- Candidates who receive their first seat allotment in Round 2 have the option to seek further upgradation in later rounds. However, they are required to physically report and complete admission formalities at their current Round 2 allotted college.
