New Delhi, August 23, 2025 – The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) revised the Round 2 counselling schedule for NEET UG 2025. The change came after the National Medical Commission (NMC) confirmed that it is still approving new MBBS seats for the upcoming academic session.
To include these new seats, MCC will tentatively begin Round 2 counselling on August 29, 2025. The committee stated that it will release a detailed revised schedule soon on its official website.
Why This Matters
The addition of new MBBS seats creates fresh opportunities for students who missed out in Round 1. More government and private colleges are likely to join this round, giving aspirants better options across India. Education experts note that this move shows the government’s effort to expand medical education and address the rising demand for doctors. These new seats will also help improve India’s doctor-patient ratio.
Advisory for Students
Check the MCC website (mcc.nic.in) regularly for updates.
Keep documents ready for faster admission processing.
Review college options carefully, as new seats may bring better opportunities.
MCC assured candidates that this short delay will not disturb the overall counselling calendar. Students should stay alert, follow official notices, and prepare for the revised Round 2 process.
