NEET PG 2025 Seat Allocation: Overview

Before diving into the steps, get the big picture:

• Seat allocation is online via the MCC portal for the 50% All India Quota (AIQ), Deemed/Central Universities, ESIC & AFMS; while state quotas are handled by respective authorities.
• Counseling involves four rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop Up, and Stray Vacancy, with each round updating seat matrices and vacancies.
• Key data: The seat matrix shows seats per specialty/college/category—consult it before filling choices to boost your selection odds.

Step-By-Step Seat Allocation Process (2025 Edition)

1. Registration & Document Upload

• Candidates register on the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in); new registrations open for each round.
• Provide a valid email ID and mobile number; keep login credentials safe.
• Upload documents (scorecard, MBBS degree, internship completion, category certificates, etc.)—accuracy is critical; missing paperwork means disqualification.
• Pay counselling fees online; fee varies by category and institution type (AIQ, Central/Deemed University).

2. Choice Filling & Seat Matrix Analysis

• After registration, fill and lock your college/specialty choices online. You can edit choices till the final lock date.
• Consult the seat matrix: See available seats by category, college, and specialty. Use trends and your rank to prioritize realistic preferences.
• Rhetorical: If your NEET rank matches last year’s cutoff for Radiology at a top college, should you take a risk or play safe with backup options?

Tips:

• Fill maximum choices to expand possibilities. Don’t just rely on first preferences—mop-up rounds offer surprise spots.
• Use last year’s seat matrix as a guide but check for changes; some quotas/categories may shift.

3. Seat Allotment Result & Download Allotment Letter

• The system matches choices, ranks, and seat availability—seat allotment is automated and unbiased.
• Provisional results are announced after each round as a downloadable PDF on the MCC portal.
• The allotment letter contains: candidate name, NEET PG rank, college/course allotted, category, and reporting schedule.

4. Reporting to Allotted College & Verification

• Report in person at the allotted college with all required documents; pay admission fee as per college mandates.
• Physical verification is essential—failure to report forfeits your allotted seat even if you were previously matched.
• Carry originals (admit card, MBBS degree, internship certificate, reservation proof, photo ID) and self-attested copies.

5. Upgradation/Willingness for Further Rounds

• After Round 1, you can opt for “upgradation” if aiming for a higher preference college/course in Round 2.
• If not satisfied with the allotment, continue with further rounds—each round updates the seat matrix for new vacancies.
• After final rounds, mop-up and stray rounds help fill leftover seats, offering last chances.

NEET PG 2025 Seat Matrix: What It Means for You

• The seat matrix is publicly released before each round on the MCC website; it displays total seats per college/specialty—including unreserved, reserved, EWS, PwD, and other categories.
• Analyze the matrix to gauge chances; some specialties may have more seats but higher competition, while rare specialties may offer easier access.
• Reservation policies: 27% OBC, 10% EWS, and specified SC/ST/PwD quotas are strictly applied.
