The journey to a medical career is filled with anticipation, and for NEET UG 2025 aspirants, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) counselling process is a crucial step. However, Round 1 of MCC NEET UG Counselling 2025 has hit another delay, with choice filling and locking currently on hold. A revised schedule is expected soon on the official MCC website, keeping candidates on their toes. Here’s what you need to know to stay prepared.
The MCC oversees admissions to MBBS and BDS courses under the 15% All India Quota seats. Round 1 involves registering, selecting preferred colleges, locking choices, and awaiting seat allotment. Originally, the process faced extensions to accommodate Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) candidates struggling to obtain disability certificates.
The registration deadline was extended to August 3, 2025, with choice locking initially set for 6 PM to 11:59 PM that day. Now, as of August 4, 2025, at 9:15 PM IST, MCC has paused choice filling, promising a new schedule on mcc.nic.in.
This delay underscores MCC’s commitment to fairness, ensuring all candidates can participate. While it tests patience, it’s a chance to prepare. Regularly check mcc.nic.in for updates, as the revised timeline may come with tight deadlines. Ensure your documents—NEET scorecard, identity proof, and, for PwBD candidates, disability certificates—are ready. Be poised to act quickly once choice filling resumes to secure your preferences.
The last known schedule had seat processing for August 4-5 and results on August 6, but these dates will likely shift. Stay tuned to MCC’s website for clarity.
As you wait, keep your goal in sight. The road to medicine is challenging, but every step brings you closer. Check mcc.nic.in regularly, stay organized, and be ready to act when the new schedule drops. Your medical journey is just beginning—stay strong, future doctors!
