Registration for Round 2 of NEET PG 2026 counselling closes at 3 pm on November 14, and choice filling is already open. Candidates who have not registered yet can still sign up on the official MCC portal, but the window shuts in three days.

The dates come from a revised schedule the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) issued on November 7. Round 2 was first meant to begin on November 6. MCC pushed it by a day after the National Medical Commission (NMC) added newly approved postgraduate medical seats to the seat matrix, which changed the registration and result dates.

The round covers the 50% All India Quota seats and all seats in deemed universities, central universities and Armed Forces Medical Services (AFMS) institutions. Candidates who did not get a seat in Round 1 can register for Round 2.

The full Round 2 schedule

Registration runs from 1 pm on November 7 to 3 pm on November 14. The fee payment facility stays open till 6 pm on November 14. Choice filling runs from 1 pm on November 10 to 11:55 pm on November 15, and choice locking opens at 4 pm on November 14. MCC will publish a provisional allotment result on November 16, followed by the final result on November 17. Candidates who get a seat must report to their allotted college between November 18 and 24.

How to register

Candidates can register on the official MCC counselling portal. After registration and fee payment, they can fill in their choices of colleges and courses in order of preference. Candidates should check the portal regularly, since MCC can revise the schedule.

What to keep in mind before locking choices

The seat matrix for Round 2 includes the new seats NMC approved, so candidates who skipped Round 1 or did not get a preferred seat get a fresh look at the options. Choice locking opens only at 4 pm on November 14, so candidates should lock their choices before the window closes at 11:55 pm on November 15.

Candidates who took a seat in Round 1 had till 6 pm on November 9 to give it up without losing their security deposit. That window has now closed.

Candidates who are allotted a seat in Round 2 must report to the college between November 18 and 24 with their original documents for verification. Our admission documents checklist covers the papers counselling portals commonly ask for, which helps avoid a last-minute problem at the reporting counter.
