Medical graduates who came away empty-handed in the first round of NEET PG counselling get another window on Friday, November 6. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) opens Round 2 registration that day for postgraduate medical seats under the 50% All India Quota, along with seats in deemed universities, central universities and AFMS institutions. Round 1 ended with its final allotment on October 24, and reporting closed on November 2.
Round 2 dates
Registration and payment run from November 6 to November 11, closing at 12 noon and 3 pm respectively on November 11. Choice filling opens on November 7 and runs to 10 am on November 12, with choice locking available from 4 pm on November 11 to 10 am on November 12. MCC processes allotments on November 12 and 13 and publishes the result on November 14. Candidates who get a seat must report and join between November 16 and November 23.
All times follow MCC server time, and the schedule is marked tentative, so candidates should confirm it on the official MCC PG counselling portal before acting.
Who has to register again
Candidates who registered and paid in Round 1 and got no seat do not need to register again, and neither do those who resigned or did not report. Fresh registration is for candidates who did not register in Round 1 with full payment. Everyone fills choices afresh: Round 1 choices do not carry over.
Candidates still comparing colleges can work through our guide to choosing a university in India before locking choices. Reporting means turning up with original documents, and our admission documents checklist covers the papers candidates are usually asked for.
The deposit rule tightens in Round 2
Round 1 carried a free exit. From Round 2, the information bulletin says the security deposit is forfeited if a candidate is allotted a seat and does not join, or if admission is cancelled for wrong information or missing documents. The deposit is Rs 25,000 for unreserved and EWS candidates and Rs 10,000 for reserved candidates in the All India Quota, and Rs 2,00,000 for deemed universities, on top of the registration fee.
A Round 2 seat can still be resigned within MCC’s time limit to move to Round 3, but surrendering it also forfeits the deposit, and Round 3 seats cannot be resigned at all. List only colleges you would actually join, and check the fee and bond of each deemed university on its own website before locking choices.
Upgrading from a Round 1 seat
Candidates who joined a Round 1 seat and opted for upgradation keep it unless they are upgraded; their seat shows to others as a virtual vacancy in Round 2. If upgraded, they must take relieving online from the Round 1 seat and join the new one, losing any claim on the old seat.
What comes after Round 2
Round 3 registration follows from November 26 to December 1, with its result due on December 4. An online stray vacancy round follows the three regular rounds. Candidates should read the MCC notices on the portal before the window opens.
