Understanding the NEET UG Counselling Process
NEET UG counselling is a centralized procedure managed by the MCC to allocate medical and dental seats across various institutions in India. The process ensures a transparent and merit-based distribution of seats to eligible candidates based on their NEET scores and preferences.
The counselling is divided into multiple rounds, with Round 1 being the initial phase where candidates submit their choices of colleges and courses. After the choice filling and locking phase, the MCC processes the seat allotment based on merit, reservation policies, and availability of seats.

What Candidates Should Do After Seat Allotment
Once the seat allotment is declared, candidates who have been allotted a seat must adhere to the reporting schedule between August 20 and 25. Reporting involves physically visiting the allotted college, completing admission formalities, and submitting the required documents.
Failing to report within the stipulated time may result in forfeiture of the allotted seat. Candidates who are not satisfied with their allotment can wait for subsequent rounds of counselling or participate in mop-up rounds, depending on the MCC’s schedule.
