Achieving a medical degree requires diligence, a strong NEET UG score, and successful counseling. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) serves as the primary portal for students aspiring to enter MBBS, BDS, BAMS, BUMS, and BHMS programs in India’s top medical and dental institutions. With NEET UG 2025 approaching, a thorough understanding of the MCC Counselling 2025 process is essential.
This comprehensive guide provides all necessary information on MCC Round 2 Counselling 2025. We will address common queries, such as “What is the deadline for MCC choice filling round 2?” and “Can I register for the second NEET counseling round?” A detailed overview of the NEET UG Counselling 2025 schedule is also included.
Understanding the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) Before discussing dates, let’s clarify the MCC’s function. The MCC, under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), manages online counseling for admissions to various programs. This includes:
15% of All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government medical and dental colleges.
All seats in Deemed Universities.
All seats in Central Universities, including DU, AMU, and BHU.
ESIC and AFMC institutes, when they participate.
Institutes of National Importance like AIIMS and JIPMER, now consolidated under NEET.
All counseling activities are conducted online via the official MCC portal at mcc.nic.in.

Deep Dive: MCC Round 2 Counselling 2025 Round 2 is a significant part of the counseling process. It addresses seats that remain unfilled after Round 1. New candidates can register, including those who missed Round 1 or were unhappy with their previous allocation.
Can I Apply for 2nd Round NEET Counselling? A frequent question is: “Can I register for the second NEET counseling round?”
The answer is yes, with certain conditions. You may apply for MCC Round 2 if you meet these criteria:
New Candidates: Individuals who did not register for Round 1 can register again for Round 2.
Registered but Not Allotted in Round 1: Candidates who registered in Round 1 but did not receive a seat offer can automatically join Round 2. They must re-submit their choices.
Candidates Who Resigned/Exited: Those who were offered a seat in Round 1 but chose to withdraw (not report to the assigned college) are eligible for Round 2. Their security deposit will be lost, but participation is allowed.
Candidates Not Satisfied with Round 1 Allotment: Individuals who received a seat in Round 1 but wish to seek an upgrade can participate. They must submit new choices. If a new seat is offered in Round 2, reporting to the new college is mandatory.
Candidates who resigned from their Round 1 seat can reapply for Round 2. They forfeit their deposit but can still join. Candidates unhappy with their Round 1 seat can also apply. They must submit new preferences. If they secure a new seat, they must report there. Their Round 1 seat becomes vacant. Candidates who reported to their Round 1 college cannot join Round 2.
MCC registration for Round 2 typically lasts 4-5 days. Based on past years, expect Round 2 registration to end in the third week of August 2025. For instance, if registration opens on August 15, it might close on August 19. The payment option also closes then. Complete registration and payment before the deadline. No extensions are provided.
Choice filling for Round 2 usually follows registration. Candidates log in to mcc.nic.in. They rank their college choices by priority. This phase lasts about 2-3 days after registration ends. Using our example, if registration closes August 19, choice filling may run until August 21. The final deadline is August 21, 11:55 PM. It is best to lock your choices early. Server issues can occur. Save a copy of your locked choices.
The Round 2 process starts with registration at mcc.nic.in. New applicants enter NEET UG 2025 details. Next, pay the counseling fee and security deposit. Fees differ by category. Then, fill and lock your college choices. Research colleges on mcc.nic.in. Rank them from most to least preferred. You must click ‘Lock Choices’ to submit them. The Round 2 results appear on the MCC website. Check your allotment status there. If you receive a seat, download the letter. Report to the college with documents and fees within the timeframe. Not reporting cancels the seat and loses your deposit.
MCC now manages AYUSH courses for AIQ and Deemed Universities. This includes BAMS, BUMS, and BHMS. The AYUSH Admissions Central Counselling Committee previously handled this. MCC’s 2025 schedule now includes AYUSH. The process mirrors MBBS/BDS: registration, choice filling, and allotment. Select the correct AYUSH course during registration on mcc.nic.in.
While focusing on MCC Round 2, remember State counseling. Be aware of your State’s NEET UG 2025 dates.
Each state manages its own counseling. This covers 85% of state quota seats in government medical schools. It also includes seats in private colleges within that state.
State counseling operates separately from MCC counseling. You must register again on your state’s medical counseling website.
You can register for both MCC AIQ and state counseling. If you secure a seat via MCC, any state seat you received will be canceled. The reverse is also true.
Every state has a unique NEET counseling schedule. Check your state’s Directorate of Medical Education (DME) website often.
The official MCC website is essential. mcc.nic.in is your central hub.
You will log into mcc.nic.in with your NEET details. This is for registration, payment, choosing courses, and getting your allotment letter. Keep your login info safe.
Before choosing courses, MCC releases a seat list. This document shows participating colleges. It details courses like MBBS and BDS. It also lists available seats and category breakdowns. Reviewing this list helps you make wise choices.
