The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially unveiled the NEET PG 2025 counselling schedule, paving the way for admissions into postgraduate medical programs. This includes seats under both the 50% All India Quota (AIQ) and various state quotas. According to the latest official notification, the registration window for Round 1 will remain open until November 5, 2025. The process of choice-filling for MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses is already underway, giving candidates time to make their selections. Applicants can look forward to the Round 1 seat allotment results, which are anticipated on November 8, 2025. The full counselling journey, encompassing all four rounds, is slated to conclude by January 2026. This announcement comes after a period of delays caused by pending seat approvals and a Supreme Court hearing on petitions concerning transparency in the admission process.
