CENTAC Extends NEET UG 2025 Round 2 Deadline; Crucial Opportunity for Medical Aspirants

The Centralised Admission Committee (CENTAC), Puducherry, has announced a significant update for medical aspirants, further extending the deadline for the NEET UG 2025 Round 2 counselling process. This decision provides a crucial window of opportunity for students who are still in the process of finalizing their choices for admission into MBBS, BDS, and other allied medical courses. The extension is a direct result of the revised counselling schedule released by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) at https://www.centacpuducherry.in/, ensuring that the state-level process remains aligned with the national timeline.

The revised deadline is a welcome relief for thousands of aspirants who are seeking seats under the Puducherry quota. This extension affects not only fresh registrations for the second round but also candidates who wish to withdraw from their Round 1 allotted seats without the penalty of forfeiting their security deposit. It is a critical period for students to re-evaluate their options and submit their preferences thoughtfully, as this could be their last chance to secure a seat in a college of their choice. Aspirants are strongly urged to act swiftly and use this extended time wisely to avoid any last-minute hurdles.

For those who have been eagerly following the process, here's a detailed breakdown of what this extension means and the key actions you need to take:

• New Deadline: The final date for the submission of willingness and course preferences for UG NEET Round 2 through CENTAC is extended until September 18, 2025, at 5:00 PM. This is a hard deadline, and no further extensions are expected.
• Fresh Registrations: If you missed the registration for Round 1 or are a new candidate eligible for Round 2, you must complete your online application and submit your course preferences by the new deadline.
• Round 1 Seat Withdrawal: Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 and have joined but now wish to withdraw can do so without losing their security deposit. You must submit your resignation request letter through the candidate's login dashboard before the deadline.
• Choice Filling and Locking: Aspirants are advised to carefully research their preferred colleges and courses. The CENTAC website provides details on seat matrix and fee structures, which are essential for making an informed decision. Remember to lock your choices before the deadline to ensure they are considered in the allotment process.
• Document Readiness: As soon as the final seat allotment list is out, you will be required to physically report to your allotted college. Ensure all necessary documents, including your NEET admit card, score card, and academic certificates, are ready for verification to ensure a smooth admission process.

The CENTAC counselling process is fully online and manages various quotas, including Government, Management, and NRI seats. This centralized approach simplifies the admission process for students within the Union Territory of Puducherry and for those from other states seeking admission under the management quota. This extension underscores the commitment to providing a fair and transparent admission process for all eligible aspirants.
