The critical choice-filling and locking window for NEET PG 2025 Counselling Round-1 concluded yesterday, November 18, 2025, as scheduled by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC). Thousands of medical aspirants have finalized their preferences for MD, MS, and PG Diploma seats across AIQ, Central, and Deemed Universities. Attention now shifts to the official MCC website for the imminent release of the Round-1 Seat Allotment Result. Candidates are advised to keep their documents ready for the subsequent reporting phase. This news provides a definitive timeline and crucial next steps for all registered aspirants.

The first major milestone of the NEET PG 2025 counselling process has been successfully crossed. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) officially closed the choice-filling and locking facility for Round-1 yesterday, November 18, 2025. This pivotal stage saw thousands of registered and verified medical aspirants meticulously selecting and ranking their preferred MD, MS, and PG Diploma courses and institutions. The closure of this window signals the end of the candidate-driven action phase for Round-1, transitioning control to the MCC for the algorithmic allocation of seats.

​The atmosphere among aspirants is now one of palpable anticipation. The coming days will determine the future specialty and college for many. Based on the established MCC counselling schedule, candidates are now advised to monitor the official website closely for the imminent release of the NEET PG 2025 Round-1 Seat Allotment Result. This result will be based on the candidate's All India Rank (AIR), the choices they locked, the reservation policy, and the availability of seats in the participating institutions (All India Quota seats, Central Universities, and Deemed Universities). Preparation for the subsequent physical reporting process must begin immediately, as the window for joining will be short and strict.

​The Seat Allotment Process: What Happens Next

​Following the closure of the choice-filling window, the MCC, with the technical support of the National Informatics Centre (NIC), initiates the complex process of seat allocation. This process, often referred to as "processing of allotment," usually takes a few days before the final list is published.

• ​Internal Data Processing:
  • ​The MCC algorithm meticulously matches the locked choices of all eligible candidates with the official seat matrix provided by the respective institutions.
  • ​The software considers the All India Rank (AIR) as the primary determinant, followed by the candidate's order of preference and applicable reservation categories (SC, ST, OBC-NCL, EWS, PwD).
• ​Definitive Timeline: 
  • ​Seat Allotment Processing: Expected to run from November 19, 2025, to November 20, 2025 (typically two days).
  • ​Round-1 Result Release: The official NEET PG 2025 Round-1 Seat Allotment Result is highly anticipated to be published on the MCC website on November 21, 2025, or shortly thereafter.
• ​Notification Mode: 
  • ​The result will be released in the form of a Provisional List first, followed by a Final Allotment List, which will contain the AIR, the allotted institute, and the course. Candidates must download their official Allotment Letter from the MCC portal using their login credentials.

​ Crucial Next Steps After Result Publication

​Securing a seat in Round-1 is only the first part of the admission process. Once the result is out, successful candidates must act swiftly and decisively within the stipulated reporting period. Aspirants must be prepared for the crucial decision-making phase: Acceptance or Exit.

• ​Decision Making - Free Exit vs. Option Upgradation: 
  • ​Accept and Join: Candidates satisfied with their allotment must download their letter and physically report to the allotted college for document verification and fee payment. They have the option to apply for Upgradation to a higher preferred choice in Round-2.
  • ​Accept and NO Upgradation: Candidates may choose to accept and lock their allotted seat, signifying they do not wish to be considered for any better seat in subsequent rounds.
  • ​Exit (Free Exit): Candidates who are not allotted a seat, or those who are allotted a seat but choose not to report/join, will be eligible to participate in Round-2 with fresh registration and choice filling (subject to MCC rules). Note: Round-1 is the only round with the "Free Exit" option.
• ​Physical Reporting Timeline:
  • ​The reporting window typically opens immediately after the result. Based on the usual schedule, the physical reporting is expected to be scheduled from November 22, 2025, to November 28, 2025 (approximately 7 days). Candidates must ensure all necessary documents are prepared.

​ Preparing for Document Verification and Reporting

​Delay in document verification or submission is the most common reason for admission cancellation. Candidates who are confident in securing a seat, or who are now awaiting the result, must ensure their paperwork is immaculate and ready for the physical reporting phase.

• ​Mandatory Documents Checklist:
  • ​MCC Allotment Letter (downloaded from the portal).
  • ​NEET PG 2025 Admit Card and Rank Letter.
  • ​MBBS/BDS Degree Certificate and all professional examination mark sheets.
  • ​Compulsory Rotating Internship Completion Certificate (by the cutoff date).
  • ​Permanent/Provisional Registration Certificate issued by NMC/SMC.
  • ​Date of Birth Proof (Matriculation Certificate).
  • ​Valid Photo ID Proof.
  • ​Caste/Category Certificates (OBC-NCL, SC, ST, EWS, PwD) issued by the competent authority in the prescribed format.
  • ​Security Deposit Payment Receipt.

​Conclusion

​The conclusion of the NEET PG 2025 Round-1 choice-filling marks the final stretch before aspirants discover their fate. With the MCC set to release the Round-1 Allotment Result around November 21, 2025, vigilance and preparedness are paramount. Aspirants must utilize the remaining hours to organize their documents and devise their strategy for the acceptance, upgradation, or exit options.
