Understanding the NEET PG Counselling Framework:

The NEET PG counselling is broadly divided into two main categories:

MCC Counselling (All India Quota - AIQ and Central/Deemed Universities): The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Ministry of Health & Family Welfare, Government of India, conducts counselling for:

• 50% All India Quota (AIQ) seats in Government medical colleges (excluding Jammu & Kashmir).
• 100% seats in Deemed Universities.
• 100% seats in Central Universities (like AMU, BHU, DU, AFMC, and JIPMER).
• 100% seats in ESIC Colleges.

All India Open DNB (Diplomate of National Board) seats. This counselling involves four rounds: Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up Round, and Stray Vacancy Round.

State Quota Counselling: The remaining 50% of seats in Government medical colleges and 100% of seats in private medical colleges (excluding Deemed Universities) are filled through counselling conducted by the respective State Counselling Authorities. State counselling schedules often run parallel to or immediately after the MCC rounds.

Choice Filling and Locking: After registration, candidates can fill in their preferred colleges and courses in order of priority. Thorough research into institutions, specialties, and previous year's cutoffs is crucial.
