NEET PG 2025 Round 2 reporting concluded on December 24, 2025, moving the admission cycle into the data consolidation phase. Colleges are now finalizing joined candidate lists to determine vacancies for Round 3.

Stay informed on seat matrix updates and the latest MCC guidelines to secure your postgraduate medical seat.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has successfully concluded the reporting phase for NEET PG 2025 Round 2 on December 24, 2025. Following the seat allotment results, thousands of medical aspirants have completed their physical reporting at designated institutes. As the deadline passes, participating medical colleges have transitioned into the data consolidation phase. This involves updating the "Joined" status of candidates on the intra-MCC portal and identifying vacant seats arising from non-reporting or resignations. These vacant slots will form the core of the seat matrix for the subsequent Round 3.

Data Consolidation and the Path to Round 3

The period between December 25 and December 26 is critical for administrative verification. Colleges must ensure all admission formalities, including fee payments and document authentication, are accurately recorded.

• Institutes are verifying the internal data of candidates who successfully joined by the cutoff.
• MCC will utilize this consolidated data to release the tentative seat matrix for Round 3.
• Aspirants who opted for upgradation during Round 2 reporting will now look forward to the fresh choice-filling window.
• The resignation facility for those wishing to vacate Round 2 seats remains active until December 26, albeit with security deposit forfeiture.

Essential Documentation for Successful Admission

Aspirants transitioning into Round 3 or confirming Round 2 seats must ensure their documentation is impeccable. Physical verification at the college level is the final barrier to securing an MD/MS or DNB seat.

• Allotment Letter: A fresh copy of the provisional allotment letter downloaded from the official MCC website.
• Rank Credentials: NEET PG 2025 admit card and the official scorecard issued by NBEMS.
• Academic Certificates: MBBS degree, mark sheets for all professional years, and the internship completion certificate.
• Identity & Category: Valid Aadhaar/Passport and original category certificates (OBC/SC/ST/EWS/PwD) as per the prescribed format.

Conclusion and Strategic Next Steps

As the academic session has already commenced on December 22, the pace of the admission process has intensified. The transition from Round 2 to Round 3 is the last major opportunity for many to secure a preference-based seat before the Stray Vacancy round. Aspirants must exercise caution during the upcoming choice-filling window, prioritizing "Clear Vacancies" and "Virtual Vacancies" reported in the new matrix. To ensure eligibility remains intact, candidates are advised to monitor the official MCC portal frequently for the release of the Round 3 seat matrix and registration links.
