NEET UG 2025 Counselling: MCC to Close Round 1 College Reporting on August 22
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has set August 22, 2025, as the final deadline for reporting to colleges for NEET UG 2025 Round 1 admissions. This article provides a comprehensive guide for medical aspirants on the crucial next steps to confirm their seats and what to expect in the upcoming Round 2.
With the first round of NEET UG 2025 counselling drawing to a close, a critical deadline approaches for thousands of medical aspirants. The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced that the last day for reporting to allotted colleges for Round 1 of the All India Quota (AIQ) is August 22, 2025. This date marks a final opportunity for students to complete their admission formalities and secure their seats in MBBS and BDS courses across the country.
The extension of the reporting deadline provides a much-needed relief to students, giving them more time to complete the necessary documentation and financial transactions. This extension was a result of candidates requesting additional time to navigate logistical challenges. For all the latest updates on medical admissions and counselling, follow Only Education News.
What Allotted Candidates Must Do Now
The time between the seat allotment and the reporting deadline is crucial. Here is a step-by-step checklist to ensure a smooth admission process:
- Download the Allotment Letter: Candidates who have been allotted a seat must download their provisional allotment letter from the official MCC website, mcc.nic.in. This document is a mandatory requirement for admission.
- Gather Required Documents: Prepare both original documents and several photocopies. This is a vital step for the physical verification process at the college. The required documents typically include:
- NEET UG 2025 Admit Card and Scorecard
- Provisional Allotment Letter from MCC
- Class 10th and 12th Mark Sheets and Certificates
- Valid photo identification (Aadhaar, PAN, etc.)
- Passport-sized photographs
- Caste/Category certificates (if applicable)
- Disability Certificate (if applicable)
- Domicile Certificate (for state quota admissions)
- Report to the Allotted College: Candidates must report to their assigned college in person on or before the deadline. At the college, they will undergo physical document verification and pay the required admission fees. It is advisable to check the specific fee structure and payment methods of the college beforehand.
- Complete Admission Formalities: Once the verification is successful and fees are paid, the college will confirm the admission. Candidates should ensure they get a receipt or confirmation of their admission to avoid any future issues.
Failing to report to the college by the specified deadline will lead to the cancellation of the allotted seat, and the candidate may not be able to participate in subsequent rounds for the same seat.
What Happens After the Deadline?
The conclusion of Round 1 marks the beginning of the next phase of counselling. The seats that remain vacant due to non-reporting candidates, along with seats surrendered by those who opt for a free exit, will be added to the seat matrix for Round 2.
The schedule for Round 2 registration and choice filling is expected to be released by the MCC shortly after the Round 1 reporting window closes. This round will provide a fresh opportunity for new candidates and those who did not secure a seat in the first round. Additionally, it allows candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 but wish to upgrade to a better college or course to do so.
Candidates must remember to check the official websites of both the MCC and their respective state counselling authorities regularly for the latest updates. Staying informed and being prepared with all necessary documents and fees is the key to successfully securing a seat in a medical or dental college.
