NEET UG 2025 Counselling: Round 1 Resignation Window Closes, Round 2 Registration to Begin August 29

In a significant update for thousands of medical and dental aspirants, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially closed the seat resignation window for NEET UG 2025 Round 1 counselling today, at 5:00 PM. This deadline marks the final opportunity for candidates to withdraw from their allotted seats without forfeiting the security deposit paid during the registration process. With the conclusion of Round 1 formalities, the counselling cycle now shifts its focus to the eagerly anticipated second round, with registrations scheduled to commence in just a few days.

This resignation window was a critical decision-making period for aspirants who had secured a seat but were not fully satisfied with their allotment. By resigning within the specified timeframe, these candidates can maintain their eligibility for Round 2 and beyond, giving them a chance to secure a better-ranked college or a more preferred course. The MCC has emphasized that all resignations must be processed through the official online portal, and any offline attempts to surrender a seat will not be accepted.

Round 2: A New Opportunity for Aspirants

According to a recent notification from the MCC, the registration process for NEET UG 2025 Round 2 counselling will tentatively begin on August 29, 2025. This upcoming round is a game-changer for several groups of candidates:

• New Aspirants: Those who missed the registration window for Round 1 can now register and pay the required fees to enter the counselling process.
• Unallotted Candidates: Aspirants who registered for Round 1 but did not get a seat can fill their fresh choices for Round 2.
• Upgradation Candidates: Individuals who joined their Round 1 college but wish to upgrade to a better option can participate in the choice-filling for Round 2. If a new seat is allotted, their previous seat will be automatically surrendered.

The vacant seats from Round 1, including those from which candidates resigned, will be added to the seat matrix for Round 2. This will increase the total number of available seats, potentially lowering the cutoff ranks and offering new possibilities for aspirants. The MCC is expected to publish the complete, detailed schedule for Round 2, including dates for choice locking, seat allotment, and reporting, on its official website in the coming days. Candidates must stay prepared with all their original documents and follow the official guidelines closely to ensure a smooth admission process.
