The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has announced the removal of one MBBS seat from AIIMS New Delhi from the NEET UG 2025 counselling seat matrix. The decision was made in compliance with a Supreme Court order. This article provides a breakdown of the reason for the removal and its implications for aspirants.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), responsible for conducting NEET UG 2025 counselling, has made a significant adjustment to its seat matrix for Round 1. In a recent notice, the MCC announced the removal of one MBBS seat from the prestigious All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. This seat, which was designated for the Scheduled Caste (SC) Persons with Disabilities (PwD) category, has been taken off the list. The decision was not made arbitrarily but was in "due compliance of the directions as passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India." This move highlights the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable nature of the medical admissions process.

Impact of the Seat Removal on Aspiring Students

The removal of even a single seat from a highly sought-after institution like AIIMS New Delhi can have a ripple effect on the NEET UG counselling process. While the total number of seats at AIIMS New Delhi remains a substantial 125, the removal of this one seat affects the highly competitive SC PwD category.

High Competition: A seat at AIIMS is a top priority for thousands of medical aspirants across the country. The cutoffs for a seat in this institute are extremely high, and every single seat holds immense value.
Impact on Ranks: This change means that a candidate who might have been the last person to secure a seat in this category will now be ineligible, forcing them to look at other options in subsequent rounds of counselling.
Legal and Administrative Changes: This decision underscores that the counselling process is subject to legal directives and administrative changes, which aspiring students and their families must be prepared for. It is a reminder that staying informed through official sources is crucial throughout the admission journey.
