As the NEET UG 2025 counselling process gears up, medical aspirants are navigating a crucial phase in their quest for an MBBS or BDS seat in top medical colleges across India. While the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is set to commence counselling for the 15% All India Quota (AIQ), Central Universities, AIIMS, and Deemed Universities from July 21, 2025, it is imperative for medical aspirants to remember that the lion's share—85% of MBBS/BDS seats in state government medical colleges—will be filled through state-wise counselling conducted by their respective state medical counselling authorities. Understanding the nuances of both central and state counselling processes is key to securing a coveted medical seat and embarking on a promising medical career.
Understanding the Dual Counselling System for NEET UG 2025
The NEET UG 2025 counselling process operates on a dual system to allocate MBBS and BDS seats. This ensures a balanced approach, accommodating both national-level merit and state-specific domicile requirements for medical aspirants.
All India Quota (AIQ) Counselling by MCC: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), mcc.nic.in, is responsible for counselling 15% of the MBBS/BDS seats in all government medical colleges (excluding J&K for now, unless changed) and 100% of seats in Central Universities (like BHU, AMU, University of Delhi), AIIMS, JIPMER, and Deemed Universities. Registration for MCC NEET UG 2025 counselling Round 1 is scheduled to begin on July 21, 2025. Medical aspirants applying for these seats must register on the MCC website.
State Quota Counselling by State Authorities: The remaining 85% of MBBS/BDS seats in state government medical colleges, along with seats in private medical/dental colleges within each state, fall under the state quota. The counselling process for these seats is conducted independently by the respective state medical counselling authorities. This means medical aspirants from a particular state will need to apply directly to their state's designated authority.
Parallel Processes: It is crucial for medical aspirants to understand that state-wise counselling often runs in parallel with the MCC counselling. Candidates can register for both, but must carefully manage their preferences and seat acceptance based on the rules for surrender/upgradation in each counselling body.
Eligibility and Domicile: Eligibility for state quota seats typically requires the medical aspirant to have a domicile of that specific state. Detailed eligibility criteria and reservation policies vary from state to state and are published on their official websites.
Navigating these two parallel counselling processes is a critical step for medical aspirants to secure their medical seat.

Key Stages in State-Wise NEET UG Counselling
While the exact timelines and nuances may differ between states, the general counselling process for 85% state quota seats follows a similar pattern, requiring medical aspirants to be prepared for several crucial stages.
Online Registration and Fee Payment: Medical aspirants must first register on the respective state medical counselling website and pay the prescribed registration fees. This often involves providing personal details, NEET UG 2025 scores, and other relevant information.
Document Verification: Many states conduct a document verification phase, which can be online or offline at designated centres. Medical aspirants must present all original documents (NEET UG Admit Card & Scorecard, 10th & 12th mark sheets, domicile certificate, caste/category certificate, identity proof, etc.) for scrutiny.
Merit List Publication: After registration and document verification, states publish a state merit list based on NEET UG 2025 ranks of qualified candidates from their state. This list forms the basis for seat allotment.
Choice Filling and Locking: Medical aspirants then fill their preferences for medical colleges and MBBS/BDS courses in order of priority. This is a critical step, as seat allotment depends heavily on these choices. Once filled, choices are locked as per the state's rules.
Seat Allotment and Reporting: States conduct multiple rounds of seat allotment. Upon receiving an MBBS/BDS seat, qualified candidates must download their provisional allotment letter, pay the admission fees, and report to the allotted medical college within the stipulated deadline for final document verification and admission.
It's paramount for medical aspirants to stay abreast of their state's specific schedule and guidelines to ensure a smooth admission process. For detailed information on various medical exams and courses, Only Education News offers comprehensive resources.
