The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released the seat matrix for NEET UG 2025 Round 2 counselling, revealing over 21,000 available seats, including 1,134 newly added seats, providing a fresh opportunity for aspirants.

In a crucial development for medical aspirants, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially released the seat matrix for the NEET UG 2025 Round 2 counselling. This announcement comes as a welcome relief to candidates who are still vying for a seat in MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing courses across the country. The seat matrix, now available on the MCC's official website, provides a comprehensive overview of the available seats for the upcoming round of admissions.

Understanding the Seat Matrix

The Round 2 seat matrix reveals a total of 21,723 seats available for allotment, categorized into three types:

Newly Added Seats: A total of 1,134 new seats have been added to the counselling process. These are fresh seats that were not available in Round 1 and have been approved by the National Medical Commission (NMC) since then.
Clear Vacancy Seats: There are 13,501 clear vacancy seats. These are seats that remained unoccupied after the conclusion of Round 1, either because no candidates were allotted to them or the allotted candidates did not join.
Virtual Vacancy Seats: A total of 7,088 seats are categorized as virtual vacancies. These seats become available if a candidate from Round 1 chooses to upgrade their seat in Round 2. If a candidate's preferred college is a better choice than the one they were allotted in Round 1, their previous seat becomes a 'virtual vacancy' and is then filled by another candidate in the current round.

Aspirants must understand that these newly added seats offer a fresh opportunity to secure a spot in a top medical college. It is essential to carefully review the updated seat matrix and make informed choices during the option-filling process.
