NEET PG 2025 Counselling: Reset Registration Window Open — Ensure Your Application Details Are Correct Before November 5, 10 AM

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has provided a crucial 'Reset Registration' option for NEET PG 2025 Round 1. This is the final opportunity to correct any errors in personal details, category, or qualifying information made during the initial application. The window for both new registrations and the reset option will strictly close at 10:00 AM on November 5, 2025. Aspirants must utilize this feature to ensure their eligibility for the highly competitive All India Quota (AIQ) and central university seats. Immediate action is advised to secure participation in the subsequent Choice Filling and Locking process, which will determine seat allotment.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), the authority responsible for conducting counselling for NEET PG 2025 seats, has issued a critical advisory for all postgraduate medical aspirants. The 'Reset Registration' option for Round 1 Counselling has been activated on the official website, mcc.nic.in. This feature is a crucial lifeline for candidates who may have made inadvertent mistakes or required corrections in their initial application, such as updating reservation category status or correcting personal data.

​As of today, November 3, 2025, the counselling process is in a high-stakes phase. The reset registration option, which essentially allows a candidate to wipe their previous registration data and start afresh, is the last measure to ensure application accuracy before the process moves to seat allocation. All candidates, whether utilizing the reset option or completing a fresh registration, must finalize their submission by the strict deadline of 10:00 AM on November 5, 2025. Any error not corrected by this time could lead to complications, or even the cancellation of an allotted seat, during the final document verification phase. This brief window is the final check before the system processes applications for the highly anticipated seat allotment results.

​Critical Deadlines and Actionable Steps

​Aspirants must strictly adhere to the updated schedule to ensure smooth progression into the choice filling and seat allotment stages. Missing the November 5 deadline will mean forfeiture of the chance to participate in Round 1.

• ​Final Registration/Reset Window Closure:
  • ​Deadline: 10:00 AM, November 5, 2025.
  • ​Action: Candidates who have not yet registered or who need to use the 'Reset Registration' option must complete their application and fee payment before this exact time. The portal will automatically close access to this function thereafter.
• ​Choice Filling and Locking Period:
  • ​Current Window: Open from October 28 to November 5, 2025.
  • ​Choice Locking: The facility to lock choices will be activated and must be completed by 5:00 PM on November 5, 2025 (typically an hour before the choice filling window closes).
  • ​Action: Meticulously fill and verify your preferences for MD, MS, and DNB courses across various colleges, as the allotment is based on your locked choices and NEET PG 2025 rank.
• ​Round 1 Seat Allotment Result and Reporting:
  • ​Result Date: November 8, 2025.
  • ​Reporting Period: November 9 to November 15, 2025.
  • ​Action: Once the result is declared, candidates must immediately download the allotment letter and physically report to the allotted college within this time frame to complete admission formalities.

​ The Significance of the 'Reset Registration' Option

​The provision for 'Reset Registration' is a crucial administrative safety net provided by the MCC, distinguishing it from a simple edit option. It carries specific advantages and implications for the candidates.

• ​Error Correction and Data Integrity:
  • ​The primary purpose is to allow candidates to rectify critical data errors that may invalidate their application during verification. This includes, but is not limited to, errors in the Category Status (e.g., General to OBC/SC/ST, if eligible), PwD Status, Domicile/State Eligibility, or other core qualifying details.
  • ​A reset ensures that the data submitted for the highly competitive All India Quota (AIQ) seats is absolutely accurate, minimizing disputes during admission.
• ​Eligibility and Category Update:
  • ​The reset option is particularly vital for aspirants who initially registered as General but have now successfully obtained the required EWS/OBC-NCL certificate or other mandatory documents that change their eligibility status.
  • ​NRI Candidates: A separate, stringent process was outlined for candidates converting their status to Non-Resident Indian (NRI) Quota. The reset may be required to formally reflect the category change after submitting the necessary documents to the MCC via email by the stipulated deadline (which was October 28, 2025, for document submission).
• ​Starting Afresh: 
  • ​Using the reset option is essentially a complete cancellation of the previous registration, requiring the candidate to re-enter all details and potentially re-pay the registration fee (though security deposit rules vary). It is not a casual tool and should only be used if significant, fundamental errors are present in the original registration form.

​ Strategy for Choice Filling & Next Rounds

​With the registration window closing, the focus shifts entirely to the Choice Filling and Locking process, which is currently live. Strategic planning at this stage is the deciding factor for securing a preferred specialization and institute.

• ​Optimal Choice Filling Strategy:
  • ​Prioritize Desire, Not Probability: List your most desired course and college combinations (e.g., MD Radiology at AIIMS Delhi) at the top, regardless of your rank. The system will process choices in the order you provide.
  • ​Maximum Inclusion: Fill as many choices as possible where you meet the cutoff eligibility from previous years. A wider pool significantly increases the chance of securing a seat in Round 1.
  • ​Balance Safety and Aspiration: Create a balance by listing aspirational choices first, followed by realistic options, and finally, 'safety' choices where the closing rank is comfortably below your rank.
• ​Understanding Round 2 and Beyond:
  • ​Candidates who are not allotted a seat in Round 1, or those who opt for 'Free Exit' from a Round 1 allotted seat (without forfeiture of the security deposit), will be eligible to participate in Round 2 of counselling.
  • ​Round 2 allows for fresh registration for candidates who missed Round 1, and fresh choice filling for all eligible candidates.
  • ​The counselling process will continue through the Mop-Up Round and the final Stray Vacancy Round to fill all vacant seats. Aspirants must be keenly aware of the rules governing forfeiture and ineligibility in each subsequent round.

​Conclusion

​The activation and impending closure of the NEET PG 2025 Round 1 'Reset Registration' is a high-priority notification for every aspirant. With the deadline set for 10:00 AM on November 5, 2025, time is running out to correct vital application errors and secure your eligibility. Ensure your registration is flawless, lock your course and college choices strategically, and prepare diligently for the Round 1 Seat Allotment Result on November 8, 2025. Your accurate application is the first crucial step toward your postgraduate medical dream.
