NEET PG 2025 Round 2 Admission Process Fully Concludes Nationwide

The NEET PG 2025 Round 2 admission process officially concludes today, December 29, 2025, following the MCC’s deadline extension. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the final reporting requirements, mandatory documentation for aspirants, and the upcoming Round 3 schedule. Stay updated on seat vacancy trends and transition rules for the next phase of counseling. Ensure you complete all formalities to secure your postgraduate medical seat.

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially brought the NEET PG 2025 Round 2 admission process to a close today, December 29, 2025. This follows a critical deadline extension that allowed candidates until 4:00 PM to complete reporting and resignation formalities at their allotted medical colleges. This round serves as a pivotal bridge between the initial allotments and the final competitive phases of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test for Postgraduate courses.

As the window for Round 2 physical joining shuts, the focus now shifts toward the seat matrix reconciliation and the commencement of Round 3. Aspirants who have secured their positions must ensure their admission status is updated on the MCC portal by their respective institutes to avoid any technical discrepancies.

Mandatory Reporting and Resignation Protocols

Candidates who were allotted seats in the second round had to navigate a strict set of administrative requirements. The extension provided by the MCC was a strategic move to accommodate those facing logistical delays in document verification.

• Final Reporting: All candidates must have completed their physical reporting by the 4:00 PM deadline today to retain their allotted seats.
• Resignation Window: This date also marked the final opportunity for candidates to resign from their Round 2 seats without forfeiture of the security deposit, provided they follow the prescribed norms.

Status Update: Participating medical institutes are now required to verify and upload the data of joined candidates onto the MCC portal to facilitate a clear vacancy list for Round 3.

Comparison of Post-Round 2 Counseling Milestones

To help aspirants visualize the transition, the following table highlights the key differences between the concluding Round 2 and the upcoming Round 3 (formerly known as the Mop-Up Round).

Transitioning to Round 3: What Aspirants Need to Know

With Round 2 now in the rearview mirror, the "Round 3" of counseling is the next major milestone. This stage is often considered the "golden opportunity" for those who missed out on their preferred branches or institutes during the earlier phases.

• Fresh Registrations: Candidates who did not register in earlier rounds or those who exited with forfeiture of fees can participate by registering anew.
• Choice Filling Strategy: Aspirants should prepare to fill a wide range of choices, as many "virtual vacancies" and newly added seats typically appear in the Round 3 matrix.
• Eligibility Check: Only those who have not joined a seat in Round 2 (or have resigned within the deadline) are eligible to participate in the subsequent All India Quota rounds.

Conclusion and Final Compliance

The conclusion of Round 2 marks a decisive moment in the NEET PG 2025 journey. While many have secured their career paths, thousands of others are now eyeing the remaining vacancies. It is imperative to remember that any seat secured in Round 3 is typically final, with limited to no options for further resignation or movement. Aspirants should use this interim period to audit their documents and refine their college preferences based on the latest vacancy reports. Candidates must now move to the official MCC website to track the revised Round 3 schedule and verify their current admission status.
