The reporting phase for the second round of NEET PG 2025 counselling has officially concluded. Following the extended deadline of December 26, 2025, medical aspirants across the nation have completed their physical reporting and document verification at their respective allotted colleges. This marks a major transition point in the admission cycle, as participating institutions now move into the administrative phase of synchronizing data with the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to determine the clear vacancies for the upcoming Round 3.

Institutional Data Submission and Vacancy Mapping

With the reporting window closed, participating medical colleges have commenced the finalization of their admission records. This internal process ensures that every seat is accounted for before the next stage of counselling begins.

• Data Reconciliation: Institutions are currently reconciling physical joining reports with the intra-MCC portal to ensure digital records match actual admissions.
• Audit of Documents: Colleges are conducting a final audit of the original certificates submitted, including the mandatory internship completion and permanent registration certificates.
• Final List Upload: By the end of the day, institutions must upload the finalized list of "Joined" vs. "Non-Joined" candidates, which is the primary driver for the Round 3 seat matrix.

Key Highlights of the Round 2 Conclusion

The conclusion of Round 2 reporting has established the baseline for the remainder of the 2025-26 academic session. Several updates to the seat matrix and reporting rules were implemented during this phase to maximize seat occupancy.

• Reporting Extensions: The MCC extended the final reporting time to 6:00 PM on December 26 to accommodate candidates dealing with travel and documentation delays.
• Seat Matrix Revisions: Over 540 seats were added mid-round due to previous resignations, and 135 new postgraduate medical seats were sanctioned, bringing the total pool to over 32,200 seats.
• Resignation Window: The deadline for resigning from Round 1 and Round 2 seats also closed on December 26, meaning candidates who have joined now face restricted exit options.

Next Steps for Aspirants and Round 3 Preparation

As the focus shifts to Round 3, candidates who were not allotted a seat or those seeking further upgradation must stay vigilant. The upcoming round is often considered a "high-probability" window due to the inclusion of virtual vacancies and non-reporting seats.

• Fresh Registration: Candidates who did not register earlier or those who are eligible for fresh participation must prepare for the registration window opening on December 28.
• Choice Filling Strategy: Aspirants should analyze the upcoming vacancy matrix carefully, as Round 3 typically features seats from top clinical branches that were vacated during the resignation period.
• Administrative Proof: Candidates who have joined in Round 2 should ensure they have their system-generated admission slips, as these are the only valid proofs of a secured seat.

The completion of Round 2 reporting marks a significant milestone in the NEET PG 2025 journey, stabilizing the admission process across both All India and State quotas. Aspirants are strongly advised to monitor the official MCC portal (mcc.nic.in) daily to track real-time vacancy updates and ensure their registration for the next phase is completed within the stipulated deadlines.
