Aspirants in Tamil Nadu are on high alert as the Directorate of Medical Education (DME) is likely to release the updated seat matrix for the second round of NEET UG 2025 counselling in the coming days.

Sources from the DME suggest that the release of the seat matrix is imminent. The delay is due to a waiting period for the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) to finalize and release the updated list of seats, including any newly approved colleges. The second round will incorporate a mix of seats that were not filled in Round 1, seats that were surrendered by candidates after taking a "free exit," and any new seats sanctioned by the National Medical Commission (NMC).

The high number of candidates who opted for the "free exit" option after the first round has led to a considerable number of vacancies, making the second round a golden opportunity for aspirants with lower ranks. Once the seat matrix is published on the official website, https://tnmedicalselection.net/, it will be a crucial document for all candidates.

While the official dates for the next phases are yet to be announced, here is what aspirants should expect to follow the seat matrix release:

• Fresh Registration: Candidates who did not register in the first round will have an opportunity to register and participate in Round 2.
• Choice Filling and Locking: All eligible candidates will be required to fill in a new set of choices based on the updated seat matrix. The window for choice filling will be open for a limited period.
• Seat Allotment: Based on the submitted choices, a fresh seat allotment will be conducted, followed by the release of the results.
• Reporting to Allotted Colleges: Candidates who are allotted a seat will need to report to their assigned college with all the required original documents for verification and admission.

Aspirants are advised to keep a close watch on the official website and to have their documents ready to avoid any last-minute hassle.
