The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially extended the NEET UG 2025 Round 1 choice-filling and choice-locking process till August 7, 2025. As per the revised schedule released on the official MCC website — mcc.nic.in — candidates now have additional time to complete and lock their preferences for undergraduate medical admissions.
Following the successful declaration of the NEET UG 2025 results, candidates eligible for counselling must register online, pay the counselling fee, and fill in their preferred colleges and courses to participate in the seat allotment process. This extended timeline provides much-needed relief to aspirants seeking admission to MBBS, BDS, and other allied medical courses in India.
The revised NEET UG 2025 counselling schedule is as follows:
| Event | Revised Dates |
| Registration and fee payment | July 21 – August 3, 2025 |
| Choice filling | July 22 – August 7, 2025 |
| Choice locking | August 6 – August 7, 2025 |
| Processing of seat allotment | August 6 – August 7, 2025 |
| Round 1 seat allotment result | August 9, 2025 |
| Reporting to allotted colleges | August 9 – August 18, 2025 |
Once the choice-filling and locking window closes, MCC will begin the processing of seat allotment based on the choices submitted by the candidates. The Round 1 seat allotment result will be declared on August 9, 2025. Candidates allotted seats must report to their respective colleges between August 9 and 18, 2025 to confirm their admission by completing the necessary documentation and fee payment.
It is important for candidates to ensure the accuracy of the choices filled and locked, as these will be considered final for Round 1 seat allotment. MCC has also advised aspirants to visit the official website regularly for real-time updates and to avoid last-minute issues.
