The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has extended the registration deadline for NEET UG Counselling 2025 to August 3, allowing aspiring medical students more time to apply for MBBS and BDS admissions under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats. This extension is primarily aimed at accommodating Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD) candidates, who are still in the process of obtaining their mandatory disability certificates from designated centres.
In a significant move towards inclusivity, the MCC has established 16 designated disability centres across the country. PwBD candidates must approach these centres with their UDID card and self-certified documents to obtain a valid disability certificate. The certificate is a mandatory requirement for participation in the NEET UG 2025 AIQ counselling process.
Earlier, the Round 1 seat allotment was scheduled to be declared on August 3, but the revised timeline has pushed the seat allotment result to August 6. The decision ensures that all eligible PwBD candidates have adequate time to secure the necessary documentation without being excluded from the counselling process.
Revised NEET UG Round 1 Counselling Schedule 2025:
| Counselling Event | Revised Date and Time |
| Registration Deadline | August 3, up to 1 PM |
| Payment of Fees | August 3, up to 4 PM |
| Choice Filling | August 3, up to 11:59 PM |
| Choice Locking | August 3, from 6 PM to 11:55 PM |

Through four rounds of counselling, over 1.15 lakh MBBS seats will be filled. This includes seats in deemed universities, central universities, and other institutions under the AIQ scheme. The updated seat matrix and counselling schedule are available on the official MCC portal.
Candidates are strongly advised to complete their registration, fee payment, and choice locking within the revised timeline. This extended window is a crucial opportunity for those awaiting certificates or needing more time for decision-making, for more details and register CLICK HERE
