The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) conducts centralized counselling for NEET UG, NEET PG, and NEET Super Speciality (SS) courses at the All India level. This process ensures fair seat allocation across government, deemed, and central universities. Understanding how each counselling works is essential for making the right decisions.
NEET UG counselling by MCC covers 15% All India Quota seats in government colleges, along with deemed universities, central universities, and AIIMS/JIPMER institutions. The process includes multiple rounds like Round 1, Round 2, Mop-Up, and Stray Vacancy. Choice filling strategy and understanding cutoffs play a major role in securing a good MBBS/BDS seat.
NEET PG counselling is conducted for MD/MS/DNB courses under All India Quota, deemed universities, and central institutions. It follows a similar multi-round system, but with stricter rules like forfeiture of security deposit in later rounds. Rank, clinical vs non-clinical branch preference, and college reputation are key decision factors.
NEET Super Speciality (SS) counselling is conducted for DM/MCh courses and is highly rank-specific due to limited seats. There is usually no broad reservation like UG/PG, and choices must be extremely precise. Even small mistakes in preference order can result in losing a highly valuable super-speciality seat.
