MCC NEET PG Counselling Process is the centralized admission process conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee for allocation of postgraduate medical seats across India. It covers not only All India Quota (AIQ) seats, Central Universities, Deemed Universities, and ESIC institutes, but also DNB (Diplomate of National Board) and NBE Diploma seats, making it the most comprehensive counselling system in NEET PG.
The entire process is conducted in a fully online mode, ensuring transparency and merit-based seat allocation. Admission is strictly based on NEET PG rank, reservation policies, and choices filled by candidates, without state domicile restrictions for AIQ, deemed universities, and DNB/NBE diploma institutions.
MCC counselling is conducted in multiple rounds, including Round 1, Round 2, Round 3 (Mop-Up Round), and Stray Vacancy Round, where eligibility, upgrade rules, and penalties vary at each stage. Candidates must clearly understand the process, as incorrect decisions—such as wrong choice filling or failure to report—can lead to seat cancellation, forfeiture, or disqualification from further rounds.
