MCC Extends NEET UG Counselling Deadline Amid Technical Glitches on August 7, 2025

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has extended the deadline for choice filling and locking for NEET UG Counselling 2025 Round 1 to 1:30 PM on August 7, 2025, following technical issues faced by several students.

Originally scheduled to close earlier, the MCC revised the timeline due to a technical error that prevented candidates from registering their preferences for medical college seats on time. The extension allows affected students to complete the process without further disadvantage.

The MCC plays a crucial role in governing admission procedures for undergraduate medical courses across India, conducting centralized counselling based on NEET (National Eligibility cum Entrance Test) ranks.

This year, the round 1 counselling deadlines have been revised as follows: choice filling extended until 1:30 PM on August 7, 2025, with choice locking possible from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM the same day. The seat allotment results are scheduled for announcement on August 9, 2025.

Students are advised to stay updated with MCC notifications to avoid missing critical deadlines. The committee's quick response to technical difficulties underscores its commitment to a fair and transparent admission process.

The NEET UG counselling process is highly competitive, with lakhs of students vying for seats in government and private medical colleges. Any disruption in the counselling timeline can impact students' admission prospects significantly.
