NEW DELHI: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has put on hold the NEET UG 2025 round one choice filing and choice locking facility.
The Committee has not shared any reason for the decision. However, it has mentioned that the revised schedule will be released shortly.
“The Choice Filling & Choice Locking for Round-1 has been put on hold. The revised schedule will be announced shortly,” read the official website.
According to the revised NEET UG counselling schedule for 2025, candidates were required to submit and lock their choices by August 4.
The round 1 seat allotment results were initially set to be released on August 6. However, the schedule was extended to accommodate Persons with Benchmark Disabilities (PwBD), who had requested additional time to obtain their certificates from designated centres.
In addition, the counselling committee had advised all participating institutions under the All India Quota (AIQ)—including central universities, deemed universities, AIIMS, and BSc nursing colleges involved in the NEET UG 2025 counselling for MBBS, BDS, and BSc Nursing programmes — to verify the accuracy of the tentative vacancies listed in the MCC seat matrix. A notification was issued in this regard.
