The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has been designated as the authority to manage the counselling process for NEET UG 2024, which is the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) for undergraduate medical courses. The dates for the NEET counselling in 2024 will be updated on this platform once announced.
The MCC’s NEET counselling for 2024 will be conducted for 15% of All India Quota (AIQ) seats in government colleges, as well as 100% of seats in deemed/central universities, ESIC/AFMS, AIIMS, JIPMER, and BSc Nursing programs, based on the NEET 2024 exam scores. The NEET AIQ counselling process for 2024 will be divided into four rounds: round 1, round 2, mop-up, and stray vacancy.
Here are some important details regarding the factors involved in medical admissions in India:
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is responsible for conducting four rounds of counselling for MBBS admissions in India, namely AIQ Round 1, AIQ Round 2, AIQ Mop-up round, and stray vacancy round. Eligibility for these rounds is based on NEET 2023 results, except for candidates from the Union Territory of J&K. Any vacant seats after AIQ Round 2 will be returned to the respective states.
The AIQ for NEET counselling in 2024 will include the following:
The following categories of medical seats fall under the All India Quota:
The MCC conducts NEET 2024 counselling to determine admissions to MBBS/BDS courses in AIQ, deemed universities, and ESIC/AFMS colleges in India based on NEET 2024 results. There are two types of NTA NEET counselling: All India and State counselling. The AIQ NEET 2024 counselling process is the only method for admission to 15% of seats in all government medical and dental colleges, deemed universities, central universities, and ESIC/AFMC including DU, BHU, AMU, and AIIMS & JIPMER.
State NEET counselling 2024 is for admissions to 85% of seats in government colleges and all seats in private unaided/aided minority/non-minority medical/dental colleges in the state. Jammu & Kashmir candidates have also been included in the 15% All India Quota seats counselling process.
To begin the NEET UG counselling process, candidates who meet the eligibility criteria must first register at mcc.nic.in. During registration, they will need to provide their NEET roll number, registration number, name, mother’s name, and date of birth. After filling out the necessary information, they must pay the counselling fee and security fee using a credit card or debit card. The amount of the counselling fee and security fee varies based on the candidate’s institution type and category. For those in the 15% All India Quota/Central Universities, the neet ug counselling fees is Rs. 1,000 for UR category candidates and Rs. 500 for SC/ST/OBC/PwD candidates. The security fee for these candidates is Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 5,000, respectively. For Deemed Universities, the counselling fee for all categories is Rs. 5000, and the security fee is Rs. 2,00,000.
As a part of the NEET counselling process, candidates are required to create a list of their preferred colleges by filling out a “dummy sheet.” They can choose their dream college choices and use the NEET college predictor tool to understand their likelihood of getting accepted based on past data. Once the candidates complete this step and move on to the NEET counselling process in 2024, they will have the opportunity to select from the list of choices they have created in their dummy sheet.
After the NEET counselling process, candidates should log in to the official website and download their seat allotment letters promptly when they are released. During the first round, candidates have the option to exit for free, but in the second round, they will have to forfeit a fee to withdraw their seat allotment.
After a candidate receives an allotment of seats, they are required to report to the designated college to complete the admissions process. It is not mandatory for candidates to report or join during the first round, but those who wish to take a seat or upgrade must do so. In the second round, candidates who have been allocated a seat must report and join, unless they choose to forfeit their security deposit by opting out. When reporting to the assigned college, candidates must bring original copies of specified documents.
Candidates are required to bring the following documents when reporting to the assigned college after receiving a seat allotment:
NRI/ OCI candidates appearing for deemed universities must submit the following documents
For candidates who have been sponsored, the following documents may be required:
The NEET counselling process offers two types of exit options for candidates.
It’s important to note that candidates who join the allotted seat in the second round will not be eligible to surrender their seats and will not be permitted to participate in state counselling.
