NEET-UG 2022 Counselling:

Overview:

NEET-UG 2022 Counselling is conducted for admission to 91,927 MBBS, 27,698 BDS, 52,720 AYUSH, and 603 BVSc & AH seats in around 612 medical and 315 dental colleges in India, including AIIMS and JIPMER. NTA is responsible for the NEET-UG exam commencement and result declaration. Following the result declaration, NTA released a merit list based on the candidate’s NEET exam score and handed over the data to the counselling conducting authorities.

The counselling will be held separately for 15% All India Quota (AIQ) seats and 85% State Quota seats. MCC is the conducting authority of the 15% All India Quota seats in government colleges, 100% seats in deemed/ central universities, AIIMS, JIPMER, ESIC, AFMS and BSc Nursing programs. The respective State Medical Admission Authorities will fill the 85% State Quota seats.

The NEET-UG 2022 AIQ counselling will be conducted online in four rounds – Round 1, Round 2, and Mop-up round, followed by a Stray Vacancy round. To participate, eligible candidates must register at MCC. The counselling process includes various steps like registration, choice filling and locking, fee payment, seat processing, result, and reporting for document verification. After round 2 counselling, if seats remain vacant, they will be adjusted in the mop-up round. Candidates who participate in All India Counselling can also participate in State Counselling of their respective states.

Earlier MCC released a notification for all PwD candidates, asking them to generate their PwD disability certificate from any one of the designated NEET Disability Certification Centres through online mode only before the start of Round 1 of UG 2022 Counselling.

The seat allocation result will be released on MCC’s official portal after each round of counselling.
