MCC Extends NEET UG 2025 Round 2 Counselling After Addition of 197 New Medical Seats
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has extended the NEET UG 2025 Round 2 counselling schedule after a key revision in the medical seat matrix. In a notable update, 197 new medical seats have been introduced, creating more opportunities for aspiring medical students across the country.
🏥 Updates in the Seat Matrix
The fresh additions are as follows:
- 9 seats in the Employees State Insurance Scheme (ESI) quota at ESIC Medical College, Hyderabad.
- 158 seats in the Deemed/Paid quota and 30 seats in the Non-Resident Indian (NRI) quota at Jawahar Lal Nehru Medical College, Belagavi.
These seats were introduced after receiving accreditation from the National Medical Commission (NMC), leading the MCC to revise the counselling schedule.
🔧 Why the Extension?
The extension of the counselling timeline is primarily due to the addition of new seats and the ongoing scrutiny of NRI documents. This process is essential to ensure that all candidates meet the necessary eligibility and documentation standards for admission under the various quotas.
📝 What Should Candidates Do Now?
Candidates who have already submitted their preferences for counselling are advised to revisit the MCC portal and update their choices to include the newly added seats. This ensures that they don’t miss out on potential opportunities due to the expanded seat matrix.
