Why MCC Revised the NEET SS Counselling Schedule
The competent authority withdrew its earlier notification dated August 3, 2026, with immediate effect. The NEET SS round 1 resignation portal remained open for all candidates till 4 pm on August 7, 2026, while the revised schedule is available on the official MCC website.
NEET SS Counselling Dates: Revised Round 2 Schedule
The table below outlines the updated NEET SS counselling dates following the MCC's revised notification. Round 2 registration closes today, August 10, 2026, at 6 pm:
| Event | Date |
|---|---|
| Round 1 resignation | August 6 (10 am) to August 7, 2026 (4 pm) |
| Verification of seat matrix by institutes | August 8, 2026 |
| Round 2 registration | Up to 6 pm on August 10, 2026 |
| Payment facility | Up to 9 pm on August 10, 2026 |
| NEET SS choice filling | Available up to 5 pm on August 11, 2026 |
| Choice locking | August 11, 2026 (10 am to 5 pm) |
| Seat allotment processing | August 12, 2026 |
| Round 2 result | August 13, 2026 |
| Reporting to allotted institutes | August 14 to 20, 2026 |
Candidates who have not yet registered for round 2 must complete the process before 6 pm today, since any delay could affect their participation in round 2, and the window is unlikely to be extended without a fresh court directive.
Working Days for NEET SS Counselling 2025
To ensure the revised schedule is completed without delay, the MCC has directed all participating institutes and colleges to treat Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays as working days during this counselling window. This measure is intended to help the process stay on track despite the compressed timeline caused by the court-ordered revision.
What This Means for NEET SS Candidates
Candidates who were allotted a seat in round 1 and resigned during the extended window have already secured their security deposit refund, provided they completed the process before the August 7 deadline. Those participating in round 2, including candidates covered under the Delhi High Court's order, must complete registration by 6 pm today and choice filling by 5 pm on August 11, 2026.
Given the frequent updates to the MCC counselling 2025 schedule this year, candidates are strongly advised to regularly check the official MCC website for the latest notifications, rather than relying solely on previously published dates.
Background: What Triggered This Change
This is not the first revision to the NEET SS 2025 counselling schedule. The MCC had earlier issued a notification on August 3, 2026, before withdrawing it following the Delhi High Court's intervention. The court's order specifically addressed petitioner candidates seeking the opportunity to re-register and participate in round 2, prompting the committee to adjust its schedule accordingly.
