How is NEET Counselling Conducted?

The counselling involves multiple rounds for various quotas, with each round having specific eligibility and participation conditions:

Registration:

• You need to register online on the designated website for the specific counselling type (MCC website for AIQ, state websites for state counselling).
• Pay the required registration fees during this stage.
• Ensure you have a valid photo ID, 12^th Passing Certificate, NEET UG admit card, NEET rank card (issued by NTA), and domicile proof (for state quota seats).

Choice Filling:

• This is a crucial step where you lock your preferred colleges in order of priority.

Seat Allotment:

• Seats are allocated based on your NEET rank, the choices you locked, and seat availability in each college.
• You can view your seat allotment result online on the designated website.

 Document Verification & Reporting:

• If you are allotted a seat, you must download the allotment letter.
• Report to the allotted college within the stipulated timeframe for document verification and physical verification (if applicable).
