NEET PG 2025 Counselling Uncertainty Intensifies
Temporary Extension Announced and Withdrawn
New Delhi: Recent developments have heightened uncertainty regarding the NEET PG 2025 counselling as the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) reportedly announced a temporary ‘2-3 day extension’ for Round 1 choice filling. This announcement sparked widespread concern among candidates before it was subsequently retracted. Aspirants took to social media to express their disappointment over the ongoing delays in the counselling process.
MCC Advises Candidates to Check Revised Schedule
The MCC has since removed the initial notice from its website and advised candidates to refer to the updated PG schedule available on the MCC PG website. “This is to inform all candidates that the revised PG schedule has been uploaded on the MCC PG website. Candidates are advised to check the updated schedule,” stated the MCC.
Current Timeline for NEET PG 2025 Counselling
According to the latest revised schedule released on November 16, 2025, the choice filling and locking process for NEET PG 2025 Round 1 was initially set to conclude on November 18, 2025. The seat allotment process is scheduled to commence on November 19, with results expected to be declared on November 21, 2025. Candidates will need to report to their respective colleges to confirm admissions for the allotted seats between November 21 and November 27. Additionally, the verification of candidates who have joined will take place from November 28 to November 30.
Reactions to the Announcement
The MCC’s sudden notification regarding the extension of choice filling has generated significant chatter on the social media platform X. Dr. Mohammad Momin Khan criticized the extension, calling it “Unacceptable!” He emphasized that delays in NEET PG counselling are detrimental to the future of healthcare, urging authorities to act promptly to mitigate these delays.
Dr. Khan, a National Executive of the FAIMA Doctors Association, stated, “The repeated delay in NEET PG Counselling is deeply affecting thousands of young doctors. Their careers, mental well-being, and future training are all on hold. We request Hon’ble Shri J.P. Nadda ji and the concerned authorities to urgently look into this issue and take immediate action to end this uncertainty.”
Concerns Over Extended Delays
Dr. Khan further noted that the removal of the prior notice could indicate a longer delay than anticipated. “This lack of clarity is causing serious concern among doctors across India,” he remarked. Dr. Aman Maurya also voiced frustration on X, referring to the continuous delays in the NEET PG counselling process as a “never-ending love story.”
Dr. Sumit K criticized the National Medical Commission (NMC) for the prolonged delays, stating, “NMC has turned PG/UG/SS counselling into a complete mockery. NEET PG 2025 counselling has been delayed for over 70 days after the exam, and apparently only 2 out of 24 members are working. A totally corrupt, dysfunctional, and impotent body.”
Demands for Immediate Action
Dr. Rohan Krishnan, Chief Patron of the FAIMA Doctors Association, expressed his disappointment over the ongoing delays. He urged for immediate commencement of the NEET PG counselling process, demanding that results for the first round be released by November 21, 2025. “It is sad that @NMC_BHARAT is not in sync with @NbeIndia @MoHFW_INDIA & #MCC. NEET PG delay is a great deal of pain for young doctors,” he stated.
After the MCC released the revised counselling schedule, Dr. Krishnan expressed hope that there would be no further delays. “New schedule of #neetpgcounselling2025 is out. I thank @MoHFW_INDIA @NbeIndia for hearing us out and acting accordingly. I also thank #chairmanMCC for this. I sincerely hope that there will be no more delay,” he noted.
Dr. Krishnan also expressed optimism about the adherence to the newly released schedule, emphasizing the need for timely action to alleviate the suffering of young doctors due to these delays.
