NEET 2025 Counselling Date: Check Here State-wise NEET UG Counselling Expected Schedule, Process and Fees

The NEET counselling process will likely start in July 2025, approximately one month after the declaration of the NEET result 2025. The National Testing Agency has released the NEET 2025 result on June 14, 2025. The result for NEET 2025 is available at the official website - neet.nta.ac.in. Candidates can check the result using their login details. 

The official notice regarding the NEET counselling date has not been updated on the website. Once the date is announced, we will update here in this article. Around 22 lakh candidates had appeared for the exam this year, which is less than last year. Owing to the tough difficulty level of the exam, the NEET 2025 cutoff is expected to be lower. Even though the cutoff percentiles will remain the same, the scores are likely to be lower. 

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) will manage the NEET 2025 counselling online, except for the final institute reporting stage. In this last stage, candidates must attend the allotted institute in person for document verification and to finalise admission. Expect approximately five to six rounds of NEET 2025 counselling, with the possibility of extra rounds if seats remain available.

NEET UG 2025 Counselling Dates (Expected)

The National Testing Agency has declared the result of the NEET UG 2025 exam. After the declaration of the result, NEET will start the counselling process.

NEET UG Counselling Process

The NEET 2025 counselling process is structured around four pivotal phases to allocate medical and dental seats to qualified candidates. 

1. Firstly, Round 1 initiates the counselling, allowing candidates to register, fill in their preferences, and subsequently, the seat allotment results are announced. Following this
2. Round 2 proceeds with a similar pattern for candidates who were either not allotted a seat in Round 1 or wish to participate for an upgrade. If seats remain vacant after these two rounds,
3.  Round 3, also known as the Mop-up Round, is conducted to fill those vacancies with a fresh round of registration and choice filling. 
4. In the final stage of the initial counselling, the Stray Vacancy Round is organised to address any remaining unfilled seats, which often arise due to candidates not joining their allotted seats or due to cancellations.
5.  Post these four core rounds, additional counselling rounds may be conducted if a substantial number of seats are still vacant. 

The decision to conduct supplementary rounds, and the number of such rounds, is entirely dependent on the real-time situation of seat availability and the directives issued by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) or the relevant state authorities. This ensures maximum seat allocation transparency and efficiency.

NEET UG Counselling Fees

The NEET UG counselling fee consists of two parts: a non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit. The amounts vary depending on the category of the candidate and the type of institution they are applying to.

It must be noted that -

• Refundable Security Deposit: This amount is generally refunded if a candidate is not allotted a seat after the counselling process. If a seat is allotted and accepted, the security deposit is usually adjusted against the annual fees of the allotted institution.
• State Quota Counselling Fees: The fees for 85% State Quota counselling can vary significantly from state to state. Candidates should refer to the official state counselling authority websites for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding state-specific fees.
• Payment Mode: The fees are typically paid online through net banking, credit card, or debit card.
