The NEET UG 2025 counselling process is expected to begin soon. However, the exam authority has not given any confirmation on the counselling procedure for admission to MBBS, BDS, and BSc-Nursing courses in medical and dental colleges all over India. Students who qualify for the NEET UG 2025 exam must register on the official MCC website to participate in the counselling rounds. There are four types of counselling: All India Quota (AIQ) – 15% and State Quota – 85%, Counselling for Deemed & Central Universities, and Private Medical College Counselling.
AIQ Counselling (15%) is conducted by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for admission to MBBS/BDS seats in Central and Deemed Universities, including AIIMS, JIPMER, AMU, BHU, and others. State Quota Counselling (85%) is conducted by the respective state counselling authorities. Each state manages admissions to 85% of the seats in government and private medical colleges within the state. Deemed and Central Universities Counselling includes counselling for all seats in Deemed Universities and Central Universities like AIIMS, JIPMER, and others, which is also conducted by the MCC. Private Medical Colleges conduct their separate counselling processes for their seats, often based on NEET scores, but sometimes with additional criteria as well.
