The NEET SS Counselling 2025 process has come under the spotlight as medical professionals and resident doctor associations across India are pressing for an additional round of seat allotment to address a significant number of vacant super-speciality postgraduate seats. Reports indicate that approximately 1,700 seats remain unfilled following the ongoing counselling rounds, prompting calls for urgent intervention.
Why Are Seats Going Vacant?
Super-speciality medical seats often go unfilled due to a combination of factors including candidates declining allotted colleges, geographical preferences, branch mismatches, and candidates opting for private institutions over government ones. With such a large number of seats potentially going to waste, medical bodies argue that an extra counselling round is not just justified but necessary in the public interest.
What Are Doctors Demanding?
- Conduct at least one additional round of NEET SS Counselling 2025 to utilise vacant seats.
- Ensure that no super-speciality seat remains unfilled at the end of the counselling process.
- Transparent communication from the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) regarding the exact number of vacancies per institute and speciality.
- Timely official notification so that eligible candidates can plan accordingly.
Official Stand: Update Still Awaited
As of the time of publishing, neither the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) nor the National Medical Commission (NMC) has issued a formal statement confirming or denying an additional counselling round. Candidates and aspirants are advised to keep a close watch on the official MCC portal for any fresh notification.
What Should NEET SS Candidates Do Now?
- Regularly check the official MCC website at mcc.nic.in for updated counselling schedules.
- Keep all required documents — NEET SS scorecard, medical degree certificates, internship completion certificate, and valid ID proof — ready for a possible additional round.
- Register on the MCC portal if not already done, to remain eligible for any forthcoming allotment round.
