About NEET UG counselling process:

As per the NTA, the counselling for successful candidates for undergraduate medical / dental courses are done by the MCC/DGHS for seats under 15% All India Quota and 100% including 85% state quota seats of Central Institutions/Universities and Deemed Universities.

In the revised NEET UG information bulletin, the NTA said, “MCC only does the registration for AFMC and forwards the data of registered candidates to AFMC Authorities for the admission process. DU/BHU and other Universities may use the score for any other relevant courses being offered by them."

NEET PG exam dates released:
