MCC has released a new notification on 19 November regarding NEET PG Round 1 counselling.
The circular includes three important points and updated schedule dates that every PG aspirant must understand.

Let’s break it down step-by-step.

📌 MCC NEET PG 2025 – 19 November Notification: Key Points

1️⃣ 239 New PG Seats Added

A total of 239 new PG seats (DM/MD/MS/other specialities) from various Deemed Universities were newly sanctioned by NMC and have now been added to the seat matrix.

This is why MCC had previously announced an extension — because the updated seat matrix was awaited.

2️⃣ 235 PG DNB Seats Withdrawn

MCC has also withdrawn 235 DNB seats, which include:

• 186 Government DNB seats

• 49 Private DNB seats

These seats will not be available for allotment in Round 1.

3️⃣ More Seats Will Be Added in Round 2

MCC has confirmed that newly sanctioned MD/MS/Deemed University seats (which are still under process) will be added to the seat matrix during Round 2.

This means Round 2 will have more seats than Round 1.

📌 Updated Schedule (19 November Correction)

Rectified Seat Matrix Released

• 19 November — Fresh updated matrix has been published.

1️⃣ Choice Filling (Revised Dates)

• 20 – 21 November

• Choice filling closes on 21 November, 12:00 PM (noon)

Students must fill and lock choices within this timeline.

2️⃣ Round 1 Result Date

• 22 November

The Round 1 allotment result will be published on the same day for all states.

3️⃣ Reporting Window (Round 1)

• 23 November – 1 December

Students must report to the allotted college and complete admission formalities within this period.

🔍 Important Insight: When Will the Cutoff Percentile Be Reduced?

A very important point in the notification relates to percentile reduction.

Why percentile gets reduced?

• After Round 1 & 2 reporting, many speciality seats remain vacant

• Colleges request MCC/NMC to lower the qualifying percentile so that more students are eligible

• This helps fill vacant MD/MS/DNB seats across India

When will the percentile be reduced this year?

Percentile will go down only after Round 2 reporting is completed.

Because Round 1 and Round 2 schedules have shifted and extended,
the percentile reduction will also be delayed.

This is a crucial insight for students waiting for the reduced cutoff.
