NEET PG 2018 counselling process begins; online registration starts today

Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has started the counselling process for NEET PG 2018 with online registration opening from today. According to MCC, which conducts the online counselling process on behalf of DGHS, the choice filling process will begin from March 19.

The NEET PG qualified candidates will be allowed to register online until March 24, 2018, up to 5.00 PM followed by the choice filling and choice locking session. MCC has made few changes in the registration process, as per which the candidates will be required to register afresh for the second round of counselling. This can be beneficial for aspirants who miss participating in the first round of the counselling process.

Unlike last year, the counselling process for AIQ, Central and Deemed Universities will be conducted simultaneously.

The seats left vacant after the last rounds of counselling will be sent back to the respective authorities who can conduct their own counselling process to fill the vacancies.
