Tips for NEET PG Counselling 2025 Choice Filling

Picking the right college and course? It’s a big deal; this is where your future really starts. Here are some tips to help you choose smartly:

  • Check last year’s cutoff trends according to your rank before locking in your options.

  • Research colleges thoroughly. Look into their reputation, faculty, hospital facilities, and overall atmosphere.

  • Consider the city or town where you’ll live for the next few years, as it matters (cost of living, lifestyle, distance from family).

  • Choose specialties that genuinely interest you, not just the popular or “trendy” ones.

  • Don’t wait until the last minute; lock in your choices well before the deadline.

  • Always keep some safe options in your list to avoid getting left without a seat.

Common Mistakes to Avoid During NEET PG Counselling

Even with a good rank, the wrong choices (or missing deadlines) can cost you a seat. Here’s what you don’t want to do:

  • Not locking your choices: Just saving isn’t enough. You must lock them before the deadline.

  • Going only for top colleges: Be realistic with your rank. Keep a mix of dream and safe options.

  • Skipping choice filling in Round 2 or Mop-Up: Some of the best seats free up in later rounds. Don’t miss out.

  • Missing deadlines or late registration: Once the window closes, you can’t go back.

  • Not researching colleges properly: Faculty, clinical exposure, hospital tie-ups, know what you’re signing up for.

  • Uploading the wrong documents: One error can disqualify your allotment. Double-check formats and file sizes.

  • Trusting unofficial websites: Only register through mcc.nic.in. No agents. No shortcuts.
