The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has once again pushed back the deadline for NEET UG 2025 Round 1 choice filling and locking. As per the latest update on its official website, candidates can now submit and lock their choices until Monday, August 11, 11:59 pm.
This latest extension comes after repeated appeals from NRI and CW (Children of War) category candidates, as well as in view of ongoing court proceedings. Initially, the Round 1 seat allotment list was set to be declared on August 11. Prior to this, MCC had already extended the choice-filling window to August 7, 1:30 pm due to technical issues on the portal, allowing aspirants extra time to choose their preferred medical or dental colleges.
Once the Round 1 results are announced, candidates allotted a seat must download their allotment letter and report to the assigned institution within the stipulated dates to confirm their admission. Those who do not get a seat or wish to try again can participate in subsequent rounds. MCC will issue detailed reporting guidelines alongside the results on August 11.

Meanwhile, government data shows that despite a 39% increase in MBBS seats over the last few years, a notable number of undergraduate medical seats in India still go unfilled. According to figures shared by the National Medical Commission (NMC) in the Lok Sabha on August 1 by Minister of State for Health Anupriya Patel, MBBS seats have risen from 83,275 in 2020-21 to 1,15,900 in 2024-25. However, vacant seats (excluding AIIMS and JIPMER) touched a high of 4,146 in 2022-23, before declining to 2,849 in 2024-25.
