Details on NEET counselling process
Eligible candidates will have to complete online registration, pay the prescribed counselling fee, and fill in and lock their preferred choices of colleges and courses within the stipulated timeline. Seat allotment will be carried out after each round based on several factors, including the candidate's NEET rank, category, reservation policy, preferences submitted during counselling, and the availability of seats.
Candidates who are allotted a seat must report to the designated institute for document verification and completion of admission formalities within the specified deadline. Failure to do so may result in cancellation of the allotted seat.
Can you register for more than one state?
Candidates can register for more than one state's counselling process only if they meet that state's eligibility criteria. While most states reserve 85% government medical college seats for domicile candidates, some also allow non-domicile candidates to apply for private or management quota seats.
