NEET SS 2025 Round 2 Schedule

What Is the New Auto Upgradation Rule?

MCC has introduced a major change in the Round 2 upgradation policy. All candidates will now be considered for auto upgradation in Round 2. This applies whether or not they opted for upgradation in Round 1.

The earlier rule needed candidates to give explicit willingness for upgradation. That condition has been removed for this round. Aspirants who prefer a better seat should therefore fill fresh choices in Round 2.

How Should Round 1 Allottees Handle Round 2?

Candidates who joined a Round 1 seat and want to keep it must not submit choices in Round 2. Filing any choice will pull them into the upgradation pool automatically. Their original Round 1 seat will then stand cancelled if a new seat is allotted.

Those satisfied with their current allotment should simply skip the choice filling step. Their Round 1 admission will remain intact under this approach.

Why Was the Schedule Delayed?

The NEET SS 2025 Round 2 counselling was held up due to a pending Supreme Court matter. The case concerns the reversion of in-service medical seats in Tamil Nadu to the All India Quota pool. MCC has stated the registration facility will remain open until further court orders.

Seat matrix updates have already been issued for Tamil Nadu vacant in-service seats. Candidates should track the MCC website for any revised dates linked to the court verdict.
