MCC Reopens NEET SS 2025 Round 2 Registration; Check Automatic Upgradation Rule

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has reopened NEET SS 2025 Round 2 registration. The choice filling window is also live on the official portal at mcc.nic.in. Candidates can now register, reset registration, or fill fresh choices for Round 2 seats.

A pending Supreme Court case on Tamil Nadu in-service seats triggered this reopening. The registration facility will stay open until further orders from the court. MCC has issued the notice on the Super Speciality Counselling section of its portal.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test Super Speciality (NEET SS) is the qualifying exam for DM and MCh seats. MCC conducts the All India Quota counselling for these seats every year. Round 2 is the second and often final regular allotment stage.

Who Is Eligible for Automatic Upgradation in Round 2?

MCC has made upgradation automatic in Round 2 for every registered candidate. This applies whether or not the doctor opted for upgradation during Round 1. All Round 1 allottees now sit in the upgradation pool by default.

Candidates who did not tick the willingness box earlier are still eligible. The change removes a common reason for missing an upgrade in past cycles. MCC has confirmed the policy in its July 6 notice.

What Happens If You Skip Round 2 Choice Filling?

Candidates who wish to keep their Round 1 seat should not fill Round 2 choices. MCC will retain the Round 1 seat if no fresh choices are submitted. Filling choices in Round 2 means accepting a possible upgrade.

Once a candidate is upgraded, the earlier Round 1 seat is released. There is no option to return to the previous allotment after an upgrade. Doctors should weigh their choices carefully before submitting the form.

Why Did MCC Reopen Round 2 Registration?

The reopening links to the case Tamilvani and Others vs State of Tamil Nadu. The petition is filed as W.P. No. 415 of 2026 before the Supreme Court. It deals with reverting Tamil Nadu in-service seats to the All India Quota pool.

MCC has kept the registration window open pending the court's directions. This allows all interested doctors a chance to register once seats are finalised. Fresh seats may enter the Round 2 matrix based on the final ruling.
