The NEET PG 2024 Counselling Round 2 registration has officially begun, providing candidates who were not allotted a seat in Round 1, or those who wish to upgrade their preferences, with a crucial opportunity to secure a place in postgraduate medical courses. This round also allows candidates who chose not to join their Round 1 seat or surrendered it to participate again.
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is overseeing the process, and it’s essential for candidates to be well-informed about the dates and procedures involved in the counselling and seat allotment process.
Important Dates for NEET PG 2024 Counselling Round 2:
- Registration Start Date:
- Registration for Round 2 of the NEET PG 2024 counselling process has already begun. Candidates must complete their registration and fill in their preferences for institutions and courses before the deadline.
- Choice Filling and Locking:
- Once registered, candidates need to select their preferred courses and colleges from the available options. After filling out the choices, they must lock their preferences. It is vital that candidates complete the locking process within the specified time frame, as failure to do so will result in their preferences not being considered for seat allocation.
- Seat Allotment Results:
- After the choice-locking period ends, the seat allotment for Round 2 will be published by the MCC. Candidates will receive their allotment details, including the course and institution they have been allotted.
- Reporting to the Allotted College (December 13 to 20):
- Candidates who are allotted a seat in Round 2 must report to the allotted college between December 13 and December 20, 2024. This is the time window within which candidates need to visit the college and complete the initial admission process. During this period, candidates will need to submit the required documents for verification.
- Verification of Joined Candidates (December 21 to 22):
- The verification process for candidates who have joined their allotted colleges will take place from December 21 to December 22, 2024. This will include confirming that candidates have completed all the necessary formalities and document submission at the allotted college.
- Important Documents for Verification:
- NEET PG 2024 Admit Card
- NEET PG Rank Card
- Marksheet of MBBS or equivalent degree
- Permanent Medical Registration Certificate
- Caste Certificate (if applicable)
- PwD Certificate (if applicable)
- These documents will need to be verified at the allotted college during the reporting period.
- Upgradation of Seat or Non-Joining of Seat:
- If a candidate was allotted a seat in Round 1 and did not join, they can still participate in Round 2 and may be allotted a different course or college. Additionally, candidates who were allotted a seat but did not join it will not be considered for subsequent rounds of counselling unless they report during Round 2.
- No Joining of Seat:
- If candidates do not report or join the allotted seat during the designated period, they will be disqualified from further rounds of counselling. They may also lose the option to receive a refund (if applicable) based on MCC’s refund policy.
- Refund Process for Non-Joining Candidates:
- For candidates who are allotted a seat but choose not to join, a partial refund will be processed according to MCC’s rules. Candidates must ensure they understand the refund policy to avoid any confusion.
Additional Information for Candidates:
- Eligibility for Round 2:
Candidates who were either not allotted a seat in Round 1, opted not to join the seat they were allotted, or wish to upgrade their preferences can participate in Round 2. Candidates who were allotted a seat in Round 1 and joined it will not be eligible to participate in further rounds of counselling. - Stay Updated on MCC Website:
Candidates should check the official MCC website regularly for updates on seat allotments, changes in schedules, and other important instructions. Timely registration and proper documentation are essential for successfully securing a seat in Round 2.
Conclusion:
The NEET PG 2024 Counselling Round 2 is a vital opportunity for candidates to secure admission to their desired postgraduate medical courses. The registration process requires careful attention to the given deadlines, including the reporting dates of December 13 to 20, and the verification period from December 21 to 22.
