Counselling Process
Breakdown of the NEET MDS Counselling Process

 Seat allotment is based on the seat matrix issued by the government, which is
detailed on Panjab University
 Allotments are made based on merit, entered options by candidates, and the
government's roster system.
  There will be multiple iterations of seat allotment: First Round, Second Round, and
Mop-up Round

ROUND 1:

 Phase 1 (First Round of Counselling):

 Registration & Choice Filling: Eligible candidates should first register for the
counselling process. After registration, they will be allowed to fill in their choices
(course and college preference). It's essential to fill in as many choices as possible to
maximize the chances of securing a seat.
 Locking Choices: After making their selections, candidates must lock their choices. If
not locked, choices will be automatically locked after the deadline.
 Allotment & Result Declaration: The system then allots seats based on the
candidate's rank, category, and choices filled. The allotment result is published on
the official website.
 Reporting to Allotted College: Once a seat is allotted, candidates need to report to
the respective college, get their documents verified, and pay the required fee to
confirm their seat.
 Seat Upgradation: If a candidate is not satisfied with the allotted seat and wishes for
a better seat, they can opt for upgradation in the next round without losing the current
seat.

Mop-up round:

 Vacant Seat Display: After the two main rounds, the system displays the vacant
seats, if any.
  Registration & Choice Filling: New registrations are allowed, and candidates can
fill in their choices for the available seats.
 Seat Allotment & Reporting: The system allots seats, and candidates need to
report to the colleges within a stipulated period.

choices during the mop-up round as there are penalties for not joining after being
allotted a seat. It ensures genuine candidates get the seats, and there's no hoarding.

Post Counselling Process

colleges may conduct a stray vacancy round, primarily at the college level.

 Reserved Seats/Categories Documentation: Candidates who are eligible for
reserved seats or categories must provide supporting documents along with their
Admission Form. These documents should be self-attested photocopies and issued
by a competent authority. The specimen format for these documents can be found in
the Annexures of the Prospectus.
 Candidates with Disabilities (PwD): In accordance with the rules and regulations
set by the Dental Council of India, candidates with disabilities, specifically those with
lower limb disabilities, are eligible for admission. The following points outline the
criteria for admission for PwD candidates:
 5% Reserved Seats: 5% of the total annual intake capacity will be set aside for
candidates with locomotory disability of lower limbs, specifically those with disabilities
between 50% to 70%.
 Filling Unfilled Seats: If any seats within this 5% quota remain vacant because
there are no candidates with locomotory disability of lower limbs between 50% to
70%, these vacant seats will be filled by candidates with locomotory disability of
lower limbs between 40% to 50%. Only after this, any remaining unfilled seats will be
included in the general category seats.
Choice Modification/Withdrawal
Before making choices during the NEET-MDS counselling process, candidates are strongly
advised to verify important details such as stipend, fee structure, course duration,
bond amount, and service obligations in rural/tribal areas directly with the respective
colleges or institutions. This step is essential to ensure informed decision-making before
choice filling

Guidelines to follow during choice filling:

● Prioritize your choices. Make a list of your top colleges and courses, in order of

preference. This will help you to make informed decisions when filling your choices.
Consider your career goals, interests, and personal preferences when making your
list.

● Be realistic. Keep your NEET-PG score and rank in mind when filling your choices.

Don't fill too many choices for colleges and courses that are out of your reach.
However, also avoid filling too few choices, as this could limit your chances of getting
allotted a seat.

● Be flexible. It is important to be flexible with your choices, as you may not be allotted

your first choice. Be willing to consider other options as well. You can also fill your
choices for different rounds of counselling to increase your chances of getting a seat.

● Seek guidance. If you are unsure about your choices, talk to your family and friends,

or seek advice from a counselor. They can help you to weigh your options and make
the best decision for your future.

Allotments:

1. In case a candidate is not allotted any seat in the second round, they will retain the
earlier allotted seat from Round 1.
 - However, if a seat is upgraded in the second round, the earlier allotted seat
from Round 1 will be automatically cancelled and allocated to another
candidate.
- Therefore, candidates are advised to fill in only higher choices or any other
preferences they may have for the second round.

2. Candidates are not required to report or join the college allotted in Round 1 since
there is a free exit.
- However, if they wish to retain the Round 1 seat, they must physically join the
college from Round 1 and express their willingness to give upgradation for
Round 2 at the time of admission.

3. Fresh choice submission is necessary for eligible candidates to be considered for

seat allotment in Round 2.

- If a candidate fails to submit fresh choices during the choice-filling period,

they will not be considered for seat allotment in Round 2 and will retain the
already allotted (joined) seat, if applicable.

4. Once a candidate accepts a seat from the 15% All India Quota in the second round,
they cannot vacate that seat.

- If a seat is allotted to a candidate in the second round, the seat allotted in the
first round will be automatically cancelled, and the candidate must join the
college/seat allotted in the second round after obtaining an online-generated
relieving letter from the college allotted in Round 1.

5. Failure to join the college/seat allotted in the second round within the stipulated
period will result in the forfeiture of the candidate's fee, and they will need to register
again for the Mop-up Round.

6. In cases where a seat is upgraded within the same college (same course) due to a
change of category (e.g., ST/SC/OBC to UR), the candidate must complete the fresh
admission process for the upgraded seat.

7. If a seat is allotted in Round 2 based on the choices filled by the candidate before
Round 2, the seat allotted in Round 1 will be automatically cancelled.

8. Hence, candidates should fill their choices carefully, giving preference to seats that
are of higher priority than their earlier allotted seats.
Choice Modifications:

● Candidates are allowed to modify their choices once during the counselling process.

This can be done after the release of the first allotment list. To modify your choices,
you must log in to your MCC account and go to the "Choice Modification" section.

 Click on the "Modify Choices" button.

● You will be able to add or remove choices, and you can also rearrange the order of

your choices.

Important points:

● You can only modify your choices once.

● You cannot modify your choices after the release of the final allotment list.

● If you modify your choices, you will be considered for the next round of counselling.

● Here are some tips for modifying your choices:
