NEET 2025 counselling<\/b> is the process through which students who qualify the NEET exam are given seats in medical and dental colleges. Seats are allotted based on their NEET rank, category, marks in Class 12, and choices filled during counselling. The counselling process is divided into two parts \u2014 All India Quota (AIQ) and State Quota.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While the AIQ covers 15% of government college seats across the country, the remaining 85% of seats are managed by individual states. Each state has its own counselling body, rules, and eligibility conditions. Most states require students to show a domicile certificate to claim state quota seats.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Students must also regularly check official websites to stay updated on dates, documents required, and guidelines. Understanding the process early helps students plan better and increases their chances of getting a seat in a good medical college. Following the right steps is very important for admission success.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                Q1: What is the age limit for NEET 2025?<\/b>
                                \n<\/b>Candidates must be at least 17 years old by December 31, 2025. This rule ensures students are mature enough to start medical education and clinical training.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                \n<\/b> Most states ask for a domicile certificate to confirm your residency. Without it, you may not be eligible for 85% state quota seats during NEET counselling.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                \n<\/b> Yes, NEET scores are used for both MBBS and BDS admissions. So, if you don’t qualify for MBBS, you can still apply for BDS using the same score.<\/span><\/p>\n

                                Q5: Can I participate in both AIQ and state counselling?<\/b>
