Counselling is one of the most important parts of a competitive exam, and when the exam is one of the largest entrance exams in the country, the process becomes all the more important. The NEET counselling is the juncture at which most of the students get confused and make mistakes. This is also the phase that is "make or break" apart from the exam duration.
NEET counselling is the process where the students choose and organize their college preferences. Then, the counselling authority goes through their choices and allocates them a seat keeping their rank in consideration.
MBBS, BDS, AYUSH, BVSc & AH, and BSc Nursing admissions will be conducted online by the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for NEET 2022. NTA will announce the counselling dates for NEET 2022 after the examination and result announcement. In addition, the state conducting authority will release the NEET state rank 2022.
All those candidates who register for the first-round for NEET counselling 2022 must provide their personal, academic, NEET-UG, contact, and other details. They must also pay the NEET 2022 counselling fee online. In addition, aspirants will need to select colleges for admission and courses during the MCC NEET counselling 2022. The step-wise process for the Mop-Up counselling is also explained further in the article.
NEET-UG seats will be allocated after the registration process, considering the NEET scores, choices filled out, seats available, reservation criteria, among others. As a result, there will be approximately 20,000 seats under the 15% All India Quota (AIQ) in NEET counselling. The counselling will provide the route to fill the seats in all deemed/central universities, ESIC/AFMS colleges, AIIMS, and JIPMER colleges.
MCC counselling is the method used for admission to MBBS and BDS programmes under the AIQ, in deemed and central universities, and ESIC/AFMS colleges. These medical courses are open to candidates who qualify for the NEET exam.
There are two types of NTA NEET counselling: all India and state. The counselling process for NEET-UG is as follows.

The NEET 2022 counselling will offer the following options to the students at the renowned central universities.
The counselling conducting authority will announce the dates for NEET 2022. MCC will fill the 15% of All India Quota (AIQ) seats and 100% seats at deemed colleges and universities, ESIC/AFMS institutions, AIIMS, and JIPMER for NEET admission 2022. In contrast, state authorities will announce counselling dates for 85% of state quota seats in NEET-UG 2022. MCC or state authorities will organise the mop-up round after the completion of the normal counselling rounds. Then, the authorities will announce the respective dates.
The candidates must follow the following steps to participate in the mop-up round:
Step 1: Candidates must register again for the mop-up round (not required for those already registered).
Step 2: Candidates must perform the filling/ locking of their choices.
Step 3: MCC does the allotment of seats for the mop-up round of NEET counselling.
Step 4: The authority publishes the results.
Step 5: Candidates must report to the allotted college of medicine or dentistry.
The below-given steps are for the seats left even after the mop-up rounds.
Step 6:Applicants must send their names ten times (of the registered candidates) for the numbers of vacant posts to Deemed / Central Universities to be filled strictly in order of merit.
Step 7: Deemed/Central Universities will conduct the final round of vacancies. (There are no new registrations in this round.)
To apply to a deemed university, NRIs and OCIs must submit the following documents
Free Exit (only for round 1): If a candidate is assigned a seat in round 1, but he/she doesn't report to/join the assigned college, he/she will not lose his/her security deposit. This candidate is still eligible for the following rounds.
Exit with Forfeiture: Within a given timeframe, candidates with allotted seats in round 2 who do not wish to accept the seats can still exit with forfeiture (losing the security amount deposited).
But in the second round, if candidates accept a seat, they cannot resign/surrender the seat. Moreover, NTA will not permit such candidates to participate in the state counselling process and the further rounds that follow.
Ques: When would the students need to furnish the documents?
Ans: The documents necessary for the counselling process come in handy when the students report to the allocated college. However, the student doesn't need them during the registration process.
Ques: What happens when the caste certificate is not available during the NEET counselling?
Ans: The authorities cancel the student's candidature under the caste reservation, and the student is considered a candidate in the general category. If his/her merit is up to the required mark, then a college is awarded.
Ques: What happens if the candidate doesn't lock the choices in the counselling form?
Ans: It is very important to lock the choices in the counselling form. If the candidate doesn't lock the choices in the counselling, then the platform does that for him/her on the counselling date.
