In a significant relief for NEET SS 2024 aspirants, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has extended the deadline for Round 2 Counselling Registration and Choice Filling. As per the updated schedule, candidates now have until June 12, 2025, to register, fill, and lock their choices for Super Specialty (SS) admissions. This move by the MCC comes in response to repeated requests from students seeking additional time to make informed decisions about their future medical careers. The revised timeline has been officially updated on the MCC website.
This extension impacts thousands of super-specialty aspirants who are now re-evaluating their preferences in light of vacant seats, specialty-specific cut-offs, and course availability. Candidates are urged to complete their choice filling and locking process before the final deadline to ensure eligibility for the seat allotment round.
