The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially extended the schedule for Round 1 of NEET UG 2025 counselling.

Why Was the Schedule Extended Again?
According to the MCC's official notice, the extension was granted due to:
- Requests from NRI candidates, who often encounter additional documentation and procedural hurdles.
- PwBD candidates, who need more time to complete the process through inclusive and accessible systems.
- Legal developments, which have impacted the eligibility or classification of certain candidates.
To ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all, MCC has revised the schedule so that no eligible candidate is excluded due to delays or ongoing legal proceedings.
