What Happens Next? (Counselling Process)

2. Registration: MCC will release the counselling schedule tentatively by mid-February 2026.
3. Choice Filling: Qualified candidates will have to register on mcc.nic.in and select their preferred Super Specialty (DM/MCh/DrNB) courses and colleges.

Why Was This Exam Delayed?

The NEET SS 2025 cycle saw significant delays due to legal battles in the Supreme Court regarding the examination calendar and eligibility criteria. Usually held in September, the exam was pushed to December 2025, with results finally arriving in January 2026. This delay means the academic session for Super Specialty courses will likely begin in March-April 2026.
