NEET MDS Counselling 2025 Registration Begins Today

The NEET MDS 2025 counselling registration for Round 1 starts today, June 24, 2025, on the official MCC website: https://mcc.nic.in/. Dental graduates who passed the NEET MDS exam can now apply for a seat under the 50% All India Quota (AIQ) in top dental colleges across India. The process will continue through multiple rounds based on seat availability and preference.

Round 1 Schedule: Key Dates

Subsequent rounds include Round 2, Round 3, and a Stray Vacancy Round, with registrations restarting on July 12, August 1, and August 19, respectively. 

Step-by-Step Counselling Process

• Registration: Visit the official website and click on the NEET‑MDS counselling link, and sign up using your NEET Exam roll number and other credentials.

• Fee Payment: Pay the non-refundable registration fee and a refundable security deposit online.

• Choice Filling & Locking: Select and lock your preferred colleges and MDS specializations within the deadline. 

• Seat Allotment Processing: MCC allocates seats based on rank, preferences, reservations, and availability.

• Seat Allotment Result: The outcome of the first round will be announced on July 3, 2025.

• Reporting & Verification: Shortlisted candidates must report to their allotted colleges from July 4 to 8, followed by document verification up to July 11.

Documents Required

It is advisable for all the candidates to make sure that they have the following documents ready:

• NEET‑MDS Scorecard & Admit Card

• BDS Degree & Internship Certificate

• DCI/State Dental Council Registration Certificate

• Valid Photo ID (Aadhaar, PAN, Passport)

• Caste/PwD Certificate (if needed)

• Passport-size Photographs

Why Does It Matter?

Counselling is a key phase in securing admission to MDS, India’s postgraduate dental degree. Seats get filled quickly, so timely registration and smart choice filling are critical. Each round offers a chance to upgrade; the stray vacancy round allows latecomers to snag leftover seats.
