After the months-long wait, the Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is all set to begin the counselling process for the NEET undergraduate admissions. Students who have cleared the medical entrance exam will have to apply for the counselling process by registering for the same at mcc.nic.in.

The counselling beginning on January 19 will be for All India Quota (AIQ). A total of 15 per cent of seats of medical colleges across India fall under AIQ. Further Central universities, ESIC, AIIMS, JIPMER, AFMS will also fill seats under AIQ. Once begun, the registration process for the first round will conclude on January 28. Meanwhile, from January 27, the state counselling will be conducted by respective state counselling authorities.

This time, the authorities are not likely to offer any extensions.
