NEET UG 2024 Registration for Round 2 Counselling Begins: Important Dates, Fees, and Process

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially opened registration for the second round of NEET UG 2024 counseling. This round is essential for students seeking admission into MBBS and BDS programs across various medical and dental colleges under the All India Quota (AIQ). For candidates who missed out on securing a seat in the first round, or those who did not report to their allotted institution, this is another opportunity to apply.

However, candidates who participated in the first round but were not allotted a seat or did not report to their assigned institution do not need to re-register. New applicants must complete the registration process, pay the necessary fees, and select their preferred colleges and courses.
