Latest Update About NEET SS Counselling 2026
For admission to Super Specialty programs like DM, MCh, and DrNB (SS), the NEET SS 2025 counseling schedule has been made public. The Medical Counselling Committee will handle the counseling procedure for eligible applicants from all Indian medical facilities.
The official announcement states that the counseling process will be conducted in several rounds, including Round 1 and Round 2, during which candidates must finish the registration, option filling, seat allocation, and reporting processes within the allotted time frames. In order to participate in the admissions process, candidates who passed the NEET SS exam must follow to the schedule.
There will be three rounds of NEET SS counseling in 2026: round 1, round 2, and a stray round. Candidates are eligible for the first round if their NEET SS rank qualifies them for All India Quota seats.
Vacant seats are provided in round 2 following the conclusion of round 1. New applicants are eligible to re-register, including those who did not register before or did not show up after a seat was assigned. Candidates may immediately submit new selections for round two if they chose to upgrade in the first round.
For the remaining open seats, the stray round is carried out. However, candidates are not eligible for the stray round if they have already enrolled in or are currently holding seats from rounds 1 or 2 of All India counselling, or if they were given seats as in-service candidates through Tamil Nadu state counselling.
