- Document Preparation: Collect all necessary documents, including NEET scorecard, admit card, identity card, class 10th and 12th mark sheets, domicile certificate, caste certificate (if applicable) and recent passport-sized photographs.
Registration
Candidates who have qualified for NEET UG must first register online on the official counseling website. This involves creating a profile, entering personal and academic details, and paying the required counseling fee.
Choice Filling and Locking
After registration, candidates need to select their preferred medical and dental colleges and courses from the available options. It’s important to carefully consider choices and prioritize them according to preference. Once choices are made, they must be locked and submitted within the given timeframe.
Seat Allotment
The seat allotment process is conducted in multiple rounds. Based on the candidate’s NEET score, preferences, and seat availability, seats are allocated. The results of each round are announced on the official website. Candidates can check their allotment status by logging into their accounts.
Reporting to the Allotted College
Candidates who are allotted a seat must report to the designated college within the specified time frame. During reporting, candidates need to carry original documents for verification and complete the admission formalities.

Upgradation and Second Round Counseling
Candidates who are not satisfied with their allotted seat or wish to upgrade can participate in subsequent rounds of counseling. They need to indicate their willingness for upgradation during the reporting process or in their online profile.
Joining the College
Once the seat is confirmed and all formalities are completed, candidates can join the college as per the academic schedule. It’s important to attend the orientation and start attending classes as per the college’s guidelines.
