The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET-UG) 2022 results were announced on September 7, 2022. Out of 17,64,571 examinees, a total of 9,93,069 candidates qualified for the biggest medical exam in India recording a pass percentage of 56.27. Now, the candidates who passed the exam are eligible to appear for the NEET UG counselling round, which is expected to begin soon.
NEET 2022: Counselling process
The NEET counselling is likely to be conducted in four rounds. If in case the seats still remain vacant, additional rounds may be announced. First, all eligible candidates will have to register themselves. After registrations, candidates will have to choose the college and course they wish to apply for. Based on choice and merit (marks obtained in NEET), students will be allocated colleges.
In the first round, if a candidate gets a college/course of choice, they need to submit the fee and verify their documents to book a seat. If not, they can float the seat and wait for the next round. Vacant seats will be up for grabs in the next round. In round 2, there will be no option of upgradation to the mop-up round.
Candidates who have joined the allotted seat in round 2 and further rounds of counselling will not be allowed to resign or take part in any of the further rounds of counselling. Candidates who have not joined the allotted seat in the second round will be eligible for further rounds of counselling subject to forfeiture of the security deposit and fresh registration only in the mop-up round, the committee said.
