As per the Supreme Court’s order, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare has constituted a Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) for allotment of 15 per cent All India quota MBBS and BDS seats through centralised counselling this year.

Further, the counselling session would be done in two rounds and the seats will be allotted to aspirants through the central quota in the first phase, while in the second phase, through state quota.

The two-phased counselling will be held in Uttar Pradesh (UP) because the Akhilesh Yadav government adopted NEET in state medical colleges unlike many states.

As per the official data, around 7, 31,223 candidates had appeared for the examination.
