Step-by-Step Process for NEET UG 2024 Round 2 Counselling

1. Filling the Online Application Form

The first crucial step in Round 2 counselling is completing the online application form. If you missed filling the application form in Round 1, now is your chance to complete both Part 1 and Part 2 of the form.

• Start Date for Application: 15th September 2024
• Last Date to Submit: 17th September 2024

Candidates who registered and filled the application form in Round 1 do not need to register again. However, if both parts of the form were not completed earlier, you must ensure they are filled before the deadline.

2. Application Fee Payment

Before proceeding with the choice filling, candidates must pay the required application fee. This is a mandatory step for those participating in Round 2 counselling. Ensure the fee is deposited through the official website before the deadline (17th September 2024).

3. Verification for Special Categories (PwD, Defence, NRI)

Candidates belonging to the PwD, Defence/Para Military, and NRI categories, who were not verified during Round 1, need to undergo document verification at SMS Medical College, Jaipur on 18th September 2024. This step is essential for inclusion in the respective merit lists and seat allotment.

4. Provisional Merit List and Vacant Seat Matrix

Once the verification is complete, the provisional merit list for all categories (General, OBC, SC, ST, MBC, EWS, etc.) will be published on 19th September 2024. This will include the merit lists for the PwD, Defence, and NRI categories after the verification process.

• After resignations from candidates who opted out of their Round 1 allotments, the provisional vacant seat matrix will be updated and published on 23rd September 2024. This list will show the available seats for Round 2.

5. Security Deposit for MBBS and BDS Seat Allotment

Candidates need to deposit a security amount before participating in the choice-filling process. The amount depends on the seat and college type. Here’s a breakdown:

• Government Medical Colleges (MBBS): ₹50,000 for UR/EWS/OBC/SC/ST candidates.
• Management Seats (MBBS) in Govt. Society Colleges: ₹2,00,000
• Private Medical Colleges (MBBS): ₹5,00,000
• NRI Seats (MBBS): ₹5,00,000
• BDS Course: ₹10,000 for Govt. Dental College and Private Dental Colleges.

If you deposited the security amount in Round 1, you don’t need to pay again. However, if you wish to change your seat preference, you’ll need to deposit the difference amount as per your new choice of seat/college.

6. Choice Filling and Locking

The choice filling process will commence from 20th September to 24th September 2024. Candidates can fill in their preferences for MBBS and BDS seats during this period. Here’s what you need to know:

• Earlier choices will not be considered for Round 2. So, you must fill new choices even if you participated in Round 1.
• You can modify your choices multiple times before the final auto-locking on 24th September 2024 (5 PM).
• Candidates who don’t fill their choices will not be considered for seat allotment.

Who needs to participate in the choice filling?

• Candidates not allotted a seat in Round 1.
• Those who got an allotment in Round 1 but didn’t join or resigned.
• Newly registered candidates.
• Note: Candidates who want to retain their Round 1 seat don’t need to fill choices again.

7. Round 2 Seat Allotment

Once the choice filling process is complete, the Round 2 seat allotment results will be published on 27th September 2024. Candidates can log in to the official website to view their allotment status and download the allotment letter.

8. Fee Payment and Reporting to Allotted Colleges

Candidates allotted a seat in Round 2 must pay the prescribed one-year tuition fee through NEFT/RTGS from 28th September to 5th October 2024. No other mode of fee payment will be accepted.

After paying the fee, you must report to the allotted college between 28th September and 5th October 2024 with the following documents:

• Allotment letter (printed from the website)
• Original documents (as listed in the Information Booklet)
• Two photocopies of the application form and relevant documents.
