The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) is set to resume the stalled NEET SS 2025 Round 2 counselling process on June 1, 2026. The resumption follows a definitive Supreme Court ruling on Tamil Nadu's in-service super-speciality seat allocations.

The good news is for thousands of medical doctors who had been waiting for admission to the super-speciality courses. After positive talks with the officials of the Health Ministry and medical associations, the NEET SS Counselling 2025 process is likely to be resumed by June 1st, 2026. For the candidates affected by the delay of months, this is much relief.

However, the counselling Round 2 was held in a suspended state because of the Supreme Court cases of seat allocation and policy matters. The result was announced several times and the dates are as follows: April 7, 2026, May 4, 2026 and now, July 28, 2026. During Round 1, which was successfully completed in March, 2026, the later rounds were kept in limbo until a legal resolution was found.

What is the role of FAIMA's Intervention?

The Federation of All India Medical Associations (FAIMA) also actively worked to rectify the delay with official dialogues with Health Ministry officials. After these talks, FAIMA representatives stated that the process is going well and that procedures are almost ready. 

The association said that the counselling portal should be opened soon again and confirmed that medical associations such as FORDA have backed the move to update the portal after their convergence with the ministry officials.

Many doctors who are doing super-speciality training have suffered a lot of psychological stress and financial loss due to the delay. FAIMA has pointed out that this scenario has the potential to create a shortage of specialists in the healthcare delivery system in India. 

Once counselling is resumed, it's important to ensure the continuity of skilled medical personnel for enhanced medical care across the country.

Candidates are advised to keep checking with the official website of the Medical Counselling Committee for official notifications and counselling dates regularly. It is important that candidates have all the admission documents ready when the portal opens and set June 1, 2026 on their calendar as the likely date for the portal to be reopened. Please be sure to check the official MCC portal for all dates prior to making any final decisions.
