August 16, 2024: The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially started the choice-filling process for the NEET UG Counselling 2024 today, August 16, 2024. Candidates who have registered for the counselling can now fill and lock their choices on the MCC’s official website at mcc.nic.in.
The choice-filling process is a crucial step in the NEET UG counselling. It allows candidates to select their preferred colleges and courses. This step determines where they might secure a seat based on their NEET UG 2024 ranks.
Important Dates and Deadlines
The deadline to fill in choices is August 20, 2024, until 11:55 PM. However, candidates should note that choice locking will only be available from 4:00 PM on August 20, 2024, and will close at 11:55 PM on the same day.

During this time, candidates need to complete all necessary admission formalities at the allotted institute.
Following the reporting period, institutes will verify the data of the candidates who have joined. This verification will take place from August 30 to August 31, 2024. It is an essential step to confirm that candidates have genuinely joined the allotted colleges.
