The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has released a revised seat matrix for NEET PG 2025, updating the total number of postgraduate medical seats available for counselling in the 2025-26 academic year. The latest revision shows a total of 28,663 seats across MD, MS, PG Diploma, and DNB courses, slightly reduced from the earlier count of 28,760 due to the withdrawal of 103 seats and the addition of 6 new seats from private hospitals.

The withdrawal includes 49 MD/MS seats and 54 DNB seats as confirmed by MCC based on inputs from participating medical institutes. The revision ensures candidates have the most accurate and current data for the NEET PG counselling process, supporting transparency and uniformity across states and union territories.
