NEET UG 2025 counselling round 1: Choice locking begins; Step-by-step process, direct link here
The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has officially started the choice locking process for Round 1 of NEET UG Counselling 2025. This step is crucial for candidates who have successfully qualified NEET UG 2025, completed registration and filled their preferred choices on the official MCC portal – mcc.nic.in.
What is choice locking in NEET UG counselling?
Choice locking allows candidates to finalise and confirm their selected medical or dental colleges and courses under the All India Quota (AIQ). Once the choices are locked, no further changes can be made. If candidates fail to lock their preferences manually before the deadline, the system will automatically lock the last saved choices.
How to lock choices for NEET UG Counselling 2025 – step-by-step:
- Visit the official MCC website: mcc.nic.in
- Click on the “UG Medical Counselling” section
- Log in using your NEET Roll Number and Password
- Fill or rearrange your list of preferred colleges and courses
- Click on ‘Lock Choices’
- Confirm and download the locked choices slip for future reference

Important points to remember:
- Only candidates who have completed the choice filling process are eligible to lock choices.
- Make sure to manually lock your choices before the deadline to avoid automatic locking by the system.
- Once locked — either manually or automatically — your choices are final and will be used for Round 1 seat allotment.
- No edits or modifications are allowed after the locking process. So, it’s advised to review all preferences carefully, considering your NEET UG 2025 rank, college reputation and course priorities.
- Stay updated with the official MCC schedule and ensure timely action to avoid missing out on your preferred college.
