The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC), under the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), has issued an official notice dated July 31, 2026, allowing NEET SS Counselling 2025 candidates to resign their Round 1 allotted seats without forfeiting their security deposit. The relaxation is being permitted under exceptional circumstances and applies only to the current resignation window.

What the Official Notice Says

As per the notice issued by the Office of MCC, candidates who wish to resign their Round 1 seats allotted through MCC counselling for the Super Speciality (NEET SS) 2025 session have been allowed to do so without losing their security deposit. The notice explicitly states that this exception is being granted in the interest of candidates and should not be treated as a precedent for future rounds or sessions.

Resignation Deadline and Process

According to the official notice, candidates can approach their allotted college to resign their seat and collect their original documents within a fixed window: from 12:00 PM on July 31, 2026, to 6:00 PM on August 4, 2026. The notice makes clear that this is a strict deadline, after which the option to resign without forfeiture will no longer apply.

  • Resignation window opens: 12:00 PM, July 31, 2026
  • Resignation window closes: 6:00 PM, August 4, 2026
  • Security deposit: Not forfeited if resignation is completed within the window
  • Resignation letter: Must be generated 'Online' from the MCC portal by the college authorities
  • Offline resignation letters issued by colleges: Treated as 'Null and Void'
  • Candidates must physically approach their allotted college to initiate the process

Why This Matters for Candidates

Under standard MCC rules, resigning an allotted seat after reporting typically results in forfeiture of the security deposit. This one-time relaxation gives Round 1 allotted candidates in NEET SS 2025 counselling a way to exit their seat without a financial penalty, provided they complete the process correctly and within the stated deadline. Candidates who miss the window will not be able to claim this exemption later.

Important Steps to Follow

  • Visit your allotted college in person before the deadline
  • Request the college authorities to process your resignation
  • Ensure the resignation letter is generated online through the MCC portal by the college, not issued offline
  • Collect your original documents from the college once resignation is processed
  • Retain a copy of the online resignation confirmation for your records

This is a developing update from MCC's Super Speciality Counselling desk. Candidates are advised to keep checking the official MCC website directly for any further notices or extensions related to the NEET SS 2025 counselling process.
