The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has decided to extend the date for postgraduate medical candidates to resign from the seats they were allotted during Round 1 and Round 2 of NEET PG 2024 counselling. Candidates now have until 6:00 PM on January 8, 2025, to submit their resignations.
Important Takeaways of the Resignation Date
Deadline Extended
After a number of candidates requested more time to make decisions, the deadline for resignation was extended. Initially, the deadline was set for December 26, 2024.
Procedure for Resignation
Applicants must appear in person to their assigned colleges to begin the resignation process.
It would be very much important to make an online resignation letter from the MCC portal of the college allotted for a candidate. In that case, resignation will be deemed void.
A security deposit paid during the counselling process shall be forfeited if a candidate resigns from an allotted seat.
Special Instructions for Candidates
Fresh Allottees of Round 2
Newly allotted candidates in Round 2 who joined but now want to resign can do so with the forfeiture of the security deposit if they follow the resignation timeline.
Upgraded Candidates in Round 2
Candidates who got an upgraded seat in Round 2, joined the upgraded seat, but now want to resign can resign from their seat with the forfeiture of the security deposit.
Seat Allotment for Round 3
Allotment Outcome
The MCC is going to release the seat allotment outcome of Round 3 on January 4, 2025.
College Reporting
Those candidates who got seats in Round 3 will have to report to their respective colleges between January 6 and January 13, 2025.
Verification of Candidates
These candidates are to be verified on January 14 and January 15, 2025.
Purpose of the Extension
This extension gives candidates further time to rethink their decision so that they make the right decision for their postgraduate medical education. MCC will have to take into account the needs of the candidates while ensuring a streamlined counseling process.
Advisory for Candidates
Given Instructions: Ensure resignation goes through as per the guidelines of MCC to be considered valid; otherwise, it gets automatically invalidated
Check Deadlines: Deadlines for both resignation and reporting at colleges must be adhered to without fail.
