- Your result and scorecard
- Medical registration and internship records
- Category proof required by your chosen counselling route
Check your name and other key details on each paper. If they differ, ask the official helpdesk what proof it needs. Keep the reply in your folder.
Check the entrance route for your course
Start with the course and institute you want. Check which exam it accepts. Some use a separate exam, such as INI-CET. Each exam has its own form and entry rules. The AIIMS examination portal publishes INI-CET course notices.
Before you register for counselling
Check the date by which you must finish your internship. Read the rules for medical registration, category proof and your seat pool. Then check the round dates and register on the right portal. Signing up for the exam and for counselling are separate steps.
Use MCC’s PG counselling page for its bulletin, schedule and notices. For state seats, use that state’s PG authority. Use the PG rules for your course.
Before locking choices, check each college’s fees and bond. Our bond-reading checklist explains the questions to ask, but the PG form for your college sets your terms. After an allotment, follow the college’s reporting notice and save proof of joining.
Use the correct year’s result
The 2025 NEET PG result archive is a historical reference. Use your own 2026 record for this cycle. For the next year, check the new dates and bulletin.
