The initial counseling round for MBBS and BDS seats across Indian medical and dental colleges is slated for today, according to The Times of India.
The Times of India reported that the first round of admissions for undergraduate medical (MBBS) and dental (BDS) programmes will be held today. The counseling session is part of the centralized admission process overseen by the Medical Counseling Committee, which allocates seats based on NEET scores. Candidates who qualified the national entrance exam can now view their allotted colleges and submit acceptance forms within the prescribed window.
The schedule aims to streamline seat allocation for thousands of aspirants awaiting placement in government and private institutions. Officials have urged applicants to keep their documents ready and to log in to the official portal promptly to avoid delays. Any technical glitches or missed deadlines could affect a candidate's chance to secure a preferred college.
Stakeholders, including college administrators and student bodies, have expressed optimism that the timely conduct of the first round will reduce the backlog that has plagued previous admission cycles. The next rounds, covering remaining seats and waiting‑list candidates, are expected to follow in the coming weeks.
Applicants are advised to monitor updates on the official website and to contact the helpline for any clarifications regarding seat confirmation, fee payment, or document verification.
