The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has issued an urgent notice for candidates participating in the NEET SS counselling for 2025, allowing them to resign from their Round 1 allotted seats without the risk of losing their security deposit. This decision comes as part of an effort to safeguard the interests of students, following a directive from the Directorate General of Health Services. The deadline for candidates to resign their seats is set for August 4, 2026.According to the MCC's announcement, candidates who wish to resign from their Round 1 seats must do so by physically visiting their currently assigned medical colleges. It is crucial for these candidates to collect all original documents submitted during the admission process before the deadline. Failure to report within the specified timeframe will result in the automatic locking of their current allotted seat, which could hinder their chances in future counselling rounds.The MCC has outlined specific conditions for the resignation process. Candidates are required to generate their official resignation letters online through the MCC portal. Any resignation letters submitted in physical form or through offline channels will be deemed invalid and treated as null and void by the counselling committee. This measure is intended to streamline the resignation process and ensure that all resignations are properly documented and processed.While the MCC's decision allows for a more flexible resignation process, it is important to note that this does not guarantee any rights for candidates in subsequent counselling rounds. The committee has emphasized that the option to resign without forfeiting the security deposit is limited to the current round and does not extend to future rounds of counselling.As the deadline approaches, eligible candidates are encouraged to act promptly to ensure they meet all requirements for the resignation process. The MCC's initiative aims to provide clarity and support to students navigating the complexities of medical admissions, reinforcing its commitment to student welfare in the competitive landscape of medical education.
