Introduction to NEET Counselling Fees

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET) counselling process involves several fees that students must pay. These fees are essential for registration and securing a seat at various medical and dental colleges. Here, we detail the cost breakdown and important guidelines for the year 2024.

Payment Details for NEET Counselling 2024 by MCC

The Medical Counselling Committee (MCC) has set the registration fee for 2024 NEET counselling at Rs. 1000. This is a significant drop from previous years, making the process more affordable for aspirants.

To facilitate the counselling process, students need to pay a total fee of Rs. 1000 for registration, plus additional mandatory fees for security deposits. The security deposit amount varies based on the category and type of college (government or private).
