NEET (UG) 2025 State wise Counselling
NEET UG Counselling: The counselling process is a critical stage in any competitive exam, and when it comes to one of the largest entrance exams in the country like NEET, it becomes even more crucial. For many students, NEET counselling is a phase where confusion often arises, and mistakes can happen. This stage is as important as the exam itself – it’s truly a “make or break” point.
NEET counselling is the process where students select and organize their preferred colleges and courses. After that, the counselling authorities review these preferences and assign seats based on the candidates’ ranks.
