As per the released Round 2 seat matrix, fresh selections are allowed for 2,423 clear vacancies. Additionally, the matrix also states that there are 5,605 virtual seats. With the changes to the resignation process of Round 1, and developments in the court, the MCC has resumed the 2nd round of super-specialty counselling. Therefore, eligible candidates for Round 2 are advised to be updated with the latest schedule. Do not rely on previous counselling dates.
Round 2 notice and vacancy documents have also been published by the MCC on the super-speciality counselling portal.
What Are Clear and Virtual Vacancies?
In the Round 2 seat matrix, clear and virtual vacancies are categorized. Clear vacancies refer to vacancies for fresh selections, and include seats that became vacant due to non-joining or resigning candidates.
For Round 2, the MCC has defined 2,423 clear vacancies and 5,605 virtual vacancies. Candidates are advised to carefully check the official seat matrix before exercising their choice, since the availability of seats is subject to change by speciality, institution, and category.

Who Can Participate in Round 2?
Round 2 includes DM, MCh, and DNB super-speciality admission candidates. According to MCC rules, candidates who did not take part in Round 1 or candidates eligible to take part according to the newly revised counselling rules will be included.
Significant is the fact that candidates who resigned from Round 1 and did so in the time allowed will be included in Round 2 under the rules that apply. According to Careers360, those candidates will not need to pay the registration fee and security deposit again. This is in light of the latest developments of a Delhi High Court order regarding the right to re-register and participate.
What Happens After You Are Assigned a Seat?
The NEET SS Round 2 seat allotment is set to be declared on August 13. Allotted candidates of DM, MCh or DNB will be required to fulfil the admission formalities and report to the allotted institution between August 14 and August 20. Candidates will have to download their allotment details and adhere to the reporting instructions of MCC and the institution. Failure to do so will result in loss of seat.
