Bhubaneswar, Odisha — The Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DME), Odisha is the source of the official information regarding the updated schedule and other details for the counselling process of the second round of the NEET PG 2025 state quota postgraduate medical seats. The notice provides information about the key dates, rules of the procedure, and the MD, MS, and diploma state quota seat matrix, including management quota seats for a few private medical institutions.
Revised Counselling Schedule
The window for choice filling and locking of Round 2 counselling has been changed and will now be available from December 18 to December 20, 2025. This stage is very important for those candidates who:
- We’re not able to get a seat in Round 1,
- Wished to upgrade their option after Round 1,
- Decided to participate in the state quota process for the first time.
Those candidates who have been allotted seats in the first round and want to take part in Round 2 should relinquish their previously allotted seat, that is, they must resign from the already allotted seat within the resignation window as per the official counselling notification.
Seat Matrix Overview: The DME has come up with the seat matrix for the second round which also entails:
the seats that have remained unfilled after the first round of counselling, newly created seats, if any, and category-wise distribution of seats for MD, MS, and postgraduate diploma courses under the state quota and management quota segments. Even though the detailed seat matrix file can be found on the official counselling portal, the general idea is to maintain transparency and fair allocation of the seats available in the government and the privately affiliated institutions throughout the state.
Contribution Rules and Eligibility:
Qualified candidates have to choose their preferences within the given timeframe through the official Odisha DME counselling portal. To work on predilections, the portal users should have valid login credentials, which include an application number and date of birth.
Adherence to the choice-locking deadlines is compulsory, as failure to comply will result in disqualification from this round of counselling. Late submissions or incomplete applications will not be considered.
Next Steps and Seat Allotment. Once the candidates have locked their choices:
The second round of seat allotment results will be made public soon after. Those who have been allotted seats will print their allotment letters; Verification of documents and admission formalities should be performed at the respective institutes within the time frame which is clearly mentioned in the counselling notification. The update provided by the Odisha DME about the time and seat matrix for the Round 2 aims at facilitating the counselling process for the medical graduates of the state who are thousands in number and reach out for a clear and organized pathway toward admission for the academic session 2025–26.
