Hello,

The details about the Counseling process is provided without any charges. You would be asked to pay a nominal amount for using the College Predictor and MBBS Companion feature by Careers 360.

------Also I should tell you that these as of now are of no importance for you since it is meant for students who have appeared in the NEET 2021 Examination and wish to know about the Colleges where they have chances of getting the MBBS /BDS seats.

You can read the information below for Counseling related details -

After the results are declared by National Testing Agency for the NEET UG Examination the Counseling process for seat allotment takes place.

There are two counseling process -

• All India Quota Counseling or AIQ Counseling

• State counseling

------Through All India Quota Counseling (15% seats reserved in medical colleges) you can take admission in any Government Medical college throughout India. (Note : All India Quota Counseling isn't conducted for seats in Private Medical Colleges)

------- MCC, Medical Counseling Committee conducts All India quota counseling for following seats -

Karnataka also allows other state students to participate in counseling for private seats.
