Introduction:
NEET 2025 is expected to see record-breaking participation — but cracking the exam is only half the battle. Many students lose their dream medical seat not due to low marks, but due to avoidable mistakes in NEET counselling. Here’s your guide to the most common blunders and how to stay ahead.
- Not Understanding AIQ vs State Quota Many students don’t know the difference between All India Quota (AIQ) and their respective State Quota.
Avoid it: Apply in both AIQ and State rounds to increase your chances. Don’t miss deadlines for state-specific counselling bodies. - Incomplete or Incorrect Documents Thousands of students are disqualified every year due to missing or mismatched documents.
Avoid it: Keep original documents and at least 4–5 photocopies ready: NEET scorecard, admit card, domicile, caste certificate, income proof (if applicable), passport-size photos, etc. - Wrong Choice Filling Strategy Students either go too ambitious or too safe while filling choices.
Avoid it: Balance your choices — fill high-rank dream colleges, realistic options, and backup colleges. Use tools and guidance to calculate your odds. - Missing Deadlines & Wrong Registration Each state has different timelines and platforms. Students often miss out due to lack of awareness.
Avoid it: Stay updated via NEETAdvice.com or join our alerts group. Register on official counselling websites only (MCC, state authorities). - Misinterpreting Category & Reservation Rules Many students are unaware of their category benefit or misrepresent their status.
Avoid it: Double-check your category eligibility. Upload valid certificates. Avoid fake or last-minute documents. - Not Reporting After Allotment Some students are allotted colleges but fail to report physically or pay fees on time.
Avoid it: Don’t take allotted seats lightly. Visit the institute or report online (if applicable) and complete admission formalities within deadline. - Falling for Fraud Agents Every year, many students lose lakhs by trusting unverified agents who promise direct MBBS admission.
Avoid it: Take guidance from trusted, experienced counsellors. Global Gurukul in Amravati has helped 2000+ students with genuine counselling. - Ignoring Counselling for Deemed & Private Universities Some students assume private colleges don’t require counselling — which is false.
Avoid it: Even for private/deemed universities, counselling is done through MCC or state processes.
- Not Understanding AIQ vs State Quota Many students don’t know the difference between All India Quota (AIQ) and their respective State Quota.
