However, the tutoring schedule has not yet been announced.After the NEET UG results are announced, the Medical Consultative Committee (MCC) will release the counseling schedule for 15% All India Quota (AIQ), AIIMS, JIPMER, Central Universities and recognized universities. The state authorities will separately announce the consultation schedule for the remaining 85% state quota seats.During the tutoring period, candidates need to register online, pay tutoring fees, and fill in their favorite colleges and courses.
