You need MD or DNB in a required medicine subject, and the degree must be from an NMC recognized medical college. You also need a valid NEET SS rank for the group that includes Neurology. If your degree paper or registration is missing, MCC will not keep the seat.

|---|---|
| Degree | MD or DNB in General Medicine, Paediatrics or an allowed feeder subject |
| Recognition | Degree from an NMC recognized medical college |
| Exam | NEET SS in the Neurology group |

NEET SS gives the rank and MCC allots the seat. You register on the MCC portal, fill MAHE DM Neurology as a choice and lock the list. If MCC allots the seat, you pay the fee and report for document check. If you miss the fee date, you lose the seat.

|---|---|
| Step 1 | Fill the NEET SS form on the NBEMS portal |
| Step 2 | Write NEET SS for the Neurology group |
| Step 3 | Register for MCC speciality counselling |

The General closing rank was 3,547 in 2025 and 4,022 in 2024 for DM Neurology. These are NEET SS closing ranks. The 2025 close went lower than 2024, so it got tougher for General students. Keep a safer choice if your rank is near the last close.
